Rather Embarrassing To the Girl

young woman brought a ring to a Jew
eler the other day and requested him to reset
the stone, which she said was loose She
spoke Of 1t as a diamond solitaire. The lew
eler took the ring and said he would attend
to it. As the customer was leaving the store
the Jev7eler called her back and said; This
stone IS glass, ma'am-I want you to under
stand that
The young woman colored up and exclaim-
cd with wrath in her voice. Its no such
thing-it's real diamond Glass, indeedl"
Excuse me, ma'am," politely rejoined the
Jeweler, lit is nothing more than piece of
common crystal or glass. There is no doubt
whatever about itn
But 1t was a present given to me last Christ
mas by very dear friend who wouldn't
think Of giving ME a sham diamond, j" the
young woman persisted
I'm sorry, ma'am, replied the jeweler.
somebody's been deceived very likely, but
this stone is absolutely worthless; a chip of
glass"
Well, the young woman argued still fur
ther about the ring and insisted it was very
valuab Q, and at last took it away with her,
saying that she would take it somewhere else
to be repaired She was nearly in tears when
she left the store.
After she had gone the jeweler said to me.
Il did not want to hurt that girls feelings,
but when ring of that kind is given to me
TO be repaired l always make it a practice of
having it clearly understood that the stone is
valueles If did not l should run the risk
OF having that young woman come back after
she had discovered that the stone was not a
diamond, and accuse me of changing it In the
resetting Such a charge was once made
against me under circumstances of this kind,
and since then l have followed a cautious
policy for my own protection. That girl was
honest, I've no doubt, but cannot afford to
take any chances. ."-Pittsburg Dispatch
