OLD STYLES LIKED
JEWELRY NOVELTIES HAVE AN

and Belt Buckles Are Things
of Beauty
The novelties in jewelry this

Ding long ding ding ding ding

Grandfather sets the style in

paradox that the novelties in new
jewelry are all old fashioned styles
Grandmother had good taste
Tho clerk held up a silver neck
chain
Its a good example of the whole
fashion he said Its hand
wrought you see That means that
the maker had a chance to express his
individuality and that no two designs
need he alike Heres another
scarabs you see of amethyst topaz
and jade all on one chain And heres

Old Style Jewelry Is Popular Again
time strong box Heres a beauty this
chain bracelet of large amethysts in
gold settings Amethysts will be
great favorites among the stones and
bracelets will be as popular as ever
There is a great chance for the jeweler
artist in making old fashioned silver
bracelets
The jeweler with artistic instincts
must have taken a good deal of satis
faction in making silver card cases
too like grandmother-used-to-carry
This shows exquisite engraving
These purses made of silver are old
style also
Then the dealer drew out a tray of
cameos He seemed to take a satis
faction in looking at them and hand
ling them
Did I say those other things were
old fashioned he asked Well
what do you think of this coral cameo
It is of the style in vogue in England
200 years ago There are cameos of
all sixes and degrees of beauty but
theyre my hobby and Ill stop
Anyway the belt buckles are al
most as charming This large gold
one with one large stone is perhaps
the type The buckles are mounted
with some semi precious stone such
as topaz I shouldnt forget to men
tion the lapis lazuli among the new
settings It is defined as an alumi
nous mineral of rich blue color St
Elmo a novel made it popular and
it has a color which pleases the lovers
of the antique-in-appearance
Spanish and Oriental styles are to
appear again and there will be some
Egyptian designs More coral will he

The Spring Colors
The leading colors of spring to
quote a French authority will be
blue yellow and brown with a great
deal of plum color mixed in There
are also several new shades of green
one of which new leaf green is gain
ing in popularity Yet it is rather try
ing in tone Purple will always be
worn In the yellows one sees a great
deal of sulphur yellow And there is
mustard which is a very good color
indeed Cream chartreuse golden
brown and apricot yellow are all to be
a great deal seen And In blue there
are some lovely new tones but the
most popular blue will be atlantic a
blue which is neither light nor dark
but a clear lovely medium tone very
restful to the eye and becoming to the
figure It is a blue with not a parti

LEVINSKY HAD GREAT SCHEME
Bright Idea He Thought Meant Saving
of Twenty Five Dollars
Levinsky despairing of his life
made an appointment with a famous
specialist He was surprised to find
15 or 20 people in the waiting room
After a few minutes he leaned over
to a gentleman near him and whis
pered Say mine frient this must bo
a pretty good doctor aint ho
One of the best the gentleman
told him
Levinsky seemed to be worrying
over something
Veil say he whispered again he
must be pretty exbensive then aint
he Vat does he charge
Tho stranger was annoyed by Le
vinskys questions and answered
rather shortly Fifty dollars for tho
first consultation and 25 for each
visit thereafter
Mine Gott gasped Levinsky
50 tollars the first time and 25 tol
lars each time afterwards
For several minutes he seemed iki
decided whether to go or to wait
Und 25 each time afterwards he
kept muttering Finally just as he
was called into the ollice he was
seized with a brilliant inspiration He
rushed toward the doctor with out
stretched hands
Hello doctor he said effusively
Veil here I am again Everybodys

Tarantula Not So Bad
The terrible tarantula is said to be
more abused than abusive It is not
aggressive upon man nor is it often
intrusive even although every old
miner and prospector has shaken one
out of his boots or blankets in the
morning and always the size of a
saucer It avoids the hot sunshine
and remains well down in its burrow
under the ground About sundown it
sallies forth and lies in waiting just
below the opening of the burrow It
assumes this position whether it de
sires food or wishes only to get a bit
of fresh air It does not travel about
in quest of food even when hungry
but remains quietly in the attitude
described often for hours at a time
At the near approach of a caterpillar
grasshopper beetle or almost any
creature of like size other than its
enemy the wasp it rushes out and
seizes it but rarely goes farther than
a few inches from the opening One
fair sized insect a week is sufficient
to satisfy its hunger because of its
inactive existence while it can live
several months without food even
when most active provided it has
water In autumn the spider closes
the entrance with a crudely spun web
It is then ready to pass the winter in
a semi lethargic state partaking of no
food In the spring it digs its way
out
A Jefferson Davis Speech
On August 2 1S70 a party of young
men engaged a band and serenaded
Jefferson Davis After the band had
played Dixie and My Maryland
Mr Davis spoke these words
My friends I thank you for this
cordial greeting Thrown like a wave
on a restive ocean it is something to
receive this good old Virginia wel
come As long as my heart continues
to beat it must be still responsive to
the warm and cordial feeling of Vir
ginians Avhich I have experienced in
some of the contingencies of my life
This manifestation of your good feel
ing towards me comes from your gen
erosity and not from any merit of my
own May God in his infinite mercy
preserve you from every ill and may
your prosperity and happiness be as
wide as your borders may your
homes be peaceful is the earnest
prayer of one who has no more to
say to you on this occasion Eugene

Durability of Glass
It does not seem odd to find inscrip
tions written ages ago still visible on
the Tower of London or on the steeple
of some cathedral but one would hard
ly look on a fragile panel of glass in a
common window for characters 200
years old
A notable case in point is that of
the old house in London wherein the
notorious Jack Sheppard once lived j
as a carpenter s apprentice One of
the window panes still bears an in
scription cut in it by a glazers dia
mond recording the name and address
of a man who preceded Jacks master
in that house
The inscription is John Woolley
Brand Painter and Glazier March 12
1700
That was nine years before the
coming to the house of the famous
Jack Sheppard and over 200 years
ago Sunday Magazine
