A STORY BY KIPLING.
Explains How His Father Aided a
Raiah to Select Wedding Gems

Here is a story told by Rudyard
Kipling. His father, John Kipling went
to pay a visit to an Indian Raiah who
was about to bring home a queen. The
elder Kipling had been engaged in the
decorations of the palace, and it's owner
showed him the gifts of stuffs and per-
fumes he had procured for his coming
spouse. The Rajah also sent for his
jewel caskets, and asked Mr. Kipling
to assist him in selecting the gems to
be included in the marriage gifts. They
were of extraordinary size and value.
such gems as are seldom seen except
in the east, and to the artist the selec-
ton was a pleasure. Finally he lifted
a wonderful diamond, one of the choic-
est in the collection, and said:
You should send this. No woman
could resist it, The Rajah looked up
caught it, and held it jealousy to his
breast. Then, slowly replacing in it the
casket, answered: Nay, such gems be
not for women."-Chicago Tribune.
