JEWELRY SHOPS ARE BLOOMING FOR XMAS
Opening her hospitable arms to Christmas shoppers with more gorgeous appeal than ever before is the Jewelry display of Richmond. Sparkling and flashing in the shop windows and cases are all that any heart could want to satisfy love of art, riches or show. Unusually fortunate Is Richmond to have so basclnatlng an array of Jewels and articles of semi-precious value. Practically anything from Japanese silk beauty cases to diamonds worth thousands of dollars aro obtainable in the local shops; shopping at home was never more easy. The "regulars," such as handsome Ivory sets, fountain pens, ever sharp pencils, wrist watches, and on down the line, are stocked, of course. The most prosaic of these come In new shapes, and with a multldinous choice In decorations. Umbrellets are still holding sway, for one of their charms is a short handle which will pack, and people travel a great deal in the winter, esspeclally at the Christmas holidays when the perverseness of other seasons has painted out It is as likely to rain as to snow. Candles Are Popular. Cathedral candles made of a heavy composition, which hold great candles of pastel shades are attractively displayed in a number of jeweldy shops. These candles are quite the thing for long hall tables, mantles or buffets. In the realms of cut glass and silverware, the shopper as usual becomes lost in a maze of things so beautiful that the question is which to buy? Gold lined silver plate coffee and tea sets and magnificent silver water pitchers are among the attractions. Cream and sugar sets can bo purchased for a reasonable price, ranging from $6 and $7 up. Round and oveal table bowls for small flowers with silver wiring across the top to steady the blossoms are among the medium priced silver gift displays. Individual salt and pepper shakers are priced around $2 a set. Cake plates of charming filigree and pounded silver styles have been secured by the local shops In many handsome styles. These too, are excellent gifts. Cut glass is incomparable. Every thing from olive dishes to punch bowls are obtainable. All sorts of table ware, vases and decorative articles, are In the cases. French flower baskets in various sizes and in imitation cut jrlass, seem attractive. Chine Ware Good. Highly colored china ware is the "crow" everybody Is after. Tremendous has been the demand for Mexican pottery work and brilliantly burned coffee and tea sets. Quaint Coblentz blue with a line or gold Is especially colorful in these. Perfume and sachet powder, manicure sets for dressing table and traveling bag; silver vanity cases, mesh bags of the finest quality yet ranging in price from $12 up to $&0, and dozens of hand beaded French bags and Japanese embroidered ones are awaiting milady's selection for her own beautification. While the beaded bags are undoubtedly the "catch" of the season, plain black bags with charming linings are also holding sway. Tasseled bags are to be seen in profusion. For men, the supply of things beautiful, is quite varied. Military brushes in ebony, ivory and silver, bejeweled cuff links, tie pins, pill and card cases of handsome leather, cigarette cases and holders and many things are to be had. Often the cuff links have a tiny diamond on one side and a matched ruby or emerald on the other. Emblem rings, lamps, sautoir lockets of which their are many kinds, and individual bread and butter plates are some of the specialties ouered. They File A Couple More They'll Both Be Millionaires In A Year NEW YORK, Nov. 2S A unique love affair has gotten into court in Naw Jersey. William Russell Smith wooed and won May Lillian Phipps. All their friends began laying by for the wedding presents. And then the announcement came like a clap of thunder out of a clear sky "the engagement is off.' May said it was his fault and sued William for $25,000. William said it was May's fault and sued for $10,000. May came back with another suit against William for another $25,000. And William countered with another suit for $10,000. Now if May wins all her suits she'll have $50000. And if William wins all his he'll have $20,000. Then if they marry each other they'll have $70,000 between them to begin housekeeping on. And being married to May, William won't have to pay that $50,000, and he'll be just that much ahead, increasing their joint wealth to $120,000. When May marries William she won't have to pay that $20,000, and she'li be that much atu'ad. When added to their total brings it up to $140,000. and shows how wonderful is the science of mathematics.

Only Two Men in A. E. F. Are Unaccounted for by Officials at Washington WASHINGTON, D. C, Nov. 28. Private Gilbert E. Brown of Bozeman, Montana, and William Z. Taylor of Elijah, North Carolina, are the only American soldiers, of the more than 2,000.000 sent to France, for whom the War Department has been unable to account. They are classed as "missing in action." Whether they were killed in battle, or died of disease in some obscure place or in prison, or whether they are still in Europe or other foreign country, or have returned to the United States, the War Department has been unable to determine. The War Department's success in ascertaining the fate of every one of the Expeditionary Force in France is regarded as remarkable. In the Civil War, fought in a relatively small section of this country, the "unknown dead" were counted by the thousands. Hardly a national cemetery but has hundreds of graves holding the remains of Federal or Confederate soldiers who remain unidentified. Relatives of men who fell in France have at least the consolation of knowing the way in which these gallant Americans died, and where they are buried. Their bodies are resting in cemeteries that are practically American soil and that are to be permanent and beautiful memorials o the men who lie in them. English Railroad Offered First Excursion in 1841 (From the Manchester Guardian) It seems so long since we had excursion trains that, if ever the rail way companies should relent, their revival will perhaps cause as much sensation as their origin did in the forties of the last century. One of the earliest was in 1S41, when a number of Cheltenham residents agreed with the directors of the Great Western Railway Company that the com pany should convey one thousand persons to London and back for $2,500. A Cheltenham newspaper September 23, 1841 described it thus: "Coaches, cabs, omnibuses, carts, etc., poured their contents into the good old town of Cirencester from various parts some to go to London and others to watch them off. 'The way to the railway' was the inquiry of the morning, and the banks on each side of the cutting were lined with young and old, great and small, for two miles up the line, all anxious to take one 'longing, lingering look' of those who were about to leave them for the fine sights of London City." The special train started about half past 10 o'clock with about 850 passengers. The day was very hot, and the train stopped at all the principal stations, in order that the trippers might refresh themselves. The excursionists arrived at Paddington about 3 o'clock in the afternoon. The news that 850 Gloucestershire men were traveling up to the metropolis in a body quickly spread, and "a few mm No home-made pancakes can possibly be as good as those made from this famous blend of wheat, corn and rice. Be sure to say "VIRGINIA SWEET" to the grocer.
choice spirits of the town" were waiting to give them a hearty reception. One gentleman, in deep mourning, took his place in a bus filled with some of the jovial members of the party, and after he had left, saying he felt unwell, the company found they had lost, one a purse containing $25, another a gold watch, and a third a pair of gloves. Wednesday was fixed for the return of the excursion in expectation of which many persons assembled round
the station and on the bridges over j the line to welcome their friends. The train left Paddington, amidst enthusiastic cheers, at 6 o'clock, and arrived at Cirencester about midnight. Nation of Israel Was First Real Democracy Charles Foster Kent, in Yale Review The essential democracy of the Hebrew commonwealth has hitherto been overlooked because of the title borne by Israel's rulers has been invariably translated king", and the state over which they ruled, a "kingdom." Both translations are misleading, but it is difficult to find an exact equavalent for the Hebrew word melech. In the Hebrew and in the cognate Assyrian and Aramaic language the root from which it is derived means to "counsel" or "advise." Gideon, Saul, David and their successors were, by virtue of their title as well as in fact, simply the chief counsellors of the united tribes. Their functions and authority were practically identical with those of the tribal sheik, only they served a larger and more stable social group. Their method of election was even more direct and democratic than that followed today in electing the President of the United States. Fighting Craba of Japan. In Japan there is a species of the crab which is always looking for a I light. As soon as two of them meet j they challenge each other by scrap- ! ing their claws together anad then i they rush at each other and struggle until one is exhausted, but he still keeps on scraping his claws in defiance of the other. The victor then twists off one of the claws of the vanquished one and carries ii. off as a trophy of victory. Sea Shell Window Panes. As a substitute for glass, sea shells are made use of nicely in the Philippines. The largest shells are about three inches square and placed In the windows they permit the passage of the light and the interior is flooded with a pearly-gray illumination which is very pleasant to the eyes.

Tommy and Fraulein
are Getting Friendly LONDON A Leeds soldier who has recently returned from the Rhine has made a remarkable statement on the way In which British soldiers there have been fraternizing with German girls, says the Times. He says he went to Cologne Cathedral, and there say twenty-three British soldiers being married to German women. The cathedral was full of people and a German to whom he expressed surprise told him it was quite a common jthing to see British soldiers marrying" German girls. The soldier went on to say: "One man who came home with me told the colonel that he would forfeit his gratuity and all his pay If they would allow him to remain in Cologne and marry a German girl. The colonel said he could not do that, but explained that when he had been demobilized at home he could get a passport and return to Rhineland. That man since has returned to Germany. When I told him what I thought about it he remarked that he had taken a fancy to a girl with plenty of money and as he had no ties in England he might as well marry her. Any night in Cologne you can see our men with their arms round German girls, and young officers seem as keen as the men. You can see dozens of them at the dances." Part of the Rheims cathedral dates from the thirteenth century.
