Most charming necklaces that cost
very little indeed, can be made quite
easily with beads. All that is required
in the shape of materials, will be
thread, clasp that can be bought at
most fancy shops for few cents, and
beads.
The small beads, as in sketch, may
be glass or metal, this will depend
upon the taste of the worker. The
necklace illustrated is made OF q
lovely iris blue metal bead, the larg-

beads will be needed, two beads Of
the long shape, one large round bead,
and nine pearls
When buying beads, it is better to

necklaces; it will be found cheaper
than getting exact quantities, as, Of
course, the larger beads are sold at

Olympia, came into pos session of the coin with several others in 1906 while blasting out corner stone of building on the American consul grounds in Rome, Italy. The coin was secreted in a copper box ill the cornerstone and was surrounded by number of other Greek coins of different denominations Dr. Gustaf- son values the piece of money very highly and will preserve it as a me mento of Grecian glory.
