over this possibility, and claim it is

is that five captains, six lieutenanls

Grandmother's JeveIrv.

NOW that slender chains with
number of pendants are in fashion, it
is well to rout out the jewelry that has
come down from ones grandmothers
and see if there are not some of the
oldfashioned pendant earrings that
can be adapted to modern uses with
out iniuring their original setting, says
a writer in Good Housekeeping. I
saw recently and antique chain of deli
cate workmanship with four pendants
of cut pink coral attached to it at
places an inch and a half apart. 1t
was unusual and most attractive. At
one time these pendants had hung from
the ears of an early nineteenth century
dame. In the same way four or five
of the small canoes taken from an old
set and fastened to one of the small
chains will appear strikingly beautiful
against the modern soft white waists.

In addition it has established a new
