 Mrs. Walter Buck, who resides with her brother at 156 Grand avenue, was unfortunate enough to lose one of the diamonds from two-stone ring about | ten days ago. It would be rather of a marvel should it be found, for she lost it while in the city shopping. How ever, there are many wonderful finds. and some one may have been attracted by the glitter on the street or in the | stores and discovered that a precious stone was back of the glitter. If so. Mrs. Buck would b. only too glad to receive back her stone for suitable reward to the finder. There is more than an intrinsic value attached to the stone for her, which money could not l replace nor another diamond offer compensation. Should any one have picked up the stone during the last fort night and will communicate with the above address, Mrs. Buck is sure that she can prove property.
