The Craze for Old-Fas shioned Jewelry

There seems to be quite a craze for old
fashioned, and at the same time pretty, un-
common stones in the way of jewelry.
few years ago nobody would have thought
of wearing anything but diamonds, rubies,
sapphires, emerads, pearls and turquoises.
Now all the big jewellers display quantities
of lovely stones, such as amethystsi of all
tints and colors, chrysoprases, aquamarines,
moonstones, beryls and other precious
stones that are mentioned in the Bible. The
fashion of wearing jeweiry so much ia the
daytime has something to do with this
fashion, as some women always insist upon
their jewels matching their gowns. Then,
again, the many styles OF long jeweled chains
and muff chains have made many compara-
lively speaking inexpensive stones quite
fashionable. There was rage three years
ago for chrysoprases, and they were to be
seen everywhere set with diamonds and
pearls or turquoises, rubies and emeralds,
but somehow or other they fell into dis
favor, and turquoises superseded them

Season of Kleptomania

1t has been suggestively said that what is
sboplifting among the poorer classes is
lleptomania among the rich. This is the
irresistible logic OF social conditions. 1t Is
conceivable to the average mind how man
or woman suffering from poverty and want
should appropriate to themselves those
things which they must need and desire.
Ii is inconceivable, however, how woman
with every want supplied and money to
purchase her hearts desire should denb,
ers.tely steal that which is of no material
value to her, and by SO doing court the
risk of social ruin. 1t is not well to deal
too carelessly with the word kleptomania.

Presence Of Mind

Derby-Martin Wilson, an employe
of the Ousatonic Water company,
while out on the coping stones of the com.
pany's big dam across the Housatonic, re.
moving the flash boards, met with peculiar
experience yesterday. Over foot of water
was running over the dam and his work was
perilous at best While in the center of the
dam a large field of ice swept down behind
him. As it touched his leg Wilson saw
his danger, and jumped upon the ice. He
rolled over and over as it slowly passed be-
meath him over the dam and finally rolled
off the rear end into the shallow water above
the copings. Had he been swept over with
the cake he would have met instant death

OF the drawing as nearly as possible.
The petals are of bright yellow. In
painting them use silver yellow and
mixing yellow. The cups Of the flow
ers are tinged with deep yellow, and
should be shaded at the base as well
as the leaves with brown green.
The foliage of this plant is naturally
stiff, and is of rich green tone. Use
grass green, apple green and brown
green in painting this. 1t is always
well to use combination of greens
rather than a single shade, as in ma
