Jewel, Flower, Color
Symbols for Today
By MILDRED MARSHALL.
This day belongs to' youth and in
. nocence. Its purity, according to
ancient lore, it likened unto a white
flower, and the moonstone, symbol
of the chaste goddess Artemis, is its
talismanic gem. It is likewise the
natal gem of those who first opened
their eyes upon .the world on some
anniversary of today.
. For them it wields its full power
to attract good fortune and bring the
love that is pure and abiding. No
more potent gift can be selected by
a young lover who wishes to win- the
'affections of his sweetheart than the
moonstone. And if it should be her
natal stone also, the assurance of
long life and - happiness together
may be his.
