has been the case OF late years. A
small heart shaped watch, completely
studded with tiny diamonds and the
bar pin ornamented with the same
stones, Is exquisitely pretty, and there
are numberless flower designs to be had
that are all exceptionally attractive. A
pansy set with a large amethyst formed
q case for one timepiece, and the same
stone made a charming single violet.
Enamel instead of precious or semi
precious stones is also used extensively
In these novel designs OF watches.
Watches in L~orunettes.
OF essentially useful novelties there
are the lorgnettes with q minute watch
at the end OF the handle. In gold set
with diamonds and emeralds this com-
bination ~lorgnette and timepiece was
really beautiful, besides being invalu-
able with an opera or theater gown
with which n ordinary watch or
lorgnette would be unsuitable.
ParasoIs for the South and umbrellas
now show handles in which a small golc
or silver watch Is placed, this being
most ~serviceable for rainy weather,
when to open ones Jacket to get at tho
watch in the belt is q decided nuisance.
The same idea is noticeable in the new
est canes, and it now remains to be
seen whether or not the masculine mind
will discern how very useful such O
cane would be on a afternoon call OF
when walking with a gay companion,
for instance, and whether they will take
advantage OF all that X could do for
them and the many times that 1t would
help them out.
A Watch Instead Of a Chain.
Bracelet watches ore, OF course, not

matter to play ~carelessly with the frilI

whether one has not paid a sufficiently
long call, or whether, when having a
particularly enjoyable time. to be able
to find out the time without giving any
offense.
Newest of all, however. are the tiny
watches set in seal rings. These are
especially smart for men. al even the

"DONT'S" FOR

Don't use a narrow strip OF carpcting

custom that must have originated in
the mind of some person with more

runners. And don't use any Of he

exposed strip OF glass or wood; tacks
are better.

while light green fabrics are most in

frames, light blues can be used with
equally felicitous results. 1t Is only
a matter of knowing how.
