Many hit deep and many miss, but the
most ingenious one is: Woman is
somewhat of a mystery"
Here are some OF the Iroquois pro-
vcrbs:
Womanhood Is mans salvation.
Women and hens are alike when
Jealous.
Womanhood and earth are both
mothers.
Lovesick woman sCorns \ feast.
Women on evil bent own feet. not

ODD STYLES IN JEWELRY.
There is a great craze just now for
odd and barbaric jewclry. One does
not need diamonds to be distinctly in

the wcarer as decidedly up-tO-date.
Bracelets. charms and lOckcts of jade
are very popular Coral. either rough

Scmi-preCious stones are seen TO a
great extent, topaz being prominent
among them.
Oriental icwclry. in the shape Of
girdles and necklaces, is beautiful but
few women can wear II.
A necklace Of uncut turquoise has a
gold bead between every two blue
stones, and another pretty combination
is pink coral alternating with white
