HEN the dictate against gloves went forth, the new ‘“harness” for the hand was evolved from some brilliant brain, and it is the ultimate bar- barism. It isn’t really so bad—it's not even expensive for those who al- ready own gems, set or unset; but the jeweled Harness is the thing to wear when bare-handed at the theater. This is what it is like: On every finger is worn a ring, with emeralds, rubies, dia- monds and any ether stone that happens to belong to the fortunate owner. Even the thumb has a ring, and all those on the fingers are joined together like the old-fash- ioned brass knuckle. From each ring there runs a fine gold chain that connects it with the large tur- Guoise ornament in the center of the back of the hand, and then the chain runs along through this jewel, which is set around with large diamonds, something like a brooch, and connected with the bracelet beyond on the wrist. It completely covers the hands-'and forms a blazing armor that will flash and dazzle the eyes in the pit when the hands are raised in applause in the box. You would think the stars had dropped down from the sky and consented to do duty a while, when you behold this ornament in all its magnificence. The harness, when finished and adjusted, resembles nothing so much as a glove, the delicate short chains torming the stitching. Some women want the harness for only one hand, claiming it is in better taste, though both hands may be encased in this golden chain armor if there are jewels enough in the family safe deposit vault to go around. ‘There is another design for the newest new in jewelry, and that {s made by run- ning the spun gilt chains from each ring down the back of the hand to the wrist, and there attaching it to the bracelet. When this style is adop¥ed the chain is set with round semi-precious stones, the topaz, garnet, carbuncle an®some others forming a rope or twist where every color of the rainbow is to be found. The triple rings that go with this affair are curiosities in themselves. They are evidently made in this shape in order to facilitate the donning of this somewhat complicated bit of Qaintines: That is, it is complicated when the harness is off the bhand and lying in its purple satin nest. The greater display of glitering stones the better every well-regulated girl likes it, and in the harness there is immense latitude in the matter of preference for cer- tain gems and the way gems are set. The designs can be multiplied indefinitely al- most, and in the invention of the harness there is ample room for individual choice and originality. For those dor ‘“‘gold caps’ 0 please, there may be added to this already glorious vision of splen- for the finger tips. These are shaped something like a thimble, and 1 all the rest of the list. joined to the rings with chains.
