Paris Oracle
ADVICE ON ORNAMENTS
Ruby Is the Enemy of Poisons-Luck
In the Opal If Worn With Dia-
monds or other Pre-
cious Stones.

Paris, February L-(Special cable
Whatever the result of manufacturing
precious gems may be, the posse ssors OF
the real article may rest content, botn
ON account of their intrinsic value and
because of their luck-bringing qualities.
So. at least, says the Baroness dor
champs the latest oracle of Paris and
dealer IN horoscopes The Baroness IN
sists that women can make their own
bargain with fate if they viii but follow
her advice IN regard to wearing OF preei-
Gus stones. These statements she for
INITIATES as follows:
''Diamonds--lf you have a diamond
brooch or locket, or other jewel, always
wear it on your left side and arrange
matters so that the stone is next TO the
skin. If so worn the diamond. no matter
what its size will prevent misfortune
ward off catastrophies and eventually
bring luck to the possessor.
tRubies-Rubies are likewise luck
bringers. ] have known women suffering
from chronic headache for years, who
were cured after acquiring a jewel SET
with rubies. The ruby is the enemy of
poisons. No person owning one Who takes
the trouble of watching its color can fan
victim to accidental or premeditated pois-
oning. If such is threatening, the ruby
changes color. However, when the danger
is past, its old brlliancy returns.
"Emeralds-Let a bride beware of wear
ing emeralds. Women should not own
emeralds before their hftieth year. Men
may wear them with impunity all their
lives.
'.Sapphires-I advise men and women
fond of the stock exchange to lay in
stock of sapphires. Most successful gam
blers at Monte Carlo wear them, and Il
great many members Of the European
bourses assign at least part of their good
fortune in business to the possession of
sapphires. The sapphire is also valuable
from a medical point of view. Those
wearing it will never suffer from stomach
trouble.
"Moonstone-the moonstone also pos
sesses medical qualities. l know a num-
Der of cases when it cured ertreme nerv-
BUSINESS. Hence women suffering from
that modern disease should not neglect
the moonstone.
"Opals-The world has heard great
deal of the i'll luck opals carry in their
wake. But investigation shows that the
opal is harmless if worn together with
other precious stones. Diamonds and
rubes worn with opals paralyze the lat
ter's evil tendencies. Only when it has the
field to itself, does the opal bring i'll for
tune"
