i one particular diamond attracts their at
tention every time they stop AS a rule
most of these are young men and women
4 If you stand in the store and watch the
many people who look at our display
/ every day, you will notice that most OF
| them come to the window in rush, ano
! after studying the jewels awhile. Wild
| walk slowly away as if tney hated to go.
Very few of these persons, know any
thing about diamonds. but simply like to
/ look at them and pick out the ones they
would like to have.
"a knowledge of diamonds is gained
only by long experience in handling
them, says the washington Post, and
hundreds of the people who look at the
diamond displays cannot tell a bad stone
from good one.
ut is a fact that sometimes we see
young girl or man standing before the
stone which happens to strike their fancy
..Most of those who look in the windows
hardly ever buy diamonds probably be-
/ cause they are not able. Our best
diamond customers very seldom look at
the display in the window; they come in
side and have the clerks show them the
! precious stones.
'1The other day man came into our
] store and bought a $500 diamond in ten
minutes The same day woman pur-
chased a small diamond pin from us for
| s15. and she was more than an hour in
selecting the stone she desired"
/ I have lived good long time in the
] world I have made acquaintances by the
/ hundred; friends-not so many. Looking
back upon all the people that I have
known. can safely say that the number
of unhappy marriages I have personally
witnessed has been very small indeed, said
the late Sir Walter Besant. BY far the
larger number of the wives have accepted
cheerfully the position of housekeeper and
| matron. They have kept house for the
husbands and children whose happiness is
4 their own.
Many of them have kept house with the
earnest intention of making a house beau
tiful, which became continual feast for
themselves; many of them have brought
art into every part of the daily life, which
has been a continual feast for themselves,
! as well as the other members of the
house; for all the matrons the daily work
has been a daily delight. Then, as for
! drudgery and monotony is there none in
mans work?
/ Think of the monotony and drudgery
of city c.ergyman's life. when every
/ day he has to tramp around the migrate
+ full slums Think of the monotony and
| drudeery of the doctor going his daily
rounds Think of the monotony and
i drudgery of the solicitor always drawing
up endless documents in the hideous legal
jargon. No. The monotony of life, I am
quite sure. is pretty evenly ladled out to
working man or welded wife.
What have said over and over again.
and do most stoutly maintain, is the
very simple copy-book maxim that with
/ out love marriage must be intoerable;
but given love as an essential, then the
! woman who yields to the promptings of
+ her heart, and accepts the burdens-light
4 or heavy--of marriage. leads the happiest
! life.
An exchange is authority for the fol-
lowing:-
/ A woman who weighed nearly 2c0
pounds, and who wanted to rid herself
/ quickly of her adipose, began by eating
salads. She partook of lettuce and tomato
salad twice day and made it the prin-
! cipal dish of her meal. 1t was dressed
with French dressing.
For luncheon she ate toast and salad
and tea For dinner she had very nearly
/ the same with a few cooked vegetables
1 and SOUP. NO desserts or sweets were
! allowed This reduces very rapidly and
i is diet resorted to by stage beauties
! who get too heavy.
I Drink nothing directly with your meals.
/ If necessary, drink afterward or before,
but do not wash down each mouthful
with swallow of sweetened tea or coffee.
The matter of sweets is a habit and,
! if you get in the habit of eating fruit
instead of candy. very soon the fruit will
seem to you much more desirable.
! A well known operate singer found her
/ self too fat around the hips for beauty.
Now, madam had always been very fond
Of bon bons, and to give them up meant
distinct personal sacrifice. At the same
time she had no idea of letting herself
grow too stout.
So providing herself with some very
| fine oranges, she ate an orange every
time she felt the craving for bons bons
coming upon her. The oranges satisfied
/ the thirst. fed the stomach, kept the sys-
! tenn in good order. and acted as a tonic.
In a few weeks she lost fifteen pounds
and was again her own well proportioned
self
When a garden first becomes a joyful
| possibility most people turn at once to
! the thought of roses. says the Pilgrim
/ Now roses have place in landscape
gardening. As rule they do not belong
/ in the front yard. This may sound shock
| ing and heretical, but it is true. at least,
i so far as the common double fowered
roses are concerned The place for roses
| is in the flower garden and the place for
/ the flower garden is in the rear, or off
! at one side, by itself Roses have too
! many insect enemies. Their foliage is al
ways being destroyed For the ordinary
J person 1t is not worth while to spray
/ them. Probably half the plants of all
kinds sold in America by nurserymen are
roses Everybody loves roses, but in
practice no one takes good care of them
| except the rose specialist. Personally
prefer peonies to roses in my garden.
/ They have larger flowers which last
| longer than most roses, and they are re-
! markably free from insects and disease.
4 All they lack Is poetry, perfume, thorns
! and bugs. But I shall not quarrel with
anyone who prefers roses If you really
want roses you would better have them,
1 even If you fall
