NEW RINGS.
10 the SO Long Popular
Marquise.

The fashionable rings at the pres
ent moment are the duchess and the
princess. The former consists of three
good-sized pearls, turquoise or other
precious stones, set in a row and sur
rounded by small diamonds. The
princess is like this, but contains five
stones or pearls in a row set in dia-
monds. The banquet or dinner rings
are a variety of cluster rings and are
of no set designs. They vary consid-
erably in value and in richness Of set
ting.
Turquoises lend themselves effectu-
ally 10 the sparkle Of diamonds and are
therefore popular, while the iridescent
fires of the opal make it to be beloved
in spite OF superstition.
The solitaire diamond, symbolizing
purity, is as greatly in favor as ever
for engagement rings. More solitaire
diamond rings are sold for engage
ment tokens than any other, though
there are and always have been in
stances where lovers insist on having
with the diamond a sapphire to express
constancy, a pearl for innocence, or
some other stone expressive Of a senti'
ment.
Among the newest settings shown
this season are solitaire emeralds, ru'
bles, sapphires and other stones, with
three small brilliants imbedded in the
shank OF the ring on either side of the
stone. The light reflected from the
brilliants brings out the color Of the
central stone and adds to the beauty
of the ring without adding greatly &c
its cost. Hoop rings continue in favor
They have from four to eight stones
set in q row around the band, usually
very narrow, so that three Of these
hoops can be worn with good effect.
The correct wedding ring is a plair
beveled ring of 22-carat gold, which Is
as nearly pure gold as is practical t
manufacture. A new ring that is find
ing favor with some brides-elect is

colored stones imbedded at intervals

CENTRAL COLLEGE.


There was a Pupils Recital at Central
College, last Saturday night, which was
very much enjoyed by all who were
present. The following programme was
rendered:
Concerto A Major (irst movemeu) by
Mozart, with Reinecke Cadeuza, was
given by Miss Menefee, accompanied by
Prof. Conrad On a second piano. The
selection is a very pretty one, aud was
played TO such excellent time that had
the audience not seen the performers, it
would have been difficult to tell who was
playing.
Miss Mary Romeiser is always an
acceptable singer, and on this occasion
she gave Dear Little Maid" By Dekoyen,
In an unusually pleasing manner. Her
enunciRtion is very good.
Piano solo, Etincelles, by Moszkowski,
was given 10y Miss Austin, who plays
unusually well for one OF her age. She
has confidence In herself, and this is a
strong point. Her selection was quite
difficult, but she made a foe impression
on her audience.

The true northerner. [volume] (Paw Paw, Mich.) 1855-1920, 1899-12-27

Under the above heading our contem-
porary, the Courier, last week published
some interesting facts concerning the
county seat and county buildings i'm Paw
Paw. Forty-four years ago, the present
jail OF Van Buren county was built, at a
cost of $1,000. OF this amount. 81 $50
was contributed by citizens of Paw Paw,
Antwerp, Almena and Porter.
In 1915, the fire proof building was
built at a cost of $500. OF this amount,
sl'ooo wasl vssioav the county, the bal
ance by pf speid description of Paw Paw
and vicini9 INV
Ihese fact~N elow that Paw Paw has in
the past done more than her full share
In the expense of providing buildings for
county purposes, and such fact should
have its influence with the voters
at the present time. Paw Paw people
always have been and will continue to be
extremely liberal With saie county. and is
fairly entitled to the liew buildings that
must soon be built.
Ihe Northernet does not believe that,
through sordid, selfish motives. the peo-
pie Will ever vote the county seat, to the
shores of Lake Michigan.
AS matter of public policy, the coun-
" seat should not be put up at auction.
Accessibility, convenience, and Justice
In view OF past history should decide.

What's the odds if you're not happy?
Some other fellow ain't;
What's the odds il you're a sinner?
Some other fellow is no saint.
What's the odds il you're not wealthy
Some other fellows broke:
What's the odds If you must borrow7
Some others have to soak.
What's the odds If you're not married.
Some girl is that way, too;
What's the odds If you're disappointed?
There are others who are blue
WHAT'S the odds IL you're a failure7
There are plenty that way now;
WHAT'S the odds, oh, numerous army
You amt lonesome, anyhow. 0
