MABEL C.--We suggest "Agate Club" as a pretty name for your society. In

the language of gems agate signifies prosperity. Take each letter of the

word as the initial of another gem, and let the sentiments of these gems

be the mottoes of your club. You can give the name this interpretation:

agate, prosperity; garnet, constancy; amethyst, love and truth; topaz,

friendship; emerald, faith. If you wish for a club pin, you can have an

agate in a simple setting, which would be a very pretty ornament, and

not expensive.
