Fifth avenue TO be noticed. One young
lady, reported 70 be young and handsome
wears lingering diamonds in her hair. 4
Chicago lady, st aying at the Fifth avenue
alleged to have lived with her present hus
band two weeks without getting divorce,
wears diamond dress-buttons; and even
one of the colored waiters-an African,
too, right from the mines-showed me a
diamond weighin g thirty-seven pounds,
which he offered TO sell to me in the rough
for $4-a clear indication that even the
Africans don't appreciate the treasure they
have found.
This morning lady from Oil City went
into Iiffany's great jewelry store and said
she desired to purchase diamond

up to his private Office. and in the presence
of 400 clerks sat down and wrote his Off

was genuine solitaire. As the lady bore
the certificate from the big jewelry palace
she observed to herself: There's nothing
