on, the Romans first coined MON

ful medium of trade was there
fore taken directly from the tem

MONEY, but the word MINT, as
well, was so derived.
Few users of "household am

name the familiar drug is wear

Jupiter Amnion, god of the Egyp

first discovered, nnd for Jupiter
Amnion himself that the pungent

modern world has found so many
uses.
One of our old-fashioned flow

THE names of precious stones
gave evidence of their anti

GEM is a shortening of the
Greek word GEMMA, which
means "a bud". JEWEL is a more
modern word, coming from the
French JEU,"plny," or"jou-Jou,"
"a plaything".
DIAMOND means literally "un

HARD, and it is leaily another
form of the word ADAMANT.
The word TAME Is from the

GARNET was named from Its

Pomegranatum means "an apple

Mystery Of Rising Cards Revealed
By Wizardo
TODAY I am going to teach you
"The Mystery of the Rising
Card."
There are many ways of doing
the famoiiH rising card trick, but
most of them are very difficult
and suited only for the atage.
The method I will show you tan
be performed any place and with
out fear of detection.
Card Risea From Pack
KFFIX'T: The maRician allows
a card to be freely selected from
the pack. After everyone but the
magician ha seen the card, it is
put back into the deck. Holding
the cards outstretched in his left
hand, the magician asks the au
dience: "How would you like to
have the card appear, fast or
low?" If the answer "fast,"
he turns to the person who se
lected the card and asks him to
"name the card." Say tho answer
is "Jack of Diamonds." With his
arms still extended and holding
the deck, the magician commands,
"Jack of Diamonds, rise"' To the
amazement of everyone, the se
lected card Jumps nut of the deck
into the air. If the answer Is
"slow," the card rises slowly and
mysteriously from the pack until
it is in plain view of averyone.

of cards you will find trv- or three

There Is Definite Knack
To Wearing Of Jewels
By Deborah Ames
NOT long ago I was a guest at
a luncheon honoring several
young girls who had just been
graduated from one of our best
finishing schools. They were all
nice kids, between the ages of
about seventeen and nineteen,
well behaved and nice to look at.
One of them, an exceptionally
pretty child; and almost the
youngest one there, was exhibit
ing her graduation present an
enormous diamond ring. It was
too big for good taste even on
an older woman, but on her It
Uokcd simply horrible. I was a
bit surprised to hear that her,
family had given it to her.
Perhaps I am being a bit old
fHshioned, but I can not feel that
diamonds aro appropriate for
youngsters and esnecinlly big
ones in very ornate settings. Dia
monds arc a hard and brilliant
stone, and they almost demand
the same Bort of surroundings.
A lovely pearl, or even some of
the beautiful semi-precious stones
would have looked so much better
on the girl. Leave Diamonds until
a woman can provide enough
sparkle and wit in her converse-,
tion to match the stone. This
child couldn't and shouldn't be
expected to.
THERE ts a great knack to the
wearing of jewels. It is better
to wear none at all than to wpar
too many or the wrong kind. My
mother-in-law and I used to have
great discussions over the fact
that I did not wear my engage
ment ring at all times. It was a
very beautiful ring two big dia
monds and a sapphire, and I
really thought a great deal of it.
"Twin
By Inez
(As Told To Five
ONCE there were two little
brown hears named Johnny
and Jimmy. They looked so much
alike that you couldn't tell which
was Johnny and which was Jim
my. They were twin bears. Even
their own mother couldn't tell
them apart. They lived in a cave
at the edge of the forest, and
their mother always said:
"Don't go into the forest be
causo you're too little."
So Johnny and Jimmy played
all day long near the cave, and
never went into the forest, until
one dny Johnny stood on his hind
legs and said:
"I'm bigger than you."
"Oh no you're not," said Jim
my, and he stood on his hind legs
too,
"We're both big now," said
Johnny. "Big enough to go into
the forest."
So they did go into the forest,
walking on their hind legs. The
first animal they met was a
squirrel.
"We're bigger than he is," said
Johnny.

For the first three or four years
of my marriage my husband and
I wore very poor, and could af
ford no maid, consequently I did
all the work about the house. I
simply did not see myself plung
ing those lovely stones into dish
water and furniture polish and
the babies laundry. I think there
are few things uglier than dirty
diamonds.
I never did like jewelry on men.
but that is merely a v-i'sonal
prejudice. I think it aris?3 from a
very nasty person that I knew in
my youth who wore a largo yel
low f'inmond on his pu(''y yellow
hands. I think a seal rinjr or one
with the family crest, is perfectly
all right. The "crash tpgs" that
so many men affect now are per
fectly proper, too, as long na the
wearer is entitled to one. Really,
only aviators are suppo.ed to
wear them, and tho generM the
ory in giving them is ba:;H on
the old army practice of giving
them when a flyer first snlos.
Rather a gruesome reminder in
the n"me, but they have grown
into almost a part of the uniform
now. I remember how proud I
wns w.hn I fastened the shiny
ne'.v one nrc-und my husband's
wrirt. It's still there, battered and
sr-rtched, but he seldom takes it
oft.
Of course, it goes without say
ing that jewelry of any sort is
very out of place on young chil
dren. I am glad that the practice
of giving rings and lockets to
bah it a is almost forgotten. Babies
should be so sweet and clean that
they need no jewel to call atten
tion to them.
