Golf JeWeIry.

Golf has invaded the realm Of jewell
ry. Some OF the presents that would
be most acceptable to men and women
who play golf have designs of golf
clubs upon them. Gold and silver
clubs are used as stick-pins. miniature
bundles of clubs crossed somewhat af-
ter the fashion of rifles on a soldiers
cap as brooches. and a small putter
clasp pin is just the thing for the white
puff tie. Match safes, cigarette cases,
link cuff buttons, tankards and loving
cups, silver-backed brushes and silver
topped tobacco Jars. all with golf de-
signs upon them in relief, are coming
more and more to be part OF the gentle
mems outfit For the women there are
dainty silver score-card frames, chain
belts, purses. small cups. silk belts with
silver buckles Ornamented with golflng
paraphernalia. As prizes In local and
inter-club matches these convenient
articles are finding much favor.
