ABLAZE WITH GEMS
BIBLE. 1,2OO YEARS OLD, BROUGHT HERE BY MoH-
 CANS NEPHEW.
Taken to Custom House Under Guaro Said to Have Been Illuminat- ed by Italian Monks in
 the Eighth Century.

New York Journal.
 Ii ia not every day that Bible, tweivs
 hundred years old. Is presented 10 pro
 saic twentieth century Customs inspector
 for valuation, and when this bioe IS w''
 ten in an ancient tongue, on parcnincns
 and bound in heavy covers. set ~ith pre-
 cious stones, the matter becomes compieA
 indeed. l.,
 This is exactly the problem that an in-
 .nector puzzled over on the WHite Stdr
 pier yesterday, or the arriVai oi tne Oceanic. The Bible in question was the property of MT. J. s. Morgan, nephe"
 of MT. J. Pierpont Morgan. passenger
 from Liverpool. /. ,s
 MT. J. s. Morgan explained that he had
 nurcbaseJ the Bible in England. 1t was
 written, he understood, In the eighth cen
 tury. by Italian monks in monastery
 near Rome There ended his information.
 He declined to talk further. lie "ooua
 not even say just how muchi ne thoush.
 if worth It is said to be valued at al
 least $50.600.
 The volume is twelve by nine inches
 and more than four inches thick lhe
 covers, much more modern than the body of the hook. are of solid calf skin, and very heavy.
 The parchment is well preserved me letters very legible. The titles Of each book of the old Testament are printed III ancient illuminated text evidently hand work of the most artistic sort.
 Rut if was the covers of the book that caught the eyes of the inspector. Both of ,h9ss covers were covered with precious stones. Many of them were diamonds of the purest water. apparently tuners were rubies and eneralds Others brii- liant gems. were strange to the inspector. The settings were as artistic as the Jew
 els were rare. The more he looked at II the more the inspector decided that thls was a matter for expert decision. Tie called an appraiser. the latter looked the book over, examined the gem studded cover and shook his head
 When Deputy Inspector Williams was notified he decided after a cursory exam ination to hold the book for expert ap- praisement. He explained to Mr. MOT gan that it would be impossible to TX value on the book offhand satisfactory alike to him and to the Government The | book. the Deputy Collector said, would be sent under guard to the Appraisers | stores. It was not seized, simply detained | for valuation.
 MT. Morgan offered no objection and the book was detained. MT. Morgan said he l had been abroad month. He admitted 1 that he met his uEcle. Mir J. Pierpont l Morgan, in England, but said they did not talk business. MT. J. S. Morgan IS | Greek scholar and he presented 10 | Princeton University a marvellous col | lection of Greek books. His uncle, MT
 l. Pierpont Morgan, relies implicitly on
 his judgment concerning books. It IS :, believed the ancient Bible is intended for l Mir. J. Pierpont Morgan's library.

No Tooth Paste, No Proposal

Like Hash her eyes met those of her friends and the same diabolical thought passed through the brain of each. The next day was Sunday. and just to exhibit her conquest the artful girl drove with her new adorer to church. several miles distant When she returned. tired and a trifle dusty. she went straight up to her room and washed her face. AS she did so she gloatcd eXultingly over the incidents of inc drive. Yes. there was no doubt she had him. Tomorrow he would go back to town, but not before he had proposed to her, She felt sure of that. What fun on the morrow to tell her riv- als that she was engaged to him
 Meanwhile tho other girls were waiting for her in tho hostess boudoir on the next floor. Five. ten. fifteen, twenty min utcs half an hour. passed, and still shc did not come. Suddenly the door was flung open \ sallow, almost ghastly, faced girl staggered into tho room and gdzed wildly abnut her.
 On she fairly Gaspcd, Has any one seen my cherry tooth paste? It's gone."
 of course no one had. and of coursa too. shc had to go through the day with q most unlovelv pea green romplcNinn which i'll accorded with her eXuuisite pale blue gown. Every one sNmpathZed with her and told her how very ill she looked
 The young man did not propose-in fact he hardly went near her. The very next day she connected a hastN excuse and left for town. and that night the former fiancee. huggiuG under her pillow large jar of cherry tooth paste. felt at last that her wrongs were reVenged.

Dresses Slightly Tucked

The dresses themselves are slightly tucked affairs. the white one trimmed with pure white lace and the green one with brown Arabian lace. With the white gown Polly wears q small hat made of white roses with q big. crumpled bow and ends of louisine ribbon. When the hat matches the dress. you cannot imagine how charming the all white costume is. Now. why cant some clever girl get two dresses at slight cost by giving the dressmaker the two waists and the sin gle white silk slip to make and by evolv- ing the yelling skirts during her spare hours at home?
 Slip skirts are very easy to make and yelling is so soft and sheer it falls of its own accord into graceful folds. But let me give you d hint about the skirts make them long enough. Not one woman In ten wears her skirts at a graceful and stylish length. Ii is not sufficient to have long train behind. the skirt in front should lie q little on the ground so that no space whateve can be seen between the lower edge and the ground. You have no idea what difference in a per sons height an extra inch in front can appear to make.

The Tailor's Diplomacy

You've made a mistake in my bill, said q young man eNcitedly yesterday to the proprietor of d prominent tailor ing house. according to The Philadelphia Record.
 That rant be- asserted the tailor mildly.
 Oh but il it too exclaimed the youth in q furry. Look here Ten dollars too much charged on this bill.
 The proprietor compared the bill with his books You're right. Mir. Blank he he admitted. ''Ill take $l0 off. and how much d.d you say you wanted to pay on dccount?'
 The young man grew red coughed, and finally produced a S5 note.
 That works every time" confided the tailor n a hystandor. Nothing brings man here in such q hurry as to over charge him on his bill. When d customer gets d little backward and lodges the place. I send him q bill overchIrginG him. IIc comes on q rush to have the mistake corrected. and a little diplomacy dors the rest Rest of all. it doesn't hurt his feelings as would a visit from col lpctOr" "

A Smart Hat.

One of the smartest hats I have seen Is also one of the simplest, and I feel ab. solutely sure any woman could make if al home. The material was rough sun burnt straw in d tricorne shape. the sole trimming being q lustrous wide moire rib bon which was passed around the crown through long buckle and tied In a wide Alsatia bow, four loops and two ends, across the back of the hat. A very good hat for shirt waists and tailor mades it was too. Another had d similar bow brought up higher and tackled on the crown It goes without saying that you cannot have a smart hat unless you have the dropping bow at the back.
 Now is the time to make or buy for yourself black silk coat You cannot get along without one if you go out at all It is equally useful for afternoon or evening occasions, and if you have 1t of heavy enough silk It may be used all through next winter. l should advise il be of peau de sole or bengaline silk. Taf- feta wears far too badly. and when you come down to it it looks thin and poor by the side of the richer weaves.

A Pretty Silk Coat.

One model which is very pretty could be easily made at home. An empire eff feet is given by the broad band of stitch ing across the bust This band of stitch Ing also extends around the shawl collar and down the fronts. The edges of the bell sleeves are flushed with it, and these sleeves arc supplemented hY full puffS of deep ecru all over lace. The principal portion of the collar is also covered with this all over lace.
 Do you realize how stylish wool yelling is? It is also. let me tell YOU, one of the most useful and best wearing of mate rials. With a couple of pale colOrea veil ings woman can feel pretty well dress ed for afternoon and evening occasions. Pale blue and fawn make especially pret- tv dresses. and white must not be eX cepted.
 An all white yelling gown would he q handsome addition tO almost any Wo- mans wardrobe. Polly Benedict. whose small income forces her to be economi- cal has just had two yelling dresses made over white taffeta. One is pure whitr. the other delicate green. The same skirt slip serves for both. and both waists are of course made up over whito taffcta to go with il. In this way a mat ter of quite a few dollars is saved.
