Jewels That Deck Queen.

At almost all the court function* which have been so numerous this month the queen’s preference for diamonds over any other jewels has been invariably manifested*. Beautiful a* are sapphires, emeralds and other colored stones, it is certain that no gem can compete with diamonds in brilliance of effect They are the court stones par excellence and set off the magnificence of a court toilet as no other jewel can. Diamonds are particularly becoming to the queen, and her majesty never looks better than when wearing her high crown of alternate Maltese crosses and fleurs de Ils and her dog collar of diamonds of lattice work design. Queen Alexandra, on the other hand, had a marked preference for pearl* and colored stones, particularly amethyst*, of which her majesty possesses a beautiful parure, which doe* not form part of the crown jewels but 1* her own private property.—London Gentlewoman.
