Yes, to tell the truth, there seems
to be in many parents minds the sug-
gestion of something a trifie naughty
about earrings, and that is undeubt-
edly why they remain in such favor
with fashion.
There was time when we felt that,
with the bob, earrings would have to
go. We couldn't imagine the combi-
nation. True, Spanish and other pi-
rates are depicted with earrings-and
short hair-but who wanted to look
like pirate? Aside from this. ear
rings seemed as Inappropriate to bob

prejudice, and now most every bobbed
girl you see has earrings In her un-
pierced ears. II doesn't seem to mat

one should say by the ear when s1eak-
ing of earrings. The girl whose face
is sketchcd in the cut wears large
mauve, single pearl earrings, with a
necklace of mauve and white pearls.
Then there Is a set Of earrings and

blue pearls and sapphlres. Dangling
earrings making use of a green, a

HOW 1T STARTED

ton TO the Latin "clericus," meaning
priest. And, during the Dark Ages,
the priest was the scholar of the
community, usually the only one who
could read or write. When another
was known to have this advantage
he was usually taken into the service
Of the church to make records and
keep books, and he. too. was called
a cleric or clerk. Even today, Incl
dentally, the word clerk" has a
place in church parlance for the lay
man who performs some minor &C.
cleslastical office. And so closely as
sociated was the ability to read and
write with those in the church that
the old privilege of benefit of
clergy" by which priests were free
from the authority of the secular
courts, was extended to all clerks. or
those who could read and write!
With the growth OF education, of
course, the two offices became sepa-
rate and distinct, but their old as
sociation survives in the story of
words.
