The idea occurred to us after
seeing several necklaces so un-
usual we had to stop and look.
We decided we'd find out now
much jewelry there is around
that's really different. And Just
how utterly individual one
can be on. occasion.
Nature Reproduced
There's jewelry that looks
like precious wood, for instance,
with a marvellous reproduction
of the granting. It's copied
Just exactly from real wood
with a perfection that's beyond
all description. Done by a
secret process, we suppose, for
we couldn't find out how. And
you'd certainly never guess!
Even the name sounds myster.
iou5 and old, for it's called
angkor jewelry.> A sketch can't
do justice to the workmanship,
but just the same we've
illustrated one of the necklaces
and a matching earring at the
left above. The balls are gradu-
ated, with gold rondelles be-
tween, and the clasp is gold.
Amazingly enough, there's every
color you could want. We
recommend particularly the
brown and the green and the
black. In the choker length, as
sketci4ed, this necklace is
around 50 but you may have
it longer If you like. The brace
let and the earrings cost about
81 each.
JeweIry-Or Soup?
Speaking of workmanship, we
came across what we consider
the height of priceless carving.
We hope you'll have a chance
to examine the necklace illus
trated second from the left
above. And by the way, here's

that A could clear his suit be-

of unlocking with his K, B
carelessly played his 6; next Y

the 10, which B had to overtake,

was to lead a club to dummy's

Last Word
In Style

Why not a suit of black
woolen to wear right through
the autumn? Smart is a suit
Of black crepey woolen with a
belted long coat set off by q
softly crushed collar Of white
caracul edged with black cara
cul. There is, of course, a white
satin blouse. .
A true aristocrat among furs
Is mink, and we are glad that
1t is being used so much for
coat trimming. A new coat of
dark brown woolen has a huge
mink collar cut in great revers
in front, and huge, elbow-length
gauntlet cuffs of the same rich,
brown fur.
Go away and wear one of the
new suits made for travelling.
A new travel suit is made of
black broadcloth. It has a
straight, slim, wrapped-over
skirt and the upper half, collar
and sleeves Of the peplumed
jacket are of black Hudson
seal, The same model is made
in brown homespun with beaver.
1t will be a crime not to own
one little fur jacket this season,
for it is possible to use it with
many outfits. For instance, a
white caracul jacket can be
worn with a black woolen frock
or with a black woolen skirt
and a white satin blouse.

rondelle between each galilith

the necklace comes in green,

much less what has become of

comfort myself with that.

strokes my hands. I take them

Twilight is gathering in the
room. My dog comes in from
the passage and lies down on
the floor in front of me. His
eyes shine as he looks up at
me. He, too, is restless still;
he has not settled down yet'
either.
NV mother leans back in her
chair. "Just to think you have

The Pickle Jar
The meadows are wet and
from the pathways and tracks
the water runs gurgling. In
the pocket of my great coat is
q small pickle jar and I walk
along the brook. by the pop
lars. AS a youngster I used to
catch fish and butterflies here,
and here I used to lie down
under the trees and dream.
In spring time it would be
full Of waterweeds and frog
spawn. Bright green bushes
Of waterweed flickered to and
fro in the little, clear waves,
long-legged skaters zigzagged
between the stalks of the sedge
and shoals of tittlebacks in the
sun cast their swift, slim
shadows on the golden-spotted
sand.
But now it is cold and damp.
The poulars are bare, but a
soft blue bloom is on them.

, Negro Health Week

The week beginning April 5, will
herald the opening of the 18th An
nual Negro Health week throughout
the nation. Back in 1915, Booker
7. Washington, the wizard of Tus-
kogee Institute. initiated this observ-
ance which has continued with in
creasing interest each year until in
the remotest Negro settlements,
much attention is given to his health
plan.
"A standard plan for the week has
been laid out providing for cleanup
and sanitation campaigns, child elm
les and programs of health education
in the schools, churches, clubs, lodges
and other civic organizations.
The National Public Health Serv-
ice, The Departments of Health, the
National Negro Business League, the
Interracial Commission and other
health organizations are taking the
leading part in promoting these
plans.
1t was estimated that Health Week
was observed in $500 communities
vast year. 1t is hoped that this
years program will reach a larger
number of communities. Our local
leaders are planning to make this OBJ
servance more thorough and far
reaching this year than ever before.
Our local physicians, professionals
and civic leaders have always given
themselves and their facilities un-
stintingly in these campaigns and as
a result Seattle is far ahead of many
cities in the observance of health
week.
The standard of perfection of
these plans can only be reached
through the cooperation of every or
