style. in Engagement Rings.


There Is large variety Of engage
ment rings in vogue at the present
time, among which are some very elab-
crate and unique designs, but, accord
Ing to the New York Advertiser, the
engagement ring that holds popular IA
yor among the young men who are serl-
ously contemplating INDUCING in nup-
tial functions is the solitaire diamond
About two years ago the sapphire, set
with a diamond, was the favorite, be-
cause it signified that the lady to
Whom it was presented was true blue
and innocent, too. The opal is very
rarely, if ever, used as an engagement
ring, because most people are preju-
diced against it through superstition.
MI. Sartoris presented Miss Nellie
nrant, dar ghter Of General; t;yaLt
with an opal engagement ring, which
she refused to accept, in consequence
of which the ring had to be exchanged
foe another. Lindsay Chapman pre-
sented his sweetheart, Miss Gilbert,
with a ruby and diamond engagement
ring which cost him $6,OOO Mrs.
Lynch, from whom the ring was pur-
Chased, has since offered Mr.. Chapman
$4,000 for possession of the ring, but
he refused the offer. Mr.. Keene, the
stock broker, expressed his willingness
to give $1,000 for the ruby alone, but
his proposition was not accepted. The
most expensive ruby that has ever
been imported into this country was
enc that, ut wholesale. cost $50, 900.
1t was retailed to q wealthy Califor-
MAN for almost double that price. A
greater number Of engagement rings
are purchased during the months of
February and April than any other
months in the year. The reason for
this cannot be elucidated, unless it is
because February is the month pre-
vious to Lent and April the month fol
lowing. The different stones are select
ed in accordance with the month Of the
year. If the engagement occurs in
January the stone which represents
that month is the jacienth OF garnet;
if in February the amethyst is appro-
pirate; March, bloodstone; April, sap.
phire; May, emerald; June, agate;
July, ruby; August, sardonyx; Septem-
Der, chrysolyte; October, opal; Novcm-
Der. topaz; December, torqucise.

5 A ';too-domestic" woman Is certain
to cut plans and purposes In music
or, reading, or other of those .:plendid
arts that embcllish wornanhood and ex-
alt motherhood to its highest usefulness.
This is one of the most common re-
suits of oyer-dolnesticity: all the finish
and polish of rarest minds. wrought
through years Of study aad practice,
under masters at home and abroad,
is allowed to tarnish and fade. after
a few years of home life. Attachments
of which families Wee pro IL, IL not
actually dropped through lack Of use
or practice, settle down to a discOurng-
ing mediocrity. The explanation Of this
sad effect lies perfectly plain in its
cause.
Little tasks trivial in themselves, bur-
dens gratuitOusly borne when they be-
longed to some other shoulders, useless
preparation for climbing mountains
that never appeared, countless steps
that system or sensible serenity
would have made unnecessary, these
coming morning, noon an1 night in
one ccaseless procession, day after day,
year after year. render that strange in
trinity of 'over-domcsticity" chronic,
and thus play havoc with the best d.
rected purposes and the most brilliant
gifts. This is an old story.
Not q voice should be raised calling
women and mothers from the fulfil
ment of every detail, Of their highest
duty to the home, but in their fervOr
of consuming love for this blessed In
stitution, they need to have this phase
of the subject called to their minds,
lest, over-zealous. they lose the very
end they SO earnestly seek.
Education but brings to better light
and into more practical range all those
sweet and domestic attributes that re-
side in woman. The myrtle on the
brow of mother is increased power
in her scepter, writes William Q. Co
vert in Childhood. There is no need
of charging to the account of higher
education the chilled affections, the DIS
torted or unnatural inclinations, and
the sluggish domestic aspirations OF
some one educated woman. Education
works no such results. Let us have
more Of it. s.
But let the mother, by every means
possible, Keep fresh in her mind her
dearly bought attainments; keep bright
and FURNISHED her well wrought facul-
ties; and, not abating enc particle OF
interest in her home and its destiny,
bring to it the broad. intelligent love,
and the keen, discriminating wisdom,
Of which her thoroughly furnished,
ever active mind is capable.

Don,t Fear Fat,,cr Time.

Is it worth a woman's while to be
inaccurate about her age? Does she
not rather lose nowadays by lessening
the number of her years? Assuming
that her object hitherto in setting back
the hand of time has been to render
herself more attractive in the eyes Of
the opposite sex, it must be obvious,
says the Lady's Pictorial, to close OBJ
servers of the men and manners Of
to-day that it is not the maiden Of
"bashful 15' nor the girl Of sweet 20
who finds favor in the sight of either
the gilded youth or the man of the
world. The threshold of womanhood
no longer invites them. sweet II is
out of date, immaturity is not attrac-
tive. 1t is nowadays only the woman
who has ARRIVED" who can fascinate
the weary, pessimistic youth of the
period; it is only the experienced ma
tron who, understanding the faults and
follies of man. can render herself
sufficiently reasonable companion to
him when lie comes to years of dis
erection. The Observation-Disclosures miss,
the comparatively inexperienced maid
en-, nay, even the very young matron,.
are hopelessly tout of it, at the pres
ent. 1t Is the hour of maturity, and
the woman has triumphed over the
girl. She may now be anything over
80 to hold sway, provided always that
she keeps herself 80 in heart and face.
She must look attractive. she must
have the power to attract. She must
possess tact and Judgment, and then
she can snap her fingers at time and
boldly set down what she likes on the
census paper. At, all events she need
no longer dread the attachments of
her third decade. for it is then that
her reign begins. Not until then does
she begin to understand the manage
ment of man. He does not want to be
regarded as a school girls ideal, to
live on bliss and kisses and eternally
play the jeune premier. He wants
companionship. he wants to have his
faults recognized and openly discussed,
and he knows that with her ripened
experience the woman will not expect
too much of him nor invest him with
a halo Of romance. neither has she
mere matrimonial designs upon him.
So has she outrivaled her younger
sisters, even her own daughters, and
thus need she no longer fear the taking
of the census and the revelation of her
age.

RIVERSIDE, MAY 26.-The first annual
meeting of the members OF the River
side Fruit exchange was held here to-
day. A large representation OF orange
growers was present, and the meeting
was enthusiastic and business-like. A
report OF the work done by the exchange
for the season Just closing WAS read and
adopted. The report showed that the
work OF the exchange has been satlsfsc-
tory, considering the burdens OF the
organization and other draw backs caused
by the unfavorable season. The general
plan under which the exchange was
operated the past season was
endorsed after some few changes
had been made. resolution was
adopted to the effect that the general
plan i'll use during the past year be ad-
hered to. Matters bearing on the hand
ling of future crops of oranges were dis
cussed at length. The report of sales
made by the exchange shows that
1916. 900 has been distributed by the
district associations, and there ia a
balance Of $52, 900 yet to be divided. An
estimate of the amount OF fruit ct to
ship. places it at SO carloads. Consider
ing the wide spread of financial depres-
sion, the YEARS. figures are considered
