The Latest Fad in Wearing These
GlittcrinE Ornaments.
Really one begins to wonder where the
craze for silver and gold imitation Of pre-
cious stones and frenzy for glitter and
show is going to end. The shops are full
of little tricks to catch the attention of
the beauty lover and snare the pennies
actually. the pennies. for 1t has got down
to that. In a shop the other day two
ladies met and the older of the two said
to the younger, How sweet you look in
that white serge, and what beautiful dia-
mond studs. My dear. you must have
struck 1t rich this summer"
And the younger lady remarked with a
laugh, ''Why. do they really look like dia-
monds7 I paid Just 10 cents each for
them.''
The older woman said she was going
home to pawn her nearly $4,000 worth of
diamonds, as 1t was simply senseless to
keep them in the house when s. would buy
she could wear without the risk Of having
them stolen.
The very latest fad In jewelry is to string
all the trinkets that you once wore on q
chatelaine on your long opera chain watch
guard. Stick the watch in the belt and
let the other trinkets swing below, to
catch in everything catchable. Among the
numerous adjuncts Of this watch chain
curiosity shop Is the smelling bottle, cal.
endar, pencil, purse and bon-bon box. II
you have a Trilby heart, a paper knife and
q pair Of scissors, you might hang them
on too.

Feature Receptions.

Feature" receptions bid fair to be a fad
this season. AS travel Is such an every
day matter. women are penetrating into
the most singular. places and gathering
relics Of most remarkable character.
OF course, these things should be seen by
those who will care for them, so the wo-
man who owns the curios fixes up room
in her house with them, and then issues in
vitations to the select circle Of friends who
are interested in the fad She dresses
herself and her servants like the people
Of the land where she picked up her brio
a-brac, and has some one prepared to lee
ture on the country. its people and indus
tries. Sometimes this may be pleasant
and sometimes it might not be. One lady
who has just returned from Hawaii thinks
she will do the lecture part Of the act her
self, but as the native attire Of the dusky
islanders is of the simplest character and
decidedly abbreviated it is not likely that
she will attempt anything in the living
picture line, at least until the fad Is few
months older. Certainly. these feature re-
ceptions will be an agreeable change from
the dreary round of teas and luncheons.

Great London.

From the Quarterly Review.
London Is perhaps the most eccentric
worder in the history Of the world. Its
vast extent of sordid inartlstic building,
and it's enormous migratory ledger popula-
ton; its abundant evidence Of wealth and
yet its widespread areas of local poverty;
its feeble-minded native occupants and the
energy of its foreign and provincial immi-
grants; the sumptuousness of its western
mansions and its unlimited extent Of
squalid homes; its ill-arranged. ill-kept and
dirty streets and its polluted atmosphere
are all exceptional, and most of them are
in their various ways superlative. More
over, London, all its gifts considered, Is
perhaps the least efficient and least tnfiu-
entail aggregate of people on the globe.
A population SO enormous and condensed
Is, from sheer incapacity of apprehension
lutely and without comparison, and to sup
pose that In its special sphere the actual
condition Is at once natural and necessary.
London so completely fills the eye Of Lon
doners that they become incapable Of
measuring the great community or of es-
timating it's condition and its worth by any
outer standard. Hence 1t Is that the chief
city in the world falls frequently behind
those less important places which are not
completely overwhelmed by their own
greatness. Petty capitals and large pro-
vincial towns compare themselves with one
another, to their mutual benefit. They
are not left to the assumption that in their
respective areas and communities whatever
is, or is determined, must be natural and
right.

anecdote that comes to us from those dingy

sufficient public spirit to furnish as much

outside his door a lantern. Although the

can be had in a little shovel of iron-color
gle ssy china, the short handle in wood
brown. The candle holder has a well-bal-
anced position in the center of the shovel,
and a match box, excellently copied in pale
yellow, leans agar st the handle end of the
spade. The quaintest of all candlestick
ccnceits is a recent importation from Hol-
lard. 1t is old blue Delft, in the shape of a
house. with its tall gable and chimney or
nementally edged with silver. The house is
to be lifted from the foundation when the

sired.
Lamps have lost none of their popularity,
and will appear this winter in exquisite de-
signs. A low reading lamp Of hand-carved
brass. with handles, is in graceful old

brass in an open pattern. lined with glass
Of turquoise blue. Owing to the prevailing
fancy for Holland blue and white porce-
lain, the Chinese vases OF antique blue,
which served as lamp holders a few sea-
sons ago, have been supplanted by Delft
lamps, shaded with round glass globes,
softly painted with sails and windmills.
Family crests are another favorite decora-
ton for lamp globes.
