FORTUNES IN PRucIous GEMS.
Newest JeweIs-What They Cost and
How They Are Worn.

From the London Mail.
The desire for jewels and the ex-
travagantly splendid displays now
made by women who delight in such
manifestations of wealth are two OF
the main characteristics Of the power
dress exercises over women in this
luxurious age.
A million sovereigns sounds like an
incredibly huge sum of money to sink
I'm precious stones, but the gem caskets
of some of our great ladies represent
that value very closely, and It rs ac-
tually touched in a few notable in
stances.
Quite moderately wealthy young mar
ried women do not consider their cata-
logue of Jewels complete without two
or three tiaras, string Of pearls cap
able of being measured by the yard,
a stomacher brilliantly ablaze with
gems a dog collar and numerous neck
let's rings of various cOlors to match
various gems, to say nothing Of aigret-
ties of diamonds bracelets, brooches
and little ornaments by the hundred.
One single necklet of pearls-Only n
string that closely clasps the throat
has been known to cost 100000; a
tiara swallows up any sum up to e25,-
900, and even more when IL contains
practically priceless stones; ones
brooch may easily represent $500.
while a stomacher can scarcely cost
less. Hence to be bedizened in gems
that represent 100000 is not a difficult
task for the woman who likes a bar
barrie display and can afford to in
dulge her whim.
The extravaganza this craving for
gems leads to Is excused by some peo-
pie on the score that precious stones
are a sound investment, while the deal
RS in imitation gems truthfully aver
that IL fosters their trade. A very
quaint fashion from old times is the
agrafe of brllliants, an ornament re-
sembing bow and bands Of dia-
monds, duplicated many times so as
to trim a dress from the decolletage
to the hem Of the skirt. The orna-
ments graduate In size, so that at the
foot OF the dress they are much larger
than they are at the waist. thereby pro-
ducing a very elegant effect. These
necessarily are rarely TO be seen In
real stones. but sets OF them are be-
ing sought In old French paste. which
produces as brilliant an effect as real
