"Mr. Bayne went to the French op era. It was a grand new sight, one of inspiration lo him. He was sitting at the writing itesk in his room at the St. Charles when the Picayune man enter ed. and it so happened that he was at that moment writing a letter to his pa per. describing his impressions of the opera which he had seen the night previous.

The new- watch** are gems of art. very small, enamelled and jewelled, preferably worn on chatelaines. The most striking of all the novelties is a very heavy chain of massive silver links to be worn around the waist, to one end of which is fastened a silver vinaigrette with a large space for a monogram. Diamonds of course hold their own. and the display in the large front case is the most superb ever seen in Au gusta. There are no specially new set tings; but among the pins, the harvest moon Is the latest design. In spite of the superstition against them, opals are all the rage, and hundreds of opal rings are purchased from the extensive assortment. Hatpins, stickpins and wreath-pins are shown in many novel patterns.- and there is a great variety of the new style bangle bracelets.
