oPALs nosy.r co m THE BowERy.
Tfse Reason Is Part Superstition and Part
Inability to BE Faxed


Among the gems and precious stones
that make tho Bowery shop windows brill
liant it is very seldom that an opal can be
found When one is seen it is pretty sure
to be small, opaque and lusterless. Dia-
nionds, sapphires, rubies, emeralds, pearls,
Rmethysts, gaInets, carbuncles, topazes and
many other jewels, together with the irni-
tation thereof, can be found in plenty, but
the opal is q rare specimen. A man who
spends much of his time in watching the
pawnshops and sale stores Of that thorough
fare for good bargains asked pawnbroker
why it was that in three years hehad never
seen a good opal displayed. He got this
explanation:
"Opals don't go here. They won't sell
much IL this part of town, and when we do
get hold of a good one, which is seldom, we
don't'put it in the window, but take it to
some up town jeweler. The reason is this,
in my opinion: Most people are supersti-
tious about opals particularly the classes
with which we mostly deal, east siders and
sporting men. People who live on the east
side don't wear opals, generally speaking,
on account Of the i'll luck that is supposed
to go with them Most gamblers, too, be-
ieve that the many colored gems bring bad
luck, but net all Those who do wear them
are superstitious about them in this respect,
that they regard the opal as sort of per
sonal mascot, and having once got one they
will part with everything else first. have
known many gam bier to go hungry with
5000 opal 90 his finger or in his scarf
''They say that tie stone foretells their
luck, paling when bad luck is ahead and
growing brillian. before good fortune. The
gambler with an opal will often go a week
or more without playing because his opal
Is dull in color, The fact is that opals de-
pend for their color largely on the weather
When there is moisture in the air, they
brighten, and in dry times they are dull.
The few opals that the pawnshops do catch
are mostly from women's rings and are
small and poor in quality"
Such were the views of the shopkeeper
But there Is one reason for the scarcity of
opals in the Bowery which he found it ex-
pedient not TO mention. A ward detective,
who is familiar with the region gives this
explanation:
You can't fake an opal. Diamonds and
rubies and sapphires and almost any other
stone can be initiated so we'll that only an
expert can tell the difference. The Bowery
windows are full Of real stones put right
next to fake stones When greeny comes
in to buy, he is likely to pay for the real
thing and have it changed right under his
nose. But anybody that's got two eyes can
tell good opal from poor one There
isn't much chance of a pawnbroker selling
an opal for four times what it's worth, and
there's no chance of his selling an imita-
ton. Consequently opals are not popular
in the Bowery shops. New York Sun.

Riggs of Georgetown. Herbert S. Bowker
OF Phipsburg, James E. Flynn of Rich
| mond, J.E. Whitney of Topsham, James
| H. Blinn of Woolwich.
