Brooches and Watch ChatelHines to BE of
New Designs This Season.

New Designs This Season.
Spring and fall fashions are as well
recognized episodes in our trade as
with those who deal in gowns and bon

try to rejuvenate certain patterns and
revive or reintroduce some forgotten
stone. In the spring and autumn women
whose weddings or anniversaries fall
in those seasons, and whose pocket
books are sure then to be at the high
tide of fulness, bring us our paying
patronage, and we must be ready for
them. This time we are working on
new designs for brooches and watch
chatelaines, for the brooch has wholly
superseded the stick pin. Every six
months capricious femininity wishes
to carry her watch at a new angle. All
the ordinary chatelaines will soon be
set aside to make way for the chain
and double pin from which the various
begemmed little timekeepers will
hang. The chain is of gold or silver,
and, about four inches long At either

with strong clasps, and, when caught
on the shoulder of a gown, carry the
watch suspended on the chain between
them. The pattern for these pins con-
sists of twin gold eagles, which have
come to take the place of the long
suffering dragon, while on the watches
themselves we are now enamelling
white swans, bearing pointed coronets
of diamonds on their heads.
Instead of twin hearts the new
brooches are to be small and large jew
elled circles, tapping one upon anoth-
er, circles of diamonds and rubies, tur-
quoise and pearls, or water opals and
sapphires. But our most earnest effort
will be to introduce again to feminine
favor the wearing of beads. than which
Pearls. of course, are always worn, but
from Naples are coming strings of big
coral beads, some as richly red as the
sun warmed side of peach, or family
pink as primroses. The necklaces we
make in five or seven strands are meant
to clasp outside the collar of a silk or
Bingham dress. Amber beads are
strung into high close collarettes,
caught up at intervals with narrow
]atches of gold delicately repoussed in
patterns of flowers. In Paris the jew
ellers have combined with the dress
makers to bring green prominently in
to fashion by using beads cut from an
Opaque green stone. These are highly
polished, strung with small gold balls,
and worn as many as twelve strands
in necklace.
But the novelty of the season is sure
to be the harlequin cat's-eyes, that have
not before been seen in New York, and
merit all the admiration they receive.
Shaded in translucent tones of rose
and golden brown they show an arc of
