Just at present the pear! pendant seems most popular. These chains are offereq in the modish white and green soid. some all white, -others all green, althoush the standard Roman gold also bids strogly! for popularity. The pen- dants are set with all kinds of stones, as well as the precious pearls already | mentioned. from $5 up. Of the In price the chains come semi-precious stones, set- imgs of aq are now leading. Tourmaiines in varfous colors good, and so are what are called the nntmfic stones, rubies, sapphires, et al, everything except which cannot well be imitated. Imitation pearis never lose popular- ity, strings almost like the genuine being shn"n at prices from $40 to $200. Of course genuine peazié cost all the way up to $200,000. The pearl stands at the tou, also, in favoritism as regards the few ear- rings worn by smart dressers, pearl effects being liked by those women who continue to wear earrings.

There are of course novelties in every line, espe- cially in diamond cutting, although the old round-cut diamond still holds #s own.

EMERGENCY HOSPITAL HAS BEEN CLOSED NOW The emergency hospital carried on by the town in Bushnell chapel, which was offered for this purpose by the Central Baptist church, was closed on Thursday after having done service of great value during the Spanish in- fluenza epidemic. In the 16 days it has been used as a hospital probably cases have been taken of, many of them brought there when the patient’s condition was at least serious and sometimes critical. In one or two es the patient died within an hour s0 of being brought to the hospital The hignest number of patients at anw one time was 36 and the total deaths were eight, which is considered ki care a a commendable record in view of the cases large proportion of serious handled. Joseph G, Rainey, a t nurse, has been in charge with a corps of helpers. -, A dozen or more of the patients jcame. from the town of, Montville, whose selectmen asked that some of their sick people might be to this emergency hospital, as that town had | no provision made to care for them. Within the last two or three days convalescent patients have been al- lowed to leave Yor their homes and on Thursday there were only sick people left at the hospital. these were not well enough to go home and weer taken to the Backus hospital to complete their convalescence. The other two were allowed to go home. ‘It was estimated by First Selectman Casper K.
