Jingling Women.
The "Jingling Woman" of to-day is becoming a perfect nuisance to those of her fellow creatures afflicted with sensitive nerves and hearing. The dangling chatelaines, with their mul-
titudinous little sham-useful articles at the end of metal chains, is responsible for a most disturbing jangling when the wearer moves. Now t<» these are added long loose chains of lieads. which are the craze of the moment, and a variety of charms, anything but charming to those irritated by their tinkling, suggestive of. but less melodious than, the cow t»ells of Switzerland or the horse bells of some of our own vehicles. In the silence rooms of the ladies' clubs the entrance of the jingling woman when other women were writing and resting recently led to sharp remonstrance on the part of the unbeaded and non-tinkling occupants of the room. c O O O O
