Many New Lockets.
Locking out today mainly for the fell
low who wants something really nice for
his best girl, and is willing 10 spend =
little money, and caring also for the
shopping miss with a goOdIy allowance.
Ia advise you TO hunt up those really
new. nobby, and brilliant effects In
open-work diamond lockets, with differ
ent cOlOred disks. The background of
coior may be changed 10 harmonize
with any gown.
There also may be obtained the same
effect IN what is called a revolving dis
mond stick pin, the center Of the pin.
by patent arrangement, revolving. ff
desired ana showing a center color 10
match any tie, the diamond edges. OF
course remaining stationary
These are handsome and rather cost
" glIts. but there are q lot of YOU lust
looking Tor something Of this kind
This season there is also being shown
a representative nne OF Old-styl6 Eng
1ish watches made very. very thin
with raised figures and square-cut
edges.
SILK Mesh Handbags.
For the opposite sex quite a neat line
OF silken mesh handbags are being
shown, the tiniest kind Of a watch
being imbedded in the silver mounting.
Altogether, the effect IS neat, and the
gift il admittedly appropriate

TACT one style Is a square box, fin
ished IN silver, which Is a duplicate of
the original cigarette pastebOard box.
Eitn its square corners. These are not
expensive, either, the price being not
over SO
Another innovation IN cigarette cases
IS a double-deczed one, made 10 III the
vest pocket and maae in both geld and |
silver.

Just to taper OF with today, I'll re- /
mark that opais. with their coIors high /
ly emphasized, called black opaIs, in /
fact, are going 10 be all the rage this /
season. These are for the shopper with /
a weIl-dled purse, and they are well ]
worth an examination at your jewelers. I
Ia the meantime, until / gather to-
gether a few more hints for tomorrow.
don't forget that the merchants are 1
preparing 10 take care Of the early !
shopper and that everybody seems in /
clined 10 get IL over with before the I
usual holiday crush.
A WISE SHOPPER
