the yachting standpoint but enthusiastic over their re-' 
eeption, their generous entertainment and social recog- 
nition. Last Saturday night, seventy-five guests were 
present at the Eastern Yacht club at the dinner in 
honor of the Spanish visitors and Sunday evening. they 
turned hosts for the ladies of the members, a very 
elaborate affair, when the superintendent loaned his 
private and valuable silver and china, gold chairs and 
candelabra for the spread of forty-six covers in behalf 
of the Spanish entertainers. Monday evening of this 
week another dinner for sixty-four was tendered by 
Commodore Lewis F. Clark of the Eastern to the Span- 
iards, Lieut. Governor Frothingham representing Gover- 
nor Draper on this occasion. Commodore Clark has also 
dene much entertaining on his fine schooner yacht, ‘‘The 
Emerald’’ during the international races, being particu- 
larly hospitable to the Spanish yachtsmen, to whose 
crews he presented individual gold match boxes as 
souvenirs. On Monday evening a feature of that gather- 
ing at the Eastern was the presentation of the cups for 
winners in the individual races. 
Wednesday of this week the President Taft and 
Draper cups were presented on board the Mayflower.

JEWELS OF THE PRESENT DAY. 
In speaking of Jewels today, one thinks not of a dia- 
nond, or a ruby, or an emerald, set in a chunk of gold 
with heavy arms to hold it, but rather of a piece whose 
work shows, besides the quality of the stones, the con- 
ception of an artist whose life has been devoted to th 
study of such designing. 
‘“What an original idea,’’ exclaimed one recently on 
looking at a jewel just finished, not. realizing that the 
lines of such a stomacher may have appeared in the 
gates of one of the old Chateaux of France or the 
Churches of Italy. The best in art followed the Italian 
Renaissance to the time of Francois Premier and then 
on, as one facetiously remarked, to that Louis family, 
meaning Louis XIV., XV. and XVI., and the examples: 
shown in architecture, furniture and embroideries, gives 
us the basis for our present day perfection in jewel 
designing which has created such beautiful effects. 
It is not enough that one has a stone of quality or size 
to wear, for to have it shown to the best advantage, it 
must be set in its proper place and amidst proper sur- 
roundings' and how to do it becomes the work of an 
artist. He rarely creates, for the beauty of the past 
generations gives him ideas to copy, if not exactly, at any 
rate, the foundation, and from that is evolved the lace- 
like jewels of today which in all ages will be considered 
objects of the highest art. 
Each branch of the work, however, is as important as 
the other, as unless the stones used are brilliant and fine 
color, the finished piece will look dull; if the lines used 
to surround the centre are too strong or too light, then 
its importance is diminished or magnified, and if the 
workman who moulds the piece cannot interpret the 
feeling of the artist while making it, then the happiness 
has left. and the result is pitiful. 
The standards necessary for a Jewel Merchant are - 
higher perhaps than any other line of business, for it is: 
one where confidence plays so great a part; and it is not 
always the care of his own goods which is so important, 
but the care of others’ which may be entrusted to his 
safe keeping. 
The purchase of a Jewel is perhaps the least extrava- 
gant one that can be made, for when does a diamond 
wear out, or an emerald go out of style, or a pearl cease 
to be desirable? Since the time of Cleopatra, that 
Sourceress of the Nile, pearls were valuable and rare 
and desired by women and to the end of the world will 
be, and what other thing can we buy that will have such 
a lasting value? Silks or satins, laces or tapestries, fur- 
niture or automobiles, all wear out and like the tiny 
brook, Jewels wear on forever. 
The house of Dreicer & Co., of NewYork, with a branch 
at the Colonnade in Magnolia, typifies the highest stand- 
ard of excellence in all branches of the art of Jewels. 
With a corps of six French designers, a shop of their 
own, cutting works where most of their largest diamonds 
are cut in this country and all under the constant super- 
vision of the firm, they are, without doubt, the leaders in 
the Jewel business, and’ their dealings in Pearls are 
equalled by none in the world. stip es ae 
The $500,000 Pearl necklace exhibited in their studios 
last week, was the work of perhaps five years of assem-’ 
bling and embraced pearls from some of the famous col- 
Icctions sold during that time. Its equal has never been. 
offered, intact and an artist in words could searce de- 
scribe the lights and shadows, the color and tone and the 
air of importance it possesses. Each pearl seems. to speak 
and it.is with a‘feeling of awe that one views this:re- 
markable creation of nature. -
