WEIRD JEWELS.
Owls Heads, Snakes and GobIin-L Like
Fish Among Designs.

Jewelry of the most original kind is oc-
cupying the attention of Paris: queer
shaped rings and brooches are being
eagerly sought after, and the Old-fash-
toned gold fiiigree work promises to be
IN great favor. Among the most unique
designs is plaque de cou shaped to the
neck about four inches long and one and
half wide 1t is of gold filigree work,
rather open-spGced, the interstices being
hlled in with strange translucid enamel
exactly of the shade of green sea water.
lncrusted upon this are two weird goblin
like tsh-One dark green, the other pale
Vlolet-thelr scales outlined in clOiSonne
gold, the eyes and the head being stud
ded with irregular shaped pieces of pearls,
opals and chrysoprases. There are sew
eral hair combs of wonderful design al
so. One is formed of two dull silver
storks craning their neck upward
around large slab of mother-o pearl
taken from the inner part of an oyster
shell, and called a SCULPTURE de perie. in
which three incipient pearls are seen to
be forming. The teeth of the comb are
of carved ivory. Another ivory comb
has hydra rising angrily in a golden
spray of seven snakes heads.
There are also strange and wonderful
rings OF SulDhur-unted silver, wrought in
designs Of owls heads, of angels with
folded or outstretched wings, or of huge,

brooches, too, and buttons in sets of

which lines of silver seaweed, swaying in

precious pearl. a brooch representing

representing a hippocampus in strange
gilded silver, with chrysoprase eyes.
There is a thistle hatpin with a huge
pearl forming the heart in the center of
some violet enamel with pale gold VEIN

famingoes with twisted legs and wings
tinted in all tones of silver and gold. and

A ragged beggaI summing;
Around it still the sumachS grow,
And blackberry vines are running.

The jack-knife's carved initial;
The charcoal frescoes on its wall;

Lit up It's western window panes,
And low caves icy fretting.
It touched the tangled golden curls
And brown eyes full OF grieving
OF one who still her steps DELAYED
When all tEe school were leaving.
For near her stood the little boy
Her childish favor singled:
His cap pulled low upon face
Where pride and shame were mingled.
Pushing with restless feet the snow
TO right and left. he fingered
AS restlessiy her tiny hands
The blue-checked apron fingered.

The soft hands light carossing.

How few who pass above him
