Phoebe gave tiny gasp that

Daisy, and after a breezy flutter

~ NE Of the most perfect dia-
u monas known. weighing 40
carats, was found by slave
in the Partial mines, in India, in
1901.
According to tradition, the youth,
with Spartan courage concealed
the stone in a wound on his leg,
beneath his bandage. Penniless
and seeking passage on an Eng
lish boat, he revealed the stone to
the skipper, whose cupidity caused
him to cast the wretched slave over
board.
Reaching Madras the murderer
disposed of the pebble" to Jamch-
and, a dealer; then, conscience
stricken, he committed suicide.
Thomas Pitt, the English gov
ernOr of Fort George, purchased it
for 10000 pounds. The cutting and
polishing in London reduced its
weight to 1861 carats. Then, in
1917, the now famous Pitt" dia-
mond was sold to the Duo de'Or-
leans, regent of France, for 1876 900

little East Side furniture dealers,
things became more amiable than
ever. The dining-room pieces
Tom had discovered were indeed
a find and the price very reason
able. We all glowed with admira-
ton.
While Tom was concluding his
bargain, Phoebe was browsing
around the cobwebby old loft.
Suddenly she cried out in admira-
ton. I ran to her and found her
standing in front of a marvellous
chest of drawers like very slim,
narrow .highboy. 1t was very
graceful, with it's beautifully var
nished wood and brass handles.
The old cabinetmaker who owned
the place came over in vast de
light.
''See, show your' he cried.
Then he pulled out the three
lower drawers and followed this
by reaching in deeply to pull
out two wooden pins in, the
back of the framework. Where
upon. out came the section Of the
framework which had held the
three drawers. And then, cum
ningly hidden in the seemingly
solid thickness of wood which
was the bottom of the highboy,
we saw a tiny secret drawer no
bigger than a little limp leather

the lady in question seemed very
debonair as to manner and very

impression, as she turned to give
q word of direction to her driver,
was that she was valuable wom-

quite ignorant of that intrusion
as the car gathered speed and
took the turn at the next corner.
Sadie Wimpel, as Kestner sank
down in the seat beside her, did
not scream. She made no move

"AClAL packs are or genuine
merit in refreshing the skin.
While the efficacy Of various
''muds" has been proclaimed for
this purpose, it has been discovered
that one of the most beneficial
treatments for the skin may be
prepared by anyone right at home,
with plain gelatine, at cost of
few cents. Hare is the formula:
To one heaping tablespoonful Of
plain gelatine, such as you buy ut
the grocer's, add the juice Of one
lemon, and allow to stand ten min
utes. Then add one cup Of boiling
water and stir until the gelatine
is thoroughly dissolved. Add drop
or two Of your favorite perfume If
desired. Place in the icebox to
chill. Massage the face and neck
with the jelly and leave on over
night. In the morning use your
favorite soap, f. soft cloth and hot
water.
This recipe will last about ten
days or two weeks, SO it really is
quite an inexpensive method of
facial regeneration.
