EVERY nice girl loves a diamond, and every girl who
sports a modest engagement ring and a necklace or two of semi-precious stones may rearn, secretly or not so secretly, for the real thing. For, by tradition, there is no better way for a man to show his love than to shower her with clear white stones and I do not mean rhine- stones.
There is no better way for a mon to pay tribute to a woman's beauty than iu plaster her with sparking, glistening gems.
