FOur-Leaved Clovers Will Adorn the
Little Holiday Gifts.


The latest fad in iewery is the four
leaved clover. This talisman of good luck
encased between layers of glass and bound
about by circlets of geld and silver, will be
4 good favorite holiday present this year.
The leaves are set in lorgnettes, watch
chains, brooches, bonponn:eres, jewel boxes
and watch charms. Before the winter is
over you may see the quadruple leaf worn
as much as secret society badges. At first

everything into which it was possible TO fit
clover leaf. The clover leafs are care
fully pressed. They are gathered mostly
from farms over in New Jersey. But the
most priced trinkets encase a leaf which
has been carefully put in some favorite
book last summer. You may remember a
certain volume of Tennyson shady nook

which he helped you find Then you bring
your own clover leaves to the jeweler tc

The process Of preparing the leaves Is
Yer! s.sEple. They must first be carefully
pressed Generally the ieweler puts a little

You can thus see the four-leaved clover
and Know that it is protected from rough
usage. The leaf is thus protected from
fading for months, at least.
There Is further development of this
cloVer lad, which requires that a red lady-
bug be imbedded in the crys tai in COMPANY
with the clover leaf. The bug is represent
ed by cutting upon the inner side Of the
glass. The space is then filled in with red
enamel The contrast of the red of the
wings of the supposed hug with the green

that his banker did the~best for his client.

the best means to make them forget while
in the theater the cares and annoyances of
everyday life. His Half a King" which
he will present at the Grand Opera House
next week, is 4 delightful absurdity, AFFORD
ing excellent opportunity for the display
of his talents as comedian and for a good
spectacular production. Mr.. Wilson has

that his clientele, which is very large
