3inni-:ux way is to strktcii gold HI(;S INSTEAD OF CUTTING T1IESI. InnpfimlTC Stones Xow Iiieil In Slaking; Some of the Most Artistic Ornaments. r H' M , -
The Jeweler of to-day who cuts your plain E&id ring to make It either larger or smaller Is a back number. Frobably few people who leave their rings to be altered In size stop to Inquire anything about the process and take it for granted that if their ring Is to be mada larger they must pay for extra gold to be added to it, or if smaller that they must lose In the weight of their ring because of the cutting out, but all this Is done away with by tha improved methods which obtain among modern Jewelers, for this line of workmanship has made as great advancement during the last few years as has any other of the art crafts. When you leave your ring to be made smaller the Jeweler simply places it in a concave dish. Into which it slips until it reaches that portion to which its lower half conforms. It Is then covered with a flat bit of metal and struck a blow upon the top. This "dishes" the lower half of the ring. It is then Taken out, dropped in the other side down and struck a second blow, which makes the two sides uniform and condenses the ring to the required size. When a ring is to be stretched the Jeweler places on the inside a flat roller, and on the outside a roller with a concave surface which fits the curve of the ring. The two rollers are then turned in opposite directions, thus stretching the ring. Both processes aro the acme of simplicity, and
they not only simplify in a wonderful degree the work of actually changing the size of the ringr by (JcJug away with the tedious filing and the soldering, but the work of polishing Is al?o made less. An application of the rouge brush is all that is necessary after the new process, while after the old the ring had to be thoroughly polished in order to remove the traces of filing and soldering. Of conrse, these new processes cannot be applied to rings with settings; these must be cut by the old method. DIFFERENT COLORS IN GOLD. The use of different colors' of gold and of etones which once would have been cast aside as worthless, but which are now reconized as thoroughly artistic In effect if less valuable when weighed by money value only has resulted in the production of a style of Jewelry which has more of real art than was ever attained by the use of plain gold, even when combined with the most priceless of gems, and it la interesting to know how these different colors in gold and silver are obtained, and something of the new jewels which are being used. The Roman gold which has been longest in use of any of the "colored" golds, is obtained by plating the ordinary gold with a coating of gold 24k fine, and "scratch brushing" this plating with a brass scratch brush which brings out the peculiar yellow color. The rose-flnshed gold, which is newer. Is obtained by means of this same plating left as applied. A contrast is usually afforded by scratch brushing those portions of the article which are in relief, leaving the background with Its dull rose finish. The Egyptian finish, which is decidedly antique in effect, has the rose gold background, but the traeery or the design in relief is burnished with an electric current rot so strong as that used to produce the Koman effect, with the result that a greenish hue is developed. It is this peculiar tone of the gold, combined with the dull rose background, which gives the Jewelry thus treated Its truly antique appearance. Silver is "treated." as well as gold, and no one can question the fact that the softer effects are more artistic than the brilliant polish which dazzles rather than attracts. OXIDIZING SILVER. Silver is oxidized by being painted with en oxidizing fluid. It is then heated so that the moisture evaporates, leaving the metallic substance upon the silver base. The French gray finish is obtained in the same manner, using a lighter shade of the oxidizing fluid. By this means a French gray background may be given to an article, leaving the raised portions burnished, and by the application of the darker oxidizing fluid the central figure may be made with deeper shadings. This combination of burnished silver, French gray and oxidizing gives a most artistic effect, and is one of the newest combinations shown on toilet articles, match safes and similar small pieces. Genuine gun metal s Iron tempered to the required color, but most of the so-called gun metal displayed Is simply iron oxidized to give the same effect. Of the "new" Jewels which are used with such artistic effect this season, and which were formerly counted as worthless, the p,earl slug stands -first in favor. These slugs are found all along the beds of the Mississippi, Minnesota and St. Croix rivers. They are genuine pearls In substance, but Irregular and even fantastic in shape. The larger ones are used for the heads of hat pins and the smaller ones as pendants for brooches and as settings for the many odd and antique-looking pieces of jewelry which the designers are putting forth. A close rival of the rearl slug- is the opal matrix and also the turquoise matrix. Formerly both tin opal and and the turOuni were so cut that none of the mineral deposit in which they are found remained. Wherever the slightest trace of this foreign substance appeared it was cut away, and as a consequence large proportions of these stones were lost in the process of cutting. Now, while as many stones as possible are cut without flaw or imperfection of any sort, those which show the dark line of brick-like deposit are also saved, and these, while much less valuable than the others, are also utilized and are made up into some of the most effective pU cfs which the jeweler displays.

HrriiUliiK tlir !w (iriill)'. Detroit Free Tress. "It was settled some time ago that he was to marry my daughter," said the lather of a girl ot the period, "but It yet remained for the young man t get my consent. It was merely i formality, however, ai? I had cut no figure whatever during the campaign, my girl arranging matters to uit herself without consulting me or my wi.-shes. "Now. I remembered with what trepidation I li.nl approached my wife's father vken I asked him for her hand, and I made i:p my mind that when that young man f-hoMt-d ui t H.k nie for my daughter's rund I would have revtnge. not only for what I lud to pass through when I urged my i:lt. tut for being htvl to the background during the present proceedings. "Well, he called itt my otlko yesterday, and I told my o!Me- toy to adn.it him and l-;tv- Uf alone and frt-e that we w re not dl-'turtf!. " 'Ju.it dropped in.' ald he. easily, declining to take a seat. 'to tell you that I am poirrj to marry your daughter the middle of next mi. nth. It will be an Informal affiir. so you may consider yours If Invited without further notlee. J mh! day." "iiefore I could c;.tch my breath he was gone, und when I complained to my daughter abo'tt Ids treatment of me, all the comfort 1 got wa that I could consider myself fortunate In getting an Invitation, as it was to be a very exclusive affair."
