MAN'S JEWELRY IS NO INDEX TO HIS WEALTH So Says a Jeweler Who Has Seen the Day When Only the Bon Tons Wore Diamonds There was a day when a diamond indicated that its wearer was a per son of considerable menus, but that time is no more, according to Louis Sclig, a well-known Klixabeth t'itj jeweler. The only people who wore diamonds a few years ago were weal thy ones, with the occasional excep tion of some person who had fallen heir to a valuable piece of jewelry. "Diamonds and expensive ones at that, arc now worn by people in moderate circumstances," says Mr. Selig. "The size of the diamond or ' the value of the jewelry is no indi cation of I he wealth of a person. ' People with incomes of less than | $1,500 a year buy diamonds costing several hundred dollars, watches up to $100 apiece and occasionally more than that. "Young men who ten years ago would never have dreamed of such au outlay, now purchase engagement rings costing hundreds of dollars. A young fellow is more scrupulously prompt in paying for his engagement ring than many people would think. The engagement ring is invariably paid for. "People do not buy so much jew elry as formerly, but they buy bel ter jewelry. There is little demand for other tban-solid gold or platinum mountings, and it is impossible to sell a piece of plated jewelry to a foreigner. They always insist on j buying solid gold." Asked if the automobile lias had any effect in the sales of jewelry. Mr. Selig said: "There have been some changes1 made by the automobile. hut not great as many people believe. Altho. many people are anxious to >o\vii an automobile, and make extra effort, to acquire one, jewelry is so much in style, that altho a luxury, few peo ple are satisfied to be without it.rThe inc reasing demand for jewels by peo ple who seldom bought tliein a few years ago, outweighs the falling off in sales which would have been brought about by the desire of ]>(?<>-'? pie in better circumstances to own a car." Many readers would be surprised at the great number of high priced diamonds sold in Elizabeth City. | Very often- diaimands-.-are purchased at prices ranging from $l,o00 to 000. WHAT A SMART BOOTBLACK MAKES IN ELIZABETH CITY ! The hov who shines your shoes may not be paid more than two dol lars a week, but that isn't all he gets. The operator of a bootbl: ck stand in Elizabeth City states tir.tt smart bootblacks, who stick to their busi ness get as much as six and seven dollars a wce(k in tips. Eight of ev i cry J?*i? i?<?opl?i*J**'.geJ their- shoes sinned in Elizabeth City give the I bootblack a nickel tip. And Eliza beth City lias only recently begun doing the tipping. Out-of-town drum mers tii> bootblacks more than home people do for the 'reason they have been accustomed to tipping, and hitve had it to do wherever they stopped. In some cities bootblacks pay for the privilege of working at trrtiiin stands where tips net the boys from twenty to forty dollars a! week, llotne folks now are fastly ac quiring the habit of tipping. ? ??' ELIZABETH CITY MAN DOUBTS RETURN OF MARK '< ' ?' ' ' S. Harry John sou. of Elizabeth City, who recently returned from a tour of Europe, savs lie doesn't ad vise Iniving Herman marks, in spite of'the glowing account lie gave of the industry and application of the Hermans. Heading Mr. Johnson's opinion of tJenaany. several young' men about town were struck with the idea that the mark would soon come back. For instance Hugh Chapped, a pupulai young bachelor would buy some marks to leave lie ?hind liiii) for his children, alt ho his wedding is yet a few months off. Mr. Johnson says he doesn't think the mark will be back soon. Germany has too many war indemnities to | pay.
