ance IN Europe It was associated
with 4 number Of tragedies while it
was numbered among the crown Jew
els of France, the most notable of
which was the death on the guillotine
of Queen Marie Antoinette, whose IA
vorite jewel it was Lord Francis
Hope, son Of the nobleman who
bought it from EiasOn, married May
Yohe, the American actress and was
disgraced a few years later by the
elopement of his wife with Putnam
Bradlee Strong, son of a mayor of
New York.
May Yohe who became Lady Hope
laughed at the old superstition and
was never SO happy as when wearing
the diamond at her throat or in her
hair. After the jewel had passed out
of her possession, she went on in a
gay and spectacular career, seeming
lN fayorite of fortune, indulging
every caprice and enjoying every lux
uIy money could bring. But in the
case Of this fascinating and clever
woman, the diamonds tragic spell
apparently was only deferred. With
her fortune gone and all her gaieties
and luxury dim dreams of the past.
May Iohe, at last reports, was a
scrub woman earning a bare living
cleaning floors in a Tacoma office
building. She herself today believes
that the curse of the blue diamond
has at last fallen.
The Hope diamond at present is
owned by Mrs. Edward B. Mclean,
widow Of the former millionaire own
en- of the Cincinnati Enquirer who is
reputed to have paid 100000 for it.

though some connoisseurs prefer the

it from India and sold it to Louis
XIV in the seventeenth century. it
weighed 67l4 carats. Tt was stolen
with all the other crown Jewels of
France from the Garde Meuble in
Paris during the French revolution.
1t was one of the most remarkable
burglaries il history and the gems
stolen were worth several million dol
lars. The blue diamond. remained
lost until 1880 when Daniel Eliason,
a London ieWeler, bought it from an
impecunious wretch who was starv-

If this is 50, it may be necessary to
cut it into number of gems the in
dividual weight of which can not be
foretold.
Here is list of the greatest dia-
mOnds ever found in South Africa:
Porter Rhodes, 80 carats rough;
Stewart 22854 caTats rough, 100
carats cut; Tiffany $50 rough. 1851
cut; Victoria 1884, rough, 2S8l4 cut;
Victoria-NiZam 457l2 rough. I60 cut;
Jubilee $40 rough, 239 cut; Excelsior
97134 rough, cut into ten gems, the
largest of which weighs 68 carats;
Cullinan, 3,025a4 rough.
1t will be noted that only five of
these South African stones weighed
more in the rough than the new dia-
mond. The Excelsior, which was the
largest diamond ever found with the
exception Of the Cullinan, was also
discovered in the JaGersf0ntein mine
The Cullinan, which is history's
largest diamond, was found in the
Premier mine in 1905. 1t measured
4 by Pc by IL inches and was about
the size of an orange. 1t was SO big
there was no market for it. The
Transvaal colony finally purchased it
for S1,0OO,000 and sent it as a gift
to Edward VII of England.
1t was cut by Amsterdam experts
and the largest gem fashioned from
it weighs 516l2 carats and the next
largest 300 3-16 carats. These two
fragments of the great stone remain.

Diamonds are not only the most
beautiful Of jewels, but they are
among the best Of money invest
ments. The diamond which perhaps
has been handed down in your family
- an heirloom is worth from 100 to
$50 per cent more today than in the
days OF crlnolineS when your grand
mother wore it. Diamonds have in
creased IN value 80 per cent in the
last ten years. The four years Of war
advanced their price a third In the
markets all over the world. The war
advance was due TO the shortage of
labor in the South African mines. the
closing down Of the mines for eigh-
teen months and the submarine men
ace to shipping. 1t will be several
years before the diamond market re-
SQmes It's normal phase, and experts
can prove to you by figures which do
not lie that the price Of diamonds will
show continuing rise. In conse-
quence . diamond now IS not only as
attractive a gem as ever but is as
good an investment as gilt-edged
bonds and securities-With bigger
profits than most Of them.
Diamonds are fashionable. They
were always fashionable among the
wealthy Now they are fashionable
among the poor as well. They will
always be fashionable Other gems
may come and 90 in popularity, but
the diamond always holds its place of
supremacy in the public heart
Whether set in gold or platinum or
whatever metal, a diamond always
gives a certain distinction to its
wearer.
No nation in history ever has in.
dulged 50 lavishly in the fashion of
wearing diamonds as the United
States. During all the years Of the
present century, this country has
absorbed an average Of go per cent,
and during the war IS per cent, of the
output of the mines of South Africa,
which, in these latter days, when the
mines Of India are exhausted and the
mines of Brazil are running low, fur
nish 80 per cent of all the diamonds
in the worlds markets. A recent
estimate placed the value Of the dia-
monds owned in the United States
today at S1,350,000,000 This perhaps
represents a third Of al the diamonds
lin existence.
The new blue-white diamond Just
discovered viii take its place among
the great diamonds go history. If cut
INTO q single gem, it may be expected
to lose 60 per cent Of its weight This
would reduce il to a cut and polished
Jewel of perhaps $50 carats. How
ever this is by no means certain. It
may be reduced to 4 considerably
smaller weight because of flaws and
conformation which may make cut-
ting difficult i may. ii fact. be inn
possible TO cut it into 3 single gem

CH1CAGO.-The recent discov-
] cry of a blue-White diamond Of 388
cal.ats in the Jaegersfontein mine in
South Africa, has awakened the
worlds interest in the great dia-
naohds of history ana incidentally to
themarvelous growth of the diamond
trssae which, with the vast output Of
the South African fields to draw
upon has had difficulty in keeping
pace with the demand for diamonds
among all classes Of people
Diamonds were never 50 popular.

Diamonds are lucky-except one.
I'm early times, they were believed to

good luck to all who possessed them
The old myth still persists It has,
4 too, some basis in fact The man who
owns valuable diamond is lucky. If,
skeptically. one cares to split hairs,
there may be some doubt whether his
luck is due to the diamond, or the dia-
-uaond to his luck
The one unluc1y diamond is the
Hope Blue, the only one Of the great
historic diamonds owned in America.
The Hope Blue diamond has been
supposed for centuries to weave an
evil spell about all who owned on

which it has been associated might
seem to bear out the superstition.
Many have p0oh-poohed the old myth
but the fate Of May Yohe. the beauti-

Meanwhile Oracle. Billy's sister,

Well, two days later Karl camo to
school, looking rather tired. The
! children felt there was mystery In
the air, and what was their surprise
when Miss Annie got up and said:
IT want to tell you all about some
thing very fine and patriotic. One
little boy in the school, who happened
to come from another town, found he
couldn't sell many thrift stamps here.
so what do you think he did? He
had no money to travel. SO he coaxed
q delivery man who was going that
way to give him a lift about half way,
then he walked five miles to his old
home town and sold-guess how many
stamps!"
The children couldn't guess.
"One hundred dollars WORTH" said
Miss Annie. Then his friends paid
his fare home. Think Of that!
Doesn't that make you proud Of Amer
lean boys?"
The children looked at Karl, be-
cause, of course. they knew 1t was
Karl. "This is very queer" they
thought. maybe he's sorry he's a
spy!"
Billy and Dick talked 1t over later.
and Dick said maybe they ought to
warn Miss Annie about the German
