How to Keep Your Pearls Alive.

Pearls should be worn frequently to pre-
serve them. If you take a pearl necklace
and lock it up you will find that in the
course of years the pearls become dull and
lose the sheen that makes them so valua
BILE.
Heirlooms 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 owners. says Home Chat
1t has been suggested that personal in
fuences have something to do with the
matter but 1t is more likely that the eff
feet 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 indication OF change and you
might lock pearls up and perhaps in TWEEN
ty years they would show signs of "dy-
ing" There are. however ways of resusci-
tating pearls. but the fact that they die Is
quite clear.

gives zest to the battle. And vino would
