CARE OF JEWELS.
Vow to Keep Them In Good condi-
tfon and Safety.

Vow to Keep Them In Good Condi-
tfon and Safety.
Many American women possess the
value Of q kings ransom locked within
their jewel cases. The possession Of
such priceless articles Is a constant
Bource OF worry Unless the proper pre-
cautions are taken to insure their safe
keeping, says the New York Journal
To enjoy any peace the owner OF valu-
able jewelry must:
First Send it to the jeweler every
six months.
Second. Keep the most valuable
things In the bank
Third Have a routine for removing
and putting away jewels
Fourth.-Have a distinct receptacle
for each ornament, so that an empty
space tells at once it is missing.
Fifth.-Insure all yaluables against
theft.
Sixth.-If a loss is discovered and
an advertisement printed offer suff1-
Gent reward.
1t Is not only thieves one has to
guard against for the protection Of
his jewels, but the valuables them
selves require constant attention.
Large and heavy stones must be look
ed at frequently by jeweler or the
setting becomes Ioosened and the stone
falls out and is lost.
Turquoise must never be allowed to
touch soap or grease, though orientals
sometimes say 1t improves them to lie
for an hour or SO in clear, clean, cold
water. Pearls need wearing, and to
Improve the condition of their skin
nothing is better than to place them
In a tumbler of sea water and put the
tumbler In the sun. People suffering
from certain diseases must never wear
pearls. They have been known when
set in ring to perish down to their
settings Those taking certain drugs
must lay their pearls aside for the
time or they will discobr.
When arriving at hotel the best
thing to do is to give all jewels, money
and yaluables at once into the keeping
of the manager. If jewels are proper
" cared for they should be thoroughly
examined by an expert every six
months to make sure that the setting,
the pins and the fastenings are in
good order.
1t is a dangerous place to pack yalu-
ables in small hand bag unless that
bag is fastened to the wrist or waist,
for nothing Is easier than to forget
little bag when hurrying to catch
train.
When removing a wrap it is advisa-
BILE to take notice that brooches are
not unclasped Valuable jewels are
often unfastened by the contact Of an
outer garment.
Gloucester County Democrat. (Woodbury, N.J.) 1878-1932, 1906-09-13

against the head This is ef1icacious,
although undoubtedly uncomfortable,
but great outstanding ears are simply
uncomfortable.
The dainty little dresses for the small
women are often made of thin silk
which will wash, and the whole shape
Is wrought by shocking. The frock is
cut in one piece and the top shocked
in for yoke, either high in the neck
or cut square at the throat for GOODNESS.
The waist line is also defined by rows
of shocking. A few have the belt
made separate and the skirt shirred
three or four deep around the hips.
The skirts are rarely trimmed, but they
may be hemstitched or featherstitched.
Nothing but neat hand work is consid-
cred suitable for children's clothes, and
this is rule that seems to be Ingram
ed in Mother Nature.
Underwear for small children during
summer is light and porous, but made
SO that it is warm over the abdomen
and around the body.
The feet are dressed in different
ways according to the requirement.
For dressy needs white or colored
stockings are worn long, but In very
warm weather little socks are seen
oftener. Low shoes, black, colored or
of white canvas, are worn, and the abb
surd little sandals which are worn
without stockings are seen frequently.
I asked one little girl If she liked them
and she shook her head emphatically,
and then asked If they hurt her feet.
She answered quickly, s'Yes'm." A
look at them showed the sole portion to
be full of sand and the toe was made
into torture by a big knot inside.
Mothers who wish to follow fashion
should look at the inside of these san
dals before they force the tender little
feet to wear them.
For wraps there are pretty little short
sacks of flannel and, for nice, silk
coats, taffeta or pongee, black, white or
tan. For very warm days short sleeves
are in order, and comfort, and the
neck of the frock can also be cut out,
but guimpes are found to fill in the
lack for cooler days. There are pretty
little capes of rather thick cotton ma
terial in shape of a deep bertha. Sashes
are worn If one wishes, but are by no
means obligatory. The yoke frocks for
small girls are cool and pretty.

how to Prepare Dried Fruit.

If you will consider that dried fruit
is fresh fruit with the water dried out
of it and more or less dirt gathered
upon its surface, two things will occur
to you to do to make 1t become some
thing like fresh fruit says the New
York World. First wash it thorough
IL, using If necessary several changes
of water, but be sure to get the fruit
clean. Then put 1t to soak in clean
water, completely covering the fruit
with an inch of water above 1t. Soak
at least twelve hours, and if the fruit
does not plump out very full keep it In
until it will swell no more. Don't
change the water in soaking and cook
In the water the fruit was soaked In.
Boil gently for twenty minutes, then
set on back of the stove to simmer IN
til the fruit Is done and tender, using
sugar in cooking according to taste.
Mixed apricots, peaches and prunes,
with a few tart plums to lend Spiel
ness, make delicious dish.
