Diamonds are more fashionable than
ever. In the evening women are fairly
covered with diamonds, and they are
worn in the day to a great extent.
1t is by no means uncommon to see
ladies out walking with diamonds in
their ears, diamond brooches in the
strings of their bonnets. and diamond
bracelets over their gloves, and even
diamond buckles on their shoes. For
merly, moreover, diamonds were only
worn by married women. Now. how
ever, young girls wear as many jewels
as married women, if they possess
them, and at a recent wedding the
bride created quite a sensation by eX-
hibiting a glittering array of diamonds
in her hair and dress as she walked up
to the altar. Rich people give dia-
monds or plate as wedding presents.
Those who are not so rich or less init
mate give silver; and, in consequence,
the array of silver knickknacks, silver
topped bottles and glasses, and silver
utilities and ornaments of all kinds at
big weddings is usually quite elabo-
rate enough to make very fine show
for a silversmith's whittier,

as the honeymoon is over.-Philadel-

ciety designed for the purpose of facil.
itating the exchange of wealth, it is
not necessary that it shou d be created
out of material that has an intrinsic
value any more than should notes from
one individual to another.
But it is an absolute necessity that
its volume should be uniform for the
a6ove.stated reasons, and for the rea
son that as debts are payable in money
to increase or reduce the volume Of
money in circulation, is to reduce or
ir crease the value of an obligation
calling for a specified sum of money
which would either rob the debtor or
creditor.
If the above theory is the correct
one, then our next national convention
should adopt a financial plank in its
platform calling for a uniform volume
of currency Of $50 per capita to be in.
creased in proportion to the rate Of in.
crease in population, instead of lexi.
BILE volume which the Omaha platform
calls for.
According to Webster's dictionary,
the term "Aexible" means plant or
yielding to pressure. After the volume
of currency is established at its orlgi.
nal volume Of $50 per capita, then, as
it couldn't yield to the pressure Of the
debtor or creditor without rObbing
one or the other, it should yield to
neither.
Another objection to a flexible vol
ume is that it would be in the interest
of Fpeculators who would take advan.
tage of the people by buying when
money was scarce and selling when 1t
was plenty.
The best way to prevent any new
party from absorbing the peoples

that will commend itself to the sense
of Justice of all reasonable men.

Another Money theory.

EDITOR ADvoCATE:-There seems
to be quite difference of opinion,
even among Populists, in regard to the
nature of money. l would like to give
my views on the subject through the
columns of the ADVOCATE, and If they
are not correct, wish you would
show where l miss it, as | think it is
high time for the leaders of our party
to come to an understanding in regard
to the nature aud attributes of a per.
feet financial system.
Money, whether of metal or paper, is
in the nature of note from society to
the individual showing that he has
added certain amount Of wealth ID
the common stock, and that he is en-.
titled to an equivalent in return in
anything on the market to the value of
the wealth he parted with. It shouldn't
be redeemable in any particular kind
of wealth, such as gold and silver, but
in every kind.
AS its value is absolutely In proper
tion to the volume in actual circula-
tion, then it is particularly necessary,
in order to have a perfect or honest
financial system, that the volume
should be perfectly uniform. WhyP
Because if a man should exchange his
wealth for money, and the volume in
circulation should be increased before
he invests it, he would be robbed to
the extent that the value Of his money
had been reduced. And on the other
hand, if the volume should be reduced
before he invests, society would be
robbed because his money would buy
more than society received from him
In exchange for bis money.

sity for the immediate salvation Of our

New Sort of Poker.

numbers to ali players. If five are play
ing, for example, each will get ten cards
at the start. If seven are playing, each
gets seven, the three cards left over be-

ing. each player discards as he likes
from his hand, so that he shall have five
cards to play with, making the best
hand possible out of those dealt him.
Hands are apt to run high in this sort
of game. 1t is called peculiar. -

Dainty Perfumes -Trifles That Make

Perfumes are used sparingly by
elegant people, yet touch, a vague
sense of fragrance, does add some
thing of daintiness to a girls toilet.
1t is right for you to have perfum-
es about you if you love them.
Fresh rose leaves thrown into YOUR
bureau drawers, scattered in the
boxes where you keep your laces
and handkerchiefs, and sprigs of
lavender or lemon verbena left
there to dry will impart a pleasant
sweetness to whatever lies among
them, says "Harpers Round Table"
Orris root powder in little sacket
bags of china silk, or strewn lightly
between folds of tissue paper, will
give your clothing in closet or
wardrobe delightful faint odor of
violet. If you use delicate soap
with a sweet, clean perfume, not of
musk or anything strong pronoun-
ced, and put few drops of alcohol
or ammonia in the water when you
bathe, you need not be afraid of
any unfavorable comment on your
dantlneSS. Perfect cleanliness is
always dainty. Soil and dirt, dust
and stain, are never anything but
repulSiye.
