JEWELS
Will Be Worn Till the Last Clock
Strikes Twelve
From the Boston Journal.

From the Boston Journal.
1t is rather late In the day for any one
to complain of the wearing of jewels. The
wearing will go on until the last clock
strikes twelve.
But, it is protested, "the type of society
whose distinguishing feature is that kind
of thing is certainly not human" Isn't it?
Indeed, jewelry is one Of those human
touches that make the whole world kin.
Poets and pugilists, popes and summers
philosophers and dead game sports, states
men and cynics, masters and men, mis-
tresses and maids-why, they all wear jew
els. The variety Of jewelry matches the
variety of men. Those who can't wear Kim
berely diamonds VIII wear Montana dia-
monds.
What is it most sovereigns have coveted
to enhance the glitter of their appearance
on state occasions? Jewels. What is it
captivated Marguerite? Jewels. Who has
not heard that Joyous song that Gounod
wrote for the dramatic moment when Mar
guerite's vanity sets the scales in the temp
ter's favor? The underpaid clerk ex-
changes his scrapings for a S29S cameo.
The prospecting proprietor of ladies and
gents cafe will soon make room for a big
blazing stone in his shirt front. The fas-
tidiouS leaders of cotillons and the like-the
butterflies Of society-do not hesitate to
wear bejeweled rings with what we may
call their fatigue dress. Long before Bibles
and rum were shipped to the west coast of
Africa the natives had bartered many of
their valuables for bits of colored glass
bought by the ton in London and Paris
There may be good taste and bad taste in
the display of jewels But that's another
question altogether. Jewels will be found
everywhere world without end.

| MEMOIRS OF THE MARQUIS D'ARGTNSoN
Translated by Katharine Prescott Worme,ey
Boston: Hardy, Pratt Co.
These two volumes continue this series
OF memoirs by French courtiers well into
the reign of Louis XIV. and comprehend the
whole period of Louis infancy and the re-
gency of the Due D'Orleans. D'Argenson
Is one of the most outspoken of all the
French writer's of memoirs, and the picture
he draws of the life at Louis court-with
an Inconsistencies almost naive-is essen
TALLY for adult study. But the effect Of
the journal is in the end rather refreshing
than otherwise. The author saw life from
a double standpoint. His father had achiev-
ed distinction as Louis NIV's chief of po-
lice and the son rad accordingly been much

classes of all France. After the fathers
advance in station the son became an init
mate of the most exalted nOblemen Of the
Kingdom and eventually prime minister. II

THE THIRTEENTH DISTRICT; a Story Of n Can
didate. BY Brand Whtiock. indianapolis: The
Bowen Merrill Company.
Mr.. Whitlock has evidently lived in the
center of one Of those numerous little polit-
zeal eddies which contribute to the great
whirlwind of our national politics. He tells
the story of a young Illinois lawyer, who,
after serving a term in the legislature,
stands for Congress and is elected. 1t is
the story of moral degeneration, Of a stead
lily weakening principle, of success more
and more dearly bought, of conflicting and
broken promises, of bribery and the growth
of bad habits, and finally the utter defeat
of the candidate when standing for his
third term. 1t cannot be called a type of
the career of an American congressman, al
though in some respects it strongly resem-
bles many an actual experience. Garwood
the candidate of the story. fails finally be-
elevating influence of a good wife He is of
the relatively few who come to Congress
who cannot thrive under success. The pic
ture of the campaigning in the district is
We'll drawn. The wileS of chairmen, the
shrewdneSs of bargaining delegates the
looseness of the life of those identified with
the inner mechanism are shown. The story
moves briskly to its inevitable climax of
failure and disappointment.
