The Gift of the Magi Part two of five ~ Continues next week

here was a pierglass between the windows of the room. Perhaps you have seen a pier-glass in an $8 flat. A very thin and very agile person may, by observing his reflection in a rapid sequence of longitudinal strips, obtain a fairly accurate conception of his looks.

Della, being slender, had mastered the art.

Suddenly she whirled from the window and stood before the glass. Her eyes were shining brilliantly, but her face had lost its color within twenty seconds.

Rapidly she pulled down her hair and let it fall to its full length.

Now, there were two possessions of the James Dillingham Youngs in which they both took a mighty pride. One was Jim’s gold watch that had been his father’s and his grandfather’s. The other was Della’s hair. Had the queen of Sheba lived in the flat across the airshaft, Della would have let her hair hang out the

window some day to dry just to depreciate Her Majesty’s jewels and gifts.

Had King Solomon been the janitor, with all his treasures piled up in the basement, Jim would have pulled out his watch every time he passed, just to see him pluck at his beard from envy.

So now Della’s beautiful hair fell about her rippling and shining like a cascade of brown waters. It reached below her knee and made itself almost a garment for her.

And then she did it up again nervously and quickly.

Once she faltered for a minute and stood still while a

tear or two splashed on the worn red carpet.

On went her old brown jacket; on went her old brown hat. With a whirl of skirts and with the brilliant sparkle still in her eyes, she fluttered out the door and down the stairs to the street.

Where she stopped the sign read: “Mne. Sofronie. Hair Goods of All Kinds.� One flight up Della ran, and collected herself, panting.

Madame, large, too white, chilly,

hardly looked the “Sofronie.� “Will you buy my hair?� asked Della. “I buy hair,� said Madame. “Take yer hat off and let’s have a sight at the looks of it.�

Down rippled the brown cascade. “Twenty dollars,� said Madame, lifting the mass with a practised hand. “Give it to me quick,� said Della.

Oh, and the next two hours tripped by on rosy wings. Forget the hashed metaphor. She was ransacking the stores for Jim’s present.

Rings Rings draw attention to the hands, so it’s important to pick a flattering style.

The length of the fingers is an important factor when buying rings. People with long fingers can wear almost any style. If his or her long fingers are very thin, look for oval or round settings and wider bands. Short fingers look best with settings that don’t extend past the knuckle — that only accentuates the shortness of the fingers. Oval shaped stones make the hand look longer and are good choices for short fingers.

Getting ring-fit right can be tricky. To make choosing easier, use a ring-sizing chart. Take a ring that fits and place it over the nearest-sized circle. The inner edge of the ring should align with the outer edge of the circle.

If the ring appears to fit between two sizes, buy the larger size.

Protecting Your Purchase n

Know exactly what you’re purchasing, and get all estimates of gem quality and treatments in writing.

n

Be sure to ask about your jeweler’s return policy before purchasing. If shopping online, be sure to buy only from reputable and researched sources.

n

Losing valuable jewelry is always disappointing, but if the piece was a gift it likely had emotional value as well, which can make it heartbreaking to lose. Plan ahead to preserve your precious memories by having valuable gifts appraised and insured by a company that specializes in jewelry insurance, such as Jewelers Mutual Insurance Company.

If you need jewelry insurance or would like a free, noobligation quote, visit www.insureyourjewelry.com.

Earrings Earrings for women should balance the shape of the face. Once you know her face shape, buying earrings is easy. n Oval faces can wear almost any earring style. Hoops and triangles are especially flattering. n Round faces beg for longer earrings with oblong or straight styles. Avoid round and chunky earrings that sit on the ear lobe. n Square faces look best in hoops, ovals and small earrings. Avoid short and chunky earrings because they can make the face look wider.

Now that you have the basics, you can shop with confidence and pick out something that you know will be treasured.
