Her Ring Is Her Mascot.

Miss Amelia B. Edwards, the English author and Egyptologist, dresses in quiet, conventional taste, but possesses one noticeable ornament, which, however, seldom, leaves its restingplace in her jewel box. . This is a ring mounted with a scarabaeus in gold. The Egyptian beetle, for such it is, is said to have been taken from the wrappings of a mummy, and is as old, perhaps, as the days of the Pharaohs. It is green with age and green with ttye glitter of small emeralds. Although she seldom puts it on her finger, Miss Edwards is said to regard the symbol of ancient Egypt as a sort of mascot, and to carry the scarabseus ring with her constantly on her travels. — New York Press. ■/.
