THE BLUE STOCKING BADGE

From across the sea comes the infor-
nation that bangle bracelets are to be
worn again.
Doubtless this will find greater favor
than the accompanying announcement
which says that earrings are also to be
revived. Earrings SAVIOR of the barbara,
and women hesitate to renew their ac-
q~uaintance.
There are ever changing fashions IN
jewelry nowadays, so that the foregoing
is not altogether surprising.

watch and dial are placed in the centre

could spend but two hours daily upon
the task. The works are so infn1testlmai
that he could use his eyes no longer,
even with the aid of a most powerful
magnifying glass. This odd fancy or a
watch cost something less than a thou-
sand dollars. 1t is one of the most decor
ative examples shown and is particularly
notable for the richness of the setting.
