A desire for a bargain launch out for

who has a wife of whom he is very fond,
made her a present few years ago o. IA
maruuise ring of sapphires and diamonds.
There is place in New York where many
neonle who know stones say they can get
fine diamonds at usually reasonable
prices, and other stones as well, The
Young man decided that ne would 20
there for his ring, and he did, but it was
not satisfactory after the first few days.
The diamonds were not brilliant and the
ring was a disappointment. There did
not seem to be anything to do about 1t,
and nothing was done until this year,
when 1t was taken TO another jeweler for

There is a young woman, says the New
York Tribune, who was married in New
York not so very long ago, who obtained
the better part of her wedding outfit in
a way not usual to girls out of story

stock of marketable accomplishments as
nice girls before this have learned. There

would like to earn a little money. The
market is overstocked with them and there
really Is very little for them to do. But
this girl was anxious to have a nice little
wedding outfit, and she was sensible. she
got a place of something between "A maid
and companion and not far from a do
nestle servant, i'm good New York fam
ily All her little handy accomplishments
could be brought into play here, and they
were paid for at the very respectable sum
for such a, position--of $40 a month. 1t
was not an unpleasant position except that
She worked hard and constantly from
morning until late at night, and II gave
her the most surprising revelations of the
way some New York people live.
Everythng-even the young woman
working for her wedding outfit-was ar
ranged with an idea of presenting the
best appearance for the least expenditure.
