SHAM JEWELS.
Russian Ladies Are Wearing Paste at
Most Public Functions.


a curious fact concerning the festivi-
Ties over the coronation OF the car is the
enormous i'm petus 1t has given to the
manufacture Of paste gems in the land
of the Muscovite. Russians, it appears,
even of rank and status, are prone to the
weakness known rs kieptomaDia, and
wise women prepared for possible loss
by su ubsttuting sham jewels for real. A
pageant and display such as has neen
desrlped must inevitably call for the
wearing of such gems as are seldom seen.
1t is rather amusing TO learn that nuch
OF the splendor is pretence, ard that,
too, because the grand DANES DO not
dare trust their treasures in a crush, even
though the crowd be composed of their
own kind. Among the Muscovites,
however, the sin is said to be held a
trifing one, and the story is told that
one lady of high rank was caught sppro-
priating her cousins emeralds, ana that
tue victim declined to prosecute, merely
saying "Poor Sophiel! 1t is a very
painful and nervous disorder.
So Ru ssisn ladies are wearing paste
jewels at most public functions, reserv-
iag their genuine ones for private gather
ings where they can teel more secure. So
the paste industry is at present in more
flourishing condition than ever in
Russia.
