HER JEWELED COMB<br />

Mounting the Stones<br />

In the manufacture of the<br />

elaborately studded tor­<br />

toise-shell back and side<br />

combs so much in demand<br />

today, the first process is<br />

illustrated by the photo­<br />

graph below. An operator<br />

with an electric drill pains­<br />

takingly cuts out a tiny set­<br />

ting for each jewel in tin-<br />

intricate pattern. Then a<br />

"placer"—usually a girl—<br />

sets in the stones with<br />

tweezers, heating t b e m<br />

upon an electric stove and<br />

cementing them a trifle to<br />

make them stick.
