PURE COLD TOO
DELICATE FOR
HARD WEAR
connoisseur Explains Why
Precious Metal Has Green
and Reddish Hue.

The question is often asked in
jewelry shops why some OF the gold
ornaments have a greenish hue,
while others are of reddish color
and colorless gold, or the so-called
white gold. 1t should be borne in
mind that the original color of the
precious metal is yellow-gold, and
that alloys of other less valuable
metals impart to it the green, red
and white sheen.
| Gold work must be built up out
of thin sheets or wires, not filled
up out of the solid. Gold. by its
very ductility and malleability, in
vites this method Of treatment, and
it Is the one most used in all the
finest periods. To work in solid
gold is to waste precious metal
needlessly. Used thin it gives a
beauty unattainable by = other
Imeans.
The quality of the gold to be
used depends on the nature of the
work. For enameled paneels fine
gold is best, but on account of. its
extreme softness it will not stand
much wear. To give it hardness, it
Is alloyed with varying quantities
or copper and silver. Copper by
itself gives the gold a red color,
silver by itself a greelTish color: the
TWO together gives the alloy almost
the original color again. -.
The best alloy, both for work
ing and appearance afterward, is
naturally that which is most nearly
line gold, namely, % carat. The
next best is 20 carat, while the ordi.
nary gold Of trade jewelry is 1S
carat. But this, If alleged with
copper. only, is not pleasant in
color, is much harder to work, and
Is liable to crack If used for RI
pousse work. If 1t is alleged with
silver only the alloy is paler In
color than gold, but it is very
peasant to work. and is very
ductile and kindly. For repousse,
gold may be allied with silver down
TO IL carat; but beyond IL carat the
aiioy looks much more like silver
tnan gold, and the effect of It is
not, perhaps, much better than
goid'washed silver. Yet it is as
Wen TO remember that the addition
OF even a small quantity of gold to
SILVER gives a richness of color
Whlch cannot be obtained in any
INShOA way.
Many of the older relics and
curios were made from pure gold,
nence their fragile character, for
the metal in its pure state is too
soft for useful wear. In England
the nominal division of gold is into
~ carats; two. carats are allowed
Tor alloy, thus the best quality en-
ployed for commercial uses is %
carat, and of this quality few
Things other than wedding rings are
now made, unless they are OF

ara named is of comparatively re.
cent dates, for 1t was not until 1898
that IL carat gold was EMPLOYED for
Jewelry of the best quality, in more
recent times standards of is. ~ and

GAG RULE
Abolition Is Favored by En-
tire Association-Peyser !
Refrains From Vote.

Double barreled fire was leyeled
at the school board gag rule last
night when the District of Columbia
Public School Association, with Capt.
julius t. Peyser presiding, de-
nounced the censorship and asked
for it's abolition.
Captain Peyser, sponsor of the
rule, and president of the associ-
alton, did not vote on the resolu-
tion which his association passed.
The vote against the gag rule was
unanimous.
j. s. Yaden, who introduced the
rule, said that he believed the Of
ficials at the Franklin School had
"misinterpreted" its purpose.
Mrs. Giles Scott Rafter, president
of the Congress of sMother and Pa,
rent Teachers Associations, said
that the rule had had the effect Of
intimidating teachers all over the
city and following her declaration
the resolution was brought to q
vote.
The only ones who are restricted
by the rule are the officers at the
Franklin School. It is so construct
ed that 1t applies only to the Frank
lin School and it. does not in any
way effect any other teacher or
school employee.
Franklin School officials who wish
to talk must get formal approval
from the superintendent Of schools
or one Of the assistant superin-
tendentS.
