BRACKETS STORY
OF PEARL PRICES
CLIPPED BY PAPERS

The story of Frank H Bracket, of
this city, of the sale of pearl has
travelled the rounds Of Wisconsin val
ley newspapers. Mr.. Bracket, it
seems, purchased pearl for $500 on
one occasion, pretty pearl, and know
ing the value of them, he was able to
dispose of it for $500. Later, when the
pearl was sold to some rich woman by
a jeweler, it brought $1,700.
AS quoted by the Stevens Point
Journal, Mr.. Bracket says: mot only
are perfect pearls of great value,
pearls of irredescent hues, glowing
and beautiful, found in clam shells in
the Wisconsin and other rivers OF the
state, but also occasionally in these
shells are found freak formations,
caused by some unknown irritation
of the moIlusk" Mr. Bracket has made
pearl buying and trading a business
for many years and he has had some
very splendid orders from wealthy GUS
toners, some of whichthe has been I'M
able to fill because of the very rare
pearls demanded.

Cookies Of the Heart"

Psychologists will tell one that there
are no cookies" in the heart. and yet
people have asseverated for many
years that certain incidents have
warmed the cookies of their hearts.v
Psychologists have been puzzled over
the expression. and so far have sought
In vain its derivation. The theory
most favored lies in the general re-
semblance. more fancied perhaps than
real, between the human heart and
the cockleshell, the base of the heart
being compared to the hinge OF the
bivalve.
Whether by coincidence or other
wise, the scientific name for the
cockleshell family is cardium, mean
ing the heart. from the Latin. although
originating In the Greek language.
The cockleshell long ago was the en-
blem of the pilgrim returning from
the Holy land.

"1AMPS" WHO
MADE HISTORY
By JAMES C. YOUNG.
AN uHcRoWNED QUEEN {
ROME.

a n EXQUISITE picture In the Tosio
gallery Of Brescia. Italy, still pre-
serves for us the charming face Of
Tullia d'Aragona, the most noted
beauty of Italy in the first half of the
Sixteenth century. Tullia's father was
churchman and her mother a cour-
tesan. She grew up to be the mistress
of many accomplishments. and has left
behind one of the strangest books in
the world, dedicated to platonic love
by one whose loves were anything but
platonic.
1T is better to be loved than to
love- she wrote. .'In being loved we
are exerting influence, while in loving
we are merely passive agents Of
motive force"
When Tulia's young Ioveliness be-
gan to attract attention in Rome. no
women were permitted at the court Of
the Vatican. Because of it's churchly
character 1t was not deemed fitting
that women should be admitted there.
And Italian ladies' of that day did not
hold free intercourse with the other
sex. This resulted to the advantage
formally. Their houses became the
centers Of society.
Tullia soon became the recognized
mistress of this society. and the first
men of the world paid court at her
feet. She exercised political influence.
lived lavishly. and was the uncrowned
queen of Rome. Poets sang of her,
charms, churchmen. soldiers and
statesmen contended for her favors.
SO many duels were fought about her
that at last she was compelled to
leave Rome.
In Siena she met with what must
have been the great humiliation of her
life. Duke Cosmo had issued an order
that all women of easy ways must
wear the Yellow Veil. which consisted
a finger in width. And the proud Tul-
liza was called to account for not obey
ing the order. Conceive Of her scorn!
But it has been recorded that she es-
capped this indignity and Immediately
left Siena.
She was famous for her dresses, par
ticularly her diamond-encrusted slip
pers. and the gowns she affected be-
came the style of all Italy. She made
as great an impression in Venice as
she had in Rome. but alas in cryp-
tic legal list of courtesans, preserved
in the Venetian archives, we find the
name of Tullia. The law would not
acknowledge her to be the fine lady
whom the world acclaimed.
