TOO ACCOMMODATING.
An Unusual Trait of Character Exhibited
In Landlord.

A correspondent assures us that he
never knew that it was possible for an
innkeerer to be too accommodating
to his guests until he went down tc
Nova Scotia recently, and put up at a
pleasant little hotel in the country
The landlord of this hotel laid II down
us one of his principles of action to give
people little more than they asked
ior-to be extra accommodating" As
he termed it.
The landlord brilliantly illustrated
his adherence to this principle the very
morning after'our correspondents ar
rival at the hotel. The guest had to go
away on the seven o'clock train that
morning, and asked he proprietor to
call him at six. Tie guest went to
sleep in the calm assurance that h,
should be aroused at he proper hour.
He seemed hardly tc have fallen into
q sound sleep when he heard a terrific
pounding at his door. He sprang UP,
wide awake.

-Four o'clock Four o'clock!" came

of the door; two hours more to sleep!'

slept no more that morning. The land

TO PRESERVE ONES JEwELRY.
The Many Ways of Thoroughly Cleansing
Diamonds

The Many ways OF Thoroughly ORGANISING
Diamonds.
A great many women possess jewels,
but very few understand the care of
them. Diamonds are supposed to need
no care, except to be cleaned when nee
essary, but this is wrong idea, as, in
spite of the hardness of the stones, they
need as much care as any other jewel.
Although diamonds do not scratch
easily, yet they are liable to chip, due,
perhaps, to imperfect cutting. Dia-
mond jewelry is so often set in silver
that it should be wrapped in tissue
paper to prevent its furnishing.
There are great many ways of clean
ing diamonds, any one of which is good.
Some brush the stones with cologne,
others use whiting, still others use am
monia and water. Whatever is used,
care must be taken to avoid wearing
away the points of the setting by hard
rubbing, as the stones are only held in
place by the little claws.
The date of an old piece of jewelry
may be nearly determined by the cut
ting of the stones. Old diamonds were
table-cut, and next to these came rose
or pointed diamonds. These are di-
vided into double roses or single roses,
according to the number of the facets.
1t is really easy to tell diamond from
"a paste stone. Touch them with the end
Of the tongue, and the GOODNESS of the
zeal stone contrasts with the warmth
Of the artificial stone. When gems are
set in gold, jewelers. never use anything
nut 1s-carat gold. Gold setting requires
only to be softly brushed with cologne
from time to time, but the brush mus
be soft, as many stones are scratched
very easily.
just now green stones are very fash
ionable, and among the rarest of these
are the green diamond and the green
sapphire. Next in value comes the en-
crald and nothing can equal fine
emera!d--it is so rich, dark velvety and
glossy yet an emerald without n
flaw is seldom found, and when it is
found it is almost priceless.
Peridots are used to some extent, and
! the good ones are lovely stones. They
are clear, deep leaf-green, looking al
most yellow beside an emerald. They
are particularly soft and very difficult
to cut and polish. The fashion of set
ting peridots in enamel and surround
ing them with pearls is TN old fashion
revived, and is very popular. Chicago

TALL BEAUTIES.

Women seem to be on the increase,

Then, of course, the newest duchess

borough is far beyond medium height.
This advanced" state of things being
the case in feminine ranks, low-heeled
shoes now occupy recognized place
in good society and have figured at sew
eral weddings.
The two principal brides of the year
1898 were much taller than their BRIDE
grooms, and their ordinary high heels
are renowned for awhile, so that the
difference IN stature may not appear
too remarkable. In such instances n
low couture is considered delicate
mark Of attention from the bride, and
it is retained several months till Other
conspicuous couples arise and claim
public attention.
A very beautiful and most divinely
tall woman is MISS Julia Nelson, the
English actress. Miss Nelson meas

but so perfect is her figure and so
graceful her movements that she seems
not an inch too tall. She is the wife
of Mr.. Fred Terry, younger brother

from her beauty and her great gifts
as an actress, is one of the most charm
