if she can afford it. a fine large diamond

shank of which. on either side of the

no gold shows anywhere.
In the comparatively inexpensive kinds
silver hearts, both plain and ornamental,
seem to have the preference just now.
that is when the purse is not deep enough
to purchase those of gold, entirely en-
crusted with stones. Some of the silver
hearts, however, are set with small dia-
mendsa and with other precious stones. This
craze came into being no doubt from the
success of the Cyrano chain and the BAN
gle. The chain having often as many
as three or four pendants attached, while
the bangle has often as many as six.
These generally include a pig, an ele-
plant, and a tiny silver cigar, oxidized

increased by the insertion of a ruby at

Love, ~soliloquizes a woman of the
world, is such a delicate plant, finding
a mistral or a bise in almost every air
that blows. Poverty sends it flying out
of the window. Riches rob the welded
pair OF the nome-centred interests that
do so much 70 draw ordinary husband and
wife together. Children often divert the
affection of husband or wife into another
channel; and the lack of children just as
often brings arrangement. Idleness

taking its hue from his individuality. It

a sentiment that is aever twice alike, any

There are quaint miniature ~hammocks,

An occasional drop of rain will not d.

There Is one thing which will spoil the
prettiest polished oak table that ever ex-
listed. That is the setting of hot dishes
upon it. The heat draws out the oil and
makes the grain of the wood show up
coarsely. Maybe you have noticed GER
tain places upon your table top that do
look course and rough. This, in all
probability. has been caused by the use
of too hot dishes. Sometimes the suns
heat. if this falls upon the table for
hours at a time daily, will also cause
such an appearance. The only remedyS1
know is the regular application Of oil
and hand rubbing. If the table is never
allowed to become defaced, that is, is
properly cared for from the first, such
designation need never take place.
The house that is overdone at the start
is far less attractive than the one that at
first is UNDERGONE, but gradually gains an
individuality of it's own, n at the same
time suggests the personality and daily
life of the occupants. Even the bicycle
in the hall and the golf sticks behind the
door. though they are not strictly orna-
mental, speak of health and happiness.
Lavish expenditure in house furnishing is
perhaps the most foolish of all extravag-
