The next day he staggered into the
barber shop to be shaved. The barber
gave his face an extra good soaping
and left him, at the same time seating
himself to read.
The Englishman kept quiet for a

A man had been very badly treated
by the proprietors of a boarding
house. and when in temporary finan-
cial difficulties had been forced to
leave. Some time later. smiled upon
by tickle fortune, he achieved success
and prosperity as popular dentist,
and soon found means TO revenge his
former landlady's slight. The method
he adopted was simple but extremely
effective, quite running the business OF
his enemy. Directly opposite the
boarding house he opened his new
dental establishment. and upon the
largest window in bold letters ap-
peared the following notice: "Steel-

Things were progressing quite salts

taken when, alas! question was asked
which made him tremble for the repu-

 Cabochon stones are also used exten- sively in scarfpins, brooches and as clasps for shopping bags and card and vanity cases. Briolettes are sometimes used as the gnlshing touch of @ brooch or La Vallieres, but like the calibre stones, they are not destined to a gen. eral popularity.
 The regular cutting for diamonds is by far the most satisfactory in the long run, as 1t bring out the brlllancy of the stone to best advantage in all sizes and qualities. The tiny stones that are used in the working out of ar tlstic designs are all cut with the usu- al number of facets of the diamond cutting. This, of course, is one of the secrets of their beauty and extreme costliness.
 The combination of fancy diamonds is one of the fads that Is being devel- oped by certain dealer. They are most expensive, but their varyng col ors-amber, rose, coffee and steel blue render them charmingly adaptable to l certain designs.

Calibre Cutting -Semi-Precious Stones
 Carved Gold.

Calibre Cutting g-Semi-Precious Stones
 Carved Gold.
 Last year Louis XVI. and Marie An toinette styles prevailed, and although these are now seen it is the empire, the art nouveau and the Greek elements that have recently been the most pro- nounced designs in jewelry.
 They are seen in the best creations of Paris, for which at present the cali bre stones are required. According to the Jewellers Circular Paris is more favorable to the calibre diamonds than is America, but their vogue is increas- ing here.
 The sale of bracelets has been tre- mendous. There have been linked gracelets and bangles, simple gold en- graved ones and those elaborately set with jewels, Oriental effects, calibde jewel designs and large single settings of semi-precous stones. Jade and coral have been specially popular, while the green finish of gold as well as the rose has been well received.
 The question of whether bracelets will continue in fashion is one that cannot be answered with absolute cer- tainty. The first movement toward their introduction began five years ago. but 1t did not receive a hearty indorse. ment until short, sleeves became the vogue. Then bracelets jumped into favor and they have continued theil popularity
 Next to bracelets come necklaces which have appeared in an infinite va riety of designs, from the single strand of diamonds or pearls to the most ella borately jewelled creations and iron the tiny gold chain with simple pend ant to the festooned chains set witt amethysis pearls, aquamarines peri dots, tourmalines and turquoises.
 One jeweller of prominence predicts great development in gold articles carved and otherwise treated to secure artistic effects. He claims that as thu stones are now used only to heightel the effect the metal ornament will b. of first importance and the stones vii not take the first place as formerly.

When he was on the scaffold and the headsman was about to lift the fatal axe Sir Thomas halted him, say

 Again there was the celebrated Bish- op of Clermont, who was appointed to that office shortly after the Council of Trent and who precititately fled his bishopric one Easter Sunday morning rather than suffer the loss of his beard. What faults of feature in the good bishop, a retreating jaw, a fat neck, blubber lips or what not, might have been revealed through the agency of the scissors and razor we know not, says the American Tailor and Cutter, but that the concealment of such fla cial flaws has always been to a greater or less degree the motive for the growth of boards is certain.
 In Mexico and other Spanish coun- tries the hat has for centuries been the object of mans vanity. The custom found it's origin in the days when the Hapsburg power was supreme. One of the most cherished privileges that the old grandees enjoyed was that of wearing their hats in the presence of royalty. The absolute power of their monarch left them little else to do but
