New York found himself the fortu-
nate possessor OF half dozen neck
shop, where they were thrown over a
string in the back of the store. He i'm
mediately purchased them. Then the
French fashion found its way across
the ocean into America, and the de-
signer attached his necklaces to cost
ly gowns. either at the neck or at the
waist line. and they added to the price
he asked for the garment.
The highest quality OF quartz IS
turned into these necklaces. Amber
toise shell is high in the line. Buckles
are made of the latter. also linked
belts, and then ringed necklaces that
end in great plaques richly wrought
in an open design.
1t may be that the amber-colored
ornaments are most desired by we'll
dressed women. The reason for this
lies In the extraordinary popularity Of
brown this season. The rich yellow
tones bring out to the best advantage
the golden brown velvets. satins and
tulles of the hour.

There are jet necklaces carved in
China which are equally alluring.
France seems to have found more
quartz for these ornaments than any
other country, and yet, In America
there is vast storehouse OF lovely
geological formations which. IL right

make the American necklace more de-
manded than any in the world.

THE French designers have brought

from an ornamental past. They are
not made of Jewels, and yet they
are costly and the supply OF fine ones
rapidly diminishes. Once upon time
our Indians bartered peltries Tor
bright beads. Such was the foundation
of some of our great American FOR

There Is nothing fastidious or deli
cate about the new chains; they are as
heavy in appearance as medieval ar
NOR. They are made Of great rings or
long. oblong links, and the plaque or
medallion in which they end looks
like a Japanese crest. 1t Is as full of
color and as massive as the Egyptian
jewelry of other centuries.
All Of these new chains are short.
The big, carved medallion rests on
the bust. They do not reach to the
waist, which is the desire of the pre-
cious stones. The woman who owns

There are some who question the
beauty of such heavy quartz as is in
the new fashionable chains resting
against the skin Of the neck, but as a

All Schools Must Organize,

While most of Hamilton county's
schools have organized for Junior
Red Cross service, there still remain
few which have not. 1t is expected
that all Iowa schools will attain the
100 per cent Red Cross standard be-
fore the close of the year and to gain
this, Hamilton county must do her
share with other counties. The Junior
Red Cross leaders for this county
urge all teachers who have not yet
made their report to do so just as
soon as possible. Membership blanks
must be filled out and returned to
Red Cross headquarters before the
first of June. Hamilton county has
1872 rural schools, nine town schools
and two parochial schools, and more
than 5000 children attending these
schools are enrolled in the Junior
movement.

Negro farm demonstration agents of
Alabama. at recent meeting at Tuske-

they hope will put an end to the old
custom in the south especially among
farmers, of observing Saturday or part
of it as holiday. They formed an
organization known as the Omitted

in cooperation with the United States
department of agriculture, are urging
farmers and farm laborers throughout
the south to work six days in every
week to meet the war need for food

the real good things on the program.

THE CAST OF CHARACTERS

Much anxious thought has been eX-
pended in selecting a class play this
year. After careful elaboration, ut
Pays to Advertise" was the one chos-
en-. This familiar slogan, which sure
ly ought to please the editors and
merchants, is the caption for de-
lightfully spicy comedy in three acts.
The play itself has been decided
hit for some time, being one of the
big attractions of the Redpath-Vawter
Chautauqua of last year. 1t was only
obtainable upon the payment of a $25
royalty, so the patrons may rest as
sured that they are going to get
something very much worth while.
The play is to be given at the Ar
mory, Friday evening, May "a, and
reserved seats will be available at
Teed's on Wednesday morning. All
seats are to be reserved. Price rs,
35, and so cents.
There will be excellent music for
the occasion, furnished by the high
school orchestra, Miss Rosalind Cook,
directing.
Miss Mabel Cowden, who has
charge of the drilling, is putting in
every spare moment with rehearsals
all this week.
