Never in the memory of man Ameri can man, that is were the shops so crammed-with rare, beautiful and .costly objects; and they were, likewise, just as crammed with people anxious, even eager, to buy them. "Where does all the money come from?" is a query often heard, though not always answered. Take the jewel shops, for instance; a while ago you would find a few extrava gant bita of jewels in each place. Now you find cases-and cases-full of precious stones set in various exquisite designs. One shop alone that I know carries over a thousand jeweled muff chains, and finds it difficult to keep the supply going. Every other woman has one or is going to have one the fact that they cost, anywhere from one hundred dol lars to fifteen,, thousand dollars being apparently not' the least detriment to her intention. Awhile ago only the. "really"' queens of the social world dreamed of posses sing a diamond tiara. Look about you now at the opera, and you will find the woman who is not more or less tiaraed to be the exception. Mrs. Astor, Mrs. Clary Mackay, Mis. Ogden Mills, Mrs. Willie Vanderbilt, and the others "really" queens have only their jeweled stomachers left to distinguish them from all the mighty host of "nearly" queens by whom they are surrounded. Where does all the money come from? The rage. for jewejry ii positively ram pant, but when one sees the beautiful things that are shown, it is easily under stood, and their prodigal supply seems to argue that anything but inexhausti ble wealth is an absurd proposition. I have noticed that this is the sentiment that many women apparently entertain, and quite naturally, too. Yards of jeweled chains, hundreds of pearl pen dants, dozens of tiaras, and a lavish co'lection of everything jeweled does tend to make a little thing like a few hundred dollars seem exceedingly in significant, only "Where does all the money come from?'' There is no fad in jewels just now that has grown more pronounced than the fad of earrings. They seem to be grow ing in vogue, and size simultaneously. At the beginning of the seasoD. the most daring votaries of new fashions were conservative about adopting ear ringsespecially earrings or any eize. AH'such timidity is now forgotten. The smarter the woman the more extreme are her earringp. though I am not say ing, by any means, that all the smart women do wear earrings, for they do not yet. Mrs. Fred Neilson is wearing, perhaps, the most unusual pair of ear rings I have seen. They are simply huge, and correspondingly smart. One earring is a "cabuichon" tur quoise surrounded by sizable diamonds, and the other a "cabuichou" cat's-eye, mounted similarly. Mrs. Neilson has them mounted so that, despite their weight, they set close to the face and do not pull down fatal fault with all screw earrings for they then deform the ear and destroy the outline of tbe face. "Art in dress" is certainly a study, one must believe, when one realizes that it is necessary for a woman to know even "how to wear'" earrings with suc cess! The woman who knows would never dream of having her ears pierced, and if they are already pierced she ignores the fact, for to screw the earrings through tbe ear invariably gives the earring a wrong slant a tendency that is to an ugly, downward droop. The new mounting is a kind of clamp, which al lows the earring to be screwed on, not through the ear, and makes it possible for the earring to be worn close to the face, which is vastly more becoming, and obviates all danger of dragging down the ear. Collars of pearls, with a wide jeweled clasp, are another fad long popular in Paris that we have been slow in adopt ing, but now appears to have "arrived," which, argues, many women of fashion think, the advent of the decollete thea tre gown. These pearl collars, to be really smart, must be very wide at least twelve strands of pearls and must bo clasped with one large jeweled clasp directly un der the chin and a smaller one at the back. In many instances the pearls are frankly imitation the prejudice against imitation pearle being largely overcome while the clasp, it one has to count the cost, is set with jewels that have lost their "cachet" in their original set ting. The divine Sarah, when she plays "Camille," wears pearl collars whenever she possibly can, and directly under the front clasp she fastens a bow of tulle. The divine Sarah ia as great in her sartorial art as she is in her art with the big A. - Her gowns in "Camille" and the way she wears them are Bimply a delight to tbe eye with sartorial inclinations. 1 Ab for the "long lines," that, and the loose, straight effects she mostly wears Fn modern clothes, they make her the quintessence of grace and suppleness, and fill you with the strongest possible desire to never again see the feminine form packed into what is commonly called "a perfect fit." Lady Modish. "Let's go into the library and have a cigar and a game of chess, old man." "I'm sorry, but I haven't time. My wife made me promise particularly that I wouldn't tonight, as she is anxious to get home early." "Oh, you'll have lots of time. Why, don't you hear that she's begun to tell my wife her recipe for making mincemeat?" The Twice a-Veek Republic.
