Children Puzzled by spe1ipp

A school inspector in accounting for
the tendency of children to misspeN
attributes it in large measure to the
mispronunciation of words by adults.
Most OF the eccentricities in spelling,
he says, arise from the child's efforts
to reproduce words as he hears them
spoken. In one school, for instance.
he found that a child who had been
told to make a list of all the fruits he
knew, wrote down: Apis, strorbriz.
rarsoriz, goosbriz and bnarners." An
other child spelled the word Idea"
with an addition of an ''r.'' "Idear!"
exclaimed her teacher; that is a
funny way of spelling iGea." Her pu-
Pill however, was not at all en-
barrassed. 81 know" she answered,
readily, but ! Epelt it that way for
Gkort!"

Ows' orders without number.
Widows rings are just coming into
use in America, and while some Of
them are made in France, a goodly
number of uniquely beautiful ones
have been turned out by our own gold
smiths. A single large and perfect
black pearl is considered very chic,
If we may use so frivolous an express
sion, as a widows ring. 1t is sunk
in rim of what is called furnished
silver, and next after This ranks the
cameo ring, showing the dear depart
ed ones likeness in white against
background of black shell. The golden
clrclet of such ring is covered with
black enamel, and inside the finger
band a consolatory or purely senti-
mental sentiment is engraved. A SUI
perb ring ordered in Paris for the
widow of an American millionaire
takes the form of a wondrouslv cut
seal. The stone is dead black and the
cutting upon it shows wounded dove
with Latin inscription beneath, to
the effect that, though mortally
wings her way through life.
The jewelers. who cater to a large
custom have noticed an increase of
interest in rings that are not always
so costly as unique, and it is curious
enough that women who will readily
wear imitation stones in brooches,
necklets, stickpins and even earrings
draw the line against mock gems in
the matter of rings. Baroque pearls
and the secondary or semi-precious
stones are all right for finger orna-
mentation, and one dealer in fine lew
els has grown quite accustomed to
having woman come in, lay sample
OF SILK, satin or wooden on the show
case, and calmly ask to have her sam
pie matched in a ring or brooch 1t
is usually ring she wants and then a
visit is made to the case full of ex-
qulsite pink topaz, matriX opals, white
sapphires, etc, where her demand can
be easily fulfilled.
Debutantes and graduating school
girls whose acute attacks of friend
ships are slangily described as "rush-
ing" now cultivate the habit of ex-
changing rings with their own partic-
uiar girlish intimates. As a rule the
choice falls on really charming posey
rings of Marcassite. These come in
all manner of quaint bouquet, basket,
cornucopia, love-knot designs elab-
GRATED in the tiny but inexpensive true
stones set in an artistic framework of
silver.
To the theater and opera, crowded
ball rooms, etc, it is also a fancy of
this younger element to wear perfume
rings that are supposed to take the
place of the clumsier vinaigrette. A
hollow ball of gold holds a sponge that
is impregnated with perfume, and a
tiny self-closing stopper or button on
the ball prevents leakage, though a
touch upon it emits strong and deli
cious odors from within. This ball
hangs by a golden thread from a Gil .
clet of gold, and when a glove is worn
it rests comfortably in the palm of
the hand. Sometimes both the finger
circlet and the ball are set with gems
but plain gold is considered the most
tasteful choice.-Washingto Star.
