Did it ever occur to you to \vendee

Then there are those who find rest
and relaxation in needle work, music,
reading, or working with flowers, and
who devote some time each day to
these pastimes. To some women sew-
ing is a bore and a burden'but to
others a delightful pastime. Similar-
ly, the care of flowers is the hardest
kind of work to sonce'"woinen, while
others snatch a few minutes now and
then in the busy day to refresh them-
selves among their floral pets and for-
get the little worries of everyday life:
So it 'is well to regard it as a virtue
to loaf a certain number a minutes
every day. True, the children will
fall ill and the rest hour be impos-
sible for days at a time, but as soon
as possible get back to the healthful

We are accustomed to think of gem-
stones as too preeious for oedinary
manufacturing use. But as a matter
of feet much of such material, no mat-
ter what the Wind, is so flawed, lack-
ing transparency, or undesirably col -

ting into gems. The National Museum

Extremely important from an engi-

which is used for diamond drills. Tha.
entire world's supply comes from the
state of Bahia in Brazil, where these
diamonds, which are brown or black
