 She dressed finer than his first wife did-most second wives do-she spent more hours at the piano, and seemed several degrees more aristocratic than the first Mrs Berrie.
 It was an honored custom, reaching back to the stouter branches of the an cestral tree, for the owner of the Farms to give New Years dinner to the coun- tryside; and each guest was invited to come and turn a new leaf for yearly luck"
 Of course, it was the tfirsts," and not the seconds" or 'sthirds," as the ship Pers say, who enjoyed these annual feasts End, usually, they began several weeks before to plan what to wear" This year it seemed a necessity to be little more width of trimmings, for the new Mrs. right, and dressed elaborately.
 ''We must make an impression" said Mrs. Wilton, decisively, land she must feel that our presence is an honor to the Farms. intend to have new silk; regular dinner party dress"
 And so the "frsts" planned to sur pass all former efforts, for the sake of profound impression; therefore, by the middle of December score of lovely new gowns were the pride of as many ambi- tious feminine owners.
 The mistress of Shelly Farms was af- fable and gracious to all, and the tony 'ffrsts" were just dying to display their rich costumes in her honor, But for some unaccountable reason the invitations were tardy.
 | Could it be possible that the second wife was one of those new women, who would, at one fell swoop, eliminate the annual 1 dinner? And would John Berrie stand | that?
 : In sheer desperation of suspense, Mrs. Goldwaite was delegated to call at the Farms, ostensibly to speak of a philan- l thropic movement, but really to scent the l New Year festivities and overdue cards. Mrs Berrie received her visitor very courteously and pleasantly, and supported the philanthropic idea enthusiastically, even graciously accepting the presidency of the society when they should organize. But when the conversation drifted into l holiday news the caller could not, by any tact, draw out the brides plans concern ing New Year's day. Exasperated, Mrs. Goldwaite suddenly let go skirmishing and asked her, point blank, If the Farms would give annual dinner this year?"
 70, certainly answered the new wife, l her face lighting up with pleasure, Thus band and I have been planning for that l some time. The invitations are late, but l Mir Berrie could not help me until to-day, l and, of course, am not well enough acquainted to get the names alone. We shall send them this week, however, and

THE STRIKE PROOF NAVY.

ks the season advances the mutterings in the
world of labor become louder and the efforts of
the walking delegate TO elevate his fellow
workmen and to earn his salary become more
energetic. Conditions are studied ana are
usually found to be wrong. Measures toWaru
righting them are discussed, changes sug-
gested and retributive action limited at in case
the employer does not accept the terms or the
employees. All this energetic work in the in
terest of the workingman and the solicitude On
the part of the labor leaders for the betterment
of the rank and file cause fear, however, on the
mart of the public-fear thai building opera
tions NAV be suspended and that traffic on the
ranid transit lines of the city may be crippled
The first of these fears has already been
realized, not because the walking delegates
have discovered nOn-uniOn men at work on
union jobs or because union men were not re-
ceiving what they considered adequate pay Ior
their work but because one labor organization
has determined to crush q rival and to relegate
its members to non-unionism. Men who refuse
to be "unionized" have been denied ADMISSION
to buildings in course Of erection by walking
delegates in order that union men may not De
contaminated by contact with the Independent
artisans, and building operations, large and
small all over the city have been retarded De-
cause of the perennial efforts Of the profes-
men who pay his salary.
The officers in charge of the navy yard at
Brooklyn are evidently not sufficiently 1m-
pressed with the importance Of the walking
delegate, and do not fully appreciate his work
in the interest of organized labor. When one
OF those business agents called at the navy
yard and informed the officer in charge or a
construction operation that he had in his en-
ploy non-union men and that they must be dlS-
charged and union men employed In their
places the seadog had the audacity TO order
the man thrown out and warned against en-
| tering the government reservation in the future
| Regardless of the fact that the man was
| walking delegate, with all the rights, priv
| iIeges and prerogatives Of the Office, the other
man, who was only an officer oe the United
| States Navy, continues to employ whom he
pleas ses. union or non-union man, insisting only
| on efficiency.
In these days Of strikes and threats of STRIKES
| when men are forced against their Will into
| idleness by the tyrannical measures of organ
! lied labor an incident like this one is refresh
| ing not because it is a victory for Independent
| labor, but because it demonstrates that there
are still some employers Of men who take the
bravado of the professional laborer at its true
value and that one of these is the man who
| wears the uniform of the United States Navy.

ANTLAMERTCAN SCHEMES.

The International Agricultural Congress at
Rome displays. according to our special cor
respondents cable dispatches marked Jeal-
ousy of America among Europeans and de-
sire 70 conduct an anti-American campaign
But there is a striking difference of opinion
among the various countries to the man
ner in which such a campaign should be wageo.
Germans want all European powers to unite
in customs league which would put prac-
ticaIIv prohibitive tariff upon American prod
nets That is theoretically q simple schefne'
quite elemental in its suggestion or prute
force Practically. however. it would doubt
less prove so complex as to be Impossible. 1t
is inconceivable that the various European
mowers. which differ radically among them
selves as to tariffs, and which have for many
wears been in q chronic state of tariff war
fare among themselves, should find in an
tagonism TO America common ground OF
agreement and union Enmity does not thus
engender unity.
The other scheme advocated by Italians
is neither so prompt nor SO simple but II
offers incOmparaby greater promise OF good'
1t is. in brief, that Europeans should so I'M
prove their ways and means or producuoh
as TO be able TO meet American competition
successfully. 1t may be a question Whether
that is altogether possible. That 1t Is pos
sibIe TO a considerable extent is not 10 De
doubted The countries of Europe are not
played out" They have not as have AS
syria and Persia and other lands, been trans
formed into deserts by defOrestaton. Their
soil is potentially as productive as ever. The
agricultural possibilities sof France and Ger
many are enormous. The plains or Hun
gary and the steppes Of Russia might well
become the grain fields of Europe. All they need
is the intelligent introduction and use Of the
methods and machinery that have proved so
profitable in the United States. But, of course,
there is no use In expecting muJik with
a sixteenth century equipment to compete
with an American farmer.
The enormous advantage OF this italian
plan over the German plan is that it would

SCATTERING NAGE EARNERS.

Sanguine owners of real estate in Brooklyn
predict that when a sufficient number of bridges
and tunnels over and under the East River IS
finished the population of that borough will ex-
ceed that Of Manhattan. Their prophecies may
be sound N the development of the metropolis
land upon this island may become so valuable
for business purposes that only the wealthy
NAV be able to afford the luxury Of living any
where between the Battery and the Harlem
River
If that time ever comes there may be no more
tenement districts between the East and the
North rivers. and the wage earners may be
driven out of Manhattan by the high rentals and
be scattered in every direction. But the day is
distant
