A WATCH RIBBON.
For a long while, during years of hard work, women asked for no better iior<more useful way of wearing a watch than upon a wristlet, and many were the methods •brought into vogue for diversifying the j design.
Now, however, a new plan is being introduced which any girl may follow, provided her watch be small and ornamental. The design the jewellers are selling includes a necklet of half-inch width moire ribbon, from which dangles a little timekeeper as thin as a biscuit, in a, platinum case, decorated with repousee work in chastely classical designs.
To beautify the ribbon little links of open-work platinum separate the strands, but these ornaments are not necessary for the amateur who wants to wear her enamel or crystal case watch in the new manner.
This watch may be the forerunner- of the reappearance of the locket of old times, for it looks just like it, and. dangling on its ribbon falls just where the locket of old did, midway between neck and waist.
