The young Civil Servant, no matter what may be the state of his pocket, has to assume and maintain the appearance of a gentleman. But, be this as it may, there is no more occasion for a Civil Servant to "wear his heart upon his sleeve" than for some of those who live in high places to do so. It is a well-known fact that if all the jewellery worn at the Drawing-Rooms had to pass an official test a good many names would be absent from the list of those who had the honour of kissing hands. Such being the case, it would be an uncalled-for piece of self-denial and a doubtful act of economy for Civil Servants, with their distinctions in the way of salaries, and unlimited demands upon limited means, to forego the possession of a watch or other article of jewellery, until their means would justify the purchase of nothing but the genuine article. These remarks are particularly appropriate in connection with an illustrated catalogne we have received showing forth the many and wonderful designs obtainable in oroide jowellery, and manufactured by Mr. C. C. Rowe, of No. 92, Brompton Road. It is questionable if anyone, without the aid of chemicals, could notice the least difference; in fact; the probabilities are that the Oroide would be selected as the real gold. Accurate timekeepers, having the appearance of 20-guinea watches, are produced at 50s. There are so many things equally deserving of notice that we must recommend a visit, which we are sure will be gratifying. FURNITURE, LUGGAGE, GLASSES, PIANOFORTES, CARRIAGES, &c., &c.
