JEWELERS ADOPT NEW CARAT WEIGHT SYSTEM That diamond ring you purchased a year ago now weighs more than when you bought it. Even If the price of diamonds had not advanced during this time you would be slightly ahead of the game. The reason for this Is that a new standard for weighing dia- monds became effective July 1. A diamond purchased before July 1 weighed 205.3 milligrams to the carat. Now it only weighs 200 milligrams. So your carat stone has taken a leap and now weighs a carat and a frac- tion. Variation of the standard of the carat in the different countries, the difficulty in calculating prices of precious stones and pearls in "sixty- fourths," and the necessity for keep- ing stock records In fractions, has in- duced the more advanced nations to legalize and adopt a decimal carat weighing exactly one-fifth of a gram, or 20 milligrams. This new system now is employed In Evanston. Germany, France, Spain, Austria, Italy, Japan, In fact, nearly all coun- tries, now use the new International carat Its compulsory use became a Mrs. Frank Collier and daughter, law m Belgium last March. Holland now has legalized this new standard, although the dealers there are not yet using it Strong efforts are being made to bring England into-line. The new weights are a trifle lighter than the old ones. The old carat in general use In this country weighs 205.3 milligrams. The new interna- tional metric carat weighs exactly 400 milligrams. J^.^:$-r. The following beneficial results by the adoption of the new standard may be mentioned: World-wide uniform- ity of standard; Increasing accuracy In weighing; simplicity In calculating values which the general pnbllc ban more readily understand. - The local jewelers who ha^e been naing the new standard believe it la * good one and that it win be appre- ciated nrore a« the peoius) become more .am'wn&-1ftoi\e:-;*%£?<vX:.:- -When the new standard went Into effect the price of dJanumda decreaaed The Marquis of Spinola is peeved Although only a portrait, he looked it as he peered through the thin pig- ments and the carmine shadows of bis oil features yesterday. Artistic woe in large chunks emanated from his secluded corner In the old masters' room at the Art Institute, Chicago. For years this picture has held un- disputed sway as the only Peter Paul Rubens In Chicago. Today a mysteri- ous, obscure canvas, supposed to be from the same Inspired brush, and valued at $85,000 Is causing gossip In art circles. The disgrace of it only the Marquis of Spinola can know, for his portrait was the favorite of all the works of the great Dutch master, who for many years refused to part with it. The story of the rival Rubens comes from shadowy corners and cobwebbed corridors through which the sun sel- aom gleamed. Long years ago the picture adorned the walls of the old home of Judge Sidney C. Eastman of Kenilworth. it was one of thr family heirlooms. As the judge addel to his collection of rare paintings the antique passed farther back into the gloom. Its owner used to say laughingly to his guests as they passed It by, "It's a Rubens." "It Is," said A. Chataln, a Frenah artist, who makes his home in Chi- cago. • "It is," joyfully exclaimed St. de Severlnus, a restorer of old masters, who has Identified many. Then he shut himself up with the priceless canvas, removed thirty coats of var- nish and found the eagerly sought-ror signatureâ€"P. P. Rubens. Judge Eastman sailed away to Eu- rope. So did Chatain. St. de Sever- inui^WAS^ifift^alone tor restore^ th* 43x33 canvas, depicting a queen swal- lowing the ashes of her dead husband while eight Interested personages looked on. "There Is nothing Improbable or ex- tremely Impossible In finding a Rubens," said Dr. Alfred Emerson of the Art Institute. "His canvasses to the number of 2,253 are recorded. If it was painted, as I hear, during Rubens' Roman period, it was before his greatest work. If genuine, which I could not say even if I saw it, 1 should consider $50,000 a debatable price." "There Is one chance in a million of Its being authentic," said William V. O'Brien, the well known art dealer. "There is no Rubens^ authority Jn America, and not a half dozen In the world." home-madeeandy, etc.,yfl Wttme sB^et^Rae, 4^pfeenleaf av ll^njk/Smiih, Wes^Railroad avenu • ST Welsh, sh VgBjm.6 Wilmett te Stu Central aven C.
