the most exquisite designs and orna-
! ments
Then in gold alone of the red gold
| shade, some beautiful flower designs
are developed for buckles, brooches and
| pendants; while another novelty is the
curious greenish gold, which makes
| most recherche chains, buckles brooch
es, watch cases and even rings. This
| has the most delicate enameling and
| jeweling to accentuate the design,
which is most popularity of the Egypt
| ian or the Renaissance order. The long
| muff or iOrgnette chains of this green
| gold are divided at intervals by small
| medallons of unique shapes, .enameled
| with artistic shades of pale fraise pink
and of green toning with the shade of
the gold: whilst the pendant to the
chain will also be uniquely designed
with, perhaps. strange Egyptian fe-
male head, enameled almost in flesh
tints, and showing diamond jeweling
in the framework of the design, and
black or white pearls hanging from
tiny chains, if entirely suitable to the
general scheme of the ornament For
these green-gold enameled ornaments
are nothing if not artistic, and the most
delicate taste is displayed in the design,
the blendings of the enamels, and the
use of the gems that serve to elaborate
their scheme. All stones used in this
novel jewelry are of the highest grade
of perfection, and applied with artistic
restraint, so it is not surprising that
it is one of the most expensive class
of ornaments now to be purchased IN
Paris
In the matter of inexpensive bijou-
terie, there is always large choice In
Paris, and amongst those, again, the
Egyptian style is very prominent. Most
handsome chatelaines for example, are
formed of several scarabaeus beetles in
turquoise with outspread wings of OK
idized silver, connected by small chains,
and dominated by an elaborate orna-
ment of Egyptian design that might
have been copied from the real Egypt
ian ornaments to be seen in the salons
of the Louvre. Scarabaeus beetles also
form heavy belt clasps and quaint lit
tie brooches. For preference the wings
are outspread and formed of oxidiZed
silver, while the bodies are accurately
copied in pseudo-turquoise. Rings of
real turquoise, shaped in rough me-
dallion and engraved with gilded Egyp-
tian characters, are also novel orna-
ments.
Some of the prettiest of the new cein-
lures shown in Paris are of enameled
corntiowers, au naturel. connected by
chains and clasped by group of the
flowers: tinsel betting in the coloring
and design of peacock feathers, with
handsome clasp enameled to represent
peacock feather with a brilliant eye;
thick serpent in untarnishable gilt,
with head at each end, set with jew
els, which fold over each other and
simulate a clasp in the front of the
waist. Necklets in similar design,
only of real gold and gems, are also
pretty, because original
Whatever changes the future may
bring in the fashions, we are pretty
sure to remain faithful to boas, and the
most charming ones are preparing not
to succeed feathers and furs, but to be
worn with them. They are larger and
more important and have long ends,
the great novelty in them being the
chenille trimming. A very pretty large
ruffie of chiffon had not only the edges
tipped with chenille, but long netted
ends of coarse black chenille. Soft
silk is also being prepared for ruffs,
edged with narrow white semi-circles
of fur or marabout; and some exceed
ingly pretty marabout boas in gray and
