It stands on a Br MART JAMES LEACH, Courier-Journal Antique Editor. "A chatelaine, the mistress of a castle," says the dictionary, giving the hint of the origin of the chatelaine, a Victorian gadget collection which has returned to popularity recently. Because the castle housekeeper wore the great keys on a chain fastened to her belt, the large chatelaine pin with its dangling accessories was named for her. Musical tinkles accompany the wearer of a chatelaine, for the many small pendant articles which, swing from tiny chains rattle against each other constantly. 'Hush, here come milady!" says the maid in many a Victorian comedy.

Milady's jingling chatelaine heralded her approach. Her bracelet of tiny heart-shaped lockets and the dangling jet ornaments on her hat clinked in unison above the rustle of her stiff taffeta skirts. The chatelaine shown here is of silver. The pin is six inches wide and from it hang, at regularly spaced intervals, a silver pencil, a knife which contains one blade and a button hook, a smelling salts bottle, a scent bottle and a silver case containing a nail file. The bottles, which are fastened by their silver tops, are of cut-glass.

Such chatelaines were worn at either belt or shoulder. Usually they were fastened securely to the belt. Each article was unfastened as it was used, though the length of the chains sometimes made this action unnecessary. Various articles were hung on chatelaines. Watches, watch keys, tiny fans, glove fasteners, flower-holders and seals were used as chatelaine pendants.

Queen's Chatelaine Described. Queen Charlotte, wife of George and mother of George IV. of England, wore a magnificent chatelaine and watch made by John Gregson, London watchmaker. This chatelaine was set with diamonds against a dark blue enamel background. The chatelaine pin was shaped like a long oval.

The watch was hung as the center pendant. Two seals, a watch key and egg-shaped perfume ball hung from the other pendants. The maker of this chatelaine worked from 1784 to 1800. In the 1750's fashionable young men of London wore almost the counterpart of chatelaines, for their watch chains were heavy with gold tassels, two or three lockets, lozenge-shaped boxes, seals, keys and miniatures. Even their watches were heavily ornamented and jeweled.

Exquisite chatelaines were made in France from 1650 on. Open-faced watches with richly enameled backs were hung as the central pendant of most of these chatelaines. Egg-shaped receptacles for beauty patches, rouge and perfume hung from graduated chains. Sometimes these tiny boxes were of gold, enameled; some were silver, and others were of porcelain. Breguet, a famous French jeweler and watchmaker, made many beautiful and oddly-decorated chatelaines.

Specimens In Cut Steel. The size of the chatelaine gave the early goldsmith a chance to display his native talent, for the back of the watch, which hung from a swivel and an important chain, was lavishly decorated. The watch key handle and the settings of the letter seals were ornamented in similar designs. Charming specimens in cut steel are found. Cut steel jewelry was used during the Eighteenth Century when there was a vogue for anything that reflected light.

Chatelaines were made in many patterns of links. The fashion migrated to France about 1750 and French craftsmen adapted the English designs. Dauffe, a French jeweler, made beautiful cut steel chatelaines. "Pinchbeck," a metal resembling gold, was used for chatelaines from about 1730. Christopher Pinchbeck, who invented the formula for this alloy, made fine watches and miniature cases.

His son, Edward, continued to make articles of pinchbeck. His chatelaines were popular with English ladies who wished to travel in their usual array of pedestal about ton inches high it resembles a telescope with pilots wheel on the end. When the wheel is turned a many colored star can be seen through the lens. Every time the wheel turns the design and colors change. Of what use is this in 95 Staff Photo.

Primitive women in all countries and times carried and used perfumes. Scent balls, perfumes worked into a solid mass, are believed to be the first ornamental "makeup" used by primitive women. Ornaments were stuck into these scent balls, just as Seville oranges once were stuck with cloves and used to scent linen chests. In barbaric tribes pomanders were used. These were perfume cases hung from the girdle.

Usually pomanders were small boxes hinged together in several parts, each of which contained a different spice or scent. About 1750 a single vinaigrette hung from chains fastened to a ring for the finger was used Jn France. Sometimes this vinaigrette was a tiny gold box enameled in color; others were of silver, elaborately engraved. Marquise rings first appeared ebout the last half of the Eighteenth Century.
