Advice To Brides-to-Be On That Important Purchase—The Engagement Ring

1. Brilliant-cut; round in shape; traditional engagement stone.

2. Square-cut; modern and streamlined. Looks best in stones weighing at least one-carat. Usually set

in platinum. For capable hands.

3. Emerald-cut; most popular of the modern cuts. Sometimes square, sometimes oblong as shown. Iden-

tified by nipped-off corners.

4. Marquise-cut; “fire” similar to the brilliant. Graceful and romantic shape that gives slender lines

to the hand. Very feminine.

5. Matched set of diamond engagement ring and diamond-topped wedding band. A few small diamonds

cleverly set in embossed metal to give glitter at a price.

6. Triple matched set for today’s “Kiss and Good-bye” weddings. Diamond engagement ring, matching wedding ring for bride (with smaller stone), and plain wedding band for bridegroom.

| DEAR JANE JORDAN—I have been married. for six months. My husband and I don’t get along. We have quite a few quarrels over money. He figures what I make and so much out of his pay every week for bills. He used to fuss when I bought anything for myself but one night after a pretty serious argument he told me he didn’t care what I spent my money for. Last week-end he went on a fishing trip and I imagine he spent 12 or 15 dollars. When he asked how much money I had and found I had only $4.50 he was very angry. I only drew $9 this week and paid two bills of $1 each. I went to the show with his mother one night and had a dollar's worth of new pennies I wanted to save. His exact words were “I don’t care what you {spent it for. All I care is thai i you spent it when you shouldn't.” I've tried to explain that he is { unreasonable and he Just says, |“If you don’t like the way I run

{things you can take your clothes land get out.” He told me that from now on he was going to spend anything he wanted to because he had given up the idea of having anything. He said that it was my furniture and if I wanted it I could pay on it, but as far as he was concerned they could have it. I love him or I wouldn't have lived with him this long, but my feelings for him cool a little more every time he has one of those outbursts. Do vou think it would help matters if I would quit work and do my own washing and ironing and just keep house? J.B | = 2 2 : { Answer—If your husband is worried about money I don't see how, it would help to have less money ‘which is what would happen if you | ‘quit work. After your furniture and other debts are paid there will | ‘be time enough for you to consider | {giving up your job. In the meantime make a budget {and adhere to it rigidly. There are! {budget banks with compartments for | {each household expense which are {helpful in keeping up with the bills.| {Bach of you should keep a small {amount of spending money for

at first because he is angry and ‘has said a lot of things which he. 'did not mean, but which he hoped! ;would hurt you. Start on your own and don’t be disappointed if he doesn’t join in. He will when (he is convinted of your earnestness |and desire to co-operate. Try not to quarrel with him when you're trying to_put something over. {You can stand up for yourself with- | out losing your temper. It isn't al (good idea to be a doormat wife, but 'it is a grand idea to let your hus-| ‘band feel that his influence over] you counts for something in your life.

Try These New ‘Getting-Up’ Exercises

And if you're! has the im-| pulse to reach out and shut off soe} alarm and go back to sleep, ex-| ercise might help you break the! habit. Try it for seven mornings in a row. After turning off the alarm, drink a tall glass of water, then get back into bed. But instead of covering up and falling asleep again, stretch your feet toward the footboard, fold your arms across your chest, and, keeping ankles together, lift legs upward til they're almost perpendicular. Then lower legs as slowly as you can.

Breathe deeply, lifting hands overhead as you inhale, lowering hands as you exhale. Let the chest cavity expand at the sides as your lungs fill—don’t encourage the chest to heave up and down. These motions stimulate the circulation and wake you up. If you still feel any lackadaisical hesitation to be out and active, rinse your face and throat with very cold water until the skin is pink

The balance go into

SO THE ANSWER to the price question is not to be found in the quantity of diamonds that come out of the ground, but in the comparatively few cut gems fine enough to become your betrothal stone. What you need is a guide to quality. Then you'll understand why the jeweler says, “This ring is $150, but this one, which isn’t any bigger, is $300.”

There are four key words in judging diamonds, all be-

ginning with the letter C. The first C stands for “carat.” This is the term for the unit of wetght. On the labora-

tory scales one carat weighs 2/10 of a gram, but in.a-

jewelry store one carat is said to equal 100 points. That means that a diamond listed as weighing 55 points, is just over one-half carat. The larger the diamond, the more it costs—providing all other factors are equal. A three-carat stone also costs more than three times the price of a one-carat stone of comparable quality, because larger diamonds are more rare than small ones. The second C stands for “cut” Diamonds do not sparkle in their natural state. these odd-shaped little pebbles, you'd never think of it as being a gem. The ancients didn’t either, until someone discovered that by grinding two diamonds together you could cut little planes, called facets, in them. It is the light striking these facets that makes a diamond glitter. The early idea was to cut as few facets as possible, so the weight of the stone would not be reduced too much. Today we know that a larger number of facets, correctly placed, give a greater brilliance. That's why today’s gems have so much more life than the dull little diamonds in Grandma’s breast-pin.

are cut and polished.

If you picked up one of:

THE FAVORITE CUT for an engagement solitaire is the round diamond with 58 facets. This is called: the brilliant-cut. Brilliant-cut stones come in’ all. sizes, even as small as one point, or 1/100 of a carat. The little ornamental stones set at the side of the solitaire, or across the top of the wedding band, are usually these tiny bril-

‘liants, There are no more so-called diamond “chips,

which were simply irregular bits left over from the.cutting of larger stones. Today even the smallest diamonds

The third C stands for “color.” Fora ‘bridal diamond,

you want a clear, dazzling white that sparkles in: :the

light like a drop of dew. Absolutely pure diamonds are colorless, like clear water. Slight impurities give a color tinge to some diamonds. If this color is pleasing to the eye and evenly distributed, the price may be greater than that of a white diamond of equal size. If the color is uneven, the stone is considered “off-color,” and the price goes down. = The fourth C stands for “clarity.”

jeweler will let you use his little loupe, or magnifying glass. Remember, however, that it is a rare diamond (and priced accordingly), that doesn’t show some little scratch, carbon spot, or black speck under a ten-power magnifying glass. There are perfect gems, of course. But if the flaw in the diamond is not discernible to the naked eye, don’t worry too much about it.

Better not trust the: naked eye when you appraise a diamond for clarity. The:

so many women don't realize how much pride men take in having! their wives do really worthwhile things. Ty Because he is proud of her war, work, Mama is getting twice the; amount of satisfaction out of doing it that she would if he paid no attention or treated it as though it were unimportant. If there were more husbands like Papa who showed pride in their] wives’ accomplishing things on their own, there would be fewer women— even in peacetime—wasting their lives playing bridge, gossiping, and trying to out-entertain each other. ” 2 2 SO, GIVE MAMA A HAND, men, when she does something that makes you proud of her, It doesn't give her any encouragement if you're only secretly proud. { Let her know about it. Brag] about her a little to other people when she is around to hear.

Tips on Removing Grass Stains

To remove grass stains from white washable fabrics, such as cotton or linen, launder with hot water and soap, rubbing the stain carefully. If some trace of the spot remains, use a milk bleaching solution, rinse very thoroughly and dry in the sunshine. Do not, of course, use a bleaching solution on white silk, wool or synthetic materials, unless you are absolutely sure it can have no deteriorating or yellowing effect.
