fiance has a standing order at one of the
leading florists for all the Russian vio-
lets that the market affords These are
the only violets she elects to wear. for

pin upon her red gowns without making
a Earring contrast.
Literally she receives violets by the

pains 90 procure for her some lovely and
unusual brooches set with rough Rajah
rubies and cloudy Mogul emeralds that

beautiful fire opals from Mexico are said
