silver and gold, and Of course vary in
price according to material, weight and
design. Some may be bought for as little
as So. Some are studded with precious
and semi-precious stones. but not many,
it being regarded as more fashionable to
have a plain case. Even chasing is re-
garded as more or less undesirable. The
proper thing is the plain case decorated
only with ones initials or name. These
cases are usually given to men by men,
bers of the gentler sex, and the very
latest thing is for the owner to have his
case inscribed with his name in the hand
writing of the person giving it to him.
This does not require knowledge OF
carving by the donor. All she has to do
Is write out the name on piece of pa
per. The man selling the case will attend
to the rest.
These metal cases, for the present at
least, are rapidly taking the place of the
older leather ones They are not carried
in the inside coat pocket, as were the old,
but are carried in the breast pocket of the
vest, and they are curved in shape 50 as
to follow the general outline Of the chest,
thereby preventing any bulging of the
pocket.
Novelties in scarf pins are continu-

latest thing is the gold circle pin. 1t

support. This is more or less common

is to buy piece of rough coral and have

One Washington man who Is the owner
Of an exceedingly valuable English bull
dog recently had a miniature reproduc-
tion Of his dogs head carved in coral
and made into scarf pin. There are
scarf pins for all sorts of occasions For
the bowling enthusiast there is a minia-
ture tenpin Of gold or silver. For the
horse worshiper there are miniature
whips, horseshoes, horses heads and
various other pins, all suggestive of the
thoroughbred. In fact, there are novelty

Plain silver or gold tie clasps. however.

have been designed what might be termed
novel novelties. Tie clasps are made
