carry leather bags the streets Be TINS true
not. certainly some Of the smartess styles ia
leather bags originate either In London OF Ne"
York.
When the cost Of gold bag is beyond tho
reach, silver is adopted. One OF the latest nov
elites in the silver mesh bag is what Is known
as the silver seal finish. This has an indefin-
able brownish tinge given to the silver that
somewhat resembles the antique silver In erect
yet is different from that. Tho silver seal fnish
is shown not only in mesh bags, but In nat
pins, necklaces and brooches. These are orten
ornamented with big faceted Jet stones. The
designs of the necklaces. with their long pendant
ornaments. are unusual and attractive. and II is
said that they promise to be the fad OF the sea-
son here.

NEW IDEAS I'm JEWELRY
The Tendency Is ToScard More
artistic Settings.

The new idea in diamond jewelry is the fine
network OF platinum set with tiny brilliants.
Thus one perceives at a glance that the tendency
is toward more artistic effects In the setting of
precious stones rather than in the value of the
stones themselves. In other words. women are
getting away from the long dominating idea
that diamonds were TO be bought an invest
ment on which they could realize hard. cold
cash whenever they felt the pinch of poverty or
that everlasting desire for something different,
which is said by many men to be leading fem
inino characteristic.
To be sure the new diamond jewelry can be re-
set, as they are veritabe diamonds but great
deal of the money expended upon this new net
work jewelry is spent for the cost of artistic
labor which is a tedious and difficult job, and
which only the most clever workers can ac-
complish satisfactorily.
A short necklace of this network is scarce half
an inch wide. and is composed of oblong pieces
about three-quarters of an inch in length OF
this pattern there were only four made, because
the settlers declined to make any more ac-
count OF the eye strain they subjected to
in the manipulation of the delicate tracery. SO
the fair owners have the satisfaction of know
ing that, while they paid $1,000 for each neck
lace, they such will not become common
in the years to come. and for this reason are
likely to increase In value artistic specimens.
Round, placque-like medallions made of this
network are the latest fad for the pendant.
These are about the size of a 50-cent piece and
while many of them are entirely composed of
diamonds in the platinum settings, others have
one or two colored stones embedded in the de-
sign to offset the brilliancy OF the small dia-
monds.
Women who cannot afford entire necklaces
of this pliable network find good substitute

ARTIFICIAL FLOWERS FOR coRsAeE.

one of the pretty and attractive fads in PARIS

of artificial flowers for corsage decorations This
