Xjvaina Correspondence of the Philadelphia Timet.
In a play recently performed at a West
fid theater a ring, with a poisonous weap
on concealed therein, had an important
pa.-t to play in the denouement. In days
. ire such rings were more common than
wa.- absolutely desirable and one of these,
an antique pearl and topaz ring, which at
'ip time contained a poisonous knife, re-Jeas-o
ly a spring, was on sale in London.
Tni lt.g was purchased from a Spanish
P',"--nt--r at Key West, Kla. Its present
owm-r can congratulate himself upon pos
sessing a very interesting relic
1 he same can be said of divers orna
ments belonging to Miss Lucy Lee Hill,
the uaughter of one of the Southern leaders
in tne civil war that ra-agcd the United
Stu'ts in the '60s. The ornaments of
question consist of a necklace, earrings,
breastpin, cuff buttons, and a comb, each
of which was made from buttons cut from
the garments of distinguished Confederate
oCV'-rs, and all of them having a history.

er d on the field.
This novel form of embellishment recalls
the watch chain which is one of the proud
est possessions of a farmer living near
New York city, of the name of Thornton.
Eight links, each a trifle more than an incli
l-jr.g. and connected by metal rings, form
th. . linin. The chain, we learn, glistens
llki liory, having been highly polished by
years of wear. The links, however, do not
consist of ivory, but of bones taken from
amputated legs and hands.
We must not omit from this list or
st ranee jewelry yet another necklace pos
sess) g a decidedly human interest. The
neck ... -e in question was exhibited at the
Chi. ago exposition, and is. we believe, the
property of a Chicago merchant's wife. It
consists of three rows of human eyes in a.
perfect state of preservation they wcro
contributed by a number of Peruvian mum
mies polished and mounted in gold. They
mad a very striking but somewhat ghastly
ornament, and one that doubtless enjoyed
m j. h popularity in the era of the early
Britons.
Unique Relics.
Not very long ago an extraordinary- set of
ornaments was seen by an English traveler
at a "bride show" in Russia. The mother
of the bride, being of an ingenious turn of
mind, presented her daughter with a,girdle
consisting of seventy-two silver gilt table
spoons, a necklace of a like number of or
dinary spoons let us hope in view of tho
weight that they were teaspoons-while
fastened at the back. In the form of a
cross, were a couple of silver ladies.
The ordinary umbrella of the domestic
hatstand can hardly be regarded as an ar
t,i ii- of jewelry, but the parasol or um

straight piece of coral.
A short time ago live tortoises of a
dwarf variety, their backs incrustcd with
jewels and tethered by a light gold chain,
were very popular as necklaces among
those Parisian ladies of fashion who could
afford an average price of 16 each for
them.
another fashion that speedily became
popular was the wearing bv engaged
couples of a little piece of convex ivory,
mounted in gold and set with precious
stones. Upon the ivory a miniature painter
reproduced exactly one of the eyes of the
donor, at least three sittings being re
quired in order to get the right expres
sion and shade of the eye. In British
New Guinea the fashionable wear as re

made of lizards' tails, and cigarette hold

It is a moot point who possesses the

to have been the value of the necklace

THE JOURNAL 10 A WEEK
PRICE 0FA TITLE.
It's a High One Thnt American Girls
Pay, bnt They Seem Willing; "
to Iluy Them.
i'rom the Cleveland Leader.
After the first glamour of her new sur
roundings has worn off and her title has
ceased to be a novelty, the realization of
high life is often a disillusionment to the
American girl who marries an Italian
noble. She seldom considers beforehand
the dowager mother-in-law who expects to
discipline and direct her, as a mother, of
course, and who as long as she lives is
always at the head of her son's family.
Then there is the life of rigid etiquette she
must lead, where all natural impulses are
curbed by conventionality, and where
friends arc chosen, not in accordance with
the dictates of her heart, but according
to the distinction of rank.
So it happens that the life of the titled
American woman is as dull outwardly, at
least as that of the Italian born, and in
sofar as an outsider can discover, she
has no more influence in public affairs. Of
course, there are ways and means of wield
ing influence, and one hears vaguely of
instances where the tact of an American
wife has wrought transformations in an
Italian household, but no examples are
cited.
"-"or instance, several titled Americans in
Rome recently expressed such interest in
the woman question that they held several
meetings In the house of a friend to discuss
the matter, hut when it finally came to the
point of allying themselves openly with the
movement, they all, not a woman excepted,
withdrew.
The Princess Brancacci, the Contessa
Olanottl, the Marchesa Teodoli. the Con
tessa dl Braggi, the Princess Pogia-Suasa.
the Contessa Resse, and the Marchesa dl
Spluola are all American women, and sev
eral others of lesser prominence could bo
mentioned.
The Princess Brancacci is prominent in
the court circle, and bears the title of
"Dame d'Honneur" to her majesty. Queen
Margherita. She was a Miss Field, of New
York, and very beautiful as a young girl.
In middle life she Is still handsome, and
has the airs and manner of a princess
born. Her interests do not extend outsido
of her family and the court circle. She is
happy In having married her daughter to
Prince Massimo, who bears one of the most
illustrious names of Rome, the family in
habiting tho feudel palace for many cen
turies and claiming to trace their descend
ants from the praetor, Fabius Maximus.
"My beautiful enemy" is what King
Humbert calls the Marchesa Teodoli, be
cause she champions the cause of the pope
and makes her hostility to the king's
party evident on cveiy possible occasion.
She was Miss Lily Conrad, and was so
beautiful as a young woman that the peas
ants called her "Madonna," and used to
kneel before her in the road. Her beauty
is still noticeable, although it is somewhat
impaired by ill health and anxiety, for her
married life has not been all roses. It was
a love match, and, neither side having the
money their position and ambition demand
ed, the result has been a constant strain
ing and scheming to make ends meet a
sad case, but not an unusual one in Roman
life. She Is the author of two hooks.
"Under Pressure" and "Candidducjla."
both novels of Roman life, gracefully writ
ten. She aspires to be a "savantc," but
attracts rather because of her social graces
and accomplishments. Many stories are
told of extremes to which she has gone in
exhibiting her hatred of the Whites tho
government party. One day she boasted
to the French ambassador how often she
had refused to rise in the queen's presence.
"Madame." he replied, "cc n'ctait pas une
aftaire de politique, e'etait une aftaire de
politesse."
The Contessa dl Brazzi is already well
known in America from her connection
with the world's fair, and as one of the
ardent promoters of tho universal peace
movement. Dl Brazzi is neither an old
name nor an important one here In Rome,
but the present contessa, through her in
terest in puDlic anairs ami eloquence on
the platforms of various women's clubs in
America, has made it. at least, a familiar
one. She was a Miss Slocumb, of New Or
leans, and brought her husband both
wealth and beauty. At her summer place,
Clvidale, near Udine, she has revived tho
handicraft of lacemaklng, a once beautiful
and famous production of that part of
Italy.
But the really noteworthy exception
among the American women in Rome is
tne contessa Kcsse, who was a Miss
Phelps, of New York, and related to the en
tire group of Phelps-Stokeses of America.
Possessing the breadth of interest and
executive ability of the most progressive
American women, there is about her the
delicate aroma which clings to tho gar
ments of the true aristocracy, and lends a
line distinction to his or her presence.
Cruelly and unjustly ostracised from the
Roman circle in which she belongs, because
she dared to marry a divorced man, she
has filled her life with wider and more
valuable interests. In these Count Resse.
who Is a scholar and a man of unusual
breadth of culture, encourages and assists
hur, and their home has become the meet
ing place for people of ideas. An ethical
society was started through her influence,
and for several years held its meetings
under her roof; a Y'oung Woman's Chris
tian Association organized here but recent
ly finds in her an ardent promoter; she
is also much Interested in the social
reform wprk of Father Bixio, which is
something in the nature of a peripatetic.
social settlement movement. 'YAt present
tne young men wno are promoting tne
soup kitchen denartment meet with her
every week for advice and assistance. Her
home, in the interesting, old medieval Pa
lazzo Gabrlella, is a treasure house of rare
books, paintings, prints, tapestries and ex
quisitely carved old furniture. To mention
only one treasure, there are nineteen of
Albrecht Durer's wood cuts, all splendid
first Impressions.
The Marchesa dl Spinola, whose name
was mentioned before, was a Miss Page, of
New York, and Is much admired for her
beauly and sweet manners. The Princess
Pogia-Suaso was a Miss Curtis, also of
New York, and occupies the position of
"Dame d'Honneur" to her majesty. Queen
Margherita. Her husband. Prince Pogla
Suaso, is the syndic of Rome, which cor
responds to our position of mayor.
And there are manv other American
women bearing Italian titles. In fact, the
number of American girls who have mar
ried foreign titles is so large and increas
ing so rapidly that ono Is forced to echo
the words of a Frenchman who has writ
ten recently on the subject: "American
girls have gone daft over titles. Thev are
the only things they cannot buy In Amer
ica, the only things lacking to their eclat
as the real queens of the world."

recently obtained a wedding outtit, or part
of it. on credit, and said her father would
pay for It. The father, however, when the
bill came In, said that he "knew nothing
about it," and refused payment. Questions
have therefore arisen as to whether under
such circumstances it is possible to compel
payment by the parent, or whether the
daughter could be prosecuted for obtaining
goods under false pretenses. With regard
to the giving of credit to married women,
so many husbands and shopkeepers seem
to have suffered on this point that a Judge
proposes that a register should he intro
duced wherein husbands might repudiate
the debts -of their wives. The suggestion
seems feasible, and if carried out might
have the threefold advantage of saving
women from undue extravagance, saving
husbands from being recklessly run into
debt, and saving merchants from bad debts.
