FINGER RINGS THIS WINTER.
One of tho Pretty Conceits Is the Din
ner Ring,

The, ruby is the favorite stone this
winter. The engagement ring is of
diamonds, largely, but there are rubies
alternating with the other stones. The
effect of red and white stones is beauti-
full, as every girl knows, and, from the
point of taste, no one can find fault
with the maiden for preferring her ring
frightened by the ruby.
Among the Jewels worn by society
buds this winter will be amethysts,
opals and the topaz. These stones have
passed through so many vicissitudcs
in the favor of women within the last 50
years that girl is not sure to-day
whether she is invoking some supersti-
tious fate or not in wearing them. She
has a general idea that the opal used to
be unluclsy, but seems to have emerged
from it's hoodoo, and that the amethyst
and the topaz are more fit for equity old
men who cling to old style than for a
n.de-siecle American maid; but she
wears them, nevertheless, if she can get
them. and will even take them from her
old grardfather-if he will give them to
her-which usually he won't.
One of the particular conceits in
rings for this winter will be the dinner
ring" This is a portentous affair. that
covers the whole finger to the first
Joint, like a brilliant finger stall. One
design is a diamond snake curving up
the finger, almost up to the root of the
nail, and another is n diamond band
from which ferns branch in an airy
manner, suggesting a conservatory Of
jewelry.
1t is well known that the ordinary
"marquise" ring makes hand look
slender and graceful. These new dinner
rings, which are like exaggerated mar
quise rings, will, therefore, be sure TO
retain their hold on the affections OF
women, because that will make the hand
more beautiful than ever. Not that
women are vain, but that they feel
they owe it to their husbands and IA
theirs and brothers to be as attractive
as nature will allow; and when nature
will not do enough in this direction.
why, they can call on art TO lend n
hand.
As 70 ring settings, it is noticeable
that the antique, dull gold band is dis
placing the airy wire that has held
sway for years. What the woman of to-
day wants is a heavy gold setting,
several diamonds, a few rubics, an
amethyst or two, a topaz, and perhaps
an opal. With these worked into an
up-to-date pattern. she is ready to go TO
dinner, to be engaged, or to be married.
Her new ring is good form for all three

The terrible earthquakes which have

a LITTLE SONG OF HOPE.

I've battled through adversely when Skies
were blue an bright
To win of tickle fortune but feather in
the fight,
An I've never felt furry nor the small
est mite distressed
Till Sol had sunk to slumber in the cradle
Of the west.
1t always seemed that even. with its dark
ness an its dew,
Brought forth host O. pygmies, an these
little troubles grew
TILL like CULVER, they bound me. an
when hope had nearly gone
1 felt peace come stealing through the
gateway of the dawn.
I've lain awake so troubled. an a-tossin'
through the night,
A-hopin' I'd be guided in the paths O.
truth an right,
A-wrestlin' with my conscience over some
thin / had done,
Or else a-plannin' duties with the risln' o.
the sun;
An I've conjured up the sorrows that it
seemed were sure to fall
Upon me an to wrap me in a sort o. somber
pail.
But the ills have always vanished when the
morning cried: Begone!
An a dream o peace came stealing through
the gateway of the dawn.
An SO I say to sinners an to saints who
strive as well,
The cares that came upon you when the
shades o. sorrow fell
VIII vanish with the vision of soul-en-
llghtened day,
An God will wipe the tear-drops from your
swollen eyes away.
The host of little worries that beset you
through the night
Shall steal in stealth an, barished, shall be
frowning in their flight.
An the rest will be the sweeter for the
Ills you've undergone
When that holy peace comes stealing
through the gateway of the dawn.
