By FREDERICK M. KERBY. Special Staff Dispatch. New York, Jan. 15.—Five hundrel million dollars worth of diamonds, pearls and other precious stones and jewelry may go into the melting pot of war charities if American society leaders follow the example of the Duchess of Marlborough in England. The duchess, who was Consuelo Vandervilt, daughter of W. K. Vander- bilt of New York, has parted with the famous Vanderbilt pearls—a magnifi- cent collar composed of fifteen rows of pearls, connected by large dia- monds and set in plaques, worth in all about $25,090—as a gift to the chil- dren's jewcl fund of Great Britain. She has asked every woman in the Pritish Isles to sacrifice one piece of jewelry to the fund. There are many famous jewels in the possession of American women. One of the most beautiful and costly of these is the “Hope Diamond” now in the possession of Mrs. Edward Peale Mctean of Washington, D. C., daughter-in-law of the deceased mil- lionaire John R. McLean, and mother of the famous “millionaire baby Mc- Lean.” A few years ago she pur- chased this remarkadle stone, and had it mounted in a hair ornament. It is almost as blue as a sapphire and weighs 44 1-8 carats, and is valued at $125,007, Mrs, ‘McLean also owns an- other beautiful stone, the well known “Star of the East,” weighing nearly ‘98 carats. It is one of the largest dia- monds in the.world and is valued at more than $100,000. A wonderful string of pearls that may go into the melting pot of war zre those owned by Mrs. George “ould. Her pearls are strung into a necklace of great beauty and of fabu- lous-value. They are perfectly match- ed and the central ones are among the largest in existence. When worn by (Mrs. Gould they form’ four loops around the neck, the lowermost falling’ to the waist. She has never permitted the exact value of this chain to be- come: known, -but the sum of money represented ig a large one, * WILL AMERICAN WOMEN SACRIFICE JEWELS LIKE THEIR TITLED ENGLISH SISTER The Duchess of ‘Marlborough, who started the jewel giving mavanett among British women by donating her $25,000 pearl necklace to the. war charities fund; and, below, Mrs, Ed- ward McLean of the fashionable Washington. set, owner of the world. famous’ jewels... .. .
