Who first beholas the light of day
n SPRINGS sweet fowery month OF May,
And wears an Emerald all her life,
Shall be loved and happy wife.
Who comes with Summer to this earth,
And owes to June her dag of birth,
With ring of Agate on her hand
Can health, wealth and long life command.
The glowing Ruby should adorn
Those Nhc in warm July are born;
Then will they be exempt and free
From loves doubts and anxiety;
Wear SarGonyx. or for thee
10 con5usal felicity;
Tie AUgus,-burn without this stone,
lis S2lu must live unlOVed and lone.
A maiden born when Autumn leaves
Are rustling in Septembe.'s breeze,
a Sapphire on her brow should bind
Twill cure diseases Of the mind.
October's child is born for woe,
aud LIES vlcissitudes must know:
But lay an Opal Oh her breast
And hope viii lull tlUse woes to rest.
Who first comes To this world below
With drear November's fog and STOW,
Shouid prize the Topaz's amber hue
Emblem OF friends and lovers true,

The mo .th OF snow and ice and mirth-
Race on your band Turquoise blue
Success viii bless whate'er you do.
Consult the verses above and discover
what stone you NAV claim as birth stone
ard then i. you wish to be very unique for
time and can afford a fad OF more or less
expense purchase the jewels in as much e1-
travagance as good taste will permit and
never appear without them. Make them con-.
tribute 10 your personality, as Russell would
Say, and give You pronounced individuality.
Of course, one must. exercise Judgment in
adopting fad that will affect their good looks

tracing from them, especially if one is unfor-
tunate enough 10 claim an amethyst birth stone

ever, and the purse NOT antagoniStic, there is
nothing more chic. and, according TO the Jewell

The quaint, pretty conceit.
Engagement Rings and Lockets.
IN fact, that is about the only business the |
jewellers are doing nowadays-at least one of |
them conhded as much to me yesterday and |
soundly mathematical the young men for not |
making engagement rings and lockets more |
necessary. The sale for the latter he said had |

coEeeit in presuming that The matter OF en- /
gagements rested entirely with the gentlemen,
and, perhaps without intending to be SO, was |
slightly unjust to his own sex

Very Interesting Young Couple.
One engagement, however, has been an.
nounced during the past week, and very i'm
portant one in society circles 1t is, too. The lady
IS Miss Clara Morgan, the daughter of
Colonel A. :. Al. Morgan, and the gentleman |
Is Joseph 3. Shea son OF c. 3. Shea. The
young people are fairly showed under with
congratulations, as the match meets the ap-
prOyal Of host CT friends, among whom the
aIianced pair are very popular on account of
superior personal attractions and accomplish
ments. The wedding will take place in the
early fall, and it is possible it may be a double
wedding, as The engagement of Miss Morgan's
SISTER, MISS Julia, TO w. II. Singer was some
time ago made public.
The Kisses Morgan are both beautiful and
talented girls, and, as members OF the Tuesday

admiration in character representation They

The Masculine Eye for Dress
Talk about a woman being more obseryapt OF
dress than man-nonsensel Even the younger
generation Of mascuiinity can discount them.
