brooches and watches, but never in
all that collection of jewels have |
seen an engagement ring. Wedding
rings a-plenty are thrown in to make
up the required amount. There
doesn't seem to be so much senti.

after a woman gets married she
doesn't mind using her wedding ring
for unitarian purposes, but before

considered too sacred an emblem to

Got KipIinu's AutoQraph.

Rudyard Kipling, on his last home
ward voyage from South Africa, not
so long ago, was watched carefully
by a lady autograph hunter who
longed to approach him, album in
hand, but did not dare to do so. One
morning she saw him scribble on one
of the little cards which are used
when passengers order any drinks
they may require. These cards are
collected into little bundles at the end
of the week and then redeemed. The
fair huntress darted after the stew
ard who had the card, and begged to
be allowed to keep it and pay for the
order, which read: 1.-TWO sodas and
one whisky" and the signature waa
"R, Kipling."
