A raport comes from Paris admittedly a cen *tral authority on the merits of jewellery, to the gong- affect that a wily syndicate of Forman 'srchants Taiphong... Aalizen...... bate distributed vë tha Nijni Novgorod faira a stock of 100,000 imitation turqucisos. The blus atomas are in graat request among Russian ladies, particularly when set after the Persian manner. ir stool or silver. It is not likely that in modern tiaw the turqaoles will ever be valued as it an- danbtedly was in oldeà days. Now it doponds chiefly on its exquisite colour, whereas then it was held in high estimation for its efficacy as a talisman. As a kind of barometer by which senstancy or its absenco could be registered, the blus stona has enjoyed centuries of repatation, and even now in Germany it is the recognised gogo d'amour.
As it is peculiarly able to olange colour it do is to keep up its his terle character..

Ho favourito author of mine, and I could not tell you how many times I have read him.
