EARRINGS COMING
AGAIN INTO FAVOR
Their Ancient Use Affords
Designs to Fit the
Most EXaCting.

When the father, husband brother pr
lover of old wanted TO make the gift
that most OF all would win the approba-
tiou OF the dear woman he sought 10
please, he found his thoughts turning
toward earrings, which then ranked
with rings as the most priced article
o. feminine jeWelry. But a time came
when earrings went out of favor.
There was a distinct falling off in the
habit of wearing them: but now they
come have back full force. Perhaps
the return of the direCtoire mode had
something 10 do with fl. In fact. it
is now impossible for miIady 20 turn
back TO "a fashion of the old days with
out finding the earring regarded as an
inseparable adjunct. Hence the earring
is with us again at the top crest OF its
one-tme popularity.
History in Designs
In designs OF earrings the history OF
the whole world almost, savage and civ
l.ized. can be traced, for there has not
been a period of mans existence when
the earring was not used either by him
self or by his women. Assyrian has
reliefs. the sculptures OF Egypt, and the
monuments and excavated graves OF all
OF this custom OF decorating the lobe or
the ear. In the old testament are to be
found a host Of references 10 the Gus
tom Of thus decorating the ear with
jewelry. In the Etruscan tombs many
kinds Of pendants have been found, and
some u these, though thousands OF
years old. are regarded as being the
nnest samples OF the art OF earring
making.
Earrings Long in Vogue.
Earrings were worn during the BY
zaHtine period, and the Goths, the Lom-
tardsp and the Merovingian Franks
were partial 20 the fashion. Throughout
The Anglo-SaNon period and the middle
ages of Europe there never was a time
when earrings passed out of the fashion.
lnoush time came when the mobiles
eschewed them, and the peasants alone
preserved the ancient style.
therefore IN search for designs for
earrings, there is no lack OF variety. Ina
TACT, the LADY can take a choice OF amy
period IN the worlds history. Her ear
rings can typify the ancient or the mod
ern just as she wills

REEDY ELECTED
 COMMISSIONER COUNTY LEVYlNG COURT ALSO DECIDES TO WORK UNDER
 FORMER ROAD LAW.
Gives the County Judge the Right to Work Under Contracts or to
 Use Road Commissioner.

The closing hours of the County levying court were enthused yester- day with an election for road com.
 missioner, after long wrangle and a decision by majority to continue to worlS the reads under the present road law
 Fred Reedy, present commissioner, and Stevens, were the candidates for the place, and the campaigning had been lively but Reedy had a splendid maicrity at the finish and will con- tinue to be the official road builder for the coun.y during the next two years.
 Under the road law endorsed over again yesterday by the levying court the county judge has the right to let road work by contract or have 1t done under road commissioner, to suit his pleasure. The option is for the purpose of permitting contracts where that is the cheaper, and have the county do the work when the con tla acs appear too high to be a saving.
 The levying court also made an ap- pnopriation of $500 to be used for the purpose of enforcing the road law. There have been several bits of small litigation over the road law and its enfoicement and in the past there has been no provision of funds to pay the cost the county would be put at to enforce its laws, but this is cover ed in the above appropriation, and will give the county judge an opportunity to back up his commissioner and oveaseers in the matter of enforcing aoad work in the country.
