N the center a yellow topaz nearly the
size of a 2o-cent piece. Around this.
studding the gold and introduced as part
of the design, were eight good-sized
diamonds, which sparkled and flashed IN
contrast with the rich, dull glare of the
topaz.
The topaz, while not particularly yalu
able stone, should be cndeared to the
hearts of patriotic Americans from the

Custis, contained this stone.
The general run OF these vinaisrettes, is
from three to four inches In height. The
smaller ones, which SO conveniently slip
