MADE HER OWN CHATELAINE

Good yse of Silver Ornaments by Girl Who Was Possessed of Originality. Arranging some of her silver ornaments to be especially useful is the work of a,girl who has just gone into mourning and does not wish to buy a nice black purse bag. Considering that silver was permissible with black in which there was no creJSjjshe a chatelaine, using an oxidized silver chain on which to string them. The chain was one that had been used for keys by the departed relative, and, in order that the cable it represented should be formed into a hook, the girl removed the original fastening and substituted a small silver slip ring, through which each end of the chain passed. Then it remained only for her to put on a silver card case, which depends from a short chain of its own; a silver coin purse, a tiny box of the same metal, in which she carries a powder puff, and a silver backed ivory memorandum tablet In her card case she keeps such of her money as is in bills, the coins, of course, going into the tiny purse. When she wishes to have the case for its original purpose, in the afternoon, she has- only to open the slip ring and off comes the short chain.
