A PROPHETIC JEWEL
lne Peculiar Ring That Was Owned bJI
ilarquiSe du Barry

MarQuise du Barry. whose lovely
head fell into the basket beneath the
guillotine in expiation OF her leyity,
extravaganza and folly, had in her pos
session stone OF which the Paris
jewelers. were unable to tell the precise
nature.
There appeared upon it below the
surface and as IL under water an out
line of a picture containing human fig
ures. Strange 20 relate, when first the
gem was given to its afterward unfor-
tunate possessor this outline was not
clear, but after It had been some
months in her possession II grew more
vivid.
One day the negro boy, Lamor who
was afterward instrumental from re-
venge. in the downfall OF the Du Bar
ry, declared. looking at the jewel. that
he could decipher the figure of a wom-
an with disheveled hair leaning be-
fore a scaffold and surrounded by a
crowd, while beside her stood the exc.
cutioner.
A strange but authenticated circum-
stance is that the negro servant boy
precisely described the guillotine. Or.
Guillotine had not then invented his
celebrated instrument cf death, nor
had the horrors OF the revolution be-
gun.

In the dim age of Nero beauty was a
cult of the utmost moment, among
men as well as the women. But for
many centuries after the fall Of the
Roman empire such matters languished
until these latter days. These are the
times of the beauty doctors" who
seem to almost have rivaled the
secret OF eternal youth. They accom-
plish their successes by means of ra-
tional methods based on careful study
Their watchword is hygiene for youth
means beauty and beauty means health.
AS a matter of fact, these treatments
are expensive, but most any woman
thinks it we'll worth while to be rid OF

and therefore. her beauty, has been

However, the cost of beauty preser-

penses of a Roman woman in the days

Travellers Go East

1t is a noteworthy fact that of the
great number OF travellers from VIII
mington this summer, the majority
seem TO go East on their vacation trips,
Not only to the Jersey coast, but to all
parts of New England.
Cheap steamer rates TO Providence
attract many, who profit by the war be-
tween rival companies, and special eX-
cursion tickets to points up the New
England coast are an inducement which
cannot be resisted
At present there are several residents
OF Wilmington In Boston, some having
gone by sea and some by rail and
sound. A little later a number Of ouI
lawyers will be on the Maine coast.
There are several reasons for goiRl

PLAIN vs.. FANCY SLEEVES

1t Will be a sad day for all concerned
when sleeves change and go back to
the Rlain coat sleeve style. At present
a gown is made pretty by its sleeves
and you judge the garment by the
sleeves it bears.
A tafieta coat. in navy blue, had q
slash al the back Of the sleeve through
which came chiffon, lace and silk. The
silk was baggy and hung low, and over
this there was chiffon. while a little
lace outlined the portion which came
next to the cum.
But II you would have a useful coat,
take the coat which is for automObil-
ing. It is in thin rubber, and It comes
In many colors. the prettiest Of which
is a pearl gray.
This coat is used coaching. and it is
fer outing wear Of all kinds, not the
least of its use being as ashopping coat.
The rubber coat is not difficult to
make. It requires rubber by the yard,
end one can buy the light gray or a
pretty plaid rubber cloth. just as one
prefers. A good pattern is required,
and that is ALL says the st, Louis Globe
Democrat. do
The incest OF these long rubber coats
are cut in sweep length. and are finish
ed at the neck and around the wrists
with black velvet. A nice black velvet
collar lined with rubber is a very orna-
mental thing. and. in case of shower,
It can be lifted so as to make a stand
ing collar.
Black velvet cuffs can be turned back
and. if rubber lined, there will be nc
damage from the sudden downfall.
The rubber coat is meant not entire
ly for rain. but also for sun and for a
general protection. 1t is light and SO
neat and pretty that you would never
suspect it TO be of so durable a thing
as rubber unless you put your hands
upon it to feel of its texture. Buttons,
collar, everything must be dressy.

THE CANALS

In preparation for the debate upon the
Panama and Nicaragua canals a mem
Der of Congress applied at the Depart
ment Of States to find out the extent to
which the Suez canal is used by sailing
vessels. one of the arguments for the
Nicaragua canal has been that sailing
vessels could and would use it, while
the Panama route would be barred ON
account of the belt Of Gains.
A reply has recently been received by
the Department, the report being made
through our Consul-GeneraI at Cairo
by Comte Charles de Lerionne. the Su-
periOr Agent Of the Suez canal company
in Egypt. His information is that no
sailing vessels have crossed the canal
since 1874 or 1873, except during the
time of the Turko-Russian war i'm 1877
rs. AT that time sailing vessels auiv-
ed from Calcutta with Indian troops.
