not be called marriage by
many, even though the law

decided moral difference between the

There is an unwritetn law which is far

for this deception. Laid on with a fine
brush and then coated with a prepa-
ration Of glue and other substances it
will successfully resist the action of
alcohol. which is ordinarily relied upon
by diamond dealers to uncover frauds
Of this kind.
That this deception is not more ex-
tensively practiced is to the undying
credit OF the diamond trade. This is
business which first, last and all the
time must proceed upon confidence.
Importers get their diamonds In pack
ages direct from the European cutters,
and the goods are never known to
fall below the grade inscribed upon
the parcels In which they come.
II will easily be comprehended, how
ever, that an expert colorist could
without fear OF detection so manipu-
late inferior stones as to realize large
profits from inexpert but confiding
customers.
There is a story current that a num-
Der of apparently magnificent white
stones were once purchased by the
Shah Of Persia, who, when they were
brought to him, was engaged in the
discussion OF an American cocktail
His majesty. while holding one OF the
stones between thumb and finger, for
better scrutiny. inadvertently dropped
Il into the cocktail. When IL was fished
out the diamond was observed to have
changed It's beautiful white and blue
tint for a sickly yellow. The wise men
who explained to The Shah the cause
Of this Transformation are said to have
received the lash. But after that the
ruler, whenever he received a consgn-
ment of diamonds invariably took the
precaution of dumping them into a
bowl of crude alcohol. which was near
at hand.

commends itself so highly as the use OF
a piece OF silk thread. II will take the
average person some time TO become
expert in handling IL. but when this Is
attained. II will be acknowledged the
best tooth-pick and beautifier OF the
teeth in the world. Cut OF from the
spool a piece of silk about fifteen
inches long. which thoroughly wax.
With the thumb and forefngers carry
the waxed floss silk into each space be-
tween the teeth. the remaining three
fingers OF each hand being used to hold
on TO the ends of the silk firmly. The
thumbs and forefngers Of each hand as
they hold the silk should be kept but
very little further apart than the width
OF the teeth between which the silk is
to be passed. Thorough tension of the
silk must be kept up at all times. For
the eight teeth on the left side of the
upper jaw. pass the silk over the end
of the left-hand thumb, and over the
end OF the right-hand forefnger.

Thus the palm Of the right hand and
the back Of the thumb Of the left hand
will be toward the face. Hold firmly,
slide II between the teeth with q glid-
Ing motion; carry 1t well down be-
tween the necks of the teeth and the
free edges of the gums, but not in such
a manner as to wound the latter. the
pressure being properly brought
against the teeth, not against the
gums. Before sliding the silk from be-
tween the teeth, the silk may be rap
idly drawn backward and forward on
the necks Of the teeth, thus polishing
and preserving these surfaces, and
"raking out" any deposits OF food or
incipient tartar which may be there.
The silk ST ould be slid from between
the teeth with the same tension as
when it is introduced between them.
otherwise II will tear when the teeth are
very close together. If this rule be OBJ
served, and the silk still tears, it indi-
Gates one of several conditions a cav
ity Of decay; scale of tartar: or a
sharp point or Jagged edge of the tooth.
any OF which conditions should be cor
rected by a reliable dentist.

He was not the countryman OF the

He stood near the stamp window on
the Park Row side OF the postoffice and
looked as IL he were trying to make up
his mind to do something disagreeable
to him. At last, after watching people
buy stamps for at least twenty minutes,
he hesitatingly approached the window
and said meekly.

ne can we'll AFFORD to keep me very
nicely. Now, which would you advise
me to do--go to my uncle and live in
bliss, or remain single all my life and

situation Is so unusual-indeed, in the
eyes OF the world. so unnatural--that
1t can scarcely be judged by ordinary
standard. The opportunities for mar

relatives feel constrained to marry.
