watch Chains q Narrow Ribbon.

The watch chain is againsin favor. No
longer is the jeweled watch fastened to
milady's corsage. Instead it is tucked
securely within her bodice. The chain
is most inconspicuous affair of narrow
ribbon. The chains have a small silver
or gold clasp TO hold the ribbons to-
gether and catch at the end, to which
the watch is fastened. Narrow black
ribbon is used in preference to any
other. Cold chains hardly larger than
a thread are also used, and narrow
strings Of tiny jewels are also dignified
by the name Of watch chains.
