Miss Lucas made a most happy in- troduction, alluding to the fact that Mr. Hale gave some of the early his- tory of jewelry and the part it played in personal adornment from earliest time. The first real attempt at beau- ving the person was in the form of tattooing, a most uncomfortable pro- ces, resuiting in extreme cases in_the death of the victims to vanity. Lat- er savage tribes inlaid their teeth with designs in gold, inserted large corks in their ear lobes, wore nose rings, provided _themselves with necklaces, made of human or animal teeth, ber- ries strung on fibres, claws and some- times the irridescent wings of beetles. They seldom wore rings as they work- ed with their hands and would have found them very much in the way. The earliest pins were thorns and fish bones and the first ones made of “CASCARETS”SET YOURLIVER AND BOWELS RIGHT THEY’'RE FINE! DON'T REMAIN BILIOUS, SICK, HEADACHY 5 AND CONSTIPATED.

THERE 1s no advertising medium In stern Connecticut equal to The Bul- etin for business results. metal were carved in imitation of them. Their bracelets were of metal, sharpened at the edges and used as weauons.. The wearers became so proficient in their use that when thrown at an enemy it would result in_decapitation. From this primitive jewelry there was a great jump to early Etruscan metal work. This work of such fine- ness that there is nothing in modern art to compare with it. They used a process the secret of which has nev- er been found in more modern times. The Japanese stand alone in some metal work also. Their process of surfacing is all their own, an inherit- ed knowledge. Some work done now by all metal workers is, however, the same as that done centuries before Christ—that of making gold and silver balls and of joining. Benuvento Cell )i is regarded as the king of jewelers. He possessed a facile pen as well And wrote a treatise that has been tra)klated and is of the greatest use now. The eariest jewels worn were cut in intaglio and cameo form. In clas- sifying jewels four are considered as precious stones; the diamond, ruby, emerald and sapphire. All the others are semi-precious. The pearl is usually classed as precious, although properly speaking it is not a mineral, contrary to popular belief the ru- by and mot the diamond is rated as the most Yaluable, being roughly speaking, about three times as costly. The most extensive ruby mined in the world are in upper Burmah. The di- amond ranks second. The modern di- amond mines are in South Africa. The discovery of these gines is rather in- teresting. Some children living on the banks of the river were used to playing about at the edge of the water and one day the oldest boy found in the midst of the quartz and other stones, one so large and glittering that he ran home with it. His mother, true of course to femininity was much taken with it and finally after much consulting with one and other it was sent by mail to a promirent jeweler. So little idea was had of its value that it was sent in an unsealed envelope. Word came back that it was a diamond and was worth five hundred pounds. Next to the diamond comes the em- erald, of which the acqua-marine is the blue form and last the sapphire, which may be blue, white, vellor or brown or sometimes a blending of some of these colors. Pearl were used extensively ingBome in olden days. The finest pearls the world today are said to be in the Uniteq States. More than one Amer- ican millionaire possesses rare strings of them. The pearl oyster is a_dis- tinct kind and pears are very seldom found in any other. Rubies, emcralds, sapphires and many other stones are now made commercially but diamonds never.

STAMM (Reelected Church Clerk) There was a good attendance at the annual meeting of the First Baptist church, held at the church, Monday evening. Rev. George H. Strouse, the pastor, presided, and the meeting opened with prayer offered by Frank L. Lathrop. Following the approval of the min- utes of the last meeting the annual reports were read by the respective officers. Clerk Earle 'V» Stamm gave an ex- cellent report of the year. Robert W. Otis reported that all obligations A. S. SPALDING MADE REVENUE INSPECYJOR. Been Advanced from Office of Deputy Collector. H Having passed civil service require- ments, been advanced from deputy collector to_internal revenue inspector and advised to sever all political en- tanglements, Archibald S. Spalding has sent to Mayor Allyn L. Brown his resignation as a member of the gas and electric commission. Mr. Spalding was formerly directly under the col- lector at Hartford and now is respon- sible to the commissioner at Wash- ington. While there might not be any ijssue raised as to his political con- ‘hections if he retained his member- ship on the gas and electric commis- sion, he has thought it best to send in his resignation. COMPENSATION AGREEMENTS. Papers in Five Cases Were Approved Monday by Commissioner. Five compensation agreements were approved Monday by Commissioner James J. Donohue as follows: George A. Fuller Co, New York city, and Gabriel Sargent, alias Victor Sargent, New London. On Dec. 6 he suffered _blood poisoning from a scratch. He received $5.91 weekly from Dec. 117. New London Ship and Engine Co. Groton, and John Presitelli, New Lon- don. On Oct. 30 he was injured when he received a brass chip in his right eye. He was awarded $6.21 weekly front” Nov. 10.

Ponemah mills, Taftville, and Hen- ry Fontaine, Taftville.( On Dec. 15 he slipped on a walk and dislocated two fingers. The award was $5 weekly from Dec. 26. Rebert Palmer & Son Shipbuilding and Marine Co., Noank, and Leo Bar- tolucci, New London. He suffered a steel chip in his left eve on_ Sept. 8. The award in this chse was $10 week- 1y from Sept. 19. method. Tn modern work the setting is subordinate. Jewels have often been used by royalalty in their robes and dresses. In the Middle Ages, ail these jewel workers were banded into guilds and of late years some attempts to revive them have been made, especiallv in England. The Arts and Crafts’ society Boston is in organization some- hat on this line, each department being to a certain extent separate. The demand for hand wrought work in_increasing. Last yvear the Boston Arts and Crafts society sold $100,000 Wworth of hand work. Much of the beauty of this sort of work is lost by not having a proper setting. In Chi- cago an attempt is being made to ov- ercome this. Passing on to enamels Mr. Hale spoke of the great age of this process. In the sixth century before Christ it was known and worked on the sur- face of porcelain, pottery, copper, iron, 2old or silver of glass which melts its foundation. Fine gold and silver are best to work in, with as little solder as possible. Diamonds alone will stand the heat of firing so they can be, set in the glass immediately. The process is as follows—Stained glass of the desired color is ground with mor- tar and pestle until, generally speak- ing, about the consistency of granulat- ed sugar, then a flux is put on the metal to be used to prevent oxidiza- tlom, the design drawn on it and fired. The colored glass i sthen put on with needle and brush, the article put on a rack in the front of the furnace until dried, and finally puf into the furnace until’ the desired effect is obtained. The ancient enameling was not on a metal basis while the modern is al- ways so. There are various kinds of enamel, Byzantine or cloisonne, Limoges and transparent or pique-a- jour and champs leve. It is all a very delicate and care- ful. painstaking process. Modern workers know nearly all the sécrets of enamelling, some of their work being almost indistinguishable from the old. Castallani of Rome has done some beautiful work in enamel. Mr. Hale had some very choice and rare pieces of his own work with him to illustrate his talk. Very noticea- ble was a pendant with a pair of large baroque pearls set in a most antique fashion, a =--klace of Australian opal set about “®h opals and oriental pearls anr a very stunning necklace of blue chrysaphease cut in cameo with silver chain set with opal matrix. A most unusual and lovely plaque with a very large and handsome opal cen- ter, set in gold with pearls and pe- dirots. - There were very handscme and unique rings and watch fobs and two or three fine examples of enamel. Altogether a very fine exhibit of true artists’ conception of the beauty and value of his materials, ~ombined with a rare ability in its execution. Mr. Hale is a member of the Boston Arts and Crafts’ society and has tak- en its highest medal. He also won a medal at the Panama Exposition.

At _the annual méeting of the W. C. T. U. held on_Monday afternoon in their room on Shetucket street the old board of officers was re-elected for the ensuing year and the annual re- ports were read, which showed that the union has accomplished much dur- ing the past year. A discussion of the coming year's program revealed the fact that the union will broaden their field of ac- tivity. The meeting was called to order and presided over by the president, Miss Harriet G. Cross, who led in the sing- ing. The hymn Something for Jesus was sung, with Mrs. H. F. Palmer pre- siding at the piano. Miss Cross read the 146th Psalm and an earnest prayer was offered by Mrs. Edward P. Phreaner. Miss Cross addressed the meeting in a few impressive remarks along the lines of work carried out by the union and of the many accomplishments. The secretary, Mrs. H. F. Palmer, read her monthly report, followed by her annual report, which showed that ten regular meetings had been held during the year, besides a special meeting which was held at the home of the president. In the absence of the treasurer, Mrs. S. Howard Mead, President Cross read the report. On Jan. 1, 1916, there was $29.41 in the treasury. During the yvear the union has received alto- gether $207.82: $53.97 netted from two food sales. The union has donated for benevolent and other purposes $29.50, and the expense of the union netted $209.05, leaving in the treasury $28.18 besides a deposit fund. A copy of the campaign number has been sent to every minister in the town. There was discussion of the work in general which will be followed during the coming year, which was followed by the annual election of offi- cers. The old board of officers was re-sl¢cted, as follows: President. Miss Harriet G. Cross: secretary. Mrs. FL. F. Palmer; treasurer, Mrs. S. Howard ead. Miss Crossgspoke briefly on the pos- ters that are being arranged by the union and which will be placed in vari, ous places about the city. o Mrs. Arthur F.

Try Grandmothers recipe to darken and beautify faded, streaked hair That beautiful even shade of dark, glossy hair can only be had by brew- ing & mixture of Sage Tea and Sul- phur. Your hair is your charm. It makes or mars the face. When it fades, turns gray or streaked, just an lication or two of Sage and Sul- lur enhances its appearance a hun- dredfold. Don’t bother to prepare the mix- ture; you can get this famous old recipe “improved by the addition of other ingredients for 50 cents a large bottle, all ready for u: 1t is called Wyeth’s Sage and Sulphur Compound. This can always be depended upon to bring back the naturail color and lus- tre of your hair. Everybody uses “Wyeth's” Sage and Sulphur Compound now because it .darkens so naturally and evenly that nobody can tell it has been ap- plied. You simply dampen a sponge or soft brush with it and draw this through the hair, taking one small strand at a time; by morning the grayshair has disappeared, and after another application it becomes beauti- fully dark and appears glossy and lvs- trous. This ready-to-use preparation is a delightful toilet requisite for those who desire dark hair and a youthful appearance. It is not intend- ed for the cure, mitigation or preven- tion of disease.
