BRACELET COCKTAIL
IS THE VERY LATEST
FOR SOCIETY WOMEN
Manhattans and Martins Clev.
erly Tucked in Gold Bands
--No Cherries or Olives.

New York, Feb. 27.-The cocktail
bracelet is the latest for women.
There are fashionable women in this
city who wear circlets on their wrists
Which sometimes contain a Martini dry
or a Manhattan.
The bracelets have one drawback, 1T
is said, and that is they will not accom-
nodate the cherry that goes With the
fairy cocktail.
The other night an attorney observed
a woman of fashion place Der lips to
her bracelet. He though, she was pay
ing. tribute to her own loveliness. but
learned later that she was only refresh
ing her inner self with a mixture of
eordials.
The nip contained in a bracelet cock
tail is 50 small that it cannot be- called
a drink, but a cocktail it is. neverthe-
less. OF course. the bracelet is hollow.
If large enough it holds three thimble-
fuls of ready made cocktail, and pres
sure on an almost invisible spring per-
mits the fluid to 1ricille through a tiny
hole in the gold shell, which is almost
TOO small to be seen.
A broadway goldsmith sells numbers
of the bracelets every week, and as
most of the purchasers prefer secrecy
in connection with the transaction they
pay a pretty penny for the obviously
useful trinkets.
