only to see how, having made the most of them, they vanish from one's serious thought as if by magic, when these form In our minds the vision of life that love has perfected.
 As if 1t were not" says Rosseau, the good husband and the good father who makes the good citizenw
 For all the diniculties we have raised, has not the wife an answer ready? And, after all. what other evi. dence do we need than this-that the great majority of successful men are married, that they married early in life, and owe to. their marraige that firmness of purpose and solidity of character that have made them what they are?
 SOCIETY WOMEN AND JEWELS.
 A recent dispatch from London to The New York Journal says:
 The public display of wonderful jew elry by social leaders has never been so pronounced as 1t was this season. Many of the London papers treat the matter seriously and at length, and nearly all agree in ascribing the pro fuse show of precious stones to the ex. ample and influence of American wo- men in London. One of the most re- markable exhibitions of jewels was that furnished by Lady Lansdowne's last re- ception. The all-round crown was very much in evidence, and for these becom- ing ornaments many women have lately had their jewels reset. Lady Lans- downe's endless rows of wonderfully matched pearls and her beautiful tiara tipped with pear shaped pearls of great size were very much admired. The young Duchess of Norfolk's crown of oak laa nd (fhA ntaka'a ,ad- ding glf), emblematic of the Howard badge, was an exquisite example O: floral design, and her single string of huge pearls suited her gown of bridal white to perfection.
 The Duchess of Buccleuch's tiara and large loose cabochon emeralds with the necklet to match were most artistically set. Lady Aberdeen was another who wore a magnificent parure and crown of emeralds. Lady Helmsley wore the turquoise and diamonds given to her by Lord and Lady Warwick on her mar. riage The Duchess of Portland, al ways a noticeable figure, was wearing her sapphires. which, by the way, are too good to look their best at night, The Duchess of Somerset's jewels were noteworthy as her tiara formed quite a thick wreath of flowers in briiliants. with colored stones at intervals. The high diamond aigrette worn by Mrs, Chamberlain was very beautiful: the stones are set loose. and scintillate with every movement. Mrs. Jack Les lies crown of brilliant's though of con ventional pattern. was one of the hand somest owing to the size and beauty of the stones. Mrs. George Cornwallis West wore the lovely tiara given by her many friends on her second mar riage. Young Lady Kerry. gowned in maize .colored satin, wore a fine spray of diamonds In her hair and a san phire and diamond cross of great beauty.
