THE CR1SFIELD AFFAIR.
The arrest and conviction of Ralph

planters and the oystermen to "a riot

taking oysters from the grounds of
the Targier Packing Company. The
Company has staked off certain
grounds in Tapgier Sound and
planted them W tn oysters. The
company alleged that Nelson has
been poaching on these preserves,
and two weeks ago had warrant
issued for his arrest. This aroused

move of the Tangier Company is the

the turning over of the oyster grounds

OLD ORNAMENTS.
Up-to-Date Ways to Wear Them
Again.


Written for The Star.
Ho We girls who love odd jewelry! Now
is the time to get out your grandmothers
Jewel box and bring forth all the little old
fashioned trinkets which have been slowed
away so long as useless. Every one of
them can be utilized in this summer of 1908
to make some unique ornamentation for
your throat arm. The fad IS at Its
height, and here are some valuable sugges-
lions furnished by a manufacturer and
dealer in semi-precious stones and quaint
jewelry:
The piece of jewelry most coveted by
grandmothers was n cameo, and scarcely
household that boasts any old relics but has
one of these choicely carved shells in Its
possession. A cameo earring may be fas-
tened to a strong stickpin and serve as
scarfpin for brother or sweetheart; or it
may be used as a pendant on your own
slender neck chain. If you are fortunate
enough to have a number of small canoes
they may be linked with gold and form
narrow dog collar
Sinuous links of gold which seem to
stretch and squirm like a snakes body are
another form of old-fashioned jewelry that
can be utilized to good advantage. If you
have watch chain of this curiously linked
gold, with perhaps a snakes head at one
or either end it will serve as very smart
chatelaine chain, the tiny chains of the
purse, mirror, etc, being suspended from
the reptiles mouth. These snuous chains
also make very effective ornament for the
ARM one of the new designs having a
swans head at either end of the chain.
The swans neckS Irvine about each other
and hold the bracelet tightly on the arm
Many large single stone in old gold
setting lies unused in the family jewel box.
These are now brought into play as an Or
nament on heavy gold band bracelets.
Oriental designs, such as mosque domes or
elephants heads, form the background of
brooches in which these stones are set, the
old-fashioned red carneIia and the topaz
enjoying a particular vogue.
Smaller single stones are set into rings of
curious design. A crouching figure of a boy
carved in gold supports black pearl yell
low diamonds and topaz arr cut in triangu-
lar shape and set to give 81 wing effect. A
single square topaz or emerald is sur
rounded with tiny black diamonds and
heart-shaped stone of amethyst is topped by
a crown of pearls or rhinestoneS of brilliant
cutting.
Where there are several stones that may
have belonged to a wedding set of earrings
and brooches, the stones are set in a net
work of silver gold links to form one of
the dainty necklaces SO rauch worn with
sheer lingerie waists. Bookstores choicely
marked onyx, garnets, CATS eyes-any of
these old-fashioned stones look most effec-
tive when scattered among oddly shaped
links of semi-precfous metals. Large cir
cllar corals may be set ON the rim of
comb for the back of the hair; and the old
fashioned pocketbook, with it's mother-of-
pearl or concha shell sides, can be trans
formed into the very daintiest card case by

IF YOU WERE HE,
Vice-Versa Hints for the Engaged
Girl.

If you were your fiance-
Would you like even the dearest girl in
the world to exercise certain air of own
ership and authority over you? Don't you
think such attitude might suggest the
chance of being henpecked after mar
riage?
Would you be proud of a sweetheart no
matter how pretty her face and how low
able her disposition, II she wore $40
hat and yet allowed her drop skirt to hang
| in tattered ribbons a safety pin to show
below her leather girdle?
Would you enjoy hearing her make
"catty remarks about other girls? Don't
you think you would rather hear her say
pleasant things about her friends. If only
as proof of a generous nature?
Would you like to be kept waiting, any
where from ten to twenty minutes, when
you called to escort her to tie theater or
the dance? OF course, she might be making
herself even more pretty than usual but
would not the wait in the dim parlor sug-
gest longer wait for breakfast or dinner
with business engagements calling you
down tOwn-when the happy honeymoon
in the tiny fiat cottage comes?
Would you like her to accept the flow
ers you send, the candy or the trihing gift,
as If 1t were due her and not as a thought
full courtesy deserving graceful apprecia-
ton?
Would you enjoy listening to- compari-
sons like this: You know Tom Hairs
takes Minnie to the theater twice a week"
Perhaps you could not afford theater tick
cts so often; perhaps you might be saving
something each week to buy the proverbiaI
cottage for two; or perhaps you might
even know that Tom Harris has to borrow
the money for those frequent theater
nights.
Would you like the dearest girl in the
world to betray too intimate knowledge
of another mans affairs? Perhaps she may
have been engaged to this other man, or
just good comrade and friend but you.
would want her to forget that page
of the past, now that you have turned over
a fresh one for her.
Would you like to have even the loveliest
of rosebud lips ask you every hour whether
you were sure you still loved her? If you
were a real. strong, sensible. virile chap,
you would probably consider that your
original declaration of love should cover
the entire ground. After that momentous
occasion you would prefer to let deeds
rather than empty phrases express your
devotion.

So much for the girl who bathes. The
girl who poses on the beach or board
walk will select her morning gown ac-
cording to the amount of exercise or
recreation she proposes to take. Linen
is by all odds the smartest fabric for
morning wear, but it can be chosen only
by that girl who is almost statuesque
in her movements and poses; or by her
friend who does not have to figure close
ly on her laundry bills The beauty of
linen costume lies in it's freshness. and
this yields quickly to salt air. The girl
who disposes her parasol, candy boxes
and other, appurtenances gracefully
against pile Of sand will sacrifice the
freshness of her linen suit within the first
half hour. Much more practical for such
use Is a skirt Of serge, hopsacking, mo-
hair. panama, shantung or wolfe. Even
the white materials of this nature will
shed sand and defy moisture, and worn
with a tailored shirt waist of linen or
crash they make the prettiest of morning
costumes.
