in platinum. The only difficulty is that1
the cost in se great. And it is said of
white geld settings that they de net
neiu their Celer as platinum does, me
reason for that, se T'am told, is that
most of the white geld mountings nre of
fourteen karat geld. White geld of
eighteen karat, however, is an entirely
different matter, and ,uet only leeks
exactly like platinum, but keeps7 the
color. This has been told me by a little
hhep that has. u number .of eighteen
karat white geld mountings lit- square

them myself, se that I knew they are
really geed, and the shopkeeper will de

need net say that the shop does very
geed work, and Is entirely reliable.
tVhave seen several sales of crepe de

is in a shop that is selling crepe dc

Advice, en Beauty
Celd feet: peer circulation, as a rule,
is the cause of cold feet, cold hands,
and red noses. Outdoor exercise, to
gether with deep breathing and the
morning shower followed by u vigorous
rub, are the things with which te com
bat sour troubles. Breathe from fifteen
te twenty times every morning en aris
ing before an open window. Fill the
lungs te capacity, and let them empty
themselves easily. Take deep breaths
when you are outdoors. The warming
effect of deep breathing you may prove
when you are waiting for a car en an
exposed platform.
P. D.: Hew about a fresh air cock
tail te begin the day with? "Wonderfully
exhilarating! By any ether name it
would be ns effective. Here's hew you
tuke It. Standing, te The sure. Feet en
the fleer, net en the rnil. llcnd up se
neck will be extended, shoulders straight,
arms at sides, gradually commence te
brenthn deeply and slowly. Fill your
lungs until you feel them full te' the
bursting point, then let them empty
themselves slowly nnd without force,
Kepent this from fifteen te twenty times,
shake if you must, because It Is a cock
(ail, then hop Inte the tub, and you'll
de n better day'n work mere cheerfully
than you have been doing for n long
time.1"
mO TELL the truth, It will be a
much nicer purty If you nre
there." This is what the Invita
tion te the
TItUTn PARTT
for Washington's Birthday says.
Huve you seen it yet? Or the
truth-telling game, or the surpris
ing cherry tree game? You're miss
ing something! Send your t.elf-ad-dressed,
