New York, Dec. 21.-The jewels this
winter at the Metropolitan opera
House in New York easily outnumber
and outglitter any collection ever seen
* one time or place. On those nights
when a particularly popular cast is
singing there is not a single box in
either tier that does not boast one, two
and in some instances three jeweled
crowns apiece.
In other days Mrs. William Astor and
Mrs. Cornelius Vanderbilt at different
points in the partierre circle used cas-
lily, by their diamonds, to dominate the
situation, and the first woman who
wore a complete crown of white stones
and outdid them all was Mrs. George
Gould. Her crown was variously esti-
mated at 1000 and 100000, and gave
the country cousin in the orchestra
something to wonder over between the
acts, until Mrs. Oliver Belmont, with
her pearl headpiece crested with ru-
bies, and Mrs. Yerkes with a single
hair ornament of turquoises and dia-
monds, made anything like comparisons
quite odious.
1t is the women who subscribe to the
orchestra chairs who know who makes
the finest Jewel display every season,
and from this point of vantage they
sweep the boxes with powerful glasses
and point out the finest consultations
in the horseshoe. One tried and true
opera-goer the other night fell to talk
ing Of the fine gems that are conspic-
uous this season.
WHO OWNS THE GREAT JEWELS.
There isn't a coronet here yet that
for splendor can touch Mrs. George

OF these ornaments. Here in New
York we have fallen into the English
idea OF using jewels by the shovelful.
and II l know anything about the
value of such things l should estimate
the aggregate of gems in the boxes

ltan as worth Wei over $4,000, 0OO
THE FEAR OF ROBBERY.
Magnificent as it all seems. 7 can
assure you that uneasy lies the head
that wears a tiara. The New York
policeman and the opera house man
agement do all their protective duty by
the women, but there is ever an ele-
ment of danger in carrying a compact
fortune about your head and shoulders.
and the owners Of those bright treas
ures know it,
If two or three small Jewel thefts
were to occur now you would see that
galaxy of stones melt out of sight like
ralndropS in the sunlight, and since the
great Burden robbery there are few
enough women who think of keeping
any but a few rings and pins in their
houses with them. After the Duchesse
dc Lorge in Paris last winter was re-
leVed courteously of her ornaments by
her coachmen While driving home along
through deserted street at midnight,
not only do many discreet New York
ers hire none save those coachmen,
footmen and buffers who viii give
bonds as to their honesty, but on leav-
ing the opera house they render up
their sunbursts and necklaces to dis
creet-looking person in a high hat and
smart evening coat, who carries a
small black case. He is not a detec-
tive, as you may think, but a tried and
true safe deposit man The black case
is chained to his wrist, and he collects
