New York. Sept. 2s.-The longer the
earring the better.
The drip" ear ornament seems to
have outclassed. for length. any of the
antique forerunners fashioned by pre-
historic Jewellers for cable-dwelling
bellies.
Earrings, indeed, reach pretty far
this year. for these long pendants are
to be worn not only with dress" cos
tunes but with tailor-mades.
Up to date, the strictly tailored
woman has confined herself to the
small button earring. But now she can
go to any length she want sin ear pen
dants.
The new earrings are shown in every
form. shape and color. Jet, of course,
is always effective.
The three division pendant formed
in links is good.
The variations in the pendant range
from the oblong hoop with inner
loops. to the big circle. These often
bear much ornamentation.
Tassels of pearls, often bejeweled
with rubies or emeraIds. are replicas
Of antiques. One stunning pair shows
n pear-shaped pendant. from the CEN
ter OF which savings n drop of jet.
The possessor of antique earrings
is indeed fortunate for most of the
moderns follow the antique styles.

women UP AGAINST
MARRIAGE PAYMENT
Old System Of Buying Girls
Being Opposed

Taiwan. Formosa. Sept. 30.-The
world movement of woman's enamel
patton has struck Formosa at a time
when the high cost OF wives Is being
felt severely. The women. who are
mostly OF the Chinese race. are de-
mandinR the abolition of the system
OF engagement money which is paid
by their suitors when the marriage
contract is made. declaring that the
payment OF money to their parents ~
an insult to their dignity and position
as froe-born women.
A young woman OF education, a
graduate from n girls school. COM
mand as much as 1900 to 1000 yen.
(s750 to $4,000 as engagement money
and such n sum Ii a very desirable
addition to the family fortune these
days. But these girls refuse to consider
themselves livestock and decline mar
riage without personal consent and
with a bridegroom of decent appear
ance and sufficient education.
Most Formosan marriages are ar
ranged on the basis OF the engagement
money and the bride-to-be has little
TO say about the matter.
There are young women who insist
that the trouble with engagement
money Ia that II In too high and de-
sirnble suitors are often away because
they cannot pay the price demanded.
Thore is much in this argument which
appeals to Formosan women. and
certain number OF the less modern
women are demanding that engage
mont money be radically reduced to
n point where matriony will be easier
of accomplishment for them.
The Formosans are polygamists.
But tho modern tendency is to remain
satiafied with only one wife. And IL
a. said that II engagement money does
not decrease soon the habit of plural
marriages will decrease too. because
very few men can AFFORD TO purchase
more than one wife ut present high
prices.

what Whitley said.
Nor did she. Henrietta Hen was
altogether too pleased with herself
and her new family to pay much at
tention to anybody else's remarks.
Il hope" said Henrietta, that
you'll come to see my family often. As
the youngsters grow, I'm sure they'll
get handsomer every day"
The neighbors thanked her. And
crowding about old Whitley they
moved away. Old Whitley just had
to go too. She couldn't help splut-
tering a little. ii
What a vain, empty-headed crea-
ture Henri tia Hen ISL she exclaimed.
She doesn't know that one of her
brood is nothing but a duckling.'

they learned what 1T was that Henri

stepped aside from her nest and LET
them peer into IL.

lady in white. We'll, what's all the

This is the first family you've
Matched, isn't it?" Polly Plymouth
Rock inquired.
Henrietta Hen said that it was her
first brood.
Her neighbors wanted to be pleas
ant. So they told her that her chill
dren were as fine youngsters as any
body could ask for. And the old
white dame, squirting at the nest
lings. said to Henrietta:
They're the finest you've ever had
|. But there's one of them that
has a queer look.
All the other visitors tried to hush
her up. They didn't want to hurt
Henrietta Hens feelings. 1t was her
first brood of chicks; and they could
forgive her for thinking them the
best in the whole world. So when
they saw chat old Whitley intended to
be disagreeable they began to cluck
their approval of the youngsters,
hoping that Henrietta wouldn't notice

UNCLE ABB SAYS

If you think conditions are inn
proving your thought makes them
improve.
The fellow who takes the days
work more seriously than the days
pay will always have pay enough.
When you talk hard luck you help
spread it; poor mouth never gets
rich purse.
The task lone joyously is the task
done we'll; the man who can't take
joy in his job, needs another Job.
Farmers are natural optimists; no
pessimist could plant tree.
You can't be independent and in
debt at the same time.
Do you take daylight and dark as
mere matters OF course? Or are they
Gods good gifts for the blessings of
work and sleep?
On. of the best ways to find out
what you can do and to do it, is to
learn the things you can't do and
then stop wasting time on them.
Buy and buy many things you
can't afford-and you can't afford
anything by and by.
One wishes there were as much
interest in the shortage of homes as
there seems to be in the shortage OF
Life.

 Mrs. Ferguson was arrested in Phoenix on Nov. 3 after she had att tempted to sell the car, 1920 Olds- mobile, to a local dealer. When she failed to satisfactorily prove owner ship of the car, a wire to Florida brought the information to hold her until Deputy Johns arrived.

 Original Principal Stands
 That structure stands as it seems to me. clear and firm, and I cannot help thinking that in the broad out line whatever may happen in these discussions, during the next few weeks, that structure will remain as it was presented by it's original arch- itects, for the admiration and for the use of mankind.
 T have little more to say except this: It is easy to estimate in dollars or in pounds, shilling and pence, the saving to the taxpayer of each of the nations concerned which the adop- tion of this scheme will give. It is easy to show that the relief is great. It is easy to show that indirectly, it will. as I hope and believe, greatly stimulate industry, national and in ternational and do much to diminish the difficulties under which every civilized government is at this time Ia hOring That can be weighed, measured, counted, all that is a mat fer of figures. But there is some thing in this scheme which is above and heyond numerical calculation. There is something which goes to the root which is concerned with the highest international morality. This scheme after all what does it do, it makes idealism a practical proposi- tion.
 Tt takes hold of the dream which reformers. poets. publicists, even potentates as we heard the other day, have from time to time put before mankind, as the goal to which human endeavor should inspire"
