Two Brilliant Bargains i'm Gloves.

style, it is by no means to be implied given on these important occasions. Colored stones are sometimes used and in various fashions. A ruby-a superb specimen-may be mounted with diamond in the familiar diagonal set ting. Or with the diamond may be associated a pearl mathematical of purity" or a sapphire, signifying ''constancy," is set with the diamond. The combination of diamond and sap phire is frequently carried out, the two stones standing as mystic symbol of the union of hearts and the sapphire be- cause of it's meaning of true blue' be- ing specially favored.
 To have an engagement ring set with a birthstone of the future bride is an- other idea, and frequently man will have a diamond that has been an heir loom in his family reset for his fiancee, although quaint old-fashioned styles of rings are now so much sought after that he could very appropriately pre- sent the ring just as 1t graced the taper ing fingers of grandmamma when she plighted her troth in the radiant days of bellehood. The fashionable jewellers throughout the country are reviving some of the old-time settings. An en- gagement ring selected the other day by a wealthy prospective Benedict was mounted with large and exquisitely beautiful diamond in the shape of a heart set round with smaller but equal ly pure and f1awless diamonds; quite small diamonds were imbeded in the shank of the ring on either side of the stone. The ring sent out perfect rain- bow-flash of beauty.
 Speaking of wedding rings, the simple hand of gold is now, as it has always been, the traditional symbol of mar riage. It changes little from time to time as all fashions change, varying in width and slightly also in thickness. Once upon a time it was thick, sfowy band of gold, very broad and very heavy but such ring is entirely out of style. The narrow ring is the correct thing now. It may vary slightly in shape-some rings are thicker through or more rounded than others-but it is always narrow. In fact the idea is to have the wedding ring just as plain and unpretentious as possible. Even the inscription inside the little symbol of sternity must be simple and direct, just the initials, the mans first and then the date.
 There are, however, many numbers of people who have ideals of their own on

the subject of the wedding ring just as there are those that follows individual fancy in the engage ment ring. They want something out of the ordinary different, more romantic or more sentimental. A narrow gold band, carved in old English fashion, is used now and then. A great many people of foreign birth, or even of fore- ign descent, think that they cannot be properly married without a double ring. This is an old idea. The double, ring is constructed of. two hoops that fit into one another so ingeniously as to form a ring, the opening in which is hard to find Then, now and again one wants to design their own ring, and have their own notions as to the inscription to be engraved inside, some such motto as Thou and forever:'' with this the giver for eternity" or a line as this, from "Cumbeline" Remain thou here while sense can keep it on.'
 As a rule, however, most girls prefer just plain, simple inscription; not be- cause all the sentiment has gone out of modern marriages, as the cynics argue, but because they consider the simpler form in better taste. Some of these same cynics assert that wedding rings are disappearing, and that it is only question of time when they will go out entirely. Now and then a violent radi- cal rises and declares that the wedding ring is relic of barbarism, and that it is high time for women to rebel against wearing the symbol of mans authority. The ring, say they, was adopted as the outward visible sign of power and authority. In the olden days, when messages were sent by word of mouth, it was the custom, in order to prove the authenticity of the bearer, to entrust him with the signet ring of the sender.
 Thus when a man took unto himself a. wife, whom he placed at the head of his household, that delegated authority was made visible to the world by con- ferring upon her the all-potent ring, the only distinction being that the woman wore her ring on the left hand, as be- ing the inferior hand of the two, while the man, as lord and master, carried his upon the right or superior hand.
 In day, therefore, when g. young wo- man claims the authority in her own right and scornfully repudiates the idea of being delegated" it would only be consistent for her these critics say to refuse the symbol. If, indeed, there should be a conferring of rings at all, they say, it would be more in keeping for the man to receive it since the spirit

handles sixty thousand dollars daily in bets, said:
 He is the hardest man in the United States to beat. He knows more about the angles and curves of racing in one minute than all the other plungers conn., bined can tell you in an hour. Every season he wins, on an estimate, from thirty to fifty thousand dollars from me. He is the smartest man on the turf to-day"
 Smith earned his ''nom de course" of Pittsburg Phil many years ago. It was while he was patron of the Smoky City pool-rooms: In those days the popular form of turf speculation was through auction pools. After each horse was knocked down to the highest bidder the man selling the tickets asked the name of the purchaser. Smith al- ways said Phil. Now at that time there was another customer with a sim liar name. In order to distinguish the two mems tickets Smiths were marked "Pittsburg Phil,' and the name has clung to him ever since.
 Phil owns and operates big stable of thoroughbreds and has big corps of men whom he employs to watch the horses work. place commissions and tell him of every move that may be of value to him in his speculations. He has won number of valuable races, among them being the Brooklyn Handi- cap in 1897 with Howard Mann. He discovered Tod Sloan and Willie Shaw.
 why, do yau know that I played be- tween one hundred and thirty-five and one hundred and forty thousand dol- lars, and several times trife more than that, every week of the Saratoga meeting last year? And when I got through I was nearly worn out, and have not only lost money, but a lot of weight. If a man expects to live through a natural life he can't ketp going that way.
 Look at Riley Grammar, Mike Dwyer, Gates and Drake. Drake is of my way of thinking, and he hold me only short while ago that he was going to that Gates will ease up, for he is gud- ed mostly by Drake's advice. Grammar and Dwyer have already slacked up, but probably in their cases it is lack of money.
 How do Grammar and Dwyer com pare with Drake and Gates as plung- CTS?
 Well, I'll tell you. Drake and Gates, in my opinion, are the highest rollers

Fearful Strain on the Nerves-He Thinks Gates Outdoes All the Race Track GambIsrs Anywhere.

I'm done with big betting way down east" said Pittsburg Phil to a New York World reporter in San Francisco the other day when asked how he re- garded the betting outlook on eastern tracks for the coming summer.
 1T don't know what the others are go- ing to do, but do know what l shall do. During my short stay in San Fran cisco this year I have wagered less money on racing events than at any other time in my career as betting man, and purpose to maintain the moderate gait. There is nothing in this plunging business. The wear and tear is awful to ones nerves, and it made sick man of me last year. l made up my mind several monthse ago that l had enough money and would keep it. I concluded thereafter to play small game, and I set my resolution in mo- tion whenI landed on the Frisco track. It is not, as many have claimed, that the bookmakers here won't take more of my money, but simply because l won't give it to them. My friends said that as soon as I got on the track would forget my resolution and plunge, but I haven't.
 .".My experience here has satisfied me that I can lay small bets-that is, two or three hundred a race-and have just as much fun. That will be my game in the east"

Smith, better known as Pittsburg Phil, is the only turf plunger who has stood the strain. mentally, physically and financially, of fifteen years struggle with the bookmakers for supremacy. plungers have come and gone and he still rides the top wave. Each year it is predicted that the "bookies will knock him out" but the following. season invariably finds him on hand betting thousands of dol lars to a race.

Present Fashions in Engagement and Wedding Rings. Somebody has started the rumor that capriciOus Mime. la Mode is Wearying of the solitaire diamond as an engage ment ring, and that she favors diamonds combined with gems of color. So far, however, madame has kept her thoughts pretty well to herself for the solitaire diamond has found favor so long as an engagement pledge that it has become traditional
 The setting of the diamond must be as inconspicuous as possible, and the effort is to mount the gem so that no display of the setting will obtrude upon the rainbow scintiliation of the daz- zling white stone The use of the plati- mum, which has now been largely adopted for mounting diamonds, has re- suited in obtaining increasedly beauti- full effects.
