ENGLISH IDEALS IN JEWELS.
1t Is Decreed That Certain Kinds MAY
Be Worn in Daytime

1t IS only very few years ago that it
was considered bad taste for women in
English society to wear jewelry III the
day time. Now it is fashionable to wear
not only diamonds and pearls with after
noon costumes, but also a variety of
other gems. The craze for barbaric
JeWelry was perhaps accountable for this
departure in the first instance.
At any rate, at any society function
nowadays a full-dress costume is not
complete without diamond chain or
and trinkets of turquoise, sapphires, ru-
pes or emeralds in conjunction with the
dainty jeweled watch and popular paste
or TURQUOISE buttons, are always to be
seem Even for morning wear the sim
pie skirt has diamond or pearl links and
studs.
Jeweled hatpins are popular wedding
gifts. Jeweled waist belts and hanging
purses are also much in vogue, white the
long picture earrings (which have been in
1ashlon barely one season. are often seen
IN the daytime as we'll as at evening
parties
Turquoises cf every conceivable size
and lrregnlarity and pearls of all shapes
nave been the fashion for some time past
A new stone for day wear is the New
Zealand stone, which, as an adjunct to
the barbaric pearl so much in favor, is
charming wear.
Apart from it's lovely cooring-a deli
cate transparent shade of green-it is
supposed to be a lucky stone as well,
and this to the uperstitious-minded is a
welcome change from the also ";ucky''
but rather oyerdone turquoise.
Another new stone is of the loveiest
rose-pink tint, transparent, yet with the
cloudy softness of the opal. This stone.
which forms a becoming finish to an
afternoon costume, is worn as necklace.

A New Mode of Defense,

When the gendarmes descended on tie
village of Amanlis, to expel the Brothers
OF Ploermel from the school they con-
women and girls tried a new piece of
strategy. They lay down in the court OF
the school, SO that the soldiers would be
compelled to walk on their bodies in or

did not do it. but took time to lift the
ladies up and set them on their feet be-
fore they advanced on their prey. There
was a very lively fight while it lasted,
for the ladies did not rise willingly.

SHIRLEY STOCK COMPANY.

The first week of the engagement
of the Shirley company, which opens
at the Auditorium tonight. is to see
a great production of the Belasco and
Fyles melodrama, "The Girl l Left
Behind Me"
The play deals with the life of the
west, the picturesque existence of the
borderland. where revolvers pop and
savage Indians seek the determination
of the invading settlers. The opening
scene is a military post in the north
west. There are rumors of trouble
with the Indians and though the
taken seriously, a good watch is kept
until the time of the night Of the
Fourth of July celebration when. as
the soldiers are having a big dance
in quarters. the post is surrounded by
yelling savages.
The thrilling scenes that are then
enacted. the brave deed of a young
officer in riding through the ranks of
the enemy to get succor for the be-
leaguered garrison and the love
stories that progress with the piece
are all faithfully pictured. Real In
dams. real soldiers and real operators
for the telegraph scene will make this
one of the most realistic productions
ever seen on the stage. Special seem
cry has been painted for this pro-
duction and the company will doubt
less handle this play in manner
pleasing to all.
