zens AS the times grew more

that some had different rings for
different seasons OF the year
Great diversity of decoration ap-
peared in these rings. Some were
adorned with portraits of friends or
ancestors. also with religion or
NEUROLOGICAL emblems. Some Of
these were engraved upon the gold.
or whatever metal the ring was
made of: others upon the gems with
which they were set. In this later
art, that of engraving figures on
gems, those ancient artists are
known to have excelled, and few
modern artists are considered TO
have equaled them.
There are many picturesque tales
and superstitions connected with the
rings of olden times. For example.
in Venice, the ring is the symbol OF
dominion and every year on Ascen-
sion day. the doge filings a ring into
the Adriatic as a token Of the sub
lection of the sea TO the city Of
Venice. The ancient Norseman is
said to have pledged his word by
passing his hand through a large
silver ring which was dedicated to
such ceremonies The wedding ring
! dates from before the Christian era.
The Jews used most elaborate ones,
beautiful specimens of workman
ship in gold and enamels and fiji
gree. Just as giving over his sig
net ring by one man TO another was
considered a mark of the highest
confidence, so the bestowing- of a
ring by the husband upon his wife
meant the same thing. that she was
thereby taken into his confidence.
Betrothal rings were also worn in
early times; those made of two
hoops and known as Gemmel rings
were popular. so were plain gold
hoops and also, with some peoples.

goldsmiths of ancient nations excel

and hammering of precious metals;
they did nothing mechanically. Now
adays, instead of working i'm the

Rings and Their Origin

oglyphics Rings OF ivory or pOrce-
lain or colored and glazed clay were
possessed by the poorer and less
powerful people The women OF
those times are believed TO have
been fond OF rings and TO have had
many beautiful ones. The kings
historians tell US. wore rings on all
their fingers, even their thumb s
ThOthmes III possessed an unusual
ring OF gold with a revolving bezel
signet ring with which ne could
make two impressions, a seal and
counter seal. Among those early
signet rings were some with bezelS
of deep blue porcelain, bearing busts
of a Pharaoh in high relief. Iron
rings were not known here until
after the Roman conquest, or about
the first century A. d.
Although ring money passed out
OF popular usage, the ring still re
tanned some unitarian value, as ex-
emplifed by the manner in which
il was employed TO seal packets or
caskets containing treasures. and in
the witnessing of signatures.
The ring was practically the sign
OF the freeman in ancient Greece
The devices on the earliest of these
were probably chased or engraved
upon the gold. AS they grew out OF
the useful signet class and became
more ornamental in character. the
custom Of setting them with preci-
Gus stones was introduced. With
this. il soon came about that men
were no longer satisfied with one
they wanted two, three or more. II
was about this time that the women
OF Greece began 10 be interested in
rings and 10 make a practice OF
wearing them. The Lacedaemon-
ians. however. quite in keeping with
their disapproval of anything bor-
dering upon luxury, are said to have
worn rings of iron.
As in Greece. the free men among
the Romans were entitled to wear
rings. Theirs. too. were, at first,
signets. and. throughout the years
down 10 the end of the Roman re-
public. those who advocated sim
plicity in all things contended them
selves with iron rings. II is said
that the Romans acquired the Gus
tom Of wearing them from the Sa-
bines. Gold rings were considered
a part of the official robes or dress
Of the ami assadors of the early
Roman republic. Later. the privi-
lege OF wearing these, the jus annuH.
was bestowed also upon the sena-
tors. chief magistrates and equities.
In the days Of the empire, however,
the rulers established the custom of
extending this right as they chose.
The Emperor Justinian is credited
with having presented il to all citi-

Although the ring today II what
might be called a luxury. a thing Of
intrinsic o. sentimental value, but
OF no particular use. it probably had
a highly practical origin. Accord
ing TO historians. the wearing Of
ornaments OF gold and silver dates
back 20 the time OF the discovery Of
those metals. The beginning OF the
rings OF the present was probably
the drilling OF holes through small
Jumps OF gold and silver, so that
they could be arranged on cords
and worn around the neck for safe
ty Thus the first rings. If one
might call them such, were strictly
utilitarian. AS the love Of beauty
grew. and il was found that these
metals could be easily worked into
various shapes, IL became the GUS
tom 20 beat them into small bands,
or rings. and later into the larger
bracelets. armlets and anklets. Then
came the ornamentation, simple at
first but more elaborate later. as
civilization and refinement OF taste
progressed Meantime the ring
money was lost sight of, and rings
evolved into articles OF personal
adornment; their original object,
which had been the safe-keeping
and convenience I'm carrying preci-
Gus metals. was forgotten.
With the decoration Of these
rings. sprang up the art of the gold
sraith. In ancient Egypt, so the
antiquarians tell US. this art became
highly advanced. Rings of exquisite
workmanship have been found in
the exploration OF old ruins. The
sculptures and hierOglyphs OF those
times show both finger rings, called
'tebh." and signet rings, called
"khatem." They, too. used rings Of
solid gold or silver as money. Finger
rings. however. were almost from
the beginning OF their history used
as emblems Of rank and power.
Away back in the days of Joseph
these we're worn, for We read in the
book Of Genesis. how Pharaoh, the
Egyptian monarch, took a ring from
his own finger and put il on JO-
.eph's nand as a badge OF authority.

this order. as these were used by
high officials They were usually

Different Ways 10 Prepare Rhubard for the Table

Now is the time for all GOOD
housekeepers to vary the daily
menu with rhubarb in various
guSes. Rhubarb was originally a
native plant Of central Asia. Much
has been exported from China. also
from Siberia; Persia and Turkey
nave also raised it, It is supposed
TO have been introduced into Eu-
rope somewhere around the 14th
century. In continental Europe.
however, it is grown rather more
for foliage than for food. Eng
land, though. uses rhubarb for food
and makes a most delectable tart
Of it.
In the United states, particularly
in New England, perhaps. where
pies are believed to be common
articles of diet, rhubarb is known
by the name of pie plant" and
rhubarb pie is a delicacy not TO be
spurned. This same plant also can
be used for making an excellent
Jam. Here are recipes for a few of
the dishes TO be made of this fresn
spring vegetable:

Silk and Wool Jersey Hold Sway

the waist extended down TO the hip
line. and from there downward the
skirt was OF white wool jersey.
There was a small yoke of the white
/ jersey at the neck of the dress. This
is one OF the novel ways in which
this popular material is used.
White jersey suits bound with
white silk braid or trimmed with
black and white check are in very
good style at present. They look
cool and summary.
All shades of gold and mustard
are high in favor and especially so
in the jersey cloths. Lavender and
purple in jersey cloth are also
among the popular colors of the
hour.
Gold silk Jersey has been COM
bined most successfully with gray
wool jersey in some suits and dress
es, and with dark tan wool jersey
in others. This combination of silk
and wool jersey is frequently used
| by the best dressmakers. In some
! se-fitting suits, with knee-length
coats, the silk is used for the sleeves,
sides and back OF the coat, and the
wool for bands down the front and
around the bottom of the coat, as
we'll as for the skirt.
Cool Summer VOileS.
Cool and refreshing summer voiles
in dainty lowered effects are charm
ing for the informal cotton frocks,
OF which every woman requires sew
eral for the distressingly hot days.
Now is the time to get them made.
The styles are generally simple.
Pleated, tucked or gathered skirts
combine with the simplest of waists
having a little fulness at the Shout
ders with an attractive collar edged
with lace or machine picot edging.
Soft pleats finished off with a
heading at the top of the skirt are
unusually pretty, as shown in the
sketch. The pulled pockets are a
charming novelty especially suited
TO this type of summer frock. A
long collar Of white organdy pr

dainty hot-weather frock.
II is the collar that makes the
blouse in a great many cases. Large
cape-like collars falling in points
over the shoulders and continuing
down the front of the waist are now
being worn. A blouse with one of
these new collars is illustrated. 1t is
fashioned of white organdy. which
is being used a great deal for blouses.
The skirt that accompanies this
blouse is OF one Of the smart wool
plaids. II has pocket sections at the
sides, giving a graceful draped eff

Plaids are lovely for sports skirts
and for other kinds of skirts, too.
They are worn with short coats of
a plain material and with slip-on
blouses for sports use.
The New Mannish Shirtwaist.
Mannish shirtwaists are growing
in favor. Some models of linen are
made with finely tucked fronts, like
those of mans shirt. In addition to
these tucks, there are little sprays
embroidered in colors on some OF
the waists and turnover collars of
pique.

tary spirit is also responsible for
the com bination of blue and red so
frequently seen. Blue dresses are
embroidered with red beads or red
silk, and in some very striking mod
els there are entire sleeves of red
with, perhaps, pockets on the skirt
showing a bright lining of red. Hats
also show the red and blue com.
bination, generally in touches of red
