Sharp weather and also the fact that
furs are now reduced greatly below
Fall prices. have produced much act;v-
ity in the trade. because not few per-
sons wait until after New Years to
purchase. Especially is this the case
in regard to articles of recent introduce
ton, since they are sure to be fashion
able next season, while as We all know,

like diamonds, a safe investment and

are in much variety as to design, this
being readily accounted for by the fact
that they chiefly stimulate the innumer-
able company of flowers, contrast and
still greater diversity ensuing from an
imitation of insects or small serpents,
one reason for such choice, being the
unusual prominence of green in dress.
Necklaces are in particular demand,
from the slender gold chain worn by
the debutants, to gems arranged in
magnificent succession or occasionally,
to collars where small jewels set close
together, form patterns, as for example,
when river OF rubies is made to flow
on a bed of pearls. A collar of this
kind is made of sixteen hundred small
stones. Pendants are very fashionable
and the majority so devised as to be
worn either as pendant or brooch.
Small chatelaines worn high on one
side of the corsage, are most popular.
