STRING OF FrHoUsAND PEARLS.

Across the water. according to the
London Graphic. the craze for old jew
elry and articles of furniture is, if pos
sible, on the increase wonderful
pearl necklace, forming part of a
brides "corbeille de marriage" and the
most admired OF the gifts, consisted Of
thousands of the smallest seed pearls,
forming an old-fashioned design of stars
or blossoms with festooned chains be-
tween, and a more elaborate floral
pendant. The difficulty of getting to-
gether so many pearls to match per-
tectly as 10 size and tint must have
been enormous, to say nothing of the
time and skill required to thread them
and make the intricate design. A we'll
known London jeweler has had by him
pearls for more than twenty years,
awaiting others which may be used
with them in the same necklace or I'll
ara. Nowadays one seldom sees the
tiny seed pearls much to the front;
neither are pearls set in gold, as was
the fashion long ago. One of the ex-
hibits now in the New Gallery is a
pearl necklace formerly the property of
Mary, Queen of Scots, lent by the Duke
of Norfolk, and this is in fanciful gold
setting, which it must be confessed
does not lend itself, nearly as we'll to
show the full beauty of the pearls as
the present style of stringing them
alone or setting them in silver.

Just how this approved combination
can be most effectively made is shown
in two pretty -dimity gowns. The one

black globule pattern and relieved by
a yoke and sleeves of white lawn en-
broldered in little black fern fronds.

white haircloth striped with bands of
black baby velvet ribbon is the fitting
crown for this crisp and spring like
gown.
The companion froek is a white grass
lawn set off with tucks, in the yoke
and at the knees of the skirt, and with
applications of black and white are
net valenciennes. A big bow of soft
green peau de sole RIBBON garnishes
the left shoulder ans gives just the
single note of color that all these con-
trast gowns for young girls should dis
play.
