JEWELS FROM RUSSIA.
Half Of society went to Russia last
summer. and societys jewel box gained
thereby. Not only does one see
clasps. brooches and buttons OF Rus

umbrella handles rich with enameling
and heavy with uncut semi-precious

conventional of young women, since
il is meant not TO furnish ligths for
cigarettes. but to be laid on the Tess-

quite so artistic as this has been seen
for many a long day, unless, indeed,
it should be the funniest Of small be-
longings for the breakfast table, and
that is a honey pot. 1t is in the form
Of a large bee of ruby glass, and he is
mounted in silver; he stands on his
four legs. with his wings appraised, his
body holding the honey, and the whole
effect of the little bibelot is to suggest
that il is as sweet as sugar. | wonder
