WHAT A SAWTOIR IS!
Those reading down Iho list of presents to the Duchess of York have paused to wonder what the Duke's gilt to her could be, which is described as a. pearl and diamond sawtoir. There will sure to ,bo a run upon it as a, gift from bridegroom to bride just to bo in tbc fashion. Probably it should really be described as “ sauter,” for it is nothing more nor less than a very long necklace or rope of pearls, almost to the knees, alternated with, another stone-in the case of the Duke's gift, diamonds. He chose rather small pearls, with diamond's set in platinum in between, and a diamond 1 forming tiie support of the largo pearl which forms the drop at the end. Sounds a most attractive and. desirable garniture to add to the jewel case certainly, and most brides would eagerly welcome one. Pear's, in whatever design, are a good investment, for they can always be .restrung and the ornament remodelled when fashion changes, as in the case of Madame Gerardy's pearl collar, which was her wedding gift, and which her hu.sha.nd had remodelledl to form a pearl necklace.
