Sentiment Is still ardently cherished in
New York society that votes itself aristo-
cratic. Investigate for instance the jew
ell boxes of many fine ladies', and you viii
discover that their favorite ornaments
have deeper Significance than the desire
for decoration. To substantate this it is
easy to cite the honeymoon chains, the
crystal lockets and the cameo brooches
that appear so popular. A honeymoon
chain is sure TO adorn the neck OF every
newly married woman especially when
she comes back from her bridal trip. Mrs.
George Vanderbilt, Mrs. Clarence Mackay
and Mrs. John Livermore. all have them,
abe links of gold and the stones three,
seven, nine, fifteen, nineteen or twenty
one in number and widely varied.
Mrs. George Vanderbilt had the first
chain, and the lovely stones in It are some
of them, very precious and beautiful,
some mere brown pebbles. They all com
Enemorate a day of special happiness in
her honeymoon travels, and her husband
gave her every stone. There was a day
in Vienna that is marked by rich emer-
aid there was one on the shores of an
italian lake registered by a tiny round
ehsll-white pebble and one at Capri re-
called by a ball of the heavenliest tur-
QuoLse When Mrs Vanderbilt came
home with her chain all the doting young
husbands adopted the pretty Idea and
some Of the chains are of gold punctuated
with beautiful polished bits of black or
pink marble granite, crystal, agate,
moonstones and river pearls reaped from
o bridal tour through our own states.
Memorial Jewelry.
Queen Victoria established the precedent
FOR the cameo bracelets and brooches, for
Al IA the good widows custom TO have the
head of every one of her beloved children
and grandchildren delicately carved and
case death or wide seas should part her
from them she can wear and contemplate
their carved likeness. Now, when tash-
ionable woman weds Ii is her hlial duty

work of art as a wearable ornament, anu
present the same to the bereaved mother
Mrs. Oliver Belmont is frequently seen
wearing a lovely cameo of her daughter
the Duchess. Mrs. Letter owns bracelet

a charming cameo of the Countess Castel-
lane. ~
Most lovely and tender, though IS the
sentiment that cliugs about the crystai
hearts that are nowadays the substitutes
for the dear, ugly old style halr brooches.
Great ladies in Paris first wore crystal
hearts circled with peals of diamonds
The hearts are cut in facets of the clear
ost crystal and in their transparent depths
a lock of hair from the head of dead
loved one is sealed. No one knows just
how the hair is placed In the solid lump
of crystal save the French maker, ana
an enormously wealthy American woman
who lost her son on the hunting neld had
the first locket in New York; since then
the French maker has reaped a harvest
of American dollars. There is no danger
of the locket reliquary becoming vulgar
Ized, for it costs $500 TO have one of these
small crystal cases made for hair without
Including any jeweled setting.
Acquiring Animal Magnetism.
A famous foreigner who visited New
York last year lauded the American wo-
men to the skies. He thought them the
wittiest most accomplished, most beau
tiful and admirably dressed, vivacious
creatures, but he found them hard. THEY
are dazzling, but they are too impasslve'
too self-centered, too bent on cultivating
their minds at the expense of their hearts;
Sn short, they have no animal magnetism
said this observer Their tears do not
come easily their bushes are rare, their
voices are cold and clear and If you viii
allow me-" he went on, Il will say /
met only a few ladies in New York soci-
ETY. who possess animal magnetism in
the highest degree. Three of them were
from the South. They were Mrs. Victor
II Newcomb, Mrs. Dana Gibson and Mrs.
Worthington Whitehouse. Two, believe,
are New Workers, Mrs. Wimerdiug and
Mrs. Carley Havemeyer, and Lady Cur
zon, a Western woman, has this divine ell
ement most wonderfully developed"
What this foreign novelist said has evil
IDENTIFY struck deep into the minds of the
New York women, for every maid and
matron you meet carries a volume of
SALISBURY under her arm, quotes liber-
concentration, denberauon and reciprocal
influence, the three cardinal rules of af-
hnity All of this goes to prove that our
women have come to the conclusion that
Il Is better 10 have ore ounce of animal
magnetism than an almost unlimited sup
ply of gowns from Paris. the readiest
tongue in town or the smartest figure and
the fairest face to be seen on Fifth ave
nue.
Mrs. Frederick Person heads the largest
class of these students of SALISBURY and
IL animal magnetism is to be cultivated
these determined ladies are sure to sue
coed. Their serious endeavor is TO ac-
Quire an art of fascination that is by no
means dependent on material aids. When
you meet a student of SALISBURY you can
mark her from afar by her deliberate gait.
by her rather slow low words, the earnest
fattering attention she gives your every
remark, by her almost studiOus disregard
of her elegant costume by her freQuen,
beaming shines and rare laughter, by tht
way her eyes brim with tears when you
tell of your misfortuncs, the radiant joy
