BARBARIC JEWELRY.

Gammed Anklets Are Now Worn Over Stockings. The craze for barbaric jewelry, especially sets of Persian or Indian design, has reached a tremendous vogue, all of the real articles having gone up in price and a great many good imitation . ornaments being now on the market. Some beautiful specimens are anklets of beaten silver and gold, a Persian anklet set with semiprecious stones nnd a beautiful Indian necklace made of braided silver set with turquoises and emeralds. The Venetian beads which were so popular a few years ago have given way to heavier jewels of a semiprecious character, chains of gold and silver ornaments, and especially to plaques of jewels, gold and enamel, worn on the breast and suspended by a slender chain. Among the many other jewels which form novelties of the season are the extraordinary Anger rings and hand harnesses, consisting of one or more rings, a bracelet and a jewel for the back of the hands. This Is distinctly an oriental fashion and has not been seen on the stage until the present time. ' ,
