The topic of the week is the robbery of the Duchess of Sutherland's jewelry during her journey from Paris to Calais last Monday. They are valued at over £20.000 and are mainly mounted diamonds and pearls; sapphires, emeralds and turquoises in smaller proportion. Garrards, the London Court jewelers, and Ochs, of Paris, supplied most of the goods. Sir Albert Rollit, M. P., is fairly well known to the trade, he and the duchess having lent their services in other ways besides the purchasing and losing of jewelry.

A WEDDING PRESENT FROM THE HOUSE OF COMMONS



On the occasion of her marriage, which took place last week, Lady Sykes received a wedding present from members of the House of Commons. It consisted of a massive silver tea and coffee service and tray, a reproduction of a specimen George I service. It was made by Messrs. Garrard and Co., Limited, Goldsmiths to the Crown, of 24, Albemarle Street, London, W., and is distinguished by its simplicity and perfection of form. Upon the two-handled tray appears the following inscription : ‘Presented to Miss Isabel Law, daughter of the Rt. Hon. Andrew Bonar Law, M.P., the Leader of the House of Commons, on her marriage to Major-General Sir Frederick Hugh Sykes, G.B.E., K.C.B., C.M.G., on 3rd June, 1920, by Mr. Speaker, the Rt. Hon.

One of the most beautiful trophies to be awarded at the International Horse Show is that given by King George V., who is a patron of the show, for a jumping competition by individual officers of any nationality. The trophy is a powerfully-conceived and finely-executed model in 18-carat gold, representing Saint George slaying the dragon. The group stands over thirteen and a-half inches in height, and is mounted on a plinth of Brazilian onyx in a delicate shade of green veined with reddish brown tints. It has been made by Messrs. R. and S. Garrard of 25, Haymarket, Goldsmiths to the Crown, whose design was chosen in open competition.
