of the novelties on the market are FOR
ornaments. pure and simple. and have
no use beyond decoration. The newest
things out are the stickpins for bicycle
riders. Though these are chiefly worn
by girls. they make just as good scarf
pins and are frequently used in that
way by men. The tiny silver or gold
bicycle set on pin about two inches

The emerald has just now great
vogue given to it, and as it is said to
bring good health it would seem worth
while for one to save up ones ducats
that one might possess the beautiful
green gem. After ALL since we can look
at them, We possess them, for she who
owns them can get no greater pleasure
out of them. Oftentimes We don't re-
aliZe that. We let the mean desire of
possession control us, and we make
ourselves unhappy because We can't
own everything. Think what a bother
it would be to have to take care Of
everything!

most unhappy. She is always expect

she carries them with art. and she

She always puts on her gloves in the
house and buttons them as carefully as
any other article of dress. She never

size, which gives her hands ease and

others little closer in fit for calling and
for evening wear-there is a way to put
them on. If there is anything that mars
a woman's appearance. it is a glove with
