HALLOWE'EN FESTIVITIES.

Your Lucky Birthday Jewel.

If you wish good luck to follow you throughout life, wear the stone belonging to the month in which you were born.

JANUARY.

By her who in this month is born
No gems save Garnets should be worn;
They will insure her constancy,
True friendship and fidelity.

FEBRUARY.

The February born will find
Sincerity and peace of mind,
Freedom from passion and from care,
If they the Amethyst will wear.

MARCH.

Who on this world of ours their eyes
In March first open shall be wise,
In days of peril firm and brave,
And wear a Bloodstone to their grave.

APRIL.

She who from April dates her years
Diamonds should wear; lest bitter tears
For vain repentance flow; this stone
Emblem of innocence is known.

MAY.

Who first beholds the light of day
In Spring's sweet, flowery month of May
And wears an Emerald all her life,
Shall be a loved and happy wife.
