Mrs. Henry Ehrhardt and Mrs.
John Henry Adams Hartz have gone
to Georgia, to visit relatives. They
will be gone for more than a month.
Mr.. Chas. Ehrhardt came very near
losing his dwelling by fire last week.
One of his boarders lit his pipe, ci-
gar or cigarette-can't say which
and threw the burning match in the
fire place. The screen was covered
with cloth, and soon caught on fire,
and from screen to the wood box, but
the party happened to return to the
house and saw the smoke and put
out the fire before it did much dam
age. A picture or two and the paint
on the mantel were ruined. No in
surance on same, and it would have
been a heavy loss to him.

ALL WEAR sHlRTWAlsT RINGS.
JeweIry for Women to Wear WIKI
Morning Attire.

"Shirtwaist Rings" they are labeled.
They are the simple massive rings
that some women prefer to wear with
morning attire in place of their Jew
eled rings, which they save for after
noon and evening.
All the various forms of seal rings
now popular are included in the shirt
waist ring list, bug the name is USED
more especially for rings Of severely
plain design set with semi-precious
stones of the kinds that will stand
hard wear and even soap and water.
Many Of the shirtwaist rings are
plain bands Of twisted or braided gold
or silver. Some are fashioned ike
snakes. Most, however are stone set.
Turquoise matrix is among the best
liked stones, as it is becoming to any
hand that has a clear skin. 1t Is usu-
ally set in a large oval trimmed with
an edge of gold no heavier than Is

in these rings. 1t is usually set IN
cabochon fashion. A frosted gold ring
in q deep Etruscan tone has lions
heh for its ornament and a cabochor
garnet is set in the lions mouth.
A great oval disk of highly polished
coral simply set in rim of gold is thu
ornament of another ring. Moonstone
are much used, usually set in silver
which carries out the silvery qualit,
of the stone coloring.
Lapis lazuli and malachite are use
with gold or silver rings. One mode
has a long narrow stone embedde
, In the ring so far around the f1nge
