ply that she was there to marry the
boss. Her words got to him, and he
called her in and discharged her. The
foreman of her department was at
tracted to her, being German himself,
and he helped her to find another
place. When brother Jake was told
Of the change he explained that here
and there was boss that was mar

wife away right of. With little pa

When Olga had been in her second
place few days she heard that the
boss was single man, and she wrote
the good news to Jake, who replied:
Il told you so. Truly, America is a
great country. Cast your eyes down
when the boss says he loves you. They
all do that on Fifth avenue. It makes
a boss more fierce. The grocery bust
ness was fine"
"You are a poor worker, and you get
the lowest wages and the most fines.
Why do you stay?"
The question was asked Olga at her
second pace, anu ler answer was
prompt:
II am here to marry the boss!"
"Olga you are fooh"
1T is so in America, and I'm not
fool He may come in any day and
ask me to marry him."
Two days later she was discharged.
She went HON weeping and sent word
to the German foreman Of her first

"You see," he said when he called
that evening, "your boss has had two
wives and divorced both. He wants q
little rest before he takes a third.

Derry Is Declared Worst Of
Towns in ireland.
Morality at a Low Ebb-Absence Of
Industries Has Fostered Pauper-
ian and Drunkenness-Oran
men on Parade.

New York.-On the afternoon OF
the 18th of July, after ten days sail
Ing, we came within sight of Tory
island and the wild headlands of Don
egal, a writer says. We passed Malin
Head and were soon turning south
ward into Tough Foyle and were max
ing for the little white village of Mo-
vile on our right. The low white
houses, set in a background of green,
made lovely picture. At the back OF
the hills were some delicately tinted
white clouds that looked like peat
smoke. That's the smoke of Finn
MacCumhaill's p1pe," said one Of our
passengers facetiously. 1t was none
too large for that. especially IL the
old account be true that Firms car
cass, buried in the meadows, took up
nine acres Of potatoes. But here was
waiting to take us to Derry, the city
Of the gallant siege and of countless
subsequent fights between Orange
MEN and Catholics. We had a natural
longing to see so famous a city. Be-
Sides, the next day was Orangeman's
day, and We would be likely to see a
grand procession in the streets, with
possibly some incidental head-break-
ing in the good old fashion.
Next morning walked through the
principal streets Of the city, and saw
the historic walls. which, mounted
with cannon as Of old, still stand as
sullen reminders of the memorable
conflicts they once witnessed. The
walls originally Enclosed the city,
which has since extended its bounda-
ries beyond them. 1t is not a great
Industrial city. It has a few short
factories. which employ a few thou
sand women, but it has no employ
ment for the men except casual dock
labor; a state OF things which results
In many cases In the wife being
the bread winner and the husband the
housekeeper. There are far too many
hard-faced beggars to be seen on the
streets, and undoubtedly the precari-
GUS nature of the dock work allows
too many opportunities for workmen
to become loafers and tapsters. Ac.
:ording to one of the members Of the
Royal Irish constabulary with whom |
talked, Derry is the worst town in
ireland in a moral aspect. The low
&roggeries and lodging houses in
which the city abounds lend color to
s}lis accusation.
1t turned out that the Orangemen's
meeting was not held in Derry that
day, but in place called Raphoe,
about twenty miles distant, where q
large party of them had gone by the
morning train. In the evening l saw
Them returning from the station and
marching in procession across the
wide bridge that spans the Foyle.
There must have been quite one thou
sand of them and each one was wear
ing an orange lily In his coat and a
yellow sash across his shoulder. Many
of them also carried yellow and red
banners and there was no lack OF
Tiers and drummers, whose party

Marrying The Boss
BY CARL JENKINS

Olga Schmidt had heard things
about far-off America months and
months before she landed at Ellis
island. Her brother Jake had been
over her for two or three years. and
then returned home on a visit.
why, father" he said, though you
are an old man you can earn 81 day
In America. They want old men
there. They don't want their work
done too quick. as young men would
90 1t. The grocer for whom I work
has to tell me dozen times a day
that l must sit down and rest. Yes,
It's two dollars a day for you"
And can l earn anything?" asked
the mother.
Can you? Why, they have great
buildings there, and the hundreds and
hundreds Of Offices must be swept and
the halls mopped. For every ten scrub
women there is boss woman. You
Shall be boss at one hundred dollars
month. You are German, and you
their brushes"
and about me?" asked Olga, who
was twenty years old, and had never
been five miles from the hut in which
she was born.
Better and better" replied the
brother. 1T is you who are going to
be great lady and ride in your auto.
You will have furs, diamonds, serv-
ants-everything. You will order your
groceries Of me, for l shall soon own
store Of my own
But how?"
Just one little thing, and it's so
easy to do. You will go to work in a
shirtwaist factory, and in a month
you will marry the boss. He will have
a barrel of money. You are promised
to Carl Swager, but he must let you
on. He's no boss. When the boss of
the factory in America sees your red
cheeks and blue eyes he falls in love
and asks you to marry him. 1t is a
great country, sister,"
Much more than this Olga heard and
believed, and she gave Carl Swager
his dismissal and sailed away to
America. She had a place three days
after landing. or course, the girls
questioned her. and it tickled them
half to death to hear her seriously re-

Russian Girls on Begging Tour.


Geneva.-Coming from French ter.
ritory, a band of nomad Russian girls,
fourteen to twenty years old, and who
were headed by two Ga women, have
entered Swiss territory oyer the Col
des Roches, on their way to Neucha-
tel. They were arrested by Swiss gen
darmes, and the old women explained
In broken German that their fathers,
husbands and brothers had been killed
in the Russo.Japanese war, or had
been exiled to Siberia, and as they
could not obtain living in Hussia
they had undertaken a begging tour
in Europe
The story happens to be true, but
how the band of girls crossed the
Russo German and French frontiers
without any papers or passports is a
mystery.

upon the style because so little fitting
is needed. The extremely low cut Of
the armhole is late and popular
touch, and AS plaid silk always looks

materials are much used for them
when the figure is slim enough to
carry of the checking. Sometimes,
too, there are neither revers or cuffs
as here, but puff finish about the
neck and sleeves, with the bias ends
of the fronts and the bottom only
hemmed. In this last shape the max
ing of such q waist is joke, and any
woman with the least sewing talent
can turn out one In two or three
hours.

indicating not only zeal for better

Flowers on Straw Hats.

All sorts Of flowers appear on the
new hats for southern wear and the
spring, just as all sorts are worn In
the corsage bouquets--from orchids
down to phlox. Lilac is favored In
white and in color, and it gives a very
springlike appearance to the simplest
hat. One that is faced with black VEL
vet has tinted ulacs massed all over
the crown.
White lilac in great outstanding
groups trims another pretty model.
