scarlet geranium, is also gravely push

Occasionally you will find husband
who has very decided ideas about the

affairs, but he is the exception. and the
wife is frequently of the variety who
after the first year of married life puts
on plain black cotton stockings and stops
wearing silk ones because it seems such
a waste of money to pay high price
for something nobody ever looks at.
And in this case the husband is per-

Rings on Forefingers

The ultra fashion taken UP by some
women of wearing a ring on the fore
finger Is borrowed from Elizabethan days.
When anything so conventional as a plain
diamond, opal or sapphire is worn the eff

this thing 1t should be done well and

The ring should be an antique or it
should be the copy of an antique. The

If you must sit and sigh
And have the blues,
Why don't you try
To realize
That there are signs and signs,
And blues and blues
From which to choose?
There're heavenly blues, and blues of

Both pleasant-if you have them, pray

And when you sigh, be like the turtle

Who knows not grief, and merely signs
for love.
