Prospective June grooms will pay
larger sums for diamonds, or pros
pective June brides will wear
ifinaller diamonds this year than
usual..
There are now two ways about
that. Diamonds have gone up.
Some of the most conservative es
timates of local Jewelers are that
diamonds have gone up fully 10 per
cent since the first of the year.
Others estimate that In the last flvs
years diamonds have risen In prlee any
where from 10 to 25 per rent. Thus a
diamond that cost $1"0 five years ago
would bring from J120 to J12".
Here again tlie war is blamed for th
rise in price, especially In the last six
months or a year.
Beginning April 1, England Imposes an
export duty on diamonds. Tills, coupled
with the fact that at tho present mo
ment England controls the diamond mar
ket of tho world. Is looked upon by jew
elers as significant, and as explanatory
of the high price of diamonds and the
prospect of higher prices still.
England has long controlled the Aus
tralian and the African dlnmon.i mines.
In tlie main. But the conquest of tier
man territory in Snnth Africa by Eng
land has given England much, more
nearly a complete control of the situa
tion than it ever enjoyed before.
Holland Cats Diamonds.
Holland does most of the cutting of
the real small stones, as labor Is cheap
there, and with the cost 'if labor In this
country the cutting of the real small
stones could not be made to pay. It Is
said. The shipping of even this, known
to Jewelers as the "small stuff," is con
trolled now by England and must he
taken through England before it la ex
ported. There the export duty Is placed
on It, with the result that even the small
stuff has risen in price, and Is esti
mated to be fully 2i per cent higher
than it was last fall.
By "small stuff" Is meant the stones
of less than one-third of a carat.
Another reason assigned for tho high
cost of diamonds is that even when the
export duty Is paid in England the In
surance on the cargo is so heavy In
these days of random floating mines
and wayward torpedoes that the insur
ance premium adds another large Item
to the cost before the finished stones
reach America.

"Who was Mister Hannibal?" asked
the Manicure I.ady.
"I don't know him," said the Head
Barber. "I used to know a Hannibal out
in Missouri, but It can't be him."
"No, the Mister Hannibal 1 mean has
been dead thousands of years," said tho
Manicure Lady. "The old gink that was
Just In here having his nails did was
telling me about him. He was a general
or a corporal or something."
"He couldn't have been much," said tho
Head Barber, "or I would have heard of
hlni."
"Of course you would." said the Mani
cure Lady. "You and all the rest uf them
great mii Is such thick pals. This Is tlie
first time I ever asked you anylhins,
tieorge. and seen you fall down oil' the
i answer.
"The Mister Hannibal I mean crossed
them Alp mountains and scared the Ufa
out of h lot of them old Romans, thn
old gink told me. He said Hannibal wa.i
a jreat leader of men.
"I don't know," said ihy Head Ba'ber.
"Tell me more about Hannibal. He must
have been some guy If he could pcaro
them old Iton.ans. The Missus has got
a pretty good education, mid s-hc told
nie once the old Romans nearly con
quered the world."
"That's what thry done, George," said
the Manicure I.ady. "They went h1oii
licking their foes and making them UUo
It. They would have captured Egypt If
Mister Antony hadn't went and fell in
love with Queen I'lcopatrH. I remember
that much from my school books.
"I'leopatra was a peach, and she was
a fine dresser, too, being a queen and
haiiiK a lot of them modules to bona
around, and when poor Mark Antony
first set his lamps on her It was all
off.
"He fell In love so he forgot all his
business dates, and when the other
Romans came to fight, her and him dono
tho Hutch, as they say at Harvard and
Yale. It a awful had. but I think It
was kind of romantic, though, (loodncm
knows. George, if I had a sweetheart that
w going to kill himself, I would b
qamn to so along."
"I'on't talk foolish!" aid the Head
Barber. "As the old poet once ald, Ufa
is real and the graveyard is not tlie
v.metery, or something like that. I don't
like tho undertakers well enough to give
tlicm any of my dough."
"But It must been kind of romantic to
say farewell to the cruel world together."
Insisted the Manicure Lady. "Men nas
real men In them days, and love meant
joiiuthing more than scrambled eggs for
breakfast and a delicatessen dinner at
nU'ut. On th? square, tiroige. there ain't
enough real romance in this whole big
city of New York to make one short
novel.
