CLEAN Of THE EMERALD.
Its Brilliant Green Light Has No Rival
on Land or Sea.

Interesting" said a gem expert, "is
the word that most persons apply to
an emerald. There is only one other
jewel which shares this quality, and
that is the opal, which at it's best has
also green lights. although, Of course,
they are entirely different from those
OF an emerald. The reason that makes
an emerald interesting apart from its
beauty and value is the same that
makes the woman with green eyes the
most interesting OF her sex. It's a
light that never was on land or sea; it 3
q brilliant CLEAN that gives the accent
TO any sort of costume and any sort OF
complexion 1t isn't like a sad green
or a so called artistic green The
emerald is the soul of life. light and
beauty"
The emerald has the advantage of
being one Of the most becoming OF
gems. Light haired beauties claim it
for their own. for they declare that
nothing else, not even the sapphire, &C.
centuates their delicate fairness so ef.
fectively. Brunettes are adorable in
emeralds, especially the brunette with
brilliant colOriuS. Strangely enough
blue eyes. instead Of being dimmed
by the jewel. gather fire and depth
from its close neighbOrhOod. They
take on a delecta able green blue CLEAN
and seem much larger than when the
emeralds are not near. As for the au
burn haired beauty. it is her stone par
excellence.

We hurry through the busy DAYS,
We that within the cities dwell
And. having won a little praise
For toiling hard or planning well.
Turn homeward with pride that dies
Before another day has dawned
And we again pursue the prize
That always lies so far beyond.
We have our little triumphs wis
Among the eager thousands strive;
Each busy day brings something new
TO keep our feeble hopes alive,
But sweeter than the fairest gains
The cities yield US are the joys
That come in dreams of country lanes
Down which We stroled when We were

We nurse ambitions that are fair,
And struggle on 10 win reuown,

Once stirred the fragrant buds in May;
We keep the sweet old memories.
