0LD-TIME CAMEOS
FOR THE GIRL

In old-time romances the hero of the
story was pretty sure, some time in
the course of 1t, to present the heroine
with a beautiful cameo-something I'M

els, cameo with a foundation of del
icate sea-shell pink, just the shade of

Perhaps the girl of to-day wears deep
er roses in her cheeks, for she is a
healthy creature, but she will not OBJ
ject to the same beautifully toned and
carved canoes. She may have any
number of them. for they are being
made up for her in all the ways a
twentieth century girl can desire.
Let any girl who thinks that cam
eos are not coming into vogue VISIT
the shops where antiques Of any kind
are to be found, and if there is a
cameo in the collection the proprietor
will ask her $50 or $40 for il without
moving an eyelash. And 1t is the iden-

Richard was favorite name among
the Normans. They were governed by
a succession of dukes who bore that
name.
After their conquest OF England
several kings of that country bore the
name Of Richard. the most famous of
whom was Richard the Lion Heart.
The transition from Richard 70
Richardson was matter of course.
A William Belward lord of the Mole
ty of Maluasse. .oon after the Con-
quest, had a SO called Richard the
Little, from r. mall size. His son
was John f chard-son-taking hts
fathers name with the addition of
''son" for his surname.
Richenson and Richerson are other
forms of the name. One historian
fancifully suggests that the original
meaning of Richards was "rich heart"
II is not easy to find a county in
England. or a county outside of II,
where the name does not flourish,
either as Richards or Richardson.
The family has included many
names Of eminence in all departments
of human activity-civil. military. lit
erary and ecclesiastical.

Jedediah Richards became a soldier
at 16 years of age, and was in the

assist in the raising. On their arrival
he excused them from everything but
supper, requesting them to become
spectators while he and his brothers
put up the frame.
Roswell Richards was another young
soldier. He was only IA when he en-
tered the Continental army Temporal
rily to relieve his brother. During the
time he wrote TO his brother to hasten
back, for the soldiers had nothing TO
east but "cornstalks grounds In a

David Richardson was not distin-
gulshed in the arts of war or peace
but through his mother-in-law, the IA
mouse Mrs. Dustin. She killed and
scalped ten Indians on an island in
the Merrimac river. This happened a
few days after the attack on Haver-
hill March Is, 1897. A monument has
been erected in cOmmemoration of her
brave act.

antiques knows his business, and he
knows that with a revival of the old
styles of dress, and with the reap
pearance of Old-time matelals. moth
ing is more appropriate in the way of
jewelry than the cameo.
The old-time canoes We're made up
chiefly in brooches, but those of to-
day appear In many other forms. The
largest are for belt clasps, and there
are stick-pins of canoes, cuff buttons
In the prettiest shapes. cuff links and
flexible bracelets which are charming.
1t is the carving, not the color,
which counts in the cameo and that
beautiful pink in which the romancer
delighted may be had at the same
price as the soft brown shades. II Is
all in the cutting, and the girl who
perhaps, does not care so much for
this as to have her canoes match the
gowns or accessories that she wears
suits herself as TO color.
Bracelets are. perhaps, the newest
things in canoes. They are formed
of small medallion canoes, some of
the stones being pink. and others hav-
ing the foundation in shades of brown.
These are linked together in a way
which makes the bracelet flexible, and
the result is a pretty trinket which can
be bought for Sl5. Some of the medal
lions are a little larger than the others,
forming larger bracelets, but the price
is usually the same.

The large canoes in belt clasps

The animals used to meet once a
year to elect a leader, and, once upon
a time, the porcupine was chosen for
that position.
The first thing the porcupine did
was to call a great council of all the
animals. Then he placed before them
the following question: Shall we
have day all the time or night all the
timer"
1t was a very important matter. and
the animals began to debate it earnest
ly. The bear said he wanted night all
the time, for then he could sleep. and
sleep was much the most pleasant
thing he knew Of.

The big bear and the little chip

the question, and the other animals
became silent and left the two to ar
que it out.
1t was night while they were debat-
ing, and when they had got out of
breath arguing, they began to sing.
