Dickens' Fad for Jewelry.

The eccentricities of Dickens included aa exceeding fondness for gaudy jewelry, of which he wore a great quantity. No( «nly were his fingers covered with i esnalderable number of rings brilliantly set, but his person was adorned with all kinds of flashy gems. He specially delighted in his two watches, one in each lower pocket of his waistcoat, across which stretched a huge chain.—The Bunday Magaalne.
