I will venture 90 say that there is not
a single Frcnchwoman who pays any at
tention to dress at all who has not per-
fectly distinct idea Of what she can wear
and what she cannot. She knows what are
her good points and what are her poor ones
and how 70 bring the good ones into relief
and skillfuly conceal the others. And even
when she IS uncOmpromisingly plain, she
audaciously makes the most Of her plain
ness and becomes what Is called a belle
laide. Il was this Kind Of woman that
Balzac had in mind when he said that home
illness could be made as great a charm as
beauty If women only knew how TO use it.
Are her arms too long, she wears sleeves
that "eut them in two" Is her waist too
short, she never wears a belt. And above
everything else she tries to accent anything
individual about herself--to give herself a
little Of the magnetism Of personality"
No one knows how many deficiencies this
may make up for.-Katherine de Forest in

Very few rubies, red sapphires, exceed
five caPats in weight.
Tho most beautiful carnelians are

The Amazon stone is pure feldspar, first

Carnelian is greatly improved by ex-

The diamond has been found on all tho
continents and in almost every country
ON tho globe
Tho pearl is the only gem that does
not require the lapidary's art TO bring
out its beauty.
The diamond is not among the earliest
