A MILLIONAIRE FOR A DAY, The dedication recently near Son- ora, Cal » Of the Mark Twain memo:- lal cabin, the little hut where (the | future famous author lived while he | was prospecting in vain for fortune, | episode which he has related in one of his own works.

THE SETTING OF A DIAMOND The setting of a fine diamond is very important. The beauty of even a most perfect stone is lost if set clumsily, too deep or too crowded. A stone whose setting does not detract from its loveliness, but makes it stand out, is unmistakable.

They are fine and worth while. 'In order to make them show off they should be well set, they should not be crowded. to detail, and they should be arranged in a bit of white space that will make them stand out and attract the attention that is their dye.
