Emerald, Turquoi, Jad;
Sapphirt and Top.
The emerald, the turquoise, the
jade, sapphire, and tcpaz all carry
abundant lore of love, of sacred, and
of healing description in their lovely
rays aud colors.
The jade, associated with Chinese
history front ancient days, is one of
the oldest and most curious stones.
Just at present it is having a popular
revival, and consequently it will be
interesting to know something of
jade mytholdgy. v
In China a string of jade beads is
now used as an insignia of high rank
and authority. At one time, it is
said, no other than- prince of the
royal blood had the right to possess
jade in India, under pain of death.
In China the jade is termed the
concentrated essence of love.- It is
an ornament often bestowed upon
r young girls when they come of age.
When fashioned in the form of a
butterfly it has a special romantic
significance to the Chinese because
of the pretty legend which relates
that a youth pursuing a " butterfly
climbed over the high wall and into
the garden of a rich, mandarin. In
stead of being censored or punished,
the poor youth's visit led to his mar
riage with the'mandarin's daughter.
Hence the butterfly is the symbol
of successful love, and Chinese
bridegrooms present jade butterflies
to 'their fiancees.
Another Chinese custom was to
place a piece of jade in the mouth
of a person on his death. Thc Me
tropolitan Museum of Art iir New
York contains a fine collection of
specimens of jade from Chinese
tombs. '
In the Indian museum collection
of jades there is a large bowl on
which a family of lapidaries in the
employ o'f emperors of Delhi were
engaged jn engraving for three gen
erations. It Is priceless.
The Indians believe to pell a tur
quoise is bafl lnck; to giveone away
will reward the 'donor seven times.
The wearer of a turquoise will al
ways have friends.
It was believed in olden days that
whoever wore a turquoise so that the
ttone or even the setting of it touch--j
it. . u: 1 .1 r n t
CU U1C M, IUU1U Idll limit allljr
height and not be hurt, the stone at
tracting to itself the whole force of
the fall.
When an Aztec Indian dies, his
friends place a turquoise in ""his
mouth, to present to the great hunter
in the happy hunting ground.
The engagement ring of a girl born
in May should be an emerald.
An emerald worn in a garter
brings the best of luck.
"If your eyes are dimmed and
.weary, place an emerald in the sun
and gaze on it," is an old medicinal
cure of superstitious' origin.
It is told of Nero that he had em
eralds hollowed out and placed over
his eyes when he watched the bloody
gladiatorial N games.
A talismanic emerald, once owned
by the Mogul emperors of Delhi
and sjiown in Europe some years
ago, was of a deep rich green and
weighed 78 carats. Around the edge
in Persian characters ran the in
scription:' '"He who possesses this
charm shall enjoy the special pro
tection of God."
The emerald was believed to give
its wearer great prophetic quality
and to strengthen the memory. "It
you wish to become an eloquent
speaker, wear an emerald."
According to Hebrew traditions
thevod of Moses and the table of
the commandments were set with
sapphires. The stone symbolizes
loyalty, justice, beauty and nobility.

Color Is the Big
Thing in New
Spring Frocks
Color is the biff thing irv spring
frocks. Fabrics and decorations play
only a -secondary part in the design
ing of the spring costume, declares
a well-known designer. After the
more or less somber colorings 6f the
winter a new springlike color effect
is most important and appeals more
to the average woman than the style
or material of the frock.
The indications all point towards
this being a green atrd blue season,
with the cold shades of the two col
ors most favfired.
The fabrics most popular for the
spring frock will be crepe de chine
And other materials with a soft cling
ing character. And the one-piece
dress promises to be more in evi
dence than ever before.
The one-piece frock has proved it
success. It has countless possibili
ties that no other costume can offer.
A woman may find the one particu
lar style which suits her type and
can make it the underlying theme of
all her frocks. New notes and touch
es may be cleverly introduced so
that the dress follows the mode of
each season and yet at the same
time preserves the characteristic
which made it becoming.
The one-piece frock fashioned of
soft clinging materials which will
follow the line of the body promises
to be the "dernier cri" for spring
wear. ' .
Viscountess Haicourt, daughter of
William Burns, of New York, is the
first Amcrican-bJirn peeress to be
appointed a justice of the peace in
England.

If Eve, when she met the serpent,
had worn a sapphire ring, there
would have been no trouble, as no
matter how seductive a serpent, it
cannot look upon a sapphire and
hold up its head. As a poison anti
dote its virtues are traditional.
