What humans r chiefly hunt
ing for nowadays is inspiration
In n form or another. This
story cannot fail to give its
reader inspiration, and therefore
fits pazue can hardly be overes-
ffnaafed The magic of the love
of man for woman, that, aroused
simply by the sound of a voice,
causes a young millionaire to
cross oceans and traverse
foreign lands to find his fate
mas never better pictured. The
story is Intensely romantic and
dlzuringly mysterious. The in
sfdious evils of unwise marriage
with foreign "nobzemen" are
cleverly shown, and the familiar
Italian brand of intrigue is laid
bare. The author shows that the
reward of patience and purity is
happiness and that the wages
of sin is death. He makes you
laugh when he pictures the od-
ventures of an American comic
opera troupe stranded in foreign
lands. He makes you thrill with
the wanderlust when he describes
La Bella Napoi and the vine
covered slopes that rim the
Mediterranean.

AMERICAN EXTRAVAGANZA

CFrom the Seattle Observation-Disclosures
over s400C0,Qo0 worth OF diamonds and
other precious stones We're imported into
this country through the port OF New

ent month and that total importations foS
the fiscal year will he at least Ss4.0dO.coi
exceeding by 100000 the greatest pre-
vious importations ever recorded.
The significance of these figures lies iS
the showing that people are not only
prosperous enough to spend millions for
articles of personal adornrnent but that
they have no fears for the future to CONS
pei them to exercise some OF the econos
mics which were much in evidence
