GRADUATION F

A gift to commemorate the COM
pletion of school or college life is
usually treasured as a reminder of
the happiest days of youth.
Therefore, the essential quality
of such a gift must be an ability to
resist time-it must last-and it
must not be commonplace.
The distinctive character of our
wares is apparent and We invite
an inspection of our Jewelry,
Watches, Belt Pins, Souvenir
Spoons, and many other articles
suitable for graduation gifts.

Hidden Women of Persia.

Should the of Persia ever
get a vote, they will doubtless see
to it that the lot of their sex is con-
siderably improved, for at the pres
ant time they are regarded as non
entities. A husband in Persia never
speaks of his wife to his %acquaint-
inces, and, if obliged to mention her,
It is by some other term than wife,
as mother of my son." of my house"
She must not exist for anyone but
her husband and from all others she
must be hidden-non-eXisting. For
his reason when the harems of gov
arnors or very high personages pass
through the streets of Persia the men
whom they meet either turn their
backs or slip down a by-street or
INTO some convenient doorway.

A Modern Type.

They are usually of a willful fair
ness, with flesh kept firm by the mas
seuse; their brows are lowering, and
there is the perpetual hint Of hard
ness in their faces; their apparel is
exceedingly good, but their manners
are u%ngentle, their voices harsh and
discontinued; there is no light in their
eyes, nc charm or s~oftness in their
presence. They are fitting mates, per-
haps, for the ~able-bodied pagans who
are overrunning the earth, but hard
ly suitable nurses for a generation
which must redeem US from material
ism, If indeed we are to be redeemed.
