HAVE YOU PRETTY EARs7

The fashionable woman is paying
special attention to her ears just now.
II they are not naturally pretty she
treats them until they have arrived at
state of beauty Earrings are again
a favorite Of fashion, and their special
mission Is TO bring out the color of the
eyes. Diamond earrings are rarely be-
coming, They sparkle so much that
they outshine the brilliancy OF the
eyes; therefore dull stones, such as the
turquoise or topaz. are much more in
harmony with the face than gems that
sparkle. There are women whose ears
are white, cold and lifeless. Pinching
the lobes gently will make them pink
and plump. The upper part of the ear
or shell is not particularly pretty.
There is usually too much of 1t, and
the remedy is to make the hair wave
around the ears and thus cover them
in a partial degree.

daylight robbery in which he, with
companion, bound their victims
while they ransacked apartments and
stole clothing, silverware and money.
The victims of the robbery de-
scribed their assailants as big
blonde" and a little brunette" The
police say that this is the first time
in the history of robberies that they
have had descriptions based on such
were Mrs. Thomas F. Gleason, Miss
Anita Gleason and Thomas F. Glea-
son. The robbers entered the Gleason
home late yesterday afternoon. Both
were masked with handkerchiefs. One
held Gleason at bay with a revolver,
while the other bound the women and
gagged them. He used strips of val
liable lace curtains, long pieces of
mink cape and chain to bind them
Then the brunette" searched the
rooms systematically, and put in a.
sack everything of value that suited
his fancy. Some silverware and jew
elry was overlooked in the hasty raid
and Gleason declares that he persuad-

jewelry by representing to him the

be compelled to lay themselves open
to in disposing of it, =
"Yes, it happened on April fools

counting his experience "But it
wasn't joke from my viewpoint"
Gleason and his wife have been
married but six days. The couple
were married at Palo Alto last Sun
day by Father Gleason, his brother.
The police attach some Importance
to the fact that Gleason is a cousin
of Edward Gleason, who was twice
the victim of the notorious drug

of these believe that one Of them may

Every house is practically slated

added to the general alarm felt over
the eruption. Occasionally earth
quakes rock the island and the ex-
