the State Supreme Court judges and
many other distinguished men.

Abdul Hamid as a Humorist.

On one occasion the grand vizier gave

describing the magicisn's feats TO the
Sultan the next day. one Of the court Of

Would you believe it, sire, that poor

Before his appointment TO the Salonih
post, NJ. Coromilas published the Cor0-
milas Journal in the Greek capital, and
his influence on Hellenic politics and
diplomacy was recognized throughout his
country. At his Salonih post, it is un-
dersto0d, he antagonized British inter
ests. and upon his governments atten-
ton being called to that fact, he was
recalled and offered the Washington post.
NJ. Coromilas IS nearly fifty years old,
and VIII make a picturesque addition
to the diplomatic corps Of this city.
The last Greek minister here was Jean
Gennadius. who arrived here March I,

Immediately after the disappearance Of
Clarkson and Miss Maloney, however, the
fact that Clarkson had visited an attor-

The only way that Osborne could have
known Of the fact was through a COM

Clarkson. Friends of the two believe

Leach shipped them to Cleveland, refus-

are too slow for anything" A Grim
son spot glowed in the face of the
other woman, woman who had
queened it right royalty in most ex-
elusive circles until the cruel crash of
monetary tragedy had robbed her of
at all. A fierce anger burn ed at her
heart. For a moment her slender
hands clenched and words strong and
bitter rose to her lips, but she dare, not
utter them. The woman on the other
side of the counter was rich and in
fluential--one of the stores best Gus
toners. Had she resented her words,
out she would go-the woman she had
dubbed shop girP'--even this poor
little position taken from her--this
means of gaining her bread often
minus the butter.
The woman of wealth found fault
with nearly everything, at last select
ing an expensive bit of lace and rib
bons that she declared did not suit at
all, but about the best you have.
She went on her way, with not even
a thought at her heart for the sting
and the stab she had given that other
woman. To her, the other woman had
no individuality. She simply handed
out the goods. Even with our men
who, even deep down in their hearts
honor as well as pity the woman who
| is forced out into, the world of graft
and gain. are sometimes selfish and
cruel enough to offer inducements in
a material way to the woman to the
SOIL If not utter ruin of the woman
who works. All the pity of it! All,
We sisters of fashion, comfort and lux
lury and with kind husbands and faith
ers to shield you from it all, hold out
cordial hands, say no cruel words.
Don't snub, for only God knows how
soon you, too, may be on the other
side of the counter.
