When father is a-cussin'
An brother is a-fussin'
An mother is as peevish as a cat;
When the house is hot as hades
An you're envying the ladies'
Who can dress in silks an voiles
and things like that;
When you wish that linen collars
Were as scarce as silver dollars
An that coats were stored in moth
balls every spring;
Then sister comes a trippin'-
In her sweater. looking rippin'-
Down the stairs-a cool and dainty
summer thing.

The Story of the Earring

w yORN by the Kings OF Egypt,
M and extremely popular
w among the ladies or ancient
Rome, the earring lost favor until
the gay days OF the Stuart period,
after which it again dropped out.
and has now once more regained
popularity.
The very earliest mention OF this
form OF decoration is 10 be found
in the Book of Genesis. Jacob, il
will be remembered. on reaching
Bethel buried certain strange idols,
among them some earrings belong
ing TO his family.
Doubtless these ornaments were
regarded purely in a pTopitiatory
light as amulets or tallsmans, such
being still their principal office in
the East today. That they are OF
Eastern origin Ks certain, and among
Orientals, with the exception Of
Greeks and Hebrews. it has always
been the custom Of both sexes TO
wear them. while frequently only
one ear was adorned. Among other
races, however, earrings were al
ways worn in pairs. and by the
women only.
Excavation has frequently brought
to light statues. Greek, Egyptian,
Assyrian. and Etruscan. TO the ears
OF which were attached rings or
marvellous beauty. and commonly
OF two distinct types-the earlier
one consisting Of two halves and
decorated with some animals head,
as that of lion or bull: the later
attached 10 the ear by a hook in the
form OF a rOsette, with numerous
pendants bearing delicate figures

musical instrument
In Egypt the earrings were of an
extremely simple character, often
merely "A rinE-shaped hook hung
with some symbOlical pendant. They
were, however. used in sacred
sense. being worn by the sovereign
on great occasions. as may be
judged from the massive head upon
the statue of Rameses the Second in
the British Museum, in the ears OF
which holes are pierced.
Wonderful workmanship is seen
in the ear rings recovered from the
tomb OF Greek settlers in the Cri-
mea, while the sepulChrcs Of an
cient Etruria have yielded rings moi

with small enameled figures Of
birds, such as cocks, swans, geese,
peacocks. and doves. The Phoenic-
ians. we are told, used to pierce
the upper part as well as the Iobes
or their cars, inserting plain rings,
from which depended drop ped
pendents or ornamental baskets Of
grain. Rings were also attached to
the hair on each side Of the head.
Simple enough, but of priceless
value, were the pearl earrings worn
by Roman ladies. Early Bryan

cast TO a large extent. though US

ornamented. Earrings were put to
strange uses in those luxurious

During the Renaissance period
earrings were fairly popular on the
Continent. as is shown BY severa
well-known portraits OF that time.
Later on Queen Elizabeth was in
the habit OF wearing pearl pear
drops. while Mary Queen OF Scots
seems also to have possessed a
number of these, Judging BY the

Curiously enough, they were az

which nightly shocked the Puti-

Uusually only one ear was orna-
mented. as in the portrait Of the
Earl of Somerset in the National
Gallery The Duke OF buckingham
was famous for his diamond ear
rings. while other great men VINO
followed this mode were Shake
speare and Sir Walter Raleigh.
The last notable example of man
wearing earrings seems to have
been Charles the First. who hung
a large pearl in his left ear.
