How to Wear Rings.

The growing fancy for wearing an
abundance of rings during the day
time as well as for evening affairs
makes special care of the gems they
incase very necessary.
If you want your rings to last well.
do not wear them under gloves. That
is what prominent jeweler says.
But If you decide that gloves are ne
cessity. as probably you will, he adds,
then send your rings twice year to
be overhauled.
The reason for this warning is that
the constant friction of the gloves
wears the tiny points that hold the
stones in place. and the result is that
the stones fall out unless they are con
tantly looked after. The wearer might
not detect a loose stone, but a jewcler
would at once, and by a little timely
Intervention might prevent the loss OF
Il valuable m.-Washington Star.

Perfect Taste In Choosing Clothes.

1t was said of the now sorrowful
Eugene Of France that no one ever
said: How superbly the Empress is
dressed" but always: How beautiful
she is tonight" Yet no one ever wore
more costly garments at the French
court. The materials were of the most
delicate texture, the lace was perfec-
ton, the cut and design those which
only an artist could produce, but they
were always subordinate to the wearer.
She was never oycrladen with jewels
she never bought things because they
were cXpensivc-she chose what suited
the occasion and set forth her own
exceeding charm. To-day her feeble
figure is still elegant, ana her faded,
sorrow lined face still has charm, and
even her widows mOurnful garb is
strlkingly suitable and full of grace

At night before retiring brush the

number of strands. Avoid wettiug
the hair too often to make it glossy,
as the wettiug has tendency TO make
the hair coarse Avoid putting the hair
up in Kids at night to wave IL. They
are more harmful than even the much
abused curling iron, as the hair is
twisted about the kid so tightly that it

harmless and leaves the hair with just
