Antique Bracelets.

Written for The Star.
In these days of display a wrist guiltless
of ornament is to confess oneself oblivious
of fashion. The bracelet fad. so long dor
mant, has come to life with more than old
time vigor, and it appears to have come to
stay.
The newest bracelets are, paradoxically,
exceedingly old. That is to say, the designs
most In favor are nearly all modelled after
the antique, some of them even after the
barbaric. There are for instance. brace
lets whose Egyptian prototypes were found
in the sarcophagi unearthed at Thebes, and
there are others of Roman pattern which
are perfect replicas of ornaments discovered
among the ruins of Pompeii. The orient.
too, has been ransacked for models. Most
of these are armlets rather than bracelets
heavy, bangle-shaped gewgaws that might
have come direct frem the brown arm OF
some Indian Maharani. Some of them are
beautified with precious and seml-precious
stones, while others are exquisite speci-
mems of filigree work and beaten metal,
which need no gems to enhance their
quaint beauty. The oriental jade bracelets.
mounted in gold silver filigree, at
once curious and costly.
The snake bracelet is one of the most pop
ular of the new models, and, incidentally,
1t is one of the most becoming So flexible
that it adapts itself to every movement OF
the ARM Ii is q veritable marvel of the
.
with gems, but oftener 1t displays simply
a pair of jeweled eyes, usually diamonds,
sapphres or emeralds. These bracelets are
especially useful for keeping in place the
elbow-length gloves
Some of the most beautiful bracelets are
those made OF carved rose coral, set In gold
filigree mountings. The best examples are
quite expensive, the workmanship being of
fine quality and executed entirely by hand.
The displays of canoes and intaglios sug-
gest a use for the semi-antque brooches
and eardrops worn by our grandmothers in
ante-bellum days. In Etruscan mountings
of dull gold, held together by slender golden
links, hese make charming bracelets for the
twentieth century belle.
Among fashionable women to whom
money is no object there is marked fancy
for bracelets of original and exclusive de-
sign. woman artist who has a genius
for working in metals has seized the OPP,
portunity thus afforded, and now gives her
time almost entirely to the making of odd
and beautiful bracelets, often using over
discarded pieces of jewelry brought to her
by her patrons.

TRAVELLING WITHOUT TIPS.
Result of an Experiment Made by q
German Hotel Keeper.

| From the London Daily Mall
| Herr Grauer, a wealthy German hotel
| proprietor, has carried out an experiment
with amusing results on the tipping system.
He had a theory that al hotel employees
should be paid a living wage and that tip
ping should be abolished in hotels.
So he started. accompanied by his wife
| anddaughter the Lausanne correspondent
| writes9. on a three weeks tour of the chief
German and Swiss hotels. determined not
to spend sou on tips. in order to test
his opinions.
One weeks experience of the conse-
quences was enough for his wife and
daughter who returned home disappointed
and indignant with Herr Grauer for the
discomfort and insults to which he had led
them.
known only to hotel employes-announced
the arrival of the Grauers-'the non-tip-

| The result was always the same-nobody
seemed to want them .
| At the stations they were told that the
| particular hotel they wished to stay at was
full; the hotel omnibus was merely. wait
ing for few old clients to depart" When
they insisted on entering the omnibus there
was nobody to carry their luggage and
railway porters had to be employed and
paid. Arriving at the hotel their heavy
luggage was unceremoniously thrown on
the ground and the boxes were damaged.
The maid took half an hour to answer
the bell, and the hot water" when it did
arrive, was cold. At table dhote the
Grauers were always served with the last
portion. The concierge did not know" OF
any interesting trips in the neighborhood,
and generally busy" when they de-
scended to the hall. Complaints to the
manager were futile.
Herr Grauer, who persevered with his
three weeks tour to the end. sums up his
experience as including the following:
Lost fhreQ trains. luggage unable to be
found.
Had four pairs of boots, two being new.

Two suits of clothes, one dress, three
blouses mysteriously contracted ink stains.

Character in Curtains.

A woman who has been hunting for the
characters of housemaids who had replied
to her advertisement for a servant says
she knew as soon as she saw the front OF
a house whether the girl would answer the
purposes or not.
There were houses with dirty curtains of
cheap lace, looped back with soiled and
tangled. strings; houses with filthy WIN
dow panes and no curtains at all; houses
where the curtains made feeble effort to
keep up tawdry style. and houses where
tie glass was clear and the curtains poor
hut spotless.
In all cases. the mistress AYERS, the
Inmates bore out the first impression.

Priests New Explosive.


For q Portuguese priest, Padre Manuel
Hymalaya, 10 claimed the credit Of having
invented new explosive. which Is destined
to supplant dynamite and other explosives
used for mining and other purposes
Hymalayite. as the explosive Is called. is
made chiefly from chlorate of potash, and
there Is no danger in its manufacture. As
1t creates smoke 1t is unlikely to be used
for war purposes.
Padre Hymalaya invented his explosive
while in North America, where he devoted
himself TO scientific study. The first ex-
periments were made at Frankfort, Phila-
delphia. with such startling results that
the Secretary for War would not give per-
mission for further trials unless Padre
Hymalaya would accept responsibility for
any damage done.
Padre Hymalaya refused handsome offers
for his explosive In America, returning to
Portugal. where he placed 1t at his coun-
try's service.

NEW YORK, June I2-After four

Yet, because Of her advanced age,
they hesitate to question her upon sew

today more sensational and surprising

Wounded in Mansion.
The detectives are convinced now that
Mrs. Kinnon must have been wounded
within the mansion and that she fell dy-
ing on the veranda, while fleeing from
her assassin They base this theory on
the statement of Mrs. Mary Shippo, one
OF the tenants in the basement OF the
Souse.
Mrs. Shippo sat at a window facing the
veranda steps. No one assembled those
steps, she says, prior to the time when
sns heard the fall Of the woman's body
on the dark piazza.
Three dogs in the basement, which be-
cause OF their barking are looked upon
as neighborhood nuisance, did not bark
until the finding of Mrs. Kinnan's body.
Mrs. Shippo, in her story TO the police,
declares that Mrs. StentOn and Mrs.
Kinnan not only Quarreled but actually
exchanged blows.
The detectives have found, near the
rear entrance to the mansion, a hatchet
stained, apparently with blood and with
q long hair stack TO its head Both Mrs.
Shippo and Mrs Stenton deny owner
