II have an aunt who lives in Orange, and
one day she went home from New York
with $40 in her purse. She wGs on the
ferryboat, and just as they were landing,
some one behind her gave her shawl such a
jerk that 1t slipped off her shoulders She
threw up her hands to catch it aud some
one just took the purse out Of her hand over
her shoulder. She couldn't tell who it was
In the crowd, and she lost the purse. She

ing spent the money in New York"

"You might carry your money in the
bosom Of your gown" suggested yellow
head. You know they say woman will
carry any thing there, from a diamond
ring to pair of rubbers and a mackin-

said the other desperately. They are not
allowed to have pockets. and If they wear
belt bags or carry shopping bags or purses
they are liable to have them snatched, and
if they put money into their gowns or their
gloves 1t spoils the fit, and IL they put in
their shoes or stockings they can't get at it.

After the momentous question has been
asked and satisfactorily answered, the next
thing TO be considered is the ring, SAYS the
New York AdUert iSer

what kind of stones? Shall the ring be a

be broad gold fetter which shall proclaim
to every one its Significance.
Pearls are very popular this season, and
there are so many different kinds Of pearls
that great latitude is allowed. The gold

a gold covering as II it were a white pearl

color it makes a beautiful ring and one

for her engagement token.
Another ring, which is also somewhat
different from the usual run of these
things, consists of gold flower like design,
IN the center Of which there is a diamond.
The gold is arranged in leaves or petals as
IL it were a large rose and the diamond
peeps out from the center.
Still another ring consists or five small
flowers set upon q band of gold, with a
pearl in the center of each flower. The
pearls this time are pink pearls. and as

golden flowers they look as II they might

The large snowy marquis ring continues
to be popular. although it is, or it may be,
less expensive than the smaller rings In

are very fine and very expensive, and to be

woman takes into account at all the value
of the ring. Il is all the sentiment, and
not at all the cost, which weighs with her.
