That pearls Idle" In obscurity and
retain their luster and value when
worn frequently Is fact that has al.
ways to be borne in mind by the own
ers Of jewels.
The statement that a historical pear
necklace in the Louvre, originally
worth 100000, is rapidly depreciatins
did not in the least surprise the man
ager of a well-known firm of jewelers.
Pearls" he said, must be worn
frequently to preserve them. If you
take a pearl necklace and. lock it uI
you will find that in the course of years
the pearls become dull and lose the
sheen that makes them 50 valuable
Heorlooms which have been carefully
treasured will sometimes be found to
have deteriorated in this way. They
lose their glow and In some instances
become almost black. Pearl necklaces
never keep so well as when they are
constantly on the necks Of their own
ers.
ut has been suggested that person
al influences have something to do with
the matter, but think it is more like
" that the effect is due to light and
air. You can wear pearls practically
as long as you like, certainly for fifty
years, and they would give no indica
ton Of change, and you might loci
pearls up and In perhaps twenty years
they would show signs Of dying.
There are, however, ways Of resusci
tating pearls, but the fact that they
die IL quite clear"

Miss Braddon, the novelist, enjoyed
her first triumph more than forty years

able to weave plots with the best of
them. Lady Audley's Secret" the
most notable piece Of fiction which
she devised, was her second long story,
and she was only "a when it was pro-
duced. There is a strange story Of its
origin. John Maxwell, the publisher,
had determined to start magazine.
By an unfortunate accident the serial
story was not forthcoming. The pub
Usher and editor were at their wits

HENRY RUTGERS. conduct of the war
the generosity Of Col. Rutgers enabled
the Americans to accomplish many
things that the lack of financial aid
had hitherto prevented them from do
Ing. Rutgers was always public-spir-
tied, giving money after the close of
the war for the foundation Of schools,
churches and various charities and do
mating the land in New York City for
the opening Of several streets.
When the war Of 1912 threatened the
country, Rutgers called a meeting to
devise measures for the protection of
the city. He himself contributed near
ly all the money that was used in
erecting the defenses for the city.
During all the time that the war was
in progress he duplicated his philan-
thropic and patriotic acts Of the revo-
luton.
On a smaller scale, because he did
not have the abundant means of the
other, and not for any lack Of inclina-
ton, Rutgers was another William
Morris. He was one Of those citizens
who formed the bulwark of the nation
in its inception, one of the pillars of
the State.
