There may be some tiny flaw in the surface of the pearl, and if water gets there the pearl will begin to darken and will gradually lose its beauty. Half pearls should never be permitted to be wet, for the water will seep through to the under side and deterioration commences. Pearl jewelry should be taken to a jeweler frequently and left to be cleaned by an expert. The cost is little for cleaning, and the beauty of the jewelry depends upon its proper care. Acids Affect Pearls. Pearls are affected by aclds as well as by water. To make security doubly sure, do mot wear pearl jew- elry when preparing meals or doing housework. Sometimes one forgets to take off rings, though they should be lald aside carefully when any household tasks are performed. s is especially true of pearl rings. Treasure them. They are choice pieces of bijouterfe. It may be that lemons must be sliced to serve with afternoon tea after the home-maker is ready to sit down and enjoy the re- freshing beverage. Don't forget to take off rings, especldlly pearl ones The fumes may prove injurious, as may also those from household am- monia_or any pungent acid. Imitation Pearls. Tmitation pearls may be “indestruct- ible"—that is, they may be so treated that water does hange their tex- ture, nor a onable amount of pressure breal them. These are two very desirable characteristics. It is extremely difficult, however, to get everything in one kind of imitation pearl. What they gain in indestruct- ibility they may lose in shimmering beauty. Decide, therefore, when pur- chasing replica pearls, whether you prefer to have them more fragile and with greater luster. The first kind will give you more service without changing. The latter will require more care to retain their charm. Be ured at the shop where the pearls are bought whether they are inde- structible or not, and care for them accordingly. If they are indestruct- ible, you can care for them yourself. If they are not, a jeweler should see them occasionally, just as if they were genuine pe: Choosing Replicas. Some replica pearl necklaces are so exquisite that only an expert can dis- tinguish them from genuine pearls The most baffling of these strings of pearls are those that are not extreme- Iy long, are of graduated pearls, and which do not have any large pearls in them.

Now, I love this man. What shall T do to hold him? Become the kind that can vamp him or just be natural and perhaps lose him? DISTRESSED DAMSEL, Answer: My dear girl, there are two things that you must always take with a liberal pinch of salt. One is a man’s ideal of the perfect woman, and the other is his assertion that he wants you to be always pertectly frank and truthyul with him. He belleves, poor dear, that he is speaking the truth, but any woman who takes him at his word loses out. v lly every man believes that he’ admi who does not use any paint or powder, or pe: who remains just as homely as God made her He also believes that he admires the woman who does not waste her time, and :money, and thought on foolish frills and frivols, but who buys stout, serviceable clothes, with a view to their lasting qualities and not their looks and becomingne sensible woman, hair, and es a plain manently wave her But every mother's son of them flees from his ideal wan as We would from the plagge, and the more a woman dolls herself up and tire more like a fashion plate she looks the more he runs after her The hand they want to hold is the , white one, with manicured nails, not the hands that have corns on them f The cheek they want to lay thei roses on it, not a cleanly scrubbed The ¢ like to go to bed for fear some Don't you think thing might them?
