A lnatron and maid met at the novelty
counter in jewelry store the other day.
And what are you doing out so early
I'm the day?' asked the former of the lat
ter.
"Oh, I'm buying things for my Trilby
chain. 1 have all the house trinkets, but
I'm going to the games on tallyho
this afternoon, and I felt as if I must
buy my street ornaments to wear. They
are absolute necessities, you know. See,
here is a wee powder box with a dear
little pun inside, and a cutglass vinaig
rctte and a bonbon box, a case Of court
plaster, knife, a tiny comb in case,
here is a memorandum book that I've
purchased. L won't buy anything else to-
day because the clerk tells me that they
will soon bring out some entirely new
things for the chains, and I'm going 10

chain have. cost me $40 ana ! haven
any more of my allowance left"
''But why didn't you buy a silver heart
and chain?' protested the matron, and
then you could have worn the things that
you used to wear on your chatelaine on
your chain, and the cost would have been
considerably less"
the maid, with a scornful accent on the
silver. "Well, this is silver, but it's gilded,
and all of the trinkets are gilded silver.
Nobody wears bright silver nowadays.
Isn't that true?' she said, appealing to
the clerk.
silver is the newest and most popular"
he answered, although there IS a very
good sale for the bright silver chains and
well as the pure gold, and is much less eX-
pensive, but there are a great many wo-
men who will not have anything but the
pure gold, and the chain and ornaments
often cost over 500. The gilded silver is
quite pretty"

the girl fastening it to her chain in a
great hurry.
"Will you tell me what is left for the
women to wear on these chains in the
house?" the matron asked the clerk in an
'oh. yes,S he replied glibly, "they wear
scissors, emeries, bodktns, needle cases,
thread holders, twist winders, eyelet
punches pin cushions, thimble cases, and
a dozen other things used in sewing or
making fancy work. A young man was
buying some of these things for his sister
the other day and he said:

she can't hem a pocket handkerchief, but
it's style to swing all these implements of
industry from the neck, and the dear girl

next.
1t is difficult, says the New York Tri-
bune, to gain admittance to the inner
circle of Viennese aristocracy, and it Is
for that reason-and perhaps also because
they think the place too small to be worth
an effort-that so few Americans have be-
come part of the court circle OF the lit
