made of differt heights and worn at the side, at the back and in front, ac cording to the ape of the girdle, the longest buckle being at the point where the girdle is elonated, though it seems to be a fancy of the moment to wear a long buckle at one side and a round one at lthe other. The pre- ferred forms are the modern style and that of Louis XVI, the former of gild- ing and old silver, the latter gilded alone. Barrettel buckles are inlaid with little brilliants, and have very pretty effect, delicately lighting up the soft silks and laAces. Some rare and lovely buckles e9ntain a miniature in a gold frame, always in the style of Louis XVI. When such as these cease to please the taste of the Wearer they will still be charming treasures for the jewel casket.
 l The era of the Icheap manufacture of watches has led Ito a reaction in fa- vor of luxurious fancies. A new madel for gentleman'$ watch is very flat made of translucent white enamel en- circled with a bland of ruby dust and having a monogram in tiny rubies. A hostess is sometimes at loss for a means of delicately expressing the pleasure given by the talent of some artistic guest. A very original and appropriate design for a brooch is the musical staff, with the G clef, and a bar of music in pearls and diamonds, a tasteful and delightful souvenir | Apropos of music, there are gold bands, designed to be worn upon the arm and give a place of safety to the rings which one desires to remove when playingf upon any musical instru ment. The bracelet opens easily, one slips all her rings over it, and they are secure from accident or loss. This is surely a useful invention in these days, when fashion decrees the wear ing of many and costly rings.
 A gold ribbon is very effective when worn as a girdle with chem isette of white silk and any skirt de- sired. Ribbons of this kind have mingled tones of gold and silver in imitation of the damaskeen work of the Renaissance, and are particularly suited to the jeweled buckles of the
 A cross shaped gold handle, decor ated with gems, is a design very gen. erally adopted for parasols. It is cas- fly held upon the arm and is safe- guard against leaving the article in a shop or elsewhere.
 An original breacelet consists of a sea serpent, the head and fins of mas sive gold, the scales of gold and sil- cious stone, emerald, opal, sapphire, amethyst, sardoynx, etc. This bracelet coils around the arm from the shoul- der to the elbow and with the pres- ent decollete styles and very small shoulder straps, after the fashion of Greece and the Empire, has an ex- tremely fascinating effect.
 | Necklaces are growing in favor every day. Gold chains are set with all kinds of gems. A fancful but ele- gant necklace is of little balls of rose agate, and between each five balls a large pearl separates little plaques of white enamel, artistically chased A novelty which is meeting with great popularity is heavy chain, either twisted or in rings, falling over the bosom. It has no pendant and is destined to replace the ropes of beads seen this summer.
 The new style pendants, so much in favor, are decorated with delicate enamel, fiuvial pearls. amethysts, to- pages or paste tlirquises. These stones have their own beauty, which the enamel enhances wonderfully. The fuvial pearl is the pearl of the mus sel or clam; it is unbreakable and not lacking in Orient. Turquoises paste is made of broken fragments worked to- gether again.
