It's a mighty pretty one too. bt place of the long silver pin that has hith- 1; erto secured the girl's blossom bunches ' •> ̂ at waist or upon corsage, we now have silver and gold pins, even longer than ' ' JJJ those of the past, and finished with fth '. ̂ enameled bloom having a jeweled oen- ter. ' \ v There are rosebuds, violets, pansies, • forgetmenots, lilies, carnations \ -3'"• many more. So you see it is possible to • - secure any flowers you are likely to wear with a floral pin that matches. The jewels which center the enameled £ blooms are in most cases of the same that. For instance, a plump little red rose half hides with its petals a small ruby; a clus- "j ' ter of lilies of the valley hdld, each of them, pearls; forgetmenots have tur­ quoise and diamond centers, and olivines vein the leaves. Of course in order to have on hand a flower pin to match, any flower she may wear mademoiselle must needs start a collection. The souvenir spoon fad was nothing to it. As one girl puts it, "It's a matter of dress, you know, and when it oomes to decking her person the wom­ an frivolous to encourage a fad will do it every time in preference to furnishing i her table or filling her cabinets."--New i York Mail and Express. : * f ,.;t ' 7 • New Steel Process. • ^ j,r,^ A new method of producing steel ?M0 % been suggested to M.

He claims that it is successful. > f The steel is instantaneously made by' | placing a bar of iron and a stick of char-} $ coal together in a parallel direction in; an electrical firebrick furnace of a tem-i perature of 1,000 degrees and subjecting! them to a strong current. M. Jules Qar-i nier expects that his discovery will revo-' lutionize the steel industry.--Exchange ̂ 21 Do NOT forget if you want a first Auctioneer, to caii on F. K. Granger McHenry.
