LONDON, Aug. 9.
Since a woman correspondent in the
Times wrote at length of the orgy OF un-
dressing among women it has been
rather amusing to note the different
theories put forward by men and women
in newspapers to account for the feminine
fashion to wear fewer clothes Side by
side with comment for and against on the
craze for leaving off, have been remarks
on the daring character of modern modes
and the airy fashions that obtain for
women.
Stockings Of diaphanous silk, slashings
and fittings OF the skirt to display the leg
half way to the knee, showing every move
ment, and the low necked afternoon frock
with V shaped opening filled with filmy
lace have all been under discussion.
One correspondent suggested that
women were engaged on IAN extensive
advertising campaign conceived with
the object of reviving the faded interest
and passions OF the male" which pro-
voked retorts from both men and wom-
en-. Two women writer's have referred
respectively to "the return Of the prude''

believe that a value OF t2io.o0o.ooo IN

Pearl Buddhas

London Thinks japanese Ornaments
VIII Be the Rage for the
Autumn Season.
Especial Dispatch.)

LONDON. Aug. 9.
HE Pearl Buddha is likely TO be the
most fashionable charm this autumn.
He is to be seen at the Jewellers and
Silversmiths' Exhibition at the Agricul-
tural Hall, where only privileged few
may enter, and where the cases of precious
exhibits are guarded night and day.
The Buddha originated with the Japan
csc. Small iron plates engraved with his
likeness are thrust between the shell and
the oyster. Later, when the fish is taken
away, the plate is found overlaid with the
pearly substance; the plate is removed and
a backing of mother Of pearl and wax is
applied. Then the little placid looking fig
ure is ready to be mounted.
Pearls are in high favor just now and,
perfect specimens being hard to find, prices
are high a dealer pointed out a cluster OF
Panama pearls, rerlarking that there
would be little left out of ten thousand
dollar bill for the man who bought them. "
Close to them were arranged a collection

like Wellington boot, with pink and blue

The eccentricities OF this. however, were

pearl in the world" the weight of which is
100 grains. If 1t be true that the coloring
of pearls depends on the health Of the
oyster this particular freak must have
