, DIAIOOND8 IN ‘THE ANTARCTIC

Stories of a wonderful diamond mine discovered in the antarctic regiions,'are told -by members of the » Shackleton-Rowen expedition. On a small island near South Geor- gia. pn the fringe of the great ice fields which guard the south pole. soil was discovered which the Quest's‘ mlneralogist declared to be the type that carries diamonds. The expedition also discovered yellow quartz, and it isexpected thatnn attempt will be -made by a South African company to locate the dia- monds. This is only one of the many discoveries made by mem- bers oi the expedition. Gigantic forests were discovered under the sea. and vast new fishing grounds were located. The antarctic wat- ers are swarming with edible fish, and present a new field for the fishing industry. ‘In fact. the fish are so plentiful that the expedition never needed to use bait of any Cescription! Extensive soundings were taken and the greatest depth recorded was 2,700 fathoms.

ACE OF SPADE-S

When a duty was first placed on‘ playing cards in England, thehcl provided that no pack should bet sold unless marked by the stalnlll office to show that the duty hadi been paid, one stamp being placed on the wrapper and another on t.he face oi “one of the cards." A good dual oi confusion arose, and as the luw was often evaded. a later r95- ulntion laid it down that the ace of spades should be duty card and that it should be printed by the authorities themselves, the makers supplying the paper. Sheets 0i twenty aces of spades used to be

4-‘ issued by the stamp office t0 the

manufacturers ior a sovereign. A century later an act lowered the duty to threcpence, and this twas laid on the wrapper supplied hyiilfi stamp office. The manufacturers. then, of course, printed their own ages 01 spades, but the custom of having the card different. from the rest still prevailed, and the ace was, and is. generally utilized as an advertisement for the makers- r. kind of title page, as it were, to the pack. ---¢0>—i- THE FOLLOW-UP METHOD.

HATS SHOULD BE INDIVIDU- AL

The hat should be constructed -to suit the individual head which is to wear it, says a milllner who works on her own original lines-— Miss Mary Gladys Oglvle. New York. who builds. a hat on her cus- tomer‘s head.

When a customer wants a hat '.\liss Ogjlvle studies her as for a ‘portrait, thcu assembles her ma- terial and gives her subject a sit- .ting, "building" the hat then and there.

“Clothes should be self-expres- sion. not fashion advertisements r-r a disguise," says the artist mil- liner.

"A woman's hat not only should bring out the beauty of her feat- ures. it should . hint also at her character. her inner self.

"l pay most attention to line rand color. The color must blend with the skin and hair, and the gown with which it is to be worn it should not be so brilliant or ex- treme as to overpower the individ- uni. .-

"A small woman never should try to build up the size of her head. but rather emphasize its smallness. She should keep to the natural lines of the head and de- pend upon a snappy bow. a grace- ful feather, or some bright bit of trimming for her effect.

"The tail woman should not feel called in to combat her inches by

a flat or too large hat. The Russ-

ian turban. the full draped, Orient- al turban, or the cloche shape with the full crown that extends beyond the features is choice for the jtgl woman."

-?_-<+>————— COLOR QUESTIONS.

Nature is full of puzzles, and not the least of them is that of color. Why is it, for instance, that nearly all the birds with beautiful voices are so dull in pmmoge?

The nightingale is the most inslg dlificanfticoklng creatures imagln~ able; the thrushsplumnge is quiet and the skylark has no bright coloring. The parrots and cockatoos which szre-t-inted- iike-the rain-bow, have harsh and discordant voices. Many sesgulis are white, or nearly so; yet white is the rarest

. color in land birds. Why is. this so?

Usually the very light-colored birds are the owls, which move by nlglbt and not by day.

There are plenty of blue butter- flies. but I do not think that there is s. single blue moth-at least, not among the British species. True, some of the hawk moths have blue markings, 'but nevertheless. blue is a very rsre color among moths. it is (IILTICIPIJL to see why this shoufid be so.

Some people seem to think that the intensity of color in nature is due to sunshine. if this be so. why is it that the most glorious colors in the world. those of the ruby, sapphire, and other ‘gems, are found buried deep in the earth?
