Pearls of Great Price.

AS the savage decks himself out in bar
barrie ornaments and tattoos his body until,
gradually becoming more civilized, he dis
cards his gaudy trappings, SO with nations.
The newer country is apt to lean to show
and spectacular effect while the older civil
lization finds beauty in subdued coloring
and less conspicuous ornamentation. In
nothing is the advancement of nation
more shown than in the style of jewelry
and ornaments which it adopts, and among
all the different precious stones none bet
ter illustrate this than the pearl
No person who has not a refined taste can
give this masterpiece of nature its true
place among the beautiful gems. Nor is it
appreciate its beauties; one must have also
a certain culture in the love of precious
gems.
The most important pearl fisheries are in
the Indian ocean, others are in the Gulf of
California and the Caribbean sea- Pearls
taken from different localities vary, each
locality having its marked characteristics
Many people who have but a slight knowl-
edge of this gem believe pearls found in
the fresh water rivers of own country
to be of inferior quality This is not neces-
sarily true, as the value of pearl depends
upon three thingS-frst, its form, which
in order of value must be round, pear
shaped or exactly oval; second, its luster
or orient as it is called by experts, and
third, purity of color Pearls of decided
color are rare and, with all other require
than the pure white ones. Black pearls are
the most valuable. Then come, in order,
pink, yellow and brown. But the coIors
must be decided.

How to Look Your Best.

When you wish to look your best at a
dinner or dance on any special occasion If
tired says writer in the GentlewOman, lie
down in the afternoon and be sure to throw
off both shoes and corsets, for without the
removal of these, hospital nurse once
told me, you get no real ease. Now take.
and quickly, warm bath and afterward
rub your spine well with eau de cologne or
verbena. Dress very slowly. and while
your maid does your hair close your eyes.
The face should first have been carefully
washed with water hot as could be
borne, softened with bran and then sluiced
with cold water into which some toilet vine
gar had been dashed. To brighten the
eyes battle them in a teacupful of wa.er
which has been slightly sailed. Whatever
happens, be sure to have all your clothes,
your stockings, shoes, gloves handkerchief,
Iaces, hand bag. fan, opera glass or what
not laid out ready for you in the afternoon,
your hair brushes. washed ETC., so that
when the hour comes for you to dress you
can have no sort of worry or hurry and
can make your toilet composedly. If
pick me up be needed there is no recipe so
good as glass of boiling milk sprinkled
on top with nutmeg, to be slipped slowly.

But others are defined hats in jaunty tur-

within bounds only as to width, for some
outstanding trimming will mount them to
vast heights. Upon these the deftest milli-
ners have lavished the daintiest fances of
spring, SO doubtless what is known as the
small hat is to have, for all purposes, a re-
newed vogue. Upon skeleton frames made
of tiny flowers and twists of tulle, which are
plainly meant to show off the loneliness of
undulated coiffures, are placed delicately
all sorts of coquetres. The gilt flowers of

apples or cherries, the fruit cleaning along

CHEAP LIVING.
Food and Drink for Whole Year on
Two Bits

A Washington business man who recently
made the interesting trip across the con-
tnent to San Francisco related a good
story about a fellow of the bum fra
ternity in the Golden Gate city who pro-
vided himself with meals during the entire
year on a capital of 20 cents. At that time
the gilded saloons of Frisco put I'D splen-
did free lunches. from which impecunous
customers could make a square meal If
they desired.
In those days but little in the way Of
money smaller than a dime was used PEN
MES and nickels being barred. The i'm.
pecunious gent in question found himself
one morning the proud possessor of %
cents and big appetite. AS money had
been scarce article with him, he did con-
siderable thinking about the best way to
invest his pile with the largest results.
While contemplating and turning the
weighty financial problem over and over in
his mind. his wandering gaze finally be-
came conferred upon a gaudily painted sign
board in the distance which announced that
big free lunch was given with every
drink. The brilliant mind of the fellow
Immediately hit upon happy expedent,
and. entering the saloon, he called for lone
beer" Having drank the foaming bev.
erage, he proffered the saloonkeeper his Do
cent piece and received in change two
dimes or bits, as they were termed in San
Francisco. He then Toasted his eyes on the
good things ranged along the free lunch
counter
There was cheese and sausage. sauer kraut
and Clipped potatoes, rye bread and crack
ers, pickles and mustard. After eating his
fill and being in splendid humor, he saun-
tered forth from the saloon and soon met a
well-to-do acquaintance. After passing the
compliments of the season the impecuniouS
man produced his two bits and said:
"Old fellow, l have two short bits here:
kindly let me have two bits for it,
As five cents was practically an unknown
quantity so far as its personal presence in
actual coin exchange was concerned, the
acquaintance readily acquiesced and handed
the other bright silver quarter, or two-bit
piece. Nothing was thought of the request,
as such exchanges were frequently made.
and short two bits was to all intents and
purposes worth much full two bits
Armed with his quarter, the schemer wait

another saloon, purchased a five-cent glass
of beer, ate free lunch galore, and proceed
ing to the street met another acquaintance
and exchanged his twenty cents for another
two bits, which he retained for beer and
breakfast at the free lunch counter on the
following morning.

Where White Hair is Not Honored.

In Servia fair hair is so much disliked
that even white hair is regarded with
scant approval. Indeed, no self-respecting
Servian matron would appear in public
with white hair, which seems to us so ven
erable-looking. Neither her mother nor
grandmother would have thought of doing
such thing, and so her feeling of what
is seemly makes her dye her hair, and she
is not In the least ashamed of the fact
Why should she be? She only does what
custom demands, and the dyeing of her
hair shows no vanity, but that she has q
proper regard for the prOprieties.

ENOiuttOn III 0IyleS.
The introduction of these characteristic
evening hats seems to complete sort of
evolution in hat styles. At the end Of the
empire period a headdress was always worn
to give the final touch to an evening toilet
the coquetries adopted springing, as now,
from headgear too large. Today, as then,
so important Is a couture decoration of
some sort, that an ungarnished head with
smart gown seems as IL the toilet were
only half made.
There is no doubt but that this modifi-
cation in the size and quality of evening
hats will be soon adopted here, for no.
body could deny the becoming charm of
these dainty French headdresses.
Filmy neckpieces, with huge and airy
muffs to match, are likewise seen in con-
nection with the imported millinery Tulle,
lace, net and artificial flowers of many tiny
and delicate sorts shape these enhancing
fGrbelows. A plain stole which Il is said
is already having smart run in Paris is
long, supple scarf of soft-6nished taffeta,
doubled and trimmed at the ends with
chiffon or silk fringe. These are worn after
the manner of the long fiat fur stoles, and
in colors to match the gown they are
thought very charming to smart toilet.
Marabout Feathers.
Neck axings and nuffs In marabout
feathers are encountered on all sides,
blending with ostrich feathers in a con-
trasting color being one bewildering fea-
ture. For example. peIerlne cape In gray

models is entirely the miliner's affair, for
in most cases the Zig fiat used is pleated
and tucked into whatever form wished by

of violet and blue may be used on one
white shape; while another, in a rich yell

Horsehair Braid.
The third hat. which is iii lingerie form,
demonstrates the wonderful possibilities
of horsehar braid. for what seems
founces of lace is only this wiry medium
marvelously woven. With the horsehair
lace however, and many of the horse
hair braids genuine lace is often en-
ployed in frilly edges and rosettes, which
give a soft and becoming touch to the
metallic background.
A first-class hat in horsehair braid is
made with an Understandable art, and the
result is generally one of blithesome
beauty But with the horsehair limitations
it is another thing. These go under the
rather slangy name of 'pyroxlines," and
