For Lovers of Sardonix.

If you have an eye open for a good sardonix cameo you will be pretty sure, sooner or later, to come across one that wIH make you glad. There are many Imitations of sardonix and 1* ought to be part of your search to make sure that you know the real from imitation. Often you can come across a good piece in a collection of old jewelry that is being sold because the owners do not appreciate its intrinsic artistic value. Sometimes —especially if you travel in out-of-the-way corners of the globe—you may come across a good piece in a little pawn shop. Perhaps in your own family, stowed away in the bottom box or jewel case with various articles of adornment of another generation and another taste, you may be able to find the precious cameo in sardonix you are looking for. As a usual thing the old settings are the best, though if the cameo needs a new' setting any good jeweler will put the right sort of frame or setting on your piece.—Exchange.
