Mary TO introduce the big sleeve, fore

Only through distension, vast putting
and wiring could the costly gold-ombro.d-

advantage; but to-day the big sleeve Is

FINGER JEWELS.
Some Rare and Beautiful Rings Owned by
Weil-Known Women.
CWritten for the Dispatchl

Written for the Dispatch(
Mrs William Astors collection Of rings
is the most famous of any in this country.
She has several rings once the property
of the Empress Eugene. one IS the noted
Napoleon ring" which represents lily
in diamonds with drops Of dew upon the
petals The dewdrops are pearls and the
petals are diamonds.
Mrs Astor also owns Il ring made of
turquoise fashioned into forget-me-nots,
another is a snake ring which was pur-
chased in Egypt; it is made Of fine gold
wire, which scntllates and moves as If
alive: each scale of the snakes back Is
a tiny wire on which is ruby, an
emerald, and an amethyst. The effect is
marvellous.
Mrs. Burke Roche Is fond Of rings, and
seldom wears less than four or five. y
ninkv ring on her right hand set with a
cats eve; besides the wedding ring ana
circiet of pearls with the narrow gold
GUARD. there Is pinky ring on the left
hand and two on the third finger. one with
a huge solitaire pearl surrounded with
small diamonds. the other set with sap
phire.
Mrs. Paran Stevens decks her hands
brilliantly upon IcStlNe OCCASIONS, more
often she wears only her wedding ring,
n narrow band Of the old-fashioned type.
and rather worn from long wearing. she
possesses a ring which once belonged 10
th. Turkish empire, which is certainly
wonderful. There is an intricate band
woven OF fine silver At the setting Is
n lizard mace Of diamonds. In the tail
&c a spring, and when 1t is touched the
mouth OF the lizard opens to divulge the
interior of the throat, which is made OF
rubies and diamonds.
Mrs. Madge Kendall has among her col
lection a "gimmal ring" given TO her by
a member OF the royal family. 1t parts
into three hoops, the toothed edge OF the
central hoop forms an ornamental CEN
ira 10 the ring with two hearts in the
middle a band Is arranged In such
WAY that when the hoops are closed the
fingers Of the hand clasp tightly over the
two hearts.
Barbaric little ornaments are thumb
rings. but they are worn. however, Mrs.
Ella Wheeler Wilcox has one which is
costly. and always in its place on the
thumb OF her right hand. The actor Dixey
wore one for hong time. A member or
sorosls has also taken to the thumo-rine.
Mrs. Leland Stanford has collection OF
sixty rings. with every kind and descrip-
,ion of precious stones represented She
wears only her weddipg-rlng. however.
THE others, all strung on a black ribbon
are put away with the rest OF her Jewels
In a safe-deposit vault.

The last gun was fired,
The last roll was called;
Half-starved. and half-naked,
Grim, gaunt, unappalled;
Bowed down, but not daunted,
The old army stood
81 have done, my brave soldiers,
All things for your good
Thus spoke their great leader
Deep grief on his face,
While a halo OF glory
Ilumined the place:
Some trailed their muskets,
Some sheathcd their swords;
They had smiled at Grants cannon,
They wept at Lees words.
And Grant was as courteous
As the grand knights OF Old;
No glad shouts were uttered.
No loud drums were rolled;
But the yictors ssluted
Those raunt men In gray,
And the firc-winged tempest
Died slowly away.
