SEEN AT THE JEWELER’S.
Among the very latest things out are marriage medals. These are of gold and silver, bearing appropriate designs, and are intended to be given as a bridal gift. They can be worn as brooches or attached to the fashionable long chain. The fad for larger cameo brooches is on the increase and jewelers are .showing some very beautiful ones. Conspicuous among them are delicate cameo cut heads of George and Martha Washington and also of their home at Mount Vernon. Works of art are the powder boxes enameled in Louis XVI. style. On one lively little box is enameled a pastoral scene in the Watteau manner, against a creamy-white background. Others have a languishing swain depicted, adoring at the feet of his shepherdess. Gun metal set with the lambent opal, the milky pearl, great purple amethysts or the dainty bine turquoise is made up into all sorts of beautiful and useful trifles ( specially for the holidfty trade. Money purses, card cases, bonbon boxen, lorgnettes and match boxes are among the many articles.
