There Is something peculiarly sad when a woman consents to dispose Of even a single jewel that Is dear to her by reason of association. Curio shops in the far south sometimes contain the rarest jewels of the women of the south, and they bring fabulous prices The col lection at the Womans exchange Is small, but there are some beautiful old things An old-fashioned brooch surmounted with two rows of exquisite pearls and made to hold q small picture Is among the quaint things, and Is priced at $50. Some pink cameos are exceedingly rare, and they range in price from $15 to $25. A brooch more modern in design is set with diamonds and saphires of peculiar clear ness and brilliancy, the saphres rarely beautiful. It is priced at $250.
