STRINGS Olt‘ PEARLS.
Real Dangers of losing Thcm
Through the Breaking of the Cord.
It might seem as though the cure or
a string of pearls was a very simple
matter. and yet the possessors of these
precious gems arc often heard bcwail—
ing some misfortune that has hap-
pened.
"Naturally I was three-nuartcrs of
an hour late to dinner the other even-

pearls broke just us I was clawing
it nround my neck."
"The being lute is immaterial. but

As a fact pearls should be unfulilnglv
rcstrung every three months or they
cannot be worn with security. 'liw
heavy silken cord that is generally
used to string ihcm appears to be the
only thing that will give them tlic
