Dull, Says an Expert.
In his book, 1.-The Magic of Jewels
and Charms" George F. Kunz, the
jewel expert. eXplOdes the sick pearl
fallaY. He says:
For years statement has been go.
ing through the press that pearls are
liable to become diseased and die and
that the famous necklace Of pearls pre-
sented by President Theirs of France
to his wife and bequeathed by Nine.
Theirs to the French government had
lost their luster and died. perhaps ow-
ing to the death Of the owner. For
there is an old belief that pearls. as
we'll as opals and turquoises. lose some.
Of their luster when the owner. or
wearer becomes i'll and change to
dull and lifeless hue when the owner
dies.
the writer showed that the pearls were
in good condition. and to confirm his
statement to this effect he had the di-
rector Of the Louvre museum write
him a letter. In this official communi
cation the director not only states that
the pearls had not sickened and died.
but that they were in as healthy a
condition as they had ever been.
1.-THE invariable experience of the
writer has been that whenever pearls
have been said to have suffered in this
way the true explanation has been that
they were old and poor at the time Of
their purchase and that this romance
was started on it's travels as an excuse
to cover up the defect of such pearls
and to arouse the belief that they had
been remarkably beautiful and valu-
able when they were originally &C.

\ CALENDAR party makes novel |
N and informal entertainment for
the evening of New Years day |
or any night during holiday week. It
is very pretty idea to make the invi |
tations look as much like the first page
Of one Of the single leaf calendars as
possible. Paste on a sheet of white
note paper leaflet from the calender
bearing the date on which the party
is to be held. Below this write:
This is an invitation hearty
TO my little calendar party.
Next Monday night at eight o'clock
Bring all the wits you have in stock.
Be sure to come whate'er the weather:

When the guests have arrived an
nOunce to the assembled company that
they have been entered as contestants
In calendar race. To prepare for it
take one of the single leaf calendars
which you can buy anywhere for a few
cents. This contains 365 leaves, or one
for. every day in the year. Tear the
leaflets from the cover and hide them
all over the house or apartment, in the
living room, hall or spare bedroom or
wherever you want your guests to go.
At given signal, the blowing of a
whistle or the ringing Of bell, every
body starts on a search for the leaflets.
This can be continued for as long or
as short time as desired.
The first prize should be given to the
person who has collected the greatest
number of days represented by the
calender leaves. This can be an Orna-
