The movement of the souvenir is the
very finest to be procured in the Unit

express American patriotism was the
order and it was to be the best in the
market. These requirements are full

jeweled with twenty-five ruby and dia-

sition. While it is guaranteed to vary
not more than half minute month.
it may run even closer.
The fob, most elaborate in design
and perfectly executed by Carter,
Hastings & Howe. of New York City,
completes the Gift of the children.
This part of the souvenir is especially
ornate. Here, too, the four stars Of
the admiral are reproduced, this time
in the bright gold which is encircecl
in the ornamental wreath of black
gun metal. In the center of each star
is set a diamond of the clearest lus-

anchor in the black metal. fanlled by
two dolphins in bright gold with eme-
