The Love OF Jewels.
In all countries and In all ages women
seem to have inherited a love for prec-
ious stones, says the Chicago Chronicle,
and it is no wonder that these gems are
popularity supposed to exercise some
subtle magnetism that Influences their
natures This inherent passion may ac-
count in measure for the recent craze
for some masc0tic Jewel, a survival of
medieval superstition. Upon impress
sionable people certain gems appear to
WELD a potent influence. Who has not
listened to weird tales Of some heirloom
talisman, which, when lost or stolen,
presaged the ruin of a noble house? A
person with a. vivid imagination might
even believe in the theory Of the Fyth-
agoreans. who formulated the doctrine
that inanimate things are endowed with
souls. Certain evolutionists Of TO-DAY
trace the origin of man back to stones,
bosOms they contain the a1l-prevadlng
essence Of spirit and that the spark
emitted from their crystalline hearts IS
the revelation of the imprisoned soul
within
From time immemorial jewels have
served as propitiatory offerings at holy
shrines, as token of amity from one
crowned head to another, as mystic
messengers Of affection between distant
friends, as pledges Of constancy ex-
changed between plighted lovers. Men
have bled and died. kingdoms have
crumbled, families have been rent as
under, husband and wife parted over
the disputed possession of some coveted
jewel. Perhaps poor Marie Antoinette,
Of ill-starred memory, might have kept
her pretty head upon her shoulders had
it not been for the unfortunate affair Of
the diamond necklace. Women in all
ages have succumbed to the temptation
Of gems. Faust bartered his soul for the
love Of a woman Marguerite sold hers

Do Not Wear Tight Shoes.
Many women spoil themselves by
cramping and crushing their poor IN
fortunate feet into shoes too small for
them. This is really d most idiotic
thing to do. as it not only causes the
most intense pain. often ruins the gait
entirely, but frequently brings about, if
not really serious injury to the foot, at
any rate such painful, unpleasant and
uncomfortable results as corns, bunions
and other pedal disdgurements.
A woman who persists in wearing
shoes too small for her cannot long re-
main in good health. for she learns to
difficulty involved. A shoe that is eth
er too short OF too narrow is such an
instrument Of torture that one would
think no really sensible woman would
