HAVE YOUR DIAMONDS RESET.
A magazine much patronised by the humbler classes, and which is issued under the title of the great Thackeray's great novel, "Vanity Fair," gives some sound advice to its readers. It says: "Clothes have never been so expensive, or so ephemeral. Chiffon and mousseline de soie must be exquisitely fresh, or are only fit for the ragbag. Those misguided people, too, who wear their diamonds year after year without dreaming of having them reset are beginning to look positively dowdy." What poor, miserable creatures we are _ wa lking about year after year, not only not having our diamonds reset, but not even dreaming of the
same! Dear friends, whatever else happens, let us do without bread or coals, let our women-folk eschew fur and ermine, chiffon and mousseline de soie, but oh! let us all have our diamonds reset.
