JewelrY Worn Profusely.

There are fashions in jewelry as i'll everything else Just now the fashion is to pile Pelion upon Ossa. If you have feur pearl nael1lets, you are expected to wear them ali at the same time and to distribute your diamond brooches at random among the laees and chiffons Of your evening corsage. Noself respecting Parisian woman dreams of wearing her moming gown without q string of pearls round her neck, and even English women como down to breakfast bepearled and bediamonded. The newest necklace is a string of gold wrought so finely as to be scarcely thicker than a stout thread of cotton. From this chain hangs large ,. ldant of precious or semiprecious stones, of which the setting should not be discernible But for my part prefer the chain first brought into fashion by Mrs. Patrick Campbell few seasons ago, and designed, believe, by her, of thin gold, studded at intervals of two or three inches with some precious stones, such as the amethyst, topaz, ohrysophase, garnet, etc. Acrystal heart hung from long chain Is also popular
 Now as to bracelets. Ihave seen none so charming as those just brought into fashion by the elegantes of New York B mere slight strand or plait of gold, fitting the wrist and hanging from the strand some lovely jewel, such us Q dla- mond and ruby heart, pearl or moon- stone pear shaped drop, a carved gem CT a big pink topaz, round as a pea Or, again, gold braid clasps the wrlsT with a diamond or turquoise at each end. The emperor of Russia not long since presented bangle of this deserlp- tion to Mrs. Melville, wife of the head of the secret police i'll London. The laoJ is an Irishwoman, and the czar very tactfully desired that the diamond ends to the bracelet should be in the design of a shamrock English Exchange.

Domestic Economy In Wong Seeks Tiny
 Chinatown Home.

TRo smallest residence ill San Fran. cisco is, If course, located in Chinatown. t is not, fowever, at the end of dark alloy in ada-Np cellar. h many of thesa are some vetE diminutiVe roosting places, but thoy are elegant homes and flats compared to Wong Seeks private residence on the corner Of Wayerly plaos and Clay street.
 Wong s home is about as big as hia skin--a trifle larger. Of course. to allow for his wooden shoes that go to bed with aim, but the difference is not material. Wong 8 home is box nailed to brick wall over the fruit stand where Wong makes living that would not keep a white baby fat
 Directly opp0site--tlat Is to say, OF the southeast corner of WaverIy place and Clay streot-there is another China. nan who has a residence similar to that of Wong. But his is larger than Wong's -whether owing to larger wooden shoes or to lusd What is not known. But it measures fully a foot moro in length and is an inch or so more in thickness.
 The dimensions of Wong private reaidenoe-he lives in 1t all by himself --are feet in length, 3 feet in width, with ceiling height of 3 feet clear ot the gas fixtures. For 8 pillow Wong has 90 cent oil stove. and in the morn. ing he cooks his breakfast on his pillow. Ho uses a rope ladder to get into hie home, and when be has tucked himself ill for the night ho pulls up his ladder and is safe
 Wong is saving money and will some day take the steamer for China and cart off 900 or 300 American gold dollars to tho slums of Hongkong, where he will live like q prince. San Francisco Gall

The nfinsature Crnze.

The miniature craze has taken the artistic woman by storm, for she has always loved portraits, and this year may go around like walking photo graph album. Her belt buckles, her brooch, the back of her chatelaine watch, even her glove buttons and lorgnon handle, may Do set each with minia- ture. 1t may be a likeness of her father, her mother. her husband or lover, or her dearest girl fyiend, or it may be merely the picture of some old beauty dead and gone As . rule, the girl who wears it doesn't much care So long as she is keeping up with the. fashionable procession she feels that she is perfectly all right and tho rest doesn t matter.

Caps Are Returning.

Elderly ladies are slowly and perhaps reluctantly, but surely, returning to the dainty little cap headdresses that were once so uniform and becoming. Many of the leading milliners have pretty lit tie cap headdresses, mostly in lace and mostly with shade of petunia, which ranges from peach to plum and is all ways so becoming against gray hair or any complexion. And little girls-not the babies, but the toddlers-are taking to close fitting lace caps. tied under their ohins.
