To make these double bows, which

quires two strings of small pearl beads,

wire, costing five cents spool, and
some maline, costing five or ten cents.

forming two loops. This serves for the

Know Madam Ricardo?" inquired
one of the group on the hotel porch.
Well | should smile at that! know
her tely-intimately! And Mrs.
Believes tossed her head and smiled
at the naivete of the question.
"They say there was dreadful
scandal about her last summer, wasn't
there? inquired little Miss Jones.
Not that | want to hear 1t If 1t Is
true, you know"
Miss Jones played a part not un-
known at summer hotels. Posing as
a hater OF scandal. she liked to draw
out the worst Of everybody, and then,
having reveled in what she heard, as.
sumo indignant virtue
Mrs. Believes and Miss Jones were
the leaders at the hotel. Nobody had
made them SO, but they had assumed
that role. There was plenty OF gos
siping on the veranda, while the
needles clacked. The only woman who
did not join in 1t was the shy, quiet
little woman Of thirty or SO, who sat
alone and unfriended at the other end
of the porch.
Nobody had ever troubled to take
any interest In dowdy little Miss Went
worth, and nobody was likely to.
What aroused the antagonism of Mrs.
Believes and the rest was that she
didn't seem to mind being ostracized
In fact, she had been overheard to say
that she had come to The Pines for
long rest.
Well, to begin, Ricardo isn't her
name" said Mrs. Believes. She's

DISCUSSING THE W0RKMEN
Contractor Declares the Town Men
Won't Work Regularly, and They
Shirk Heavy Work.

A downtown contractor was dis
cussing the labor problem as 1t came
under his personal observation. Il
don't know what is the matter with
town men, he said. They won't work
regularly and they shirk when there
is any heavy work to be done. This
is especially true of the men who
have entered the ranks OF the wage
earners during the past ten years"
One wonders how general this com
plaint Is. Are city men unequal to
hard labor? Have modern urban con
ditions weakened the stock to the ex.
tent indicated?
There Is a good deal more to the
problem of unemployment, as It ex-
lists at all times, than the mere III
ingness on the part OF some to per
form hard labor. Some are unem-
ployed because unemployab,e. That
Is the more serious aspect Of the mat
ter.
1t would be an unfortunate situation
II what the downtown contractor says
OF city workmen were true OF any
considerable percentage of them. One
prefers to believe that this particular
mans experience was unfavorable
and that what he says applies to no
large proportion of those who must
labor with their hands for their own
and their families support. There is
opportunity here, however. for an in
teresting inquiry into the relative
stamina of city and country work

wife. Mrs. James Bellowes-my son.
Mrs. James Believes, my sons f1ancee,
Madame Ricardo"
"Eh?" stammered Mrs. James Bel
loves, staring into the face of the
famous singer.
"Mr Alpenstock and I have been
engaged to be married quite some
time, said the singer. Il must apol-
ogize for having been known to you
under my maiden name. You see, the
court gave 1t back to me when l had
to divorce Mr.. Ricardo. But l didn't
pay him anything to leave me-he
went away with another woman. And
that story about Mr.. Alpenstock wasn't
quite true. In fact, Mr.. Alpenstock
seemed quite pleased with his sons
engagement"
Katie, you're the best thing that
ever happened to the boy" growled
the millionaire with conviction In his
voice.
And Mr.. Alpenstock has given me a
pearl tiara-not diamond, Mrs. Bel
loves. but l didn't ask for it, and
there wasn't any trouble. Just wanted
to set you right, you know-for the
sake Of Miss Jones'"
The party entered the hotel, leaving
the group on the piazza looking with
amused interest at Mrs. James Bel
loves.
In my opinion it's all a pack OF
lies" snapped Mrs. james Believes
