THE SILVER CRAZE.
Artistic Silver Ornament* Which Ha»e
Taken the Place of Gold.
[Special Correspondence.]
New Yob*, Oct. 17.—"Silver has the lead
for street jewelry now," remarked an uptown
jeweler to me the other day. "If you notice
you will hardly see a gold ornament of any
kind upon a really fashionable woman, ex-
eept in evening dress. And while gold ia go-
ing out for street wear, silver is taking tfia
place of baser metals for many purposes. It
h an English fashion, und a sensible one, too,
though, like most good fashions, it is now
carried to an extreme. Gold is thought loud,
and the woman Who displays much gold on
the streets takes a place alongside the shoddy
dame who Wears diamonds and a camel's
hair shawl to do her marketing. The result
is oeneflcial to this country, where so large an
amount of silver is produced, and the manu-
facture of silver jewelry has made
a new industry. Here, for example, is a
hat pin of silver filagree," he added, taking
from the show case a delicate rose that
looked like frosted lace work. "It is made of
fine silver wire, 'leu years ago all this style
of silver work was imported from Genoa and
Venice. Today we can make it better and
cheaper in this country. That pin retails for
$1.50. In gold it would cost $15."
"Has not the silver craze made a difference l
in the sale of gold ornaments?" I asked,
"Not so much as one would suppose. Gold
still holds its place for evening wear and the
settings of diamonds and other stones. Silver
has largely driven washed and rolled gold
out of the city market, though a large trade
is springing up in silver plate. More than
half of these great silver girdles which are so
fashionable are of silver plate and cost from
$1 to $5. The same patterns, solid, sell at
from $10 to $100; so you see the
difference. Silver is used for every
possible purpose. The dude is poor, indeed,
who does not sport a silver handled umbrella
or cane. Penknives, razors, fans, pocketbooks,
match, cigar and cigarette cases, paper
knives, mountings for hand bags, backs of
brushes and button hooks are also artistically
made up in silver. Then, too, solid silver is
largely taking the place of brass and pewter
composition for hooks and eyes, safety pins
and tven common pins. When s.lver scratches
tb< Akin it does not poison as the composition
pftmdo. "In fact," said my friend, growing
•iithusiastic and making a mental calculation
»he while, "I can lit out a young lady with
silver ornaments. Hat pins, hair pins,
brooches, dress buttons, collar buttons, safety
pins for underwear, necklace, girdle, bangles
and finger rings. The whole outfit will weigh
fifty pounds and cost about $1,500."
"But no woman would carry fifty pounds
of silverware on her person," 1 objected.
"You don't know what a r.-oman will do
when it comes to a matter of dress. I will
wager that there are lots of young' girls on
Broadway this afternoon who would be ex-
hausted if they were obliged to makeup their
own beds, who are carrying around twenty-
five pounds of silver jewelry and enjoying it.
Gf course, the most expensive patterns of sil-
ver jewelry frequently contain the least sil-
ver, the cost being in the elaborate workman-
ship. Solid plates of heavy silver for brace-
lets, necklaces and girdles find but little
favor. The fancy is more for ornaments of
silver wire made up into various artistic
forms. A novelty in silver plating which
has but lately been perfected has already
become very popular. It is done by electro-
plating natural objects with a thin shell of
silver. Anything can be,treated in this way.
Knotted cane heads which, were they carved
by the old process, would cost from $25 to
$50, can be plated over the wood for $3 or $5.
Here is a fly electroplated, and here is a nius-
quito. Of course it is a perfect reproduction
of the insect, because the insect itself
is inside. This geranium leaf and this bit of
lace is made in the same way. The process
is to a certain extent a secret. It used to be
impossible to make the silver in the battery
attach itself to glass, porcelain, wood or
animal matter. The discovery consists in a
liquid with which the articles are coated, and
enables us to plate them with any metal. A
gilded youth might be a glittering actuality
by means of this process. To reproduce a
bit of lace as perfectly as this, or to make
this gerauium leaf by the old process, would
have taken the labor of a skilled artist en-
graver several days. Now it can to done,
much more accurately, by the battery in a
few hours. Glass pitchers and jugs can be
covered with a delicate tracery of silver plat-
ing, and the broader parts can be etched in
the most artistic patterns."
"What is the effect of these improvements?"
I asked. "Do they not take away the occu-
pation of a skilled workman?"
"Not at all," answered my friend quickly.
"The skilled workmen find abundant employ-
ment on more expensive work, and it puts
beautiful things within the reach of the mil-
lions, educates the publio taste, and really
creates a demand for more truly beautiful
and artistic things. Improvements will never
hurt the skilled workmen; they know how to
profit by them. It is the unskilled and care-
less mechanic who suffers. Artistically, the
silver craze has been an excellent thing. It
enables people of moderate means to have
really beautiful things, and it is a direct blow
to the inappropriate display of gold orna-
ments and expensive and flashy jewelry on the
utreets." Allan Fokman,
The French Canadian.
It has been said that Frenchmen cannot
be denationalized, The French Canadian
is a strong evidence of the truth of this
statement. He is as French in thought,
speech and manner as were his forefathers
who came from France 200 years ago. I
had always thought that the Scotch, as a
rule, held to their manners, customs and
language with more than ordinary tenac-
ity. If so, there are wonderful excep-
tions to the rule in several places on the
St, Lawrence. After the conquest of
Canada the English gave several grants
of land to a Scotchman named Malcolm
Frazer, who settled many families on iU
I saw quite a number of Frazers and Mc-
Nabs who could not speak a word of Eng-
lish. They were Scotch in Appearance,
but French in everything else It was
very odd to hear these sandy haired,
freckle faced Scotchmen say in French
that they could not speak English, or tc
hear some speak English with the French
accent,.—J. Annoy Knox in Chicago Her-
ald.
