Care of JeWelry

Most people possess a little jewery of
some sort, and its appearance greatly de-
pends upon the attention bestowed upon
It. When not in wear II should be kept
in cotton, wool or other covering to pro-
tect It from the air.
All plain gold bangles. bracelets.
brooches. and other articles of jewelry
may be cleaned by washing in a lather
of soap and water. They should be well
dried with a towel and gentle rubbing
with chamois leather will serve to give
an additional polish. Diamonds may be
cleaned by rubbing with eau-de-coloCne.
If very dirty they must be brushed gen.
tly with warm water and n little soap.

mond ornaments Pearls and turQuoises
should never be allowed to go into water:
turuuoises in particular are liable to lose
their color II exposed to the wet. These
stones can he cleaned with methylated
spirits. Opals are stones which require
particular care; they should never be ex-
posed to much heat, as this often makes
them crack. They should be cleaned
with powder to be obtained from the

For cleaning jewelry set with small
pearls, rub we'll with chamios leather,

large stores. Jet may be cleaned by rub

MARRIAGES
OF PIQUE

medium of suicide. The case Of very
beautiful young Russian girl was recently
noted who sought to do this very thing,
after the marriage license had been pur-
chased. Having been disappointed in love,
she arranged to marry a former sweet
heart hurriedly. But when the time drew
near, she altogether lost her courage.
And so, cropping in her mind for some
solution of the whole sad problem, she
decided that long sleep from which per-
chance there would be no awakening
would prove the only means for dcaden-
ing her sorrows and her disappointment
Forgetfuness was what she wanted mora
than anything else in the world, and es~
cape from that cold future which only
held for her a loveless marriage. And so
she drank poison rather than face that
future. But the waters of Lethe were
never reached, for her friends managed
TO pull her round from the pathway on
which her feet were set To her own
bitter disappointment she awoke to life
again. But she awoke with a sanar View
point And that loveless marriage never
came off at ALL There isn't any doubt
now that she will work out her own sal
walton. For work is the best and, in fact,
the only cure for heart troubles

HUNDREDS of years ago there lived
Lion the islands of the Pacific Ocean
a race OF brave and Industrious people,
For their day, they were quite as wise
and quite as clever as are our inventors
today; and the things they made from
their rude materials are still interesting
to look at and to study.
OF course nothing was known about
electricity or machinery at that day, and
the tools those men had were made with
infinite toll from stone and bits of iron.
When 1t was decided to make an arrow
head. the beach was carefully searched
for just the right stone. The other stones
were used as hammers and the new arrow
head was painstakingly hammered into
shape. Think of the hours of work neces-
sary to make enough arrow heads for a
battle! Think of the days of toll needed
to equip thousand men! For these peo-
pie were warriors and had their we'll
equipped armies ready all the time
against invasion.
Nor were all their wars defensive wars
mo. indeed When the food supplies ran
low on one particular island or when the
ruler felt a lust for conquest an army
OF one or two thousand men was sent off
20 another island. They returned as vic
tors In a short time, or they never re-
turned at all. 1t was fight to finish;
even the war prisoners were sacrificed
TO appease the god of war!
Considering their love of conquest it is
no wonder that the matter of boats, or
canoes, as they were always called then,
was a matter of great Importance, 1t is
no small thing to provide boats for one
or two thousand men!
And where do you suppose these boats
came from? You would never guess
They came from the shores of North
America!
But you thought there was no shipping
westward in those far OFF times? You
are right, there was not. But the winds
blew then as now. The waves that
washed our shores drifted westward then
as now. And they carried with them
things that men had no thought OF send
ing!
Along the shores of North America, in
those far-Rway days, there grew great
trees- Trees the like OF which are seldom
seen now, And storms blew them down

A Charming Dress Hat

TWAS ready to go to reception with
i Elinor the other day, when In walked
mother and announced that she had
bought me a new hat. Imagine! 1 was
terribly surprised, because mother isn't
given to that sort of thing at all-she
believes that girl should learn to Sc
lect her own clothes. 1t certainly is a
good idea, but like all good ideas, is all
the better for few exceptions.
Mother had been over in New York for
the weekend with a charming little
French woman, who escaped over to the
states to stay with her daughter until
the war is over She and mother went
to school together. l suspect, although
mother never would admit lt-madame is
rather elderly. Well, she bought this
hat in Paris just before she left, and
as 1t was too gay for mother, she turned

PROPERLY selected shoes, gloves and
i stockings will usually save the most
dilapidated costume. and the sensible
woman sees that these important items
are never overlooked 1t Is not enough
to wear a becoming gown If shabby shoes
and gloves spoil the effect. All the stores
are showing novelties in accessories these
days, so there is no excuse for the woman
who is i'll shod.
A stunning pair of bronze slippers to
wear with the dressy afternoon frock or
silk suit are selling in certain little
shop for 50. These are exceptionally neat
for the price, having a deep brown moire
back, with vamps of the leather, and
small buckle at the front.
Another pretty low shoe was selling at
the same shop for sS. These shoes had a
decidedly high arch and almost French
heel. They were made of patent leather,
perfectly plain, without even a bow at
the front to break the severity of line.
They are to be worn with CATERS.
The same style shoe may be had in
black patent leather, with a narrow edg-
ing of white around the top, and outlining

most unusual pair of gloves was seen
the other day in large department store.
They were made of white silk, with dou-
bic tips, and short. At the cuff of the
glove. which was a little longer than the
usual wrist length, there were three tiny
tucks, each one stitched down with black
silk. This gave a very dressy effect, and
the price was 81 a pair.
A very horsey pair of gloves for the
sportswoman Is shown in another store.
They are made of heavy white doeskin,
with triple stitchings on black. The back
is arrow stitched, with a deep cuff of the

nNE scarcely ever picks up the daily

lines the notice Of some disastrous mar
riage and its unfortunate sequel II the

expect happiness to result from the
match. For to marry one person with
the sole intention of showing another
person that he or she is not the only
man or woman in the world and can be
perfectly we'll dispensed with is poor
foundation for life of conJugal felicity
Yet there are thousands OF disappointed
thing.
The curious point is that the only per-
sons who seem really hurt in the whole
affair are the parties to the marriage
themselves. For instance, suppose a girl
is disappointed in love affair, and the
man upon whom she has set all her hopes
and youthful affections proves clearly
that he has neither the use nor the time
for them-or for her--her pride is often
more desperately hurt than her heart.
She feels so humiliated over the whole
business that only one solution offers
itself as a way out of the problem. She
determines to show the faithless swain
that there are other men in the world
capable of appreciating her and her love.
And so she rushes into a foolish and
empty marriage, for the one and only
purpose of proving that, after all, she is
attractive and sought after, and that her
heart isn't in the least damaged by the
behavior of her former lover.
No course of action could be more cal
culated to bring unhappiness with it. For
It isn't going to be the faithless lover who
il brought to his senses and to a realza-
ton OF all that he has lost by her action.
No, indeed! Unfortunately. it is no other
than herself and the -be-pitied
man whom she has accepted out of pique
and desire for revenge upon the first
and falthless one.

while the log was brought to shore. In
asmuch as those people knew nothing
of other countries beyond the sea. it is
not much wonder that they thought such
valuable logs were a direct gift of the
gods.
After the log was brought to shore,
workmen set to work with their tools and
followed out the log and made it into a
boat. Sometimes the logs were big enough
to carry hundred TO a hundred and ffty
