WOMAN’S
WORLD.
The design is the thing in the jewelry
world today with art as the dominant
force, and this state'bf affairs represents
an evolution that is welcomed witli joy
by the artist-craftsman who believes that
an ornament worthy of the name should '
possess an art value that warrants its
being considered as a thing of lasting
beauty, not simply represent a com
bination of precious metal and gems
proclaiming to all beholders the expendi
ture of so many dollars and cents.
Intrinsic value is no longer the gov
erning motive in the selection of a piece
ef jewelry by those whose tastes have
been trained to appreciate the art mani
fested in its production as in a beautiful
picture or a piece of bric-a-brac. Many
times the real cost or worth of an orna
ment, judged by commercial standards,
is now cheerfully paid because of the
brains and the ideas embodied iu the ]
production.
“Ten years ago we would have had no !
sale *for such nu ornament as this,” said j
an arrist-jeweler of this city, pointing to i
an exquisite pendant of the art nouveau
type with a beautifully modeled female
head in the centre and perfectly matched
pearls and diamonds embellishing the
frame of rose gold. ‘‘Fortunately many
people are coming to a better apprecia
tion of the true mission of jewelry ajad
refuse to accept that which does not con
form to artistic standards. We are be
coming better educated along art lines,
care less for showy things and more for
those that represent artistic creation,
not merely skillful workmanship and dis
play. Pretty soon men and women of
refinement and culture will no more
think of buying a piece of jewelry that
is inartistic than they would purchase
a pocrly executed picture. Brains tell
in the jewelry productions of today as
they have not told heretofore in this new
and prosperous country. Tlie form of an
ornament is no' longer subordinated to
the jewels that embellish it; it is the
gems that are made subservient to the
design. I do not mean that flamboyant
jewelry is destined to disappear entirely
and all at once; rather tWat the orna
ment that is artistic as well as in
trinsically valuable will be more and
more conspicuous.
* * I
“It has not been a path marked by ;
complete success that has led to the su- :
premacy of the design rather than the i
exploitation of the costly gem in a com- ;
monplace setting; failures have been fre
quent, oftentimes discouraging, bnt the
workers have preserved, and the reward
whe success has been attained has com
pensated for the previous discourage
ments.
“The design for a brooch or other or
nament is as carefully sketched as the
drawing for a picture. When ihe artist’s
work has been passed upon and the'form
selected the services of the goldsmith
and jeweller are enlisted and if, as hap
pens in many of these new designs, a
touch of enameling is added that part of
the work is assigned to a master of the
craft. Artistic jewelry represents tfct- ;
best work in other lines where art enters i
Info the manufacture. We no longer give !
in ornament to oue man arid let him car
ry out the design in its entirety. Thus
we have a change not alone in result, but
ill method. This evolution is one certain
to appeal to every lover of beautiful
things, and to the jeweler who is con
cerned with the art as well as the com
mercial aspect of his craft it is one of
the happiest of auguries for the future
of the jewelry business in this country.
“With regards to styles in jewelry,”
continued this exponent of the new art,”
“pearls lead everything else this season.
Paris is pearl mad and the prominence
given to this lustrous jewel is in keeping
with the development of the artistic idea
In jewelry, for the pearl makes no special
appeal to those who like showy orna
ments. In order to accentuate the luster
and 'eolorig of fine pearis we frequently

heroin note another difference: formerly
the pearl served as a frame for the di
amond. For many people there is a
marked fascination about pearls, and it
may be interesting to note that they are
'the only jewels used in a natural state.
Diamonds, rubies, sapphires and all other'
gems are polished, ert, altered; the pearl
preserves the form in which it was taken
from the oyster or mussel shell.
Perfect pearls are so rare that they
command high prices, but pearls of ir
regular shape have assumed unusual im
portance in recent years and are known
as baroque pearls. Some specimens of

baroque pearls are valued at high as
$1,000. They enter iuto the composition
of distinctive ornaments, oftentimes pos
sessing a unique character, for the aim
of the new development is the production
of designs that shall indicate individual
selection, not look as if they were ali
poured out of one mold. From the fa
vorite designs that have stood the test of
ages au ornament is evolved by the com
bined talent and skill of the artist and
craftsman in which originality of treat
ment is the keynote and artistic blending
of form and gem decoration and color ef
fect the result. Beauty and art value, I
not the value in dollars and cents of the I
gold and jewels represented, will guide j
the educated purchaser of fine jewelry in
the future, and I venture to predict that j
the number of such purchasers will in
crease with each suceeding year. While '
the pearl just now reigns supreme, the ;
precious gems that have held sway for
ages have not been eclipsed, and they too i
enter into the production of jewelry that '
represents the best that artist and arti
san working together can evolve.”
As a last word the jeweler added:—
‘•Brains and ideas command high prices
in our business as in every other, conse
quently this fine art jewelry costs more
than the ordinary type. But it is worth
it.”
“I wouldn’t attempt to'judge a man by
liis coat,” she said gravely, “but I would
not hesitate in two minutes to judge
him by his necktie. It is an almost in
fallible guide. Of course there are ex
ceptions, but the character and intellect
of most men can be told by the way in
which they tie their ties. Now, take the
over clever man, for example,” says the
“Toledo Blade,”
“The tie of the genius has afforded
much ‘copy’ for the pen of the satirist
and the pencil of the caricaturist, but in
reality any little peculiarity or idiosyn
crasy in dresing is generally the outward
and visible sign of vanity rather than
of personal untidiness. The average man,
with an ordinary share of intellect, sel
dom knows how to tie a tie as it can
be tied and is tied by men with no intel
lect at all. He may possess a charming
selection of the best ties which Broadway
can supply and does not in the least look
eccentric—nay, rather, he often wants to
be as smart in appearance as possible,
but somehow he rarely achieves his ob
ject.
Directly you see a really beautifully
tied tie (except in the cases of military
men and actors, with whom it is a part
of the training) which never moves out of
place, following faithfully the little
idiosyncrasies of contemporary dandy
ism, you may be fairly certain that yon
are not facO to face with an undiscovered
Shakespeare or an embryonic Goethe.
Of course inutile case of a rich and im
portant personage the lesser details of
the toilet are usually left to the valet,
but even then I defy a man of real
brains to keep his tie at the exact angle
for any considerable time, At dinner
you will generally find that by the time
the soup lias arrived the evening tie
has shifted its position or become i
obliquely set. This could probably be I
easily avoided, only it,happens that the
way in wrfich a man wears his tie indi- j
cates pretty accurately the wearer's in
tellectual appreciation of trifles.
*
The return to the puffed sleeve is not
unexpected, for the indications have been
toward it for some time. The fact that
the sleeves were baggy below the elbow
has argued that it would be only a ques
tion of a short time before they would
bag above the elbow, and then that the
inevitable crinoline would come.
There is just a possibility that the
crinolined skirt may return with the
puffed sleeve, and if it does it will be a
skirt of very large proportions and one
that is worn semi-short also.
Such a style would be in almost com
plete opposition to the style of skirt of
the present day. which is clinging and
fitted very closely. Yet the present
styles in their wide range include round
skirts, and figured skirts at that, to
make the skirt look rounder.

The fancy for the all black gown is
such a growing one that the woman who |
wants to dress' effectively ^annot afford i
to ignore it. The gown must be tine itilil j
soft and exquisite in texture, if mastic !
of lace or of panue, of liberty or of ehif- i
fun, or of the very soft crepe de chine
or crepe de Paris, it fs always becoming.
But if made in the heavier, harsher ma
terials it is not so apt to look well.
There are those who can wear black
chiffon and black lace, but- who cannot
wear black satin nor black brocade.
These heavy stuffs bring out the imper
fections strongly, while the softer ones
conceal them. So, in choosing black be
sure to get the kind that is becoming.

Among the handsomest buttons are
some in silver and green, with a really
artistic design in those little winged
seeds that fall from the maple tree. The
foundation of the button is of a dnll
opaque green and the design of these
odd little seeds in silver nearly covers
it. There is a heavy silver edge to
match.

TEN YEARS’
TRIAL as as
Tbe Story of a
Soldier's Struggle
By Brigadier General
CHARLES KING
Copyright, 1001, by Charles King.
[CONTINUED.]
Nelson stood a few secorids gazing
full Into the set face and gleaming
eyes of his friend. Little by little he
was recalling and piecing together the
stories that had been whispered about
Eric Langdon’s pretty, volatile, reck
less wife—about her daring life in
Washington while her husband was on
distant duty with his battery, about
the attentions and devotions of elderly
reprobates in and about the capital,
men whose pockets seemed lined with
gold and whose records were seamed
and lined with scandal. But there
were tales of still another, a younger
man, a distant kinsman, a Virginian
of grand old family, a boy lover in her
early girlhood, a man who became her
shadow and sought to be her knight,
for there was a tale of a scene at the
Shoreham cafe—a senator in his cups
and a stripling doctor in all his youth
ful strength and chivalry, a sneering
jest between one half drunken nabob
and a kindred spirit and reputed rival
at an adjoining table, an Instant spring
from a third table on the part of a tall,
athletic young gallant in evening dress,
a stern, furious demand for immediate
apology, followed by a knockdown
blow that sent $5,000,000~sprawling in
bedraggled human shape, bottles, dish
es and glasses raining and crashing up
on him. They dragged him out cover
ed witl* rage and lobster salad and
bore him off to bed. Even in execu
tive session the story was suppressed,
for there was no bar to the confirma
tion of a certain appointment to the
medical corps of the army. Indeed
was it not whispered that the appoint
ment was made at the instigation of
certain senators “to get the young man
into the army and out of Washington?”
Nelson was not much of a repository
for gossip. He listened only impatient
ly at best and remembered but vague
ly. Yet now it was all coming over
him again, bit by bit, that Armistead
was the hero of that exploit, that in
the Winter of 1884 and 18851 there was
lively discussion in Washington socie
ty as to whether Armistead was there
to get Mrs. Langdon into mischief or
out of it. Those who .knew him well
and of his infatuation for her in her
girl days swore stoutly that be was
ever standing between her and scan
dal. Those who hardlv knew him at
all, and they were 20 to 4, took the op
posite view, and those who in the least
knew her had no charity for either.
'Until commissioned and ordered out pf
(■Washington, however, he was her
shadow, as has been said, and yet it,
iwas his tribe, his own brothers, who
instigated the proceedings that divert
ed Cousin Spotts’ little fortune from
ithe maw of Mrs. Langdon to their own
pitching palms. And now of all places
on earth here was Eric Langdon under
Armistead’s care and bis—Nelson’s—
roof; this, too, at a time when Lang
don sorely needed rest, peace and
friendly aid. “By George,” said Nel
son to himself, “it is fateful!”
But Langdon was the first to break
the silence.
“What Is the first train back to Chi
cago?”
“Seven twelve tomorrow morning,
Eric. But not a peg do you stir till we
straighten you up. Dr. Bloodgocd
shall attend you,'ttiougu. The o'the? IS
a ‘liver’ man. There’s no reason you
shouldn’t take hi& medicine, dear boy.
Come, now, be reasonable. You need
this bromide or whatever it is.”
“Not a drop!” was the fierce reply.
“Get me out of this, Nels, for God’s
sake, even if I have to walk!” he
cried, feebly struggling to rise, but
Nelson, with his powerful frame, was
on him in a minute. Hoyt came sprint
ing up the stairs and thrust the bewil
dered steward aside.
“Just send my man fof Bloodgood,
will you?” panted Nelson to the new
comer. “Then help me strap this luna
tic. Do quit your struggling, Uric.
You’ll only make yourself a thousand
/times worse.”
The sweat was starting from Lang
don’s brow and the muscles in his neck
stood out swollen and distorted. He
was fighting fiercely for liberty, he
who so short a time before with long
sigh had thanked God humbly for
warmth and refuge. All the misery1 of
his married life seemed to have hurled

again and rou'oed him of his reason.
Nelson had to summon the steward to
his aid, and Hoyt, too, when he return
ed, and at last between tnem they 1
wore their frantic patient out and' the
poor fellow sank exhausted upon his '
pillow, buried his streaming face in his
arms and sobbed—sobbed like a little
child. It was thus the senior surgeon
found him when in surprise and mani
fest annoyance he appeared, but the
Instant he was made to realize that the
stricken man before him was Eric
Langdon Bloodgood's injured air gave !
place to quick sympathy and interest.
Long and carefully he studied his shir
ering patient. Little convulsive shud
derings seemed to traverse Langdon's
frame, and his sobs grew feebler. He
moaned wearily at intervals, and the
steward was sent on the run with a j
note to Dr. Armistead and an order for j
certain restoratives from the hospital. )
It seemed an age before he returned, j
Langdon lay in semicollapse when at ;
; last his step was heard, and the doctor j
| had felt compelled to administer table- i
j spoonfuls of brandy.
“What on earth kept you?” demand- I
ed he angrily. “I could have gone
there and back a dozen times.”
“So could I, sir, but I couldn’t find
Dr. Armistead anywhere. The patrol
coming in from the station said they
saw him In civilian dress going out at
the gate.” i
“Impossible,” sharply retorted Blood
good. “He couldn’t leave the post
without my consent. Drop the medi
cine and go to the colonel’s and see if
he’s there. I cannot leave this case for
two hours. He’ll have to look out for
the others, and I’ve got some instruc
tions to give him.”
But when the steward returned from
the commanding officer’s it was with a
message that startled both the post
surgeon and the two officers present.
“The colonel’s compliments, sir. and
he says that a sudden emergency called
Dr. Armistead to town. The colonel
had a note from him and sent back his
permission, but he supposed of course
that the post surgeon had also been
Consulted.”
There was silence for a moment.
Bloodgood looked wonderingly at the
steward, finally nodded toward the
door, and the man understood and left
the room. Bloodgood closed the door
behind him, and then Nelson spoke im
petuously as ever:
“By heaven, I never supposed Armi
stead could be a coward!”
And then Langdon began to murmur.
They listened, but could only distin
guish his dead wife's name.
CHAPTER IV.
It was a week before Langdon was
allowed to sit up, and a weak and
fragile thing he looked. But meantime
there had been sport for Chicago pa
pers at Sheridan. There usually is. To
begin with. Dr. Bloodgood had pitched
into his assistant for quitting the post
without his knowledge or consent Ar
mistead replied that while it might
have been without his consent it
should not have been without his
knowledge, as the same means had
been taken of notifying the post sur
geon as in the ease of the commanding
officer, a note sent by Armistead’s
servant saying that a telegram had
Just called him to Chicago on most
urgent personal business. The train
would be along in 20 minutes. There
was barely time to change uniform for
civilian dress and run for it. There
was no time to hunt up both the post
Burgeon and commanding officer. Tihe
servant declared he rang four times at
the doctor’s and, getting no answer,
concluded that the gale had deadened
the sound of the bell and such effort
was useless. So he crammed the note
under the door and went his further
way. But Bloodgood was in ill humor.
In all that raging storm he had to
struggle about tbe big post in Answer
to demands for medical services, ac<l
fie said things in his Spleen that reach
ed tbe ears of Dr. Armistead before
tbe eve of another day and led to an
open breach between the senior aud
junior practitioners of the post. Dr.
Bloodgood asked the colonel command
ing if he had seen the telegram Dr. Ar
mistead asserted had come to him from
town. The colonel had not and consid
ered Dr. Armistead’s word as conclu
sive. Dr. Bloodgood intimated that he
had reason to believe, and so had the
other officers, that it wasn’t the coming
of a. wire from town, but a man, that
drove Armistead out of the post.
Tlirungh clerks, orderlies and kitchen
door cackle the affair got out ill exag
gerated shape. Then flamed the col
umns of Chicago’s unterrified press
with headlines of startling proportions
—“Another Scandal at the Fort! Duel
Nipped In the Bud! Row In the Regi
ment! Further Sensations Sure to Fol
low! Colonel Sharpe Defies the Press!
Prominent Officers Arrested!” And in
24 hours what had been a placid and ■
fairly orderly military community was
engulfed in a whirlpool of gossip and ,
prostrated at the contemplation of its ;
. owu enormities as portrayed by the t
papers. Sharpe was driven nearly rab- j
id by the reporters, who dogged his |
every movement and besieged bis quar- >
ters morn, nooh and night. Bloodgood
refused flat footed to be “interviewed,”
and Armistead shut his mouth like a
clam, thereby compelling some journal
ists to improvise the desired state
ments.
It was from the inspired columns of
The Palladium that the colonel first
learned that the cause of the whole
trouble was “the presence, at the post
of a man recently dismissed, in dis
grace from the army, but who. in defi
ance of law, regulations aud common
decency, is now concealed in the quar- |
ters of Lieutenant Nelson, a former
classmate. The man, in question was
until his dismissal a lieutenant in the !
artillery, but his peccadillos, extend
ing over a period of y#ars. had culmi
nated in a cowardly assault on a broth
er officer at Fort Pawnee.” And Sharp®
sent for Nelson and demanded the
iuetsL Nelson .unayffiy^gave (hem

._
..FIND THE WOMAN’ ACCOMPANYING THE*
and said lbs friend was prostrated sun,
and the doctor forbade his being dis
turbed or seen, which was all there
was to the assertion that he was con
cealed. The colonel felt, somehow,
that Langdon’s presence at the post
was a thing he ought to object to, and
he did. “See what an infernal bob
bery It has kicked up!” said be. “Now
they’ll be demanding an explanation
fsorn me at Washington, and what the
devil am 1 to say? You ought to have
cousulted my wishes before harboring
a man In Mr. Langdon’s plight."
“I did not invite poor Langdon out
here, colonel,” answered Nelson. “Two
of onr men found him fainting and ex
hausted in town and mercifully
brought him here. I put him to bed in
my quarters as a matter of course, and
if that’s a military offense I’ll stand
any punishment a court martial may
inflict. As to Armistead and Langdon,
beyond the fact that there is some deep
feeling between them, I know nothing.
There is no likelihood of their meeting,
and when Langdon is strong enough to
move he will need no hint from head
quarters or aDy where else.”
Then the colonel said something
about reporters which, being interpret
ed, was the reverse of complimentary
and not altogether just, because, like
soldiers, these hapless toilers have
their orders and cannot but obey. They
were sent to Sheridan to get some
thing sensational, “something to make
the paper sell,” and the fellow that
came back empty handed—none of
them did, of course—stood in danger of
discharge. The colonel really wanted
to know the nature of the telegram
that called Dr. Armistead so suddenly
to town. The senior surgeon. Lieuten
ant Nelson and one or two others had
intimated that it was not the coming
of the telegram, but Langdon, that set
him going. Investigation, however,
developed^ the fact that a telegram
really had been received and delivered
to Dr. Armistead. Tbe operator could
not be required to disclose tbe nature
of the same, it being a private dis
patch, yet the colonel thought he
ought to know if for no other reason
than to be able to set at rest the ru
mors at Armistead’s expense, and be
fore he had time to think it all over
and decide with wisdom, as ill luck
would have It. he met Armistead in
front of headquarters and beckoned
bim aside.
ur. Armisteaa. saia lie, "in justice
to yourself It might be well to let me
see the dispatch you received the other
night. You—may have heard that oth
er motives have been assigned to your
going so hurriedly to town.”
"1 have heard, sir,” was the doctor's
spirited rejoinder, ‘‘also of the inqui
ries of certain of your officers of the
operator. In my state we shoot men
who stoop to such practices. Up here
you seem to encourage them.”
The colonel Hushed hotly. “Have a
care. Dr. Armistead. Language -like
that has led to the loss of more than
one commissitfn. I do not resent your
words as they deserve, because I know
the strain you are under and the an
noyance you—we all—have had. I re
peat that it seems due to yourself to
dispel this—uncertainty,” and uncer
tainly the colonel paused.
“Then let me say here and now, Colo
nel Sharpe, that If you mean to show
that telegram I decline. As for Mr.
Langdon, after all that has been pub
lished and said, he has got to meet me
the moment he is well enough.”
The colonel’s orderly, muffled to his
ears in his heavy overcoat, stood with
in easy range, Intently eying some ob
ject far out on the stormy lake, but as
Intently listening.
“Orderly,” said the colonel Impa
tiently, “take these letters to Mrs.
Sharpe and say I won't be home to
luncheon and go and get your dinner.”
Then, when the soldier was well be
yond earshot, the colonel turned on the
fiery young Virgipian. t “Dr. Armi
stead,” said he impressively, “you may
Judge for yourself S3 to the telegram,
but for the present I have simply to
warn you to keep your temper and—
away from Mr. Langdon. There’s to
be no meeting between "you two In or
around this post. Understand that,
and— Good day to you, sir."
This was four days after Langdon’s
arrival, and by another day the Chica
go papers had reached Pawnee and
served as fuel to the flame'of excite
mwii alvaoilsr. tfff toU. hlast. „Xa, hada
with Old Hurricane, Lahgdon’s 'faith
ful valet and servant, had been be
queathed to the care of Rodney May
and Woodrow, had been given a little
room back of the main mess building
and in somebody’s cast off dress suit
appeared as butler one evening at din
ner. A Virginia education had made
him familiar with every-detail of such
duties, ar.d his grizzled pate and lined,
pathetic face went far to equip him to
look the character. To Langdon’s
friends among the boys it seemed most
fitting that the lonely old negro mourn
ing for his beloved master should be
cared for by their number, but Lang
don’s friends were not too numerous
now that he was some weeks gone
from their midst, and Nathan, Tor
rance* and satellites of theirs had the
floor. It pleased Mr. Torrance one
evening to speak brutally to the old
servitor and then contemptuously of
his former employer, and when May
and Woodrow heard of the shabby af
fair they hunted up Torrance and de
manded the reason for his outbreak.
The particulars of that encounter never
got out, but a small party of cronies
first cut Torrance and then “cut” loose
from the club. Taking Hurricane with
them, they set up housekeeping for
themselves, and this new establish
ment was in smooth running order,
very harmonious and companionable,
when the Sheridan news was received,
whereas there were still dissensions at
“the mess.” The married men had all
club privileges, of course, but no seat
at table. The 15 or 20 bachelors who
thrice a day had been accustomed to
commune together over the board had
taken much comfort in Hurricane’s co
lonial dignity of manner and consum
mate knowledge of a butler’s duty.
They were annoyed that Torrance
should have taken It upon himself to
abuse a servitor who was in nowise in
his pay or under his authority; but,
having failed to pass the vote of cen
sure proposed by May, Woodrow and
Le Due or to take any measure what
ever to insure their butler against fur
ther abuse, they had precipitated the
secession of six of their choicest spirits
and with the six had lost Hurricane.
When it was too late, some of the main
establishment thought they “ought to
do something,” for the six who seceded
were gentlemen, ami, u one migni
judge from language and conduct, Tor
rance was not. Wealth, won with his
lackadaisical wife, had made him arro
gant, but nothing could make him pop
ular. The membership of the officers’
club included the entire commissioned
list of the garrison—cavalry, artillery
and staff. "Cat” of course was presi
dent, but Mrs. "Cat” bad her objections
to bis giving much time to soci*T enjoy
ment within its walls, and the doughty
veteran who bad led a dozen dashing
charges during the great war and who
bore the scars of more than one sharp
scrimmage with the redskins on the
frontier was no match for his better
half in domestic encounter. Mrs. “Cat”
had convictions, one cf them being that
a married man should eat aud drink
only in the presence and company of
the partner of his joys and woes. This
insured his getting only what was gooi
for him. “Cat” as a consequence sa
very little of the club. Its vice pres
dent, an easy going old soul, exercisi
no control, he professing to believe th
such powers were vested only in ti.
chief. Melville but rarely set foot with
in its doors. When he did, however, it
was marvelous to note the effect. Al
tercation ceased, argument tempered,
voices toned down and orders for
drinks diminished, to next to nothing.
In its earlier stages the club had been
likened by a witty and observant wo
man to the Koaring Camp Immortalized
by Bret Harte, and occupants of quar
ters contiguous to or within hail of its
limits were loud and frequent in their
complaints. "Koaring Camp” was still
the name by which the many garrison
wits, mostly women, referred to it, and
its members had so far succumbed to
the force of circumstances as to fall in
to the way of saying they were going
to “camp” when they meant to the
club. Taking it by and large, however,
the Pawnee club had been a fairly har
monious organization. If its cigars
were not the best to be found in the
army, Its stories were not the worst,
and as for the mess feature. Pawnee’s
table was said to be quite the peer of
tlitwtpf Leavenworth or "the Point.”
