A flat shaped vase of en-
erald green jade.
BY GARRETT p. SERVIss.

There is a great charm about the stone
called Jade. which. from prehistoric
times. has been carved into ornaments
and implements. 1t is a crose-grained,
hard. massive substance, showing a
peculiar lustre on the cut surfaces
and possessing distinctive color, usually
some shade or blending of green or blue.
1t is sufficiently rare to prevent objects
made of 1t from becoming commonplace,
being found only in moderate quantities
In certain parts of the world.
China has always been famous for its
jade, and IL is found also in Siberia,
Turkestan, New Zealand, Egypt and
northwestern America. Another name for
II Is nephrite, from the Greek word for
kidney, an old belief being that II had
curative powers over kidney diseases.
There are two varieties-jade proper
and Jadeite. The former is a silicate OF
calcium and magnesium. and the latter

In his "Mineralogy" says that the alumni

tanned which does not at all coincide

paratively few of these accidents are due
to the fault Of motormen or drivers. but
to pedestrians or passengers.
In the month OF August last out OF

Externally the two varieties appear so

Recent examination has shown that

cal composition Is the only sure clue.
However. for the collector of antique

the question OF the chemical composition

Importance. since whether 1t be Jade or

artist upon material suitable to express

In prehistoric times Jade or iadeite was

as stone axes. This has given rise to the

Nothing in all the world can convince
a woman that man is not absolutely
justified for being in love with her. Moth
ing can convince her that she IL not being
cheated out OF her birthright and given
an unfair deal and being abused and ne
elected and generally maltreated by
malicious fate unless her progress through
life is marked at intervals by admiring
males.
Everyone Of us has enough sane judy
ment to know when a man Is making a
fool of himself by falling in love with
somebody else. But when it comes to the
personal singular, judgment fails. We
don't have to deserve love or to win it
we just want IT. Ana by the force of
wanting we expect to attract It; while
because Of the force Of that same desire
we think the tide of life ought to go out
OF its way and digress about all obstacles
in order to wash up on the shores at
our feet q shipwrecked mariner who will
exclaim at once and in glowing terms at
our own first person singular supreme
charml
We want acknowledgements we must
have It.
And the ways in which we set out to
get Il. oh. my sisters, are strange and
wonderful-end wonderfully Intellectual
We make ourselves fine with gay raiment.
We learn all the futile little tricks Of
modern society. We manever 20 out
shine other women. We cater to the very
characteristics in men which in our
hearts we least admire-and which, when
deliberately appealed 10. fail to yield last
ing or deep response. We make ourselves
cheap and conspicuous and easily attain
able and lower our best standards. And
all Of this for admiration and the glitter
OF compliments
And even while we are chasing In a
circle as amusingly futile as the one Pus-
sykins describes when she whirls after
her own fluffy TALL there are the big
emotions waiting outside the pathetic
little circle we choose for our daily round
Masculine admiration is well worth
having. But it is not to be confused with
mere compliments, or with amused toler-
ance or with patronizing tribute to the
weaker sex" No grown woman can
really want a man to like her in the way
he would an adorable pretty child. No
being Of flesh and blood can live on the
sort Of glowing criticism a beautiful
picture might call forth. And no woman
Of character can be satisfied TO appeal to
man save in an intellectual way.
But most Of us go unerringly after
what analysis surely shows US we do not
want. We don't discriminate between
praise and flattery and honest admira-
ton. For the sake of the icing we swal
low cake that is made of moldy flour and
cold storage eggs and rancid butter.
We envy the woman who is snowy and
popular We despair because of some girl
who trails through promenades with a
string OF courtiers. We want to have
other women see that we are admired.
