TEXAS WOMEN HUNT
PEARLS IN A LAKE

Austin. Texas. Aug; $50 great has
become the pearl hunting industry in
Caddo lake. according. to state deputy
game warden Robert L. Goodfellow, it
has become necessary for the state. TO
issue permits to those desiring to fol-
low the business. Thus far there have
been issued upward Of ZOO permits, but
under the present law no charges can
be made for such permits. The permits
contain certain regulations which must
be observed by those who desire to
hunt for pearls. one OF the regulations
being that each person must deposit
the shells on the bank so that the state
may easily dispose Of them
One rather novel feature of this new
industry. deputy Goodfellow says is
that over one-half of the hunters are
women who don bathing suits and go
into the water like veterans in quest
of the elusive pearls. Some of them
have made some rich finds and getting
large sums for their pearls.

A Certain Charm.
There were a dozen questions that
Helen wanted TO ask, but she had no
time. for he put her on the bus waved
a hurried goodby. and then jumped on
another bus going in the opposite d.
rection.
As Helen rode toward Kensington
She read the advertisements Warren
had marked. and many others. There
was q certain charm in the qdaintness
and unusualness of the wording What
would these places be Ike?
Ever since she was a child Helen
had always pictured places in advance,
and now she tried to picture these.
She had read a few English novels in
which the scenes had been laid IN
bachelor halls or chambers, and from
which she was now unconsciously
drawing her pictures.
But the romance and adventure OF il
all was somewhat clouded by the feel
ing of responsibility. Warren expected
her to find a suitable apartment. She
must not disappoint him She must
not admit that she was less capable
than he thought her.

the conductor.
Helen climbed out She paused on
the corner. again looked at the num-
Der, and then up and down the street
