UNUSUAL NECKLACE.

A resourceful young woman who wanted a very smart, rather long string of heads to wear with a special frock, looked over her assortment of necklaces l>eforo faring forth to ppend money on an expensive neck ornament. Put away in one of her treasure hoses she found two old necklaces of previous years. One was a short but very good string of small pearl beads, laid aside because a short string of small beads just encircling the throat was neither very smart, nor very becoming with present style costume. Tho other necklace was a short string of real corm* beads, a left-over from childhood days. She discovered that tho small pearl heads and tho coral beads were exactly tho same size. and she hit upon the idea of stringing them together, a pearl bead alternating with a coral bead. Quito a long loop was achieved, and tho gold clnsn from the original coral necklace finished off the new necklace beautifully. So unusual and so distinctive is this long string of alternating coral and pearl—and so good aro the beads used—that almost everyone who sees the string comments upon it. A jeweller of noto expressed his admiration of the necklace and asked the young woman where she had bought it. Yet only a little resourcefulness was needed to achieve this very attractive necklace and not one,penny did it cost its possessor!
