FASHIONS IN JEwELRY.
Yachting, GoIfing and Boating Have
Taken the Place of Fancy Pins.

Taken the Place of Fancy Pins.
From the st. Louis Republic.
The yachting pin, which has been pop
ular for the last five years, is at last
''called mas the college boys say. 1t
has gone its way with the very last sem
| blance of masculinity woman. The jew
/ elers invented it when the stiff bosomed
shirt and four-in-hand tie was in vogue,
and from that day TO this every young
/ woman who belonged to a yachting fam
/ lily or had yachting admirer was sure to
/ fasten her tie with little enameled en-
sign, or, perhaps, club burgee.
! 1t must not be supposed, however, that
} because the pin has grown questionable

their attire their salt water affiliations

The jewelers. are displaying over

or Regiuald's ensign, or the device of
some one of the great yachting clubs

colors of the leading colleges which are

waists of those maidens who are courage
Gus enough to sit upon grand stand in a
bitter east wind, and watch the splendid
tussels that win championships. The
/ Harvard buckle has a flag of white and
red enamel. Yale is dark blue, and
Princeton's shows a com bination of vel
low and black. These buckles lie tempt
ingly in the show cases threaded with
heavy ribbons of the snow white sort,
which are the most worn this season to
correspond with the dead white of the
popular duck suits.
Another new and pretty device of en-
emaled silver, which is, by the way, the
most ia shiOnable form of jewelry for the
moment, is fine thread of white metal
which passes through the pair and holds
in place delicate pair of butterfly wings.
so skillfully treated by the enameler as to
perfectly reproduce the velvetly colors of
the insect. There is a passion for any
form of tiara like hair ornament just now,
and this serves very effectively to replace
the ornaments of precious stones which
are usually laid aside with the coming of
summer, unless one means to DO the New
port act and be very gay indeed. Other
hair ornaments of silver are shown but
are hardly to be recommended to women
of taste.
Very pretty, however, are the silver be-
longings of the universally worn bodice
Sets of white enamel. showing a pioue
surface, or one Stimulating linen. are pop
ular, but the prettiest have a
center of polished white surrounded
by tOriatCd silver scroll,
These are very cheap, the studs
costing but % cents apiece and the sleeve
links 81. These links are long and wedge
shaped, and the white surface is sprinkled
with the tiniest of silver stars The
same styles are shown with enameling of
ruby red, sapphire blue, emerald green and
amethyst purple
The Mexican and South American tur-
quoise is much used in combination with
this silver iewelry, but it is only in seed
sizes, and though it is rarely that a good
American turquoise of any weight is
found, the seed stones are quite as dur
able and good in color as the Persian
gems. Set closely they make charming
belt buckles in the shape of big double
hearts, linked rings, diamonds and the
like, and are most popular in the long
lace daggers which are so useful with
summer gowns These have very large
and elaborate handles, but are copied
after the best old sword handles of
Charles is time. and are, therefore.
IN spite of their size, never coarse in ap-
pearance.

In every direction. Perhaps the very
newest thing the jewelers. show is the
Henrietta Maria rosette, with filagree

masculine and feminine sleeves, shoulders
