Revival i'm Mid-Victorian Jewelry
BY MARY MARSHALL.

Much AS we Georgians like to de
cry the modes and manners Of the
Nictorians, pitying our grandmothers
for the circumscribed world in which
they lived, there are every once in
while reviyals of the art of these
self same Victorians. We may scorn
their haircloth furniture. but just at
present we find their jewelry quite
delightful. Just how this revival of
interest in mid Victorian jewelry
came about it is not easy to say. But
the fact remains that in up to date
shops where a few months ago We
found nothing but so-called Oriental
jewelry, Russian jewelry, and Czecho-
SloVakian jewelry we now find in
tereStinS collections of these nine
teenth century pieces. Of course. II
you have collection of family jewel
ry the thing to do is to get out all
the old lockets and chains, the
brooches and bracelets belonging 10
that period and have them put into
condition for immediate wearing. You
may buy genuine antiques If you like,
but these are expensive. If you sim
ply want a few pieces of this Vic
torian JeWelry in order to fall in
with this latest fad, then by all means
content yourself with the lovely imi
tations-faithful copies of charming
originals. far less expensive than the
originals ever were because these are

Gold in various colors was. of course.
the metal for these Victorian orna-
ments. II was before the days of the
rage for platinum and white gold.
Much of il was made of that rich vel
low gold that we are told wears away
sooner than the pinker sort Some
times two or three tones of gold will
be united in 2 single locket or chain.
Most interesting are the pieces that
are marked by intricate gold work
without sign OF precious stone OF
other metal.
Besides these gold pieces. miniatures
and canoes dating from the Victorian
period have recently come into favor.

stantly takes on new forms. Some

And did YOU know that it is consid-
cred rather smarter now to wear
strings of quite small pearls than the
enormous pearls that have f1ourished
so long? The idea doubtless is that the
small pearls, even when imitation
are of size that might be real, while
the enormous ones-as large as mar
bles-are entirely lacking in verisimil-
itude.

BY MARY BLAKE.

Gemini.
The roseate hues of today are re-
placed tomorrow with those Of a nor
mallv favorable nature, indicating
clearness of perception, keen judg-
ment and an urge to accomplish that
which is reasonable to expect. 1t is
an excellent opportunity for the ini-
tiation of any plan or project that has
received careful meditation. Intelli-
gent effort, neither dimmed by undue
pessimism in or based on excessive
optimism, will insure success. In the
afternoon and evening the emotions
will be palpably affected by the be
nign conditions. prone TO create an
atmosphere Of responsiveness in the
minds and feelings of those who are in
love with each other.

Not at ALL said Mr.. Burba nix

Is understood
Mature has guarded against self
fertilization by a very simple but
effective method. When the flower
first opens, the little anthers may be
seen covered with pollen, but the
pistil lies closely folded up and not
yet ready to receive the pollen. When
this has been gathered by bees or
scattered, the anthers drop off and
the pistil now opens up and is ready
for pollen from another flower
Il often wonder, Mr.. Burbank"
said, which shows the greatest in
telligence, the plant or the bee?"
Sometimes it is hard to say, where
we see such wonderful and ingenious

observe the marvellous instinct of
bees when they are unconsciously
aiding nature in her work.
What were the results Of your
experiments with the geranium?"

Some of them produced new varie-
ties of fragrant geraniums," answered
Mr.. Burbany, but, as fragrant gera.
NUNS have been long grown from
cuttings, most of them have lost the
power of producing seed, the rose
geranium among them, and this
makes difficulties.
However. among them was pro-
duced a fragrant variety known as
coconut geranium from an Australian
variety bearing great quantities of
seed. The pollen of the new species
was used to fertilize the rose gera.
MUM and success was reached in
producing various varieties with
wholly new perfumes

HOW 1T STARTED
BY JEAN NEWTON.
I'm His Tracks

They followed in his tracks"
would be said today about any one
who was followed or pursued. 1t
might be in a big city that the way
lay, through streets and over pave
ments that would show no tracks.
Not SO, however, the early travels in
which the phrase had it's origin.
The expression lin his tracks" or
making tracks" comes to us from
the Far West, where not so long ago
men literally did blaze trails and make
tracks.
The specific circumstance in which
the latter phrase was first used was
when "A squatter deserted his claim
and set out to explore an unknown
region; Then it was said that he was
making tracks; and the expression,
though no longer literal. has survived
in our, language until this day.

The Summer Garden.

Having gone over the list of
Spring flowers in regard to harmoni-
Gus arrangement" said Mr.. Burbank.
summer blossoms must next be dis
cussed and the question at once be-
comes more complicated, as the yellow
and soft blue and lavender colors of
Spring are now increa sed by red and
pink and all the glowing colors of
Summer.
II have seen one small garden
where the problem was fairly well
solved, and the colors had only pleas
ant things to say to each other.
The upper end of the garden was
devoted TO blue, pink and lavender
flowers. mingled, with white, and in
the other end were grouped the yell

The roses lived in happy land of

Il was wondering" I said, where
you were going to place the popular
red geraniums which make such effec-
tive borders against shrubbery and
such good notes of color in the right
places"
They are always desirable, al
though nearly every one chooses red
when there are such charming white
and pink varieties. but. if we may. l

For that reason a child should not

not examine carefully any one Of

When Aladdin heard that the Sultan
had consented to his marriage with
the Princess he could hardly contain
his joy. He commanded the lamp
genie to bring him the most magnifi-
cent clothes he could. also q handsome
horse for him TO ride upon.
The Sultan was so impressed by
the noble looking young man that
he would have gladly married him
to his daughter Immediately. but
Aladdin said: Il must first build a
castle where we may live. For this
purpose beg YOU To give me plot

Then Aladdin commanded the genie
of the lamp to build him castle

RAMSEY
RACIAL oRIGIN-Ensli.h.
SOURCE-A locality.

Ramsey is one of those English
names which are distinctly Anglo
Saxon, in distinction from those
which are Norman French. Still IL
does not follow that all who bore IL
in the first place were Saxons. A
name of this sort gives little or no
clue to the race of those who first
used it. because it was a place name
before il became a family name, and
the Normans. when they spread their
sway over England, saw no reason
for remaining the locality.
Like all family names derived from
place names, its first general use was
to indicate the place from which II
given person or family had come.
thus distinguishing a man from
others who bore the same given
name. Later these names, for the
most part, lost their locality sig
nificance and became the hereditary
names of families. Only in a mi
nority of cases do such names indi-
cate that the original bearers were
"of" a certain locality in the sense
that they were the rulers of It.
AS place name, Ramsey is q COM
bina ton of the Saxon "ey," which
meant isle" or island and either
ram" or else the word "reoma !"
The last named meant the edge or
border" and was the ancient form
of our modern word rim"

The MI is one of the largest and

MUNS0N LINE BUYS
PAN-AMERICA SHIPS
Board Votes Sale After Moore and
Mccormick Withdraw, Pro-
testing Methods.

Sale of the n-American Steam
ship Line to the Munson Steamship
Line of New York was voted today
by the Shipping Board.
The board acted after Moore and
Mccormick of New York had with
drawn from the bidding, protesting
against the methods of such bidding.
The Munson bid was $4.104, 900 and
that of Moore and Mccormick, the
only other original bidder, was
S4.100,000.
Moore and Mccormick contended
that it should have opportunity to
inspect the four steamers of the line
to determine the repairs necessary
and that new bids should be called
for under competitive conditions, at
which time they would be ready to
submit new offer.
