Pearls Surely Lucky

TSa'' 10 ONiS'J GSSNJ
Such luck as pearls command has
been experienced in its utmost degree
by the wife of one of the millonaires
of Fifth avenue. Again and again she
has lost in sections beautiful neck
lace valued at $4,000, with which, i'm
addition to the pearls intrinsic worth,
are connected associations that make
them doubly valuable. Each time she
has recovered the necklace in its en-
tirety and it has been preserved In
spite of many mshaps. The other day,
Immediately on entering the Office of a
trust company, she felt the necklace
slip from her throat aud saw the pearls
scattered on the floor. business, al
though ii was the rush hour, was sus-
pended for the moment the cOmpany's
employees aiding her to find the pearls.
After a brief search all save one We're

loss of that one particularly, as il was
the finest of the string, it's value be-

wanted reward for its return she
advertised it's loss. Judge of her aston

Novel CotilIon Favors

Cotillon favors continue to be as
costly as the hostess can afford, ana
very well worth having arc the toys
society plays with at the debutanle
dances this season. At a recent aitalr
of this sort combination fans and opera
glasses were among the novel offerings.
These devices are so arranged tnat
each part serves as Il handle for the
other. When the glasses are IN use
the fam takes the place of lorgnette
handle, and when the fan is opened
the glasses make a substantial holder:
SO attractive were they that many OF
them were "lost" that evening. one
young woman whose fan and glasses
disappeared mysteriously remarked
that it might come that cotillon detec-
tiVes would be necessary I'm society.
