Another Fiddle.

James Whitcomb was q prominent
citizen of Indiana in her early davs
and he was not only politician. bur
one of the best amateur musicians in
the country. He composed several
pieces for the violin, which was his
own chosen instrument, and many are
the stories told Of him and his fiddle.
At one time he was travelling from
indianapolis to Eastern Indiana, and
stopped for the night at house on a
lonely road. He entered the cabin with
his companion, and there they found
lame young man called Amos sitting by
the fire scraping at an old violin with
most disastrous result.
He laid the violin on the bed. and
started away to the stable with the
horses. Mr.. Whitcomb at once took up
the violin, tuned 1t, and when Amos
returned was playing light and beauti-
ful airs. Amos was entranced. He sat
down and, mouth wide open in wonder,
watched the musician. Then Mr.. Whit
comb struck up Hail Columbia" and
the youth could bear 1t no longer. He
sprang to his feet.

such music"
Mr.. Whitcomb said nothing, but kept
on playing. BY and by, when he had
finished, he laid the violin on the bed.
This was the young mans opportunity.
He sprang up, seized the instrument,
carried 1t to the fire where he could
see more plainly, and turned 1t over
and over, examining every part.

HOPE FOR UGLY woMEN,

"Would you rather have style or
beauty?" is question often asked
among women, and the answer is almost
invariably in favor of style, while men
quite as decidedly vote in favor OF
beauty as matter of course.
A pretty face alone counts for but
little, especially at ball or any other
social function if the owner is other
wise dowdy or badly dressed. An ug-
ly woman with a good figure and dis
tinguished carriage will give the i'm
preston of good looks. and quite
eclipse beauty who has neither, even
to masculine perception, for man
feels the effect of style, although un-
able to define what it really is, and
often unwittingly calls it beauty.
ga tall, slight woman can make any
thing Of herself she chooses" is a say
ing quoted from great French dress
maker, which has great deal of truth
in it, although it goes without saying
that in addition q woman must have
other qualities to bring about this re.
suit.
She must have good taste, percep-
tion and the great knack of putting
on her clothes we'll, which, by the
way, is on art that is not understood
by nine women out of ten, even the
famous Worth acknowledging that to
show really to advantage his gowns
must be we'll worn.
"That is what tries me more than
anything else," he said one day to q
favorite customer, "to know that my
most artistic conceptions are depend
emf upon others, and may be COM
pletely spoiled by the way in which
they are worn"
A plain woman, therefore, need
never feel discouraged if she is clever.
By studying herself and her possibili-
ties she can produce result which
will almost, if not quite, equal beauty,
and she has this great advantage that
her attractions never fade, and are
even apt to increase, rather than lessen,
as she grows older.
'A pretty woman is loved for u
while, but an ugly woman forever, +"
is French saying, which must be
true. as it has passed into a proverb,
and which is comforting to those who
have not the "fatal gift of beauty. "

GREEN STONES IN FAVOR.

Green stones are the fashion just
now; of these, of course, first comes
the emerald, for green diamonds and
green sapphires are too rare and small
for modern jewelry. Nothing can
equal really fine emerald-rich,
dark, velvety and glossy-yet it is
said that flaw or fault always lies in
the stone, and an emerald without q
flaw is priceless. Next to emeralds
come peridots (the French name for
Indian chrysolite). These stones are
particularly soft and they are difficult
to cut and polish. Peridots, when
really fine in size, depth and color,
are lovely stones. They are clear,
deep leaf-green, showing almost yell
low beside the blue tone of color of
the emerald. Few peridots are now
brought into the market, and those
sold are usually old stones recut and
reset in modern fashion.
Both emeralds and peridots are
"step cut" with large broad table
OF centor space. The chrysophase is
pretty, but lacks depth of coloring.
The reason the emerald and peridot
make lovely ornaments is that they
can be set round with sparkling dia-
monds to show off their lovely color
ing, but pale stones like the chryso-
phase or beryl have to be set plain by
themselves, as they will not bear the
contrast. About twenty years ago a
fashion came in of setting peridots
with enamel and surrounding them
with pearls. This fashion now seems
to have returned. Manufacturing
