One of tbe Latest Fads. Some lovers, not satisfied with the ring as an outward and visible sign of their eternal love, arc now exebang j ing eyes—not their own eyes, of course, i but very good imitations of them. The engagement eye is framed in gold and j painted on ivory, and is set round with | precious stones. It mnst be an exact reproduction of the human and indjvidua! window, not enlarged or beautified. but painted as it is. Every model must give his or her artist at least three sittings before the right shade and the perfect expresion can be transferred to the little ivory replica. Covetous persons are always in want; it is our wants, not our needs, which make us poor.
