Jewels are as plentiful as blackberries, says an English writer, but an uncommon setting is even now a rarity. Lady Augusta Boyle, now Lady Augusta Inskip, had a notable bracelet presented by her brothers and sisters at the time of her first marriage. It took the form of a Maltese cross set with largo single diamonds alternated with gems which represented the names of the givers. A pearl stood for Patrick, the present Lord Glasgow, an emerald for Edward, the late Mr. Edward Boyle, an amethyst for Alice, now Lady Alice Fergusson, a diamond for Dorothy, now Lady Cranbrook, and a jacinth for the late Mr. James Boyle, who was killed in action in 1914. Jade was for John, another brother, and an aquamarine denoted Alan, the youngest of'the seven brothers and sisters who then formed the home circle.
