exclaimed with wrath in her voice: "It'i
no such thing-it's u real diamond.
Glass, indeed !"
"Excuse me, ma'am," politely re

last Christmas by n very dear friend who
wouldn't think OF giving me sliam
diamond" the young woman persisted
"lm sorry, ma'am," replied the jew
eler, somebody's been deceived yer,
likely, but this stone is absolutcly worth
less; n chip of glass"
Well, the young woman argued still
further about the ring and insisted il
was very valuable, and a last took i
away with her, saying thu. she woult
take it somewhere else TO be repaired
She was nearly in tears when she left til,
store.

is given to me to be repaired always
make it practice of having it clearl,
understood that the stone is valuelcss
If did not should run the risk O

was not diamond, and accuse me Of
changing it IN the resctting. Such /
