Chic little ornamanta of this sort are, designed, in the various aports patterns, jookey caps, riding crops spurs, and bridles. A pair of gold and platinum Mar- cury wings fornfs one of the newest things from a Parisian designer; and these are reproduc- ed in gilt, to be worn on gold lame evening slippers.
Arrows, birds, wide winged insects, and, lately, classic heads, in motul or carvad stones, are shown among the handsome or- naments.
