Scottish Piper Idle
During Kings Illness

London.-.The saddest man in Buck
ingham palace while King George Of
England lay i'll was Private Macin-
tosh, the Scottish piper attached to
the royal household.
Each morning from 8 a. m. until
$3.50 the royal piper plays Scottish
airs beneath his majesty's window.
But the kings illness became so seri-
GUS that the skirl and drone of the
bagpipes disturbed him. Macintosh
therefore was ordered to fold up his
beloved pipes until a brighter day.
1t was Queen Victoria who first
brought a piper from thee Scottish
highlands to the palace and ordered
him to play each morning under the
royal chambers, as is the custom
when the royal family is in residence
at Balmoral, their Scottish estate.
The queen also had favorite high
land attendant. who, dressed in kilt
and plaid, accompanied her on all her
travels.
When King Edward VII came to
the throne, he abolished the custom
of highlander as a personal attend
ant, bnt having the same love for the
music of the bagpipes as his mother.
he had piper play to him each morn
ing. King George continued the prac.

REIGN OF GOLD
JEWELRY ENDED
Fashion Now Calls for Stones
in Platinum.

Paris.-The French theory that @
woman's jewelry definitely establishes
| her position in elegant and fashion.
able society has not been overlooked
in the many transformations that
have taken place in arts and crafts
since the war. Jewelry itself has been
modernized. Moreover, the flashing
facets of cut jewels formed by prisms
in all their angular and slanting re-
Elections synchronize perfectly with
the trends Of modern art.
For a while, at least, the days OF
fancy filigreed gold and silver and
gem-encrusted jewelry are over. Ma
dame now must wear big clear stones
set in cold platinum, rectangles,
cubes, triangles, in amethyst, emerald,
aquamarine. rubies and diamonds.
There are many points and acute
angles in the new jewelry. There are
fiat surfaces that scintillate lights in
the manner of cubist painting. Sheer
elegance calls for simplicity defined
by clear-cut lines smooth sable
manteau, a neat felt hat with tri-
angular pin, bracelet in alternating
platinum and crystal rectangles, an
emerald set lengthwise along two
alternating semi-circles, and brooch of
brilliants set in the form of tiny
sailing yacht or the helmet of knight
at arms such is the modish
Parisienne Of today. aa
1t was the Exposition of Decorative
Arts in 1925 that brought about the
transformation of jewelry. Modern art
was followed in the same trends that
we see in architecture, in interior dec
grafton, and in furniture.
The new jewelry started with the
Gitane or so-called gypsy bracelet. It
was set with big stones, usually jade
or semi-precious pieces, and anywhere
from a half inch to two inches wide.
Its success was immediate and now
the Gitane is expressed in even holder
forms.
Modern jewelry, to quote promf-
nent Paris designer, is inspired by the
exciting and rapidly moving pace OF
present-day life.t He says, Modern
jewelry is inspired by our new en-
thusiasms, it has certain coquetry
with early arts, it's inspiration is de-
rived from cubism, and its manifesto
lions are also affected by the marvel.
GUS technique realized by the Persians
and the Chinese.
1.-THE jewelry Of today is nourished
by the life we live, the automobile
wheel, the airplane, the radio, sports
and thousand evidences of modern
events"

Woman, 80, Never Lived
Outside of Poorhouse

Charlottesville, Va. A lifetime

The woman was born in the county

"a bit of living" from the change.

The bronze statue surmounting the
dome of the national capitol ut Wash
ington is the figure of woman and
symbolizes liberty. This statue is oft
en- enormously supposed to represent
an American Indian, owing to the fact
that from distance the helmet of the
figure resembles the bonnet of an In
dian war chief In fact the eagles
head and the arrangement Of the
feathers on the helmet were suggested
by costumes of certain Indian tribes.
The figure, which weighs l4.9S5
pounds and is 1919 feet high, was mod.

A practical way of solving the prob

by recruiting from business and pro

applied for the course. Sixty were en-.
