SAPPHIRE MOST POPULAR
OF ALL PRECIOUS STONES

NEW YORK, Dec. 6.-The Sap.
phIre has superseded the ruby as a
fashionable jewel. according to ad-
vices from London. This is chiefly
due 10 the fact that many imitation
rublcs have made their appearance.
The gem Is easily countcrfelted and
the counterfeit Is difficult to detect
on the other hand. the sapphire can
not he counterfeited with success.
Diamonds and pearls are still. as
always the most expensive and most
fashionable Of Jewels. Both have
advanced more than 100 per cent in
price since the war began and PROM
isc to 20 higher. The South African
diamond mines. the worlds principal
sourC" OF supply have been con-
frontcd with "A labor shortage and
the output has been much reduced.
The oriental pearl fisheries, as far
us large pearls are concerned, have
been worked out and are producing
only small gems, and importations of
small pearls, both In this country
and Europe, have been curtailed by
the war. As result, American
fresh water pearls are acquiring a
greater vogue and a wider market.

Many Horse Shows World it seems.
Al, Piping Rock has
given up its an
nual show, while Mineola and Long
Branch also will be without their an
nual exhibitions. The chief reason, of
course, is that the necessary expendi-
lures may better be employed in war
relief work. Then. too, SO many of the
exhibitors are now serving with our
Army or Navy that it would be rather
a difficult matter to get up an interest
ing program. In town, however, the
usual spring horse show is to be held
at Durland's on the Gath. o5th and
26th, the proceeds to be applied to the

pathetic and the contrast between the
