The American jeweler realizing that
the American woman Is discriminating
in her choice Of jewels, has prepared
for inspection WonderOus collection
sure to please her Whims
Diamonds may reign first and pearls
second choice, but the sapphire has
many deVOteeS and now the mOOnstOne
is rapidly pushing To the front. The
fastidiOus woman knows that jewels
adapted for daytime wear are entirely
different from those suitable for even
ing use, and prdes herself upon the
proper selection Of her jewelry.
With attention drawn by the war
that has enveloped the whole heart of
| Europe toward our resources, Ameri-
can jewelers. are learning that the
| United States offers its quota of ma
terials as well-as precious metals At
present when eyeverthing American is
sought after native stones and Ameri-
can made ieWelry, and American gems
| Outshine all others in their deserved
popularity.
The amatrice, a stone found in the
United States, was used TO enrich a
necklace Of dun dark gray silver, and
when displayed called for many words
of admiration. A stone of glorious
blue, called the benitoite, comes from
California and is gaining rapidly in
favor.
Onyx is as desirable as ever but a
new treatment is given the stone. In
some instances it Is colOred with soft
green. A bow-knot of crystal had dag
Onal strips Of green onyx outlined with
diamonds.
The fad for crystal has found an eX-
ponent in a 4-inch velvet sautoir, tip
ped with a crystal pendant which had

monds. Velvet cOllarettes with gold
slides, or slides of gold lattice with
pearls are worn with quaint wrlstlets
to match, though black always gives
touch of distinction to the gown,
the ribbon can be easily changed to
harmonic with the color of the dress.
American reproduction of silver fill
agreee sets are marvels of rare beauty.
Bracelets, earrings, brooches and neck
laces set with semi precious stones in
European peasant designs, need only
to be seen to be appreciated.
Among the newest offerings are pins
paved entirely with little seed pearls.
A brooch in the shape Of a tulip was
covered with seed pearls, which looked
like so many dew drops. Just for
good luck was another in shamrock
design with the edge outlined with
small emeralds.
A sterling silver friendship circle
has character bestowed upon it by its
enamel and jewel treatment. The
enamel may be had in any color de-
sired set with stones to match.
Canoes always have a catchy quaint
ness about them and those set with
pearls are much in evidence.
An unusual flower holder is among
the newest Of new ideas. A strip of |
flexible links is adjusted to a gold bar
with pin at the back. This contriv- |
ance holds firmly just one blossom or

Hats designed by American design
crs reveal the wonderful results they
have achieved i'm their latest con-
Ceptions. They are worthy Of being
considered first In design, first i'm
quality and first in the heart of the
American woman.
Some hats for spring show q slight
klnship to their winter relations, while
others are SO new I'm shape aud form
that they call forth expressions Of sur
prise. As there are not so much eN-
pensive trimmings used the hats are
less expensive than formerly and in
stead of buying Just one good hat at an
oNorbitant price, one can buy several
less expensive ones.
The hats OF the 1880 period, hats in
spired by Slavic designs, Scotch and
Dutch effects, as well as military. viii
appear as the season advances. A fca-
ture of the hats will be the combiua-
tion of straw and silk Tho lighter
hats will often have dark facings to
render them moro becoming

will have considerable vogue. Early
hats Of suede kid are usually seoe in
sailor effects
Feathers will share honors with
feather novelties, ribbons and flowers
A new ribbon, called searchlight has
been adopted into the ribbon family.
Faille ribbons are exceptionally good
The hats are mostcly tilted over the
right eye and coQucttishly poised at
such an angle that the back hair is
fully exposed, Strange az It may seem,
the hats that are newest have a look
about them as II thew had Just stepped
out Of an old family album.
a rather large pink hat with a tCle-

little gold ring with small chain ana

while dancing.
Bracelets in many forms are worn
The flexible ones show many new de
signs in jewel settings. For evening
wear with sleeveless gowns, the brace
let is worn above the elbow. Among
the lovely old things revived are the
gold braided bracelets. Some are plain
with a buckle, while others are inter
spersed with gems
Wrist watch bracelets are in as
much demand as ever. There is
convertible watch which can be worn
on sautolr as wrist watch, or as
chatelaine watch.
Hat pins and belt pins set with
stones to match the hat are worthy ac-
compartments Of the new spring

vet, or combination leather and silk,
are shown i'm n multiplicity of new
designs
A vanity bag of colored leather be
sides holding all the little articles
dear to a woman's heart, included
among its possessions, a small pair Of
opera glasses. A horse shoe shaped
bag of faille silk lined in old gold silk
rep had tortoise shell clasp and was
finished at the bottom with long tor
toise shell ornament.
Fullness is accentuated in bags as
well as in skirts A striped silk bag
had the fullness held in around the
top by a row OF shocking. A large silk
acorn dangled from the bottom Of the
bag, and matched in design the gold
clasp
Beaded bags in floral and tapestry
effects are a joy to behold. All-OVer
beaded purses with strap attached vie
in popularity with the large beaded
bag. Beaded bags boast of gold cords
run through draw string at the top
and are often fitted with little gold ac-
cessories. Old engraved silver tops
with heavy silver chain are a feature
of many of the handsOmest ribbed silk
bags.

The flowing draped veil is never
quite out of style, but this season it
has surprised even itself by the favor
accorded 1t. Some hats rely upon their
trimming for the style that the veil
will give 1t and are simply trimmed
with good looking hat pins, band or
ruch Of ribbon, or a small ornament.
Black lace wells, as well as those in
black and white combinations, come I'm
such sheer effects that they might be
considered products of fairy land
COlOred lace wells, fine as cobwebs,
are worn TO harmonic or TO contrast
with the hat A veil of black spotted
net has the top and bottom edged with
wide plating, edged with narrow rib
bon. The top plating was held in place
with the ribbon, which ties with a bow
i'm front Of the hat. Wells of filet mesh
or octagon mesh are best liked bound
with narrow mOire ribbon. A veil Of
fine net which hung in ripples nearly
to the shoulders had velvet spray of
tiny daises half way up the front.

fashionable restaurants The crown
was flat and the close brim turned out
one inch at the top. Under the turn
over wreath of sand-COlOrcd flowers
with blue-colored Ccntcrs looked just
pretty enough to pick. A flat bow of
sand-colOrcd ribbon with blue edge
had short ends which fen few inches
below the hat
Another hat of similar shape had
flat roses of old rose and tan suede.
Panama hats of many new shapes
are making a strong bid for favor.
These are usually simply trimmed, and

ribbon, quill, or just a flower. which

A basket woven raffia plateau in
small sailor shape and undcrfaccd
with silk had an OWLS head made Of
cassowary feathers placed ON the edge
of the brim. The wheel effects OF
marble feathers with striped quills I'm

the tailored hat.
Dainty to look upon was a light blue
chiffon hat with square crown and
broad shaped brim edged with Leg
horn. Around the crown ana edge Of

black velvet ribbon, and here and
there was a bouquet OF small pink
roses, small bunch OF grapes and

It's as if 1 had something don't

Confession is very often a good
thing for him who recelveth and him

would get out in the open, like Broth

Like Brother Quick, often feel
that my automobile is something
don't need and don't deserve-and
don't want, too. But don't get Her
bert's thievish feeling, at all, upon
meeting some footsore, needy broth
er. There l am, riding in fear of the
police, thinking of the mileage cost
of 35 to so cents the mile, listening
for the bursting of $40 tires, and pre-
ferring to walk, and down in the road
is trudging a fellow needy, perhaps,
but happy in not owning an automo-
bile. !

chine, city tax on, machine, license
tag tax, head light, tail light and all
that? Does he miss seeing all the
beautiful scenery and see only the
chuckholes and the elegant chances
to skid over into bitches? He does
not! .,.- ...
Say, Herbert, do you remember the
times when we simply had to walk?
Why, it was full two miles and a half
to school! But you could go to it
barefooted, and there were mudholes
beside the road, with pollywogs in
'em, and it was fun scuffing your
bare toes through the warm dust of
the road Member that time we
gathered the green fruit balls of the
mandrakes and had a rafting old
pitched battle? And when we ran,
onto a chipmunk on the old rail
fence, didn't we have race for your
life? Can't you see the lines of gold,
painted by the sun between the tree
shadows? Can't you hear the breeze
playing tunes in the tree tops? Isn't
the meadow lark's sweet call still
ringing somewhere way back in your
souls recesses? -- ..t
Saw old fellow, you walked. It
was the fun. 1t was living. 1t was
being a part of kind old Mother
Earth. 1t was seeing, hearing, tast-
ing, feeling the glorious, free gifts of
God. And they are all still here, even
for old plugs like unto US. Let's get
down into the road and travel with
the fellow who seems to need every
thing but has got what we have not!
We don't have real fun in riding in
our big automobiles, now do we,
Herbert? We have luxury, a close
relative of laziness. We betray our
ivers, kidneys, muscles and souls to
obtain a luxury. Pretty soon, when
we are about two-thirds atrophied,

that our luxury is necessity. We
