PEARLS OF GREAT pnIcE.
Diamonds Lose Old Time Favor In
London Society.

Diamonds Lose Old Time Favor IN
London Society.
The coronation year has not result
ed In the great rush for diamonds
that wa expected and the quieter
looking but more expensive pearl has
gained an easy lead" The manager
OF Tinany's told a London Express
representative recently that the sales
Of diamonds during the past year had
not been very much above the normal,
but the amount OF alteration and re-
pair work. resettins Of stones, etc,
had been extraordinarily great, and
the expert workmen had been Kept
very busy The chief work had been
in connection with the repair OF fam
lily Jewels. while large numbers OF
Americans staying In England for the
coronation had their diamonds reset
and polished by English workmen.
The American grande dame was al
ways n large buyer Of diamonds, and
was particularly anxious to have them
set IN the English style. The reason
for the small Increase In the sale OF
diamonds was the great popularity OF
the pearl. which had become exceed
ingly fashionable OF late months, In
spite OF It's expensiveness.
The usual price Of pearl neck
lace ranged from 100000 to 100000.
and really fine necklace was not to
be had for less than e75.0O0 Where
n society woman could make a good
show In diamonds for $4,000. she
could do very little for the same
amount in pearls.
Simplicity was the keynote OF the
fashion In diamonds and clusters OF
large stones, made into brooches and
pendants and other articles OF adorn-
ment, were far more popular and Gre
ated a better effect than large coll
lection OF small diamonds set thick
~ together. The average price for
diamond brooch with fine large
stones was e2.OOO. and this article
found n rapid sale.

fond mamma occasionally evolves
some little touch that is as pleasing
as II is becoming. one thought as
much upon seeing a rosy little girl in
sheerest white. the armholes OF her
frock being outlined with two or
threeinch pink ribbon.
A few stitches had been taken to
prevent the ribbon from becoming
mere strings These ribbons were tied
on the tops OF the arms. the bows be-
ing neither small nor very large. The
same.sized bow Of the very same rib
bon was tied around the top hair in
the very sensible way which now
keeps the unmanageable tresses out
Of the little ones eyes.
No doubt one reason for the admir-
able effect gained In this instance
was the skill with which the ribbon
had been chosen. II was just the
dellcatcly rosy shade that brought the
hidden roses In the little maids
