ages are beginning to appear at the

local postonice and is the first indication of the Christmas season. "People seem to be sending packages earlier than usual this year," said Postmaster Beck. "Most of the packages that are labelled this way are sent to some state in the west. Only a few packages have been received here bearing this label."

Diamond Talk No. 2 How to Judqe Diamonds If you ask ten persons what they regard as the first essential to fine quality In a diamond, eight of them will say: PERFECTION. Meaning by that, a diamond free from carbon specks, feathers, fissures, bubbles, scratches and similar blemishes. That word PERFECTION used in connection with diamonds has been overworked for years, and still does overtime duty for those who are unfamiliar with diamond qualities and values. To present diamond characteristics in accordance with their rank as to desirability, it is only necessary to consider this fact: THAT PEOPLE WEAR DIAMONDS FOR THE PURPOSE OF HAVING THEM SEEN BY OTHERS AND NOT MERELY FOR THE SAKE OF HAVING THEM ON THEIR PERSONS. Proof of this, is the fact that no well-bred, respectable woman wears her diamonds: constantly when at home, but she adorns herself with jewels only when she attends the theatre opera and social function or goes into the company of others.
