Intrinsic value is no longer the ing motive in the selection of a piece of jewelry by those whose tastes have been trained to appreciate the art manifested in its production as in a beautiful picture or a plece of bric-a-brac. Many times the real cost or worth of an ornament, judged by commercial standards, is now cheerfully pald because of the brains and the idea embodied in the production, ‘““Ten years ago sale for such an an artist-jeweler, pointing to an pendant of the art nouveau type, with a beautifully modeled female head in the center and perfectly matched pearls and diamonds embellishing the frame of rose gold. “Fortunately many people are come ing to a better appreciation of the true mission of jewelry and refuse to accepi that which does not conform to artistic standards. We are becoming better edu- cated along art lines, care less for showy things and more for those that represent artistic creation, not merely skillful work- manship and display. Pretty seon men and women of refinement and culture will no more think of buying a piece of jewelry that is inartistic than they would purchase a poorly executed picture. Brains tell in the jewelry produciions of today as they have not told heretofore in this new and prosperous country. The form of an or ment {8 no longer subordinated to the jew els that embellish it; it is the gems that are made subservient to the design I do not mean that flamboyant jewelry is des tined to disappear entirely and all at once rather that the ornament that is artistic as well as intrinsically valuable will be more and more conspicuous. ““The design for a brooch or other orna- ment is as carefully sketched as the draw- ing for a picture. When the artist’'s work has been passed upon and the form se- lected the services of the goldsmith and Jjeweler are enlisted, and if, as happens in many of these new designs, a touch of en- ameling 18 added, that part of the work is assigned to a master of the craft. Artistic jewelry represents the production of spe- clalists, as does the best work in other lines where art enters into the manufac- ture. We no longer give an ornament to one man and let him carry out the design in its entirety. Thus we have a change not alone in result, but in method. This evolution i8 one certain to appeal to every lover of Dbeautiful things, and to the jeweler who is concerned with art as well as the commercial aspect of his craft it is one of the happiest of auguries for the fu- ture of the jewelry business in this coun try. “With regard to styles in jewelry," con- tinued this exponent of the new art, “pearls lead everything else this season. Paris is pearl mad, and the prominence given to this lustrous jewel is in keeping with the development of the artistic idea in fewelry, for the pearl makes no special appeal to those who like showy ornaments. In order to accentuate the luster and coloring of fine pearls we frequently set them in a frame of diamonds, and herein note another differ thing in the jew today, with art force, reports as the and state affairs orna- possess govern- we would have had ornament as this," no sald equisite ence: for the diamond is a marked it may be For many fascination about pearis, interesting to note that they are the only jewels used In a natural state Diamonds, rubles, sapphires and all the other gems are polished, cut, altered; the pearl preserves the form in which it was taken from the oyster or mursel shell “Perfect pearls are so rare that they com mand high prices, but pearls of irregular shene have assumed unusual importance in years and known baroque specimens of baroque as $1,000 They of distinetive sftentimes possessing a unique for the production of designs that shall n individual selection, not look all poured out of one favorite designs that have ot an ornament is evolved by the combined talent and skill of artist and craftsmen in which originality of treatment is the keynote and artistic blending of form and gem deccration color effect the result.

The pr ired to receive him, w 8 he was confined in Recently a delegation of Hiatville appeared before the probate judge and asked that the doctor might be sent home,pending his admission to the asylum ““We have an unusual amount of sickness in our vicinity,” said the spokesman; ‘“‘we have great confidence in our old doctor, and we want him to come back and treat our sick.” The request was granted, and the old doctor went home to take up his prac- tice. It should be explained, perhaps, that the doctor had been drinking heavily, and it was believed that he would be all right If he left whisky alone. But the fact re- mains that a man who has been adjudged insane in the regular course of lexal pro- cedure is turned loose without legal pro- cedure take up the practice of a pro- fession which deals with the life and health of the people of his community. And there is something very suggestive of Dogberry in the admonition of the probate judge to the victim, that if he went insane again (that is, if he took to drink) he would be clapped into the asylum quicker than a cat can bat its eye. in every jewelry But it other, costs consequently more than the is worth it.” relates an in Hiat- probate ylum 80 court was and for the county citizens not some Jail from to Man in the Moon New York Times: ‘“‘Yes, just at ent,”” said the moon, “I'm out late at night because I'm down to my last quarter.”” “Therein you differ from the man,"” remarked the morning star, often down to his last quarter was out late at night.” pres- average “He is because he Pointed Pa Saloonkeepers always have goods on hand. ragraphs plenty of fall Some marriages are woman in the are failures failures the * 13 suspicious and sume because she isn't } because ca 0000000000000 BETTER 'THINK 'tABOUT THIS There are engravings and en- gravings, but the kind that are really good are the ones we make.
