Jewels
. TIio wearing: of jewelry is one of the oldest of human
customs' and, even in this enlightened use, a more uni-vei-.sal
custom than the wearing of clotliina:. No tribe or
iace of man iu known of that 1ms not some form of jewelry
Mid 'there Blill me peoples who do not observe the custom
(if wealing clothing.
. Americans have always been fond of jewelry in model -ntion,
but. in recent yearsHhere have been evidences of an
Increasing use of jewelry and jewels in this country. Poc
'ple no longer confine their articles of jewelry within the
.limitations of necessity and utility, as did the Puritan
lathers and the early Quakers, and a great part of the
. public since.
; The average man today possesses and wears a watch,
r tic pin, cuff links of precious -metal, a lapel or vest pin
(if some foim, a watch chain and charm, an ornamental
.; Jiclt buckle,', at least one finger ring and perhaps such items
fif jewelry its a pen knife, cigarette ease or cigar cutler.
As for the' .nverage woman of modernity, her collection of
. jewelry injuries', rinjfs, jeweled pins, hair ornaments, neck
' lacesAvachejeweio'd dress' ornaments pendants and bou
" (loir articles. And then tfiere is the average American holfie
, in the decoration and equipment of which the jewelry
, store is playing as large mid important a part as it is in
. completing 'the attire of the occupants of the home.
v Jewelry, both- of the ornamental and useful varieties,
' stands preeminent among Christmas gifts because, though
in universal demand and use, it remains a luxury and the
most practical of people Blill insist upon combining in the
Christmas gift the useful with the luxurious.
In the modern jewelry store has the gilded and jeweled
., dream palaces of the Arabian Nights materialized to prove
lo the people of the United States that the imaginative
treasures of Aladdin, the Spanish Alain and Captain Kidd
were a beggar's alms as compared with the wealth of this
nation. The American people will spend millions of dol
lars for jeWelry this Christmas season without deproving
. themselves of the bare necessities of life. That is in:
. tional prosperity to the fullest.

For Youth
All ehililien and few adults welcome winter with its
snow and frosty air. The few men and women who really
enjoy winter have not cultivated that affinity. Thev have
preserved it from youth. The many in dreading the drifts
and drafts of winter are just lulmittinjr that they are
jtrowino; old.
Hoys and pirls of all generations have looked forward
with keen anticipation to tV first snowfall of the season.
Without KiviiiH' a thought to resultant cold feet and fiu
j:er, fi()f;t-l)itten ears and wet clothintr the children vision
the approach intr coasting, wading in drifts, snowman build
in?, and snowball battles. They hear only the call of the
exhilarating snow and cold. '
Oown-ups are more prone to think of winter in terms
of slippery pavements, drifted streets, chills and coldi.
Where once they would have descried the warm fireside
fur the blustery outdoors they now cling jealously to the
indoors, dreading the thought of going out into the cold.
Winter is a synonym for a whole collection of discomforts
in the cross-word puzzle of adult age. In that of the age
of youth winter is a synonym for real sport.
People arc never old as long as they are undaunted by
the rigors of winter. .
