Wearing Jewels.

1t takes instructive good taste to
know when jewelry is allowable ana
In good form. Very often, however,
women, knowing perfectly we'll that
they are violating the laws of good
taste. persist in the promiscuous wear
ing of Jewels at all times of the day.
Jewels. excepting rings, should new
er be worn except when the costume
Is at least semi -dressy. Necklaces and
bracelets are most distinctly out OF
place with a strictly tailored gown al
though rings are allowable.
It is conservative to say that orna
ments should never be worn before AZ
o'clock midday and it is better to avoid
them until after 3 o'clock in the after
noon. One bangle. or several plah
ones, a few rings and a watch chair
may be worn at any time no matter
how early the hour,
Just as men always wait until after
c before wearing evening dress, Just
as no one would ever wear watct
with a ball gown. these little laws O.
fast.dious fashion are quite universal
ly obeyed.
Girls before is should never weai
recious stones unless it be one hand
ONE ring When school days are ovei
nd long skirts are adopted they MAY
car what jewels they see fit, pro
iding they do not deck themselves
in a conspicuous way.

stantial evidence that was so strong that
his friends at the time believed him
guilty. II now appears that he was not
within a mile OF the murder scene.
The crime occurred on December q.
1889 when three men robbed the iewelry
store of Paul Rudart, Mrs. Rudart came
on the robbers and was shot dead
Kilen kept a boathouse about mile
and half below Harentum and was sus-
pected. Detectives went TO him and he
said he had carried three men across
the river that night, and that they had
come back later with a satchel whicn
they had asked hmm to bury for them.
He had done so and led the detectives
to the place where the plunder was

when 1865 miles were laid, that the
record equalled 1893
