country the three bands are apt to be
worn after marriage on the third finger
of the right hand. There has never been
time when there has been so great
FANCY for colored stones, rubies, sap
phires and turquoises being given the
preference because of their intensity of
color.
Apropos Of sapphires, a young girl who
made her debut as her sisters maid OF
honor gave to this sister a prayer book
the design of which she had wrought. II

sapphires and pearls on the upper side.
me clasp was a curious knot of gold set
with two beautiful gems. Enclosed in this
was a tiny poem, written by the giveI,
reminding her sister that, while pearls
represented tears, sapphires were sym
boic of holy love, and they would ri
umph over all earthly sorrow. A pretty
idea, wasn't it? Between you and me It's
a good thing to encourage sentiment in
our girls.
The mourning ring is again appearing
in wills, and at famous jewelers. the
other day I saw one that followed the
old, old fashion. The band was of gold,
enameled in black. Then on a squdrN
gold foundation the size and square OF
the ordinary seal ring was a representa-
ton of the tomb in black on white enamel,
while over it the glass was sufficiently
thick to protect it. On the inner side
was engraved I'm Memoriam," then the
initials of the giver and the day of his
death. Collectors are eager to get these
rings and now that it is known that they
are once again in fashion the old ones
will go UP again in price.
Rich men seem unwilling to make small
requests, and yet there are so many to
whom a little income each year would
mean much and of whom the dying mil
lionaire gives no thought. He forgets
that there is no pocket in his shroud.
There is a queer idea in the east that
rubies are originally yellow and that they
only become red when they are put in
the ground and allowed to ripen like veg
etables.
odd, isn't it? But up to the the time OF
the writing of Sir Walter Scotts novel
"Anne of Geierstein" the opal was con-
sidered a specially lucky stone, and It is
said that some early Christians ore it. pc

That bit of tissue worn over every wo-
mans face and called a veil is not only
a matter of great Importance just now.
but a something that requires special
study given to it. The other day al the
races at Mount Morris park I don't be-
ileve that there was a woman that is a
fashionable woman or well-dressed wo
man who did not have over her face some
sort Of veil. Fhe veil with the huge
chinchilla dots has lost prestige. 1t was
rather becoming because it was mysteri-
ous-looking, when the big dots were close
together, but varieties where the big dots
were a long distance apart made sharp
faced women and plump-faced women
alike look ludicrous.
Such veil could be arranged by no
woman without having the dot on her
nose, and this splotch of black woulo
either get on the tip of a long nose or
the middle of a short one. The effect
is better imagined than described. II
you want dotted veil for the summer
you must get one with a fine spider-web
mesh having tiny dots of chenille not too
close together upon it. Then arrange it
to suit your face and your chapeau.
If your neck dressing is rather low or
your throat very long, then have your
veil sufficiently large to allow great
deal of it to be draped under the chin.
If your hat happens to be small don't
have a great wad of yelling to be tied
al the back of it, hiding its outline as
well as it's trimming It's worth your
while to sit down in front Of your dress
ing table and try on your various wells
with your various hats.
What? colored wells! They are as alb
solutely dead, as far as the fashionable
wardrobe is concerned as are the enor-
NOUS sleeves that stamp a froclI as hav-
ing been made three years ago. People
who have Just come from Paris tell that
white wells IN real lace are the vogue there.
However, a white veil is decidedly try
ing, not only to the complexion, but to
the eyes Hence they are approved by
people who sell eyeglasses.
How little men know, after all! A mag
azine that makes a specially OF publish
ing old poetry was picked up by me, and
read that poem by Tennyson called
Tears, Idle Tears" No woman would
ever have said tears were idle. IL took
a. man to do that. Tears are at once
great comfort and wonderful.
Properly managed, they are the finest
weapon in the feminine armory. It is

face and her eyes swell that they are not
