Things Which Are Of Interest to
Precious Jewels.
How Canoes Are Cut.

Some of the old Greek canoes are
SO intricately chiSeled that we are led
to think the ancient cameo cutters
spent months working on a single
stone. Yet the hours they put in were
to good advantage, for a well carved
cameo is permanent thing. There
are canoes in existence which We're
fashioned hundreds and even thou
sands of years ago, but which are as
perfect as though they We're done
yesterday.
It was very stylish few centuries
ago for a person to wear cameo
likeness of his face. Men and women
Soth wore them. Queen Eliza beth
had several with her head on them.
I. One of the best, the Barbor cameo,
was made in honor of her for the
mercy she showed for a man con-
demned to die.
William Barbor had been ordered
burned to death by Queen Mary, who
was England's ruler at the time. He
was in prison awaiting the day of
his execution when the news came
that Mary had passed away. The new
queen, Elizabeth, pardoned Barbor.
To show his thankfulness, he pre-
sented her with cameo bearing her
picture.
Two kinds of engraving are done
on stones--inta Clio, which means cut
ting down into the stone, and relief,
such as cameo cutting. Onyx. chal-
cedony and sardonyx are among the
popular stones used for canoes be-
cause they have layers. Some of the
'onyxes have layers of different colors.
Agate is black and white and carne-
liam is red and white. The figure is
cut of the top section. which is usu
ally the lighter one, then the rest of
the layer is cut away, SO the figure
stands out on it's dark background.
Onyx is not one of the gems, yet it
is a valuable stone. The cameo cutter
pays too high a price for it to risk a
mistake in his carving. When he is
going to work out a figure he first
molds it in wax exactly as it is to be
in the stone, then he copies it line for
lire on the better material.
Two towns in Italy-Santa Lucia
and Tore de Greco-are at present
the center of the cameo trade. Many
of the canoes made there are only
) cheap coral and she'll limitations,
which are mounted in rings, scarf
pins and brooches and which sell for
a popular price. Real canoes, fault
lessly carved, are always expensive.

old stumps in the woods. The Caro-
lima wren is another which seeks a
woodland home. Marsh wrens prefer
a meadow or wet boggy place where
cattails grow.
In general, the wrens have a scold-
ing song. Sometimes they sound like
tree toads fussing away in the woods.
The Carolina wren is the most power

Mathews, the bird writer, says, he

that one uses in picking up a basket
of chips, and examined himself thor
oughly, to make sure he had not suf-
fered any broken bones. Carefully
counting his fingers, he found they
also answered the usual tally. There
were still exactly ten of them.
Pop Turtle then abandoned his idea
of riding, and decided that he wanted
a drink of cold, cold water.

There was an old well sweep in
the Turtle yard, which was operated
in the usual way by a long pole, a
rope, and bucket attached to the
rope, The rope had bean broken
number of times, and instead of sub
stitqting a new rope, Pop Turtle had
simply tied 1t together with old bits
of twisted rag, shoestrings and the
like.
Going to this we'll sweep, Pop Turtle
lowered the bucl1et into the water by
releasing the other end of the pole,
of course. When the bucket was
drawn up, filled with water, Pop
Turtle tied the other end of the we'll
sweep in place and bent over the
well for some purpose, directly under
the bucket The loaded bucket be-
came too heavy for the patched and
mended string that supported it.
Suddenly the string broke, and
down came the bucket, right on the
top of Pop Turtles bald head-bang!

Always, after this occasion, Pop
Turtle was apt to do things that
we're queer. strange. eFratie or at
least unusual. And when folks re-
marked about these eeeentFieities Ma
Turtle always reminded them that

At other times she explained PAS
queerness by saying that when baby
he had swallowed button.
Old Simon Blusjay said that the az
explained things as far as Pop Turtle
was concerned. But he asked to

STRANGE Radio Laws
In Foreign Countries

Recent radio regulations in Aus
.ralia require that every purchaser
of receiving set must present to the
radio goods dealer certificate of
license showing that he has sub
scribed to the service of the station
to which he wishes to listen in. When
the instrument is bought the wave
length is adjusted to the station to
which the customer subscrbes. If
he, wishes to listen in on other sta
tions, he must pay an additional sum
for the privilege. Sealing devices are
employed to see that radio fans do
no. overstep government rights.

tons are taxed 100 pesos year and
receiving stations pesos a year.

Famous Jenny Wren.

Jenny Wren, or Kitty Wren, as she

the wren, though one of the smallest
birds. was chosen king OF all animals,
winning over the. poHderous elephant
in an election which the animals had.
The different species of wrens in
America are very unlike in their
choice of haunts. The house wren
must be provided with dwelling,

/ It is so simple to slip into one of
the wrap-around o. side-closing coats
that very few women comparatively
til nix of having their coats made to
order. But this new typo front-bnt-
toned French coat is of another sort.
From Japan first came the idea of
the wrap-around coat, being derived
first in negligees and later for out
side wraps from the Japanese XII
mono. Apparently China has led us
back to the front-closing. for some
of the most distinctive Of these coats
are frankly suggestive of the man

idea to add interesting Innings, with
ornate landings and pockets, % that
this new type Of coat would appear
to most interesting advantage when
the edges were turned back. Quite

called Cambodian.
What of fur collars?
| There is, of course no special nov

and summer wraps, and perhaps there
is less evidence of it this season than
last, or the spring before last.
Who runs must read that the day of

waning. Chinese and Russian influ-

door, Most satisfactory substitute for
this enormous rolling collar is the
collar that is contrived from an ap-

around the neck, hanging over the
front or back in one long fringed end.
Martial ct Armand has designed

MI with the neighborhood of the
VI Big Pond know that Pop
= Turtle-Tommy Turtles fa-

in speaking of it, always refers to it
as Pops Artificial"
Maybe there is some connection be-
tween Pop Turtles artificial and
his temper, for Pop has a way occa-
sionally of blowing off" and flying
into rage about nothing in par
ticular.
One morning Pop Turtle was stump
ing about the yard of the Turtle resi-
dence, making vicious passes at in
animate objects that came in his path
and giving other signs that he was
about tq go into one of his regular
Tuesday morning RACES.
Ma Turtle bolted the kitchen door
and the little Turtles-Tommy, Susie
and Little BilIy-climbed up on top
of the high board fence, to be out of
harms way.

Pop Turtle evidently decided that a
ride would do him good, for he led
Old Dobbin-the hound dog riding
hoss of the family-out of his stall.
and with a certain amount of effort
and a very free use of the kings
English he finally managed to get the
saddle and bride on the hound to
suit his fancy.
Thus saddled and bridled for the
ride, Pop Turtle put on his sheepskin
gloves and prepared to mount, while
Tommy, Susie and Little Billy looked
on from the fence.
Grasping the pomfnel of the saddle
firmly with one hand and holding the
reins with the other, Pop Turtle made
lunge that he thought should place
him astride the hound. The lunge
fell short, however, and Pop Turtle
was forced to try it again, This time
he lunged upward little harder, his
temper rising perceptibly and aiding
him in the work. This time he came
very near to gaining the saddle, but
fell Just short of doing SO.
OF course, a sensible turtle would
have led his mount to a hitchinr
block, or a stump, or something, and
climbed into the saddle with perfect
ease.

that will BE appropriate for wear

cial wrap for every spring frock that
they offer for sale. You cannot go
wrong thus provided. 1t is very

can afford it.
Shall the spring coat be full length

! that enter a woman's head when she
suas about selecting or ordering a
spring wrap, or, less happily. takes
stock of left-overs in her wardrobe
to see what arrangements can be
made to make the old things do.
Very impoltant is the question of
length. With the present tendency
toward shorter skirts, the wrap is
usually worn slightly longer For the
woman who needs every possible sug-
Eestion of s1enderness this is the
better arran cement; but for the
young woman who really is quite as
1.-THE as she wishes to appear to be,
the shorter coat is often a wise Sc
lection. One of the smartest French
coat makers has been showing his
customers nothing but three quarter
length coats-with the frock showing
some four or five inches below the
coat.

THE cape of the season is long
rarely giving even a peep of the
frock beneath. Frequently frocks
and matching coats are made in pre-
oiseIy the same length. There is a
banana yellow crepe de chine frock
with a coat of the same color in
velour, lined with slate-gray satin.
Skirt and frock are of precisely the
same length. The same uniformity
of length marks a coat and frock of
black crepe satin and plaid chiffon.
To begin with there is tight black
satin slip. over which is hung a
straight tunic of plaid chiffon show
ing three or four inches of black
satin at the hem. The coat that ex-
tends to the edge Of the slip is of
black crepe satin, lined with the plaid
chiffon matching the tunic. About the
front and hem and cuffs of the satin
coat there is a border of rolled black
satin.
