And for almost every girl back home there is a soldier somewhere who wears a talisman of sorts a ring or a charm or even only a wrist-watch that Is symbolic of somebody's Interest in his achievements and his welfare. Jewelry Just now is rich rather than , ostentatious. A single handsome ring is in better taste than several glittering glitter-ing baubles, though it is qulfo true that the slnglo ring may represent a ; sum exceeding that of several, worn in other times. Australian sapphires arc the vogue of the moment in jewels and these stones aro cleverly cut by the I French method so that tho deep blue i color Is brought out most marvelouslj in certain lights.
