George A Gorgas What We Say It la, It Ij What Does Diamond "Quality" Bean? It refers only to presence or absence of flaws. A flawless stone is perfect quality even though "off" color* The trade term describing qual ity—"degTee of perfection" —should be "degree of im perfection" to be good gram mar, but the salesman finds it more impressive to speak of "perfection" rather than "imperfection." Color. weight and cutting are the other main points in de termining Diamond value. To f judge these and quality ac curately requires much study and long practice in handling many Diamonds. Many years' experience in grading thousands of Dia monds has made Diener an expert judge of Diamonds. Each Diener Diamond is guaranteed as to quality, color, weight and cutting, and prices represent the greatest possible Diamond value in each instance. We'll be glad to show you Dia monds.

AXHEL OF CHINATOWN' COMING Miss Livingston Will Advocate Suf frage Here on Friday. April 30 Rose Livingston, of New York, and Mrs. Ethel R. Vorce, of Cleveland, Ohio, it was announced to-day, are scheduled for speeches under the aus pices of the Woman Suffrage party on Friday, April 30, at the Technical High school. Miss Livingston calls herself a social worker, but in Xew York she is better known as the "Angel of Chinatown'' because of her work for the last seven years in reclaiming the unfortunate vic tims of commercialized vice in that part of the metropolis bounded by Pell and Doyers streets. " 'The girl who disappears' is not a myth.'' says Miss Livingston, who declared she has accumulated proofs of that fact during her work in Xew York's underworld. She has traced many of these unfortunates to the evil resorts of Xew York and Brooklyn and —sometimes alcne and sometimes with the help of the police and city detec tives—she has rescued them. Mrs. Ethel R. Vorce, who is accom panying Miss Livingston on tour of the State, is the corresponding secretary of the Ohio Woman Suffrage Association. She has been a newspaper reporter and then engaged in work of various kinds from singing in a stock opera companv to doing settlement work in Xew York. Mrs. Vorce for three years was presi dent of the Municipal School League, which claims credit for having broken* up the old political ring which con tiolled the schools of Cleveland. She was the first organizer of the Woman Suffrage Party of Cuyahoga county and is now its first vice chairman. For the last two years she has been an officer in the State Suffrage Association.
