No description Of opera gems would
be complete without mention Of the
diamond necklace owned by the
James r. Keene family. This necklace
is composed of a single string OF
twenty-seven perfectly matched dia-
monds, which it took ten years to
collect. The necklace has been worn
by Mrs. Talbot j. Taylor, Mr.. Keene's
daughter, but she has retired from the
whirl since her husbands failure in
business. -
Out of town women who come to
New York to gather fresh social hon
ors are often jeweled as elaborately
as the New Workers. Mrs. Joseph z.
Widener of Philadelphia for instance.
wears a heavy diamond dog collar
and numerous ropes of diamonds. Her
friend, Mrs. William E. Carter, has
pearls in various forms. and Mrs. An
thony j. DreXel, another Philadel-
phia woman, had enough diamonds
and pearls to dazzle Berlin last sum-
mer. Mrs. DreXel often wears an all
round crown of diamonds.
Mrs. Potter Palmer of Chicago has
worn in New York her necklace of
rubies and diamonds and tiara, the
central stone of which is an eight
carat ruby. Mrs. George Crocker, who
died in Newport last August. was a
tranSplanted san franciscan and her
best known gem was a pear-shaped
pearl, with a Dinkish cast.
Two magnificent collections of gems
were lost to the Metropolitan Opera
house audiences when Mrs. John w.
Mackay and Mrs. Bradley Martin
went to London. Mrs. Martin owned
a set of pearls supposed to have been
worn by Marie AntOinette, and Mrs.
Martins diamonds were insured for
100000. Mrs. Mackay's favOrite gems
are sapphires and she has a necklace
of sapphires and diamonds and five
brooches, which she used TO wear
against a gown of white brocade ten
years ago. Last winter she displayed
a few of these gems ar the opera when
she was the guest of Mrs. James
Speyer.
The occasional opera-goer. however,
must not demand too much pulchri-
tude behind the parterre's jeweled
glory. The owners of the most superb
gems are not necessarily the most
beautiful women who frequent the
great palace of song. Yet in the mat
ter of personal attractions the dow
ayers of the Metropolitan compare
favorably with similar circles in Lon

1t is quite true that these troubles
may reach stage where an operation

Remedies pcservedly Popular.
An adroit but plausible scheme by
which It is hoped to prejudice the sale
of proprietary medicines is the propo-
sition to prohibit the sale Of any rem
edy which contains poison" unless
each package or bottle is expressly la
beled Poison" Such bills are also
well designed to impose upon men who
have no familiarity with the subject
matter. The pretense of protecting
the public health put forth in support
of such bills Is generally the nrerest
subterfuge; and whenever you hear a.
demand for a law of this kind It
originates with those who have
direct pecuniary interest to serve by
destroying the sale Of proprietary rem
edies.
Some of the best and most widely
used remedies in the world contain
some one ingredient which, II taken
in sufficient quantities. might be pol
sonous, and yet the preparation as a
whole is not poisonous at all, Opium,
for instance, is used in small quanti-
ties in many of the best cures for
coughs, collie, diarrhea etc, In tooth
ache drops and in almost all liniments.
To require such medicines to be false
ly labeled poison would be merely a
cunning device to alarm the public
and thus bring about the destruction
of the sale of those remedies, and in
directly to compel people to procure
