At about q or 2s the average woman
begins to get stout, or let us call 10 plump.
The girl who from "a to 81 had an ideal
figure begins now to get too much. Now
is the time-not to tighten up, but TO loosen.
Proportion is the important beauty of a
figure. not a small waist. The proportion

There has never been a fad which pos
sessed more delicate touch OF sentiment
than the one which induces the fair society
girl to refrain from wearing any Jewels save
her natal gem, says the Post Dispatch. The
predominating novelty now in vogue is the
natal ring. The sweet girl who made her
debut on this mundane sphere amid the suns
and sho vera of an April day should wear
no other gems throughout her life than the
sparkling diamond.
A pretty gift for ian April girl" is a
ring made of tiny diamonds set entirely
around the finger, while diminutive rep
resentation OF her favorlte flower in dla-
monds adorns the top. IL the fair damsel

woman.
The stone sacred to May is the handsome
emerald. A suitable gift for the girl whose
birthday occurs In this month is a ring OF
tiny emeralds with 4-leat clover studded
with emeralds for It's top.
October's child "who is born for Woe"
will laugh the superstition to scorn, if you
will only bestow opals upon her. No doubt
she will quote to you:
But lay an opal on her breast,
And hope will hull those woes to rest.
An appropriate gift for this young lady
Is a delioste bangle made of fire opals, the

a large OPAL family outlined with gold.
At recent wedding the bride wore a
pearl necklace OF exquisite beauty, the gift
OF the bridegroom. Pearls were her natal
gems and as they are symbolic Of purity
and all feminine virtues it seemed to be the
perfection Of wedding gift for the Feb
uary girl.
Society girls wear about the neck a fine
gold chain, with a little heart formed Of
their own special gems suspended from it,
An interesting gri who is somewhat par
tial to fads wears about her neck a tiny
gold chain, from which are suspended four
exquisite gsrnets. Shs will exp ain her
partiality for these gems by informing you
that they are her lucky stones, as she was
born in January. She has restricted the
number Of stones to four, for the reason
that she is the fourth daughter. and thinks
this ou excellent method of impressing it
upon her memory. Undoubtedly she is
right. but if, for instance, she we're daugh-
tor No. 8, and the diamond her natal stone,
it ia quite possible that her father might be
cruel enough to devise some other means Of
refreshing her memory.
A small girl, says the New York Re
corder, who had been making her visit
alone last month returend home Just in
time for her Saturday night Tubing. Az
ter the additions her mother found that the
little feet had been a good deal neglected
during the childs absence and proceeded to
trim the nails, the patient observing the
operation intently. She was especially i'm
pressed with size of the crescent that was
trimmed from the great too.
As she made her way to bed at the con-
clusion of the performance she caught sight
of the Young moon hanging in the western
sky and stopped with cry OF delight. 80
mamma, look look there |" she cried. "Just
see, God has been cutting his toe nall"
There is an old farmer out In Jersey, SAYS
the New York Recorder, who has as great
g detestation Of flirting as was ever cher
ished by the mikado himself, and il was a
great shock to him one evening at church
when he caught his l4-year old-daughter
exchanging glances and smiles with a
neighbours son a couple Of years older. The
old gentleman unused over the problem al /
the way home, aud finally hit upon au
expedient which he only awaited the oppor-
tunity to put into practice.
This was not long in coming. AS he
turned a corner of the road the next day he
caught a glimI SO of the young couple GU
the road ahead of him, walking along, hand
in hand, and even as he paused SPECIFICS, he
saw them exchange a kiss That settled it.
With few strides he had overtaken tn o
culprits and was marching them Off to his
barn, which stood in a prominent position
close by the high road. A shout brought
out the hired man, and In a twinkling the
old granger mad slipped an ox-bow over his
victims heads. Then he seated them on the
doorstep and kept them there for one mortal
hour, calling the attention OF all passers-by
to my two calves I'm breakin in."
At the end of the time he released the
prisoners, who made all haste to put as
much distance between one another as pos
sible.
Aud now they don't even speak when
they pass by.
