"And I'll pay for the alligator IA
humble bee out OF my next allowances"
vowed the Titan blonde, and they fell
to choosing first one animal. then an
other, giving vent the while to more
EXPLANATIONS Of delight.
| They were not visiting the Central
Park Zoo-far from it-but were clus-
tered around a tray Of jewelry novel
ties in big downtown shop. Later
learned that the summer girl, when
correctly gotten up, will represent
first-class menagerie. Animals OF
every sort, country and distinction will
dangle from her chatelaine, her brace
let and her necklace. These animals
will vary in size from quarter OF an
inch to two and half inches. Some
are composed of silver, deposited on
china; others of silver plate, while not
a few are to be seen in gun metal ana
in gold. 1t is simply revival OF the
bangle craze experienced by our grand
mothers, and mothers, too, for that
matter, only they went in for golu
coins and now go in for cats and par
rots.
The bracelets are the self-same de-
signs, however-just simple little wires
of gold or silver, with loops to snap
| the bangels fast. Some much heavier
are to be had, but are less called lor'
Link necklaces and the ordinary
chatelaine are worn, and suspended
therefrom will be everything IN the
animal line, from polar bear to
bantam cock.
A girl first buys bracelet or neck
lace, and then proceeds to sort out
the kind of bird, beast or reptile VIII
which she wishes to ornament 1t.
To one neck chain saw was attacheu
lizard, tabby cat sitting up as
though asking for a dainty bit, a
turkeys foot, an elephant, very
frightened looking mouse, turtle anu
an alligator. These ranged in SIG
from an inch to an inch and quarter
the cat being the largest and the tur-
key foot the smallest.
Dangling from a silver bracelet was
a turtle, butterfly, rabbit, pumoie
bee. bantam cock, shrimp, IoA'
the man in the moon, bear, SCOTCH
collie and a pig. From another prace-
let was hung a bat, French poodle-
correctly trimmed-a bluetlsh, race
horse, rhinoceros, an army lleuten-'
ant and billy goat.
On the tray over the contents OF
which the quintet Of pretty girls mao
gushed sat tree toad, his mouth wloe
open, as though he were croaklng
happy lay; seagull, with delicate
wings outstretched, and such talka-
tive looking parrot! In truth, the
modelling of them all was admiraDie
Along with this feminine fancy fol-
mans animal friends come the dam
test ideals for bracelets emblematlc
of nursery rhymes. There is one
which tells of the house that JACK
built. Every figure mentioned in this
old Jingle is modelled in silver ana
suspended from the delicate wire toi
my lady's wrist. There is, first, the
house that Jack built, then the malt
the cat, the rat, the dog and the COW
the maiden all forlorn, the man al
tattered and torn, the priest all shaVen
and shorn, and the cock that croWeo
in the morn. This really is very
dainty trifle. For eli Diddle dc
Diddle" there's the cat and the fiddle
the COW jumping over the moon, the
little dog that laughed to see the Sport
and the dish that skipped with the
spoon. The latter two bracelets named
sell complete in silver for $3.50 each
while the prices for the individual AMI
mails and birds vary from 81 to so
according to size and metal used.
