Symbols of love sell
In the spring a young man's fancy turns to love-but sometimes love can be expensive, especially when diamonds are involved.
And Lawrence jewelers say diamonds are definitely involved in the spring.
The jewelers said engagement ring sales increase from April through June and wedding ring sales rise as much as 50 per cent.
However, one jeweler said his biggest diamond ring sales are just before Christmas. Others
agree this is also a big month for engagement rings.
The most popular type this year is the solitaire especially among KU students, according to the jewelers. However, one jeweler said diamond rings with side stones are coming back.
Some jewelers said more people are buying yellow gold settings than the white gold which has been the most popular the past few years.
In wedding bands, the plain gold band is the most popular.
The Castle Tea Room STILL THE MOST UNIQUE RESTAURANT IN LAWRENCE
There has to be a good reason why students and faculty alike continue year after year, to patronize us. It could be our warm, friendly atmosphere, fine food, "Old World" decor, or just the fact that we're different. Our four dining rooms, furnished in birch, cherry, walnut, and oak, are perfect for dinner dates, meetings, and even wedding receptions. But, whatever the reason may be, we're glad you've made us the most popular restaurant in Lawrence. We've been that way for 20 years.
If you're new in Lawrence, we'd like to get acquainted with you. If you already know about us, you will be glad to know that we're still here. We haven't changed!

Purse snatchers beware—it's HIS
The latest word from New York fashion designers is the announcement of a new item which no man should be without—a purse.
According to purse manufacturers, European men have accepted the idea of carrying purses and before long Americans will adopt it also.
These fashion designers figure men need something in which to carry all those little items which now make them look like they've got lumpy hips under today's tight-fitting clothing. So, into the purse go keys, billfolds, handkerchiefs, pens, combs and loose change.
The chances, however, of a nearsighted purse-snatcher making the fatal mistake of stealing from, say, a football tackle are slim. The designers of these purses, given the brand name "Manbags," have gone out of their way to make sure each purse has a masculine flair about it. Materials such as canvas and elephant grain cowhide are sewn into shoulder bags, camera case copies and miniature brief cases because these styles haven't yet been identified with the women's market.
Manufacturers suggest wholesale prices of $10 and retail prices of $20 for these items. However, the KU man who decides that this is what he has been waiting for will find that he will need to shell out considerable more than this, because as yet there isn't a lot of
Of course, if anybody gives him any trouble he can always hit them with his purse.
