She attended the Baird's School reunion in 1900 and thaKis • whex!e she renewed acquaintance with cati and becatne Lucy's friend. - Mrs. Howes knew Lucy was interested in rocks and gemstones and so she brought her brother Albert and his wife to see Lucy, and show her his lopidary collection. Albert Livermore had shown views taken on the trip around the 'North American continent via pe.narna which he and his wife had enjoyed, at the Horticultural Society meeting in 'llarriston., And they came to Clinton where Mrs. Howes remained a few slays with her sister Mrs. McCartney and visited Hayfield en route to their home in Etobicoke. Albert Livermore was a locomotive engineer with the CNR for 42 years. His last run was Owen Sound to Toronto, When he retired, he .builta pretty home on the northern oute• • skirts -of Clinton, surrounded by flowers. Later, lie sold. this property and moved to Toronto. While in Clinton he took an active part in the Horticultural Society, Three years ago Mr, and Mrs. Livermore spent winter in Lakeland, Florida, His interest in gem stones was sparked by a man he met doing a bus tour of Washington, D.C. He told. Mr. Livermore how he polished stones by the tumbler - method, But being an engineer, he devised a machine which was a more satisfactory method of tumbling the stones than that given him. He also learned to polish them by hand with the clop. stick. And soon he. started cutting stones. But he was not satisfied with his first attempts and bought better equipment.. He ,nee_s_a_ slab and trim saw to cut. Mr. Livermore brought a smart wooden display case which he'd made to carry his stones and finished product. The jewellry was mounted on trays which fitted into it. Lucy and Carl gazed at their beauty as he names the stones in the various pieces. One beautiful pendant and long drop ear-rings was tiger eye, a South African stone purchased at a hobby shop some of petrified wood which was found in a gravel nit near Edmonton: a Montana agate was very beautiful; moonstone glowed with its subdued light; amethysts were cut from stones which came from Bancroft. Mr. and Mrs, Livermore visited Bancroft last summer. Tons of stones are shipped to other countries from this area. Three- quarters of the different types of stone in the world are found in and around Bancroft 2.000 one man told them. They have little mines up there and one man to whom they spoke was filling an order for some special rock to be sent to Europe. There were stones from the lakeshore in Hayfield dangling from bracelets. Others cut and set in round and oval shapes. Mrs. Livermore was wearing a pair of long drop ear rings cut from amethyst from Bancroft. It is not as deep a colour as that found in other parts but Lucy noticed that when she leaned over and the light caught them they fairly glowed, . She also wore a beautiful bracelet of shades of green with one stone of green and pink in a veritable paisley pattern. One outstanding ear ring 'ma- Fin et"'was of silver maple. leaves with a bloodstone from India. A silver lapel pin from which hung two tiny animals in onyx from the Nevada desert was beautiful. The jewellry was not all designed for women There were cuff links and tie clasps in agates of various colours for men. In London, England as they walked from Buckingham Palace to The Mall, Albert Livermore picked up a very ordinary looking stone which turned out to be an,agate. He had been given some garnets, varying in size from peas to marbles, found in Parry Sound, but he was unable to use them as polishing did not eliminate little thread-like holes in the stones, one of the prettiest was sodalite from Bancroft? many tons of which has been mixed. Amazonite from the same spot was also attractive, Lucy has often read that the stones we kick around on gravel walks or roads, or in gravel pits and near construction may be semi-precious, or even e'precious" seeing that South African diamond prospecting companies have staked claims in Canada. Only when one becomes interested in lopidary does one realize how rich Canada is in minerals, and our own province of Ontario in particular. Kimberlite, the host rock of diamonds inSouth Africa and Siberia has been discovered in the Kirkland Lake area. Lucy has not been so fascinated by pretty stones since she was permitted to play with those collected by her cousins, Raby, Nan and Isobel, when she was very young. Mr. Livermore had a box full of polished stones for Lucy, but both she and her spouse felt it was imposing on good nature to accept more than a cup full of samples. These now have a place of honour in an 'antique beer glass which came from the River Hotel, and serve as a conversation piece in the parlor.
