ABSENCE OF TOURISTS
By LADY MARY

London, August S.--(Special. )---Ev- eryone is staying on In town, Is may say. and looking quite pleased about it and the Ritz and the Carlton are just as full at the witching time of luncheon as they were weeks ago. The ,oung fmatrons all look like young girls. The other day, Lady Cunard. who seems almost years younger than her daughter, Nancy, in the sweetest little blue silk frock. inches above her an- kles, was at the Carlton. Hers was the shortest and the most fetching skirt in the house and her grey suede shoes. twos for sure, made one thank full to think that there are really a few women in England who still have small feet.
 One of the reasons why so many people are going to remain on in town is that they may entertain the soldiers home on leave. Some people think, and they are right, there's not place on the globe where you can spend such a varied holiday as in London. Soldiers, especially, are of this opinion, One notable and interesting figure is ab- sent from London this August. It is the American woman and her veil--the one who lives in Southampton row and HCarrieos & guide book. Most of her hotels here have three-quarters of their rooms shut up because of her de- sertion.

 No "Cures" This Year
 American women in England. just as we'll as our own, believe that a "cure" is absolutely essential if they are to retain their youth and beauty. Naughty William. if only for having shut us out from all the fashionable German and Austrian "bads." must have his nose very itchy just now for smart women who swear by "cure" at Ham, burg, Carlsbad or Marienbad would like to pull it well The late Const.elo, duchess of Manchester. used to say that there was no place like Cauterets in France if you wanted to do away with any "too. too solid flesh" and the year before she died she almost succeeded in getting King Edward to go there and take the waters. This year many smart Britishers and Americans will be found there. Our own Harrogate, of which the duchess of Marlborough thinks so well, Is going to be packed.
 I hear of several women who are making "oures" in their own houses for, war or no war. 1t is not wise to neglect ones looks and "cure" has a magic effect on the complexion.
 Lady Essex Is going to have a rest cure at home. This, some women say, is often more successful than any other. They engage the services of a beauty specialist who is a clever mas seuse and by the end of three or four weeks the patient emerges glorified embellished, and 10 years younger Duke of Norfolk III

Although an aristoerat in feeling in principles and in politics. there never was man who looked less hue blooded. But for all that you can see. he Is personality, forceful. strong and indiyidualistic, too. The duchess. who is baroness in her own right, is also an arfstocrat and very handsome woman Queen May cordially approves of her and visits her when invited The Towards are great pil. lars of the Catholic church in England and give thousands year to its main tenance. The dules pleasant little sis ter, Lady Mary Howard, Is one of the most prominent figures in Catholic society People who don't know her think she's very approachable, but they're greatly mistaken. Without ever being rude she keeps everyone at arms length and has tremendous lot of dignity. Stage favorites, neuyeaux riches, or anyone without a pedigree nearly as long as their arm, never get inside Arundel castle or the Howard mansion in St Jame's Square. It has been the ambition of many rich climber to take tea with the duchess but the desire has never been fulfilled, yet her grace Is pleased to welcome any poor curate. An Irish bishop whom the duchess met at the cardinals house here, asked him to dine with her and the duke some weeks ago at St James Square. Sure, it's very kind of your grace to invite me-" he said, "but that very evening I'm going to take din. ners with MT. and Mrs. Rafferty who used to be my parishioners when was a parish priest in Kerry, and now they've opened provision shop in the north of London

The economic waste involved in the

ry, but recent address on this SUBJ
ect confined to manufactur lines

The figures given apply to II differ

10000 men, and the speaker estimat-
ed that the money lost in one year due
to the problem of hiring and firing
amounted to $500 He fixed the
cost for the purely clerical work of
hiring and recording discharge at soc

Just how much parallelsm there is
between manufacturing and mining in

convenience to the foreman and shift
bosses and to the clerical force in the
office are perfectly obvious, and are
invariably resented in a psychological
way at least, and a money cost Of the
transaction might easily be figured,
which does NOT come tO mind when
for some equally trivial reason, the
man may be handed his time.
Aside from the purely clerical cost
of hiring and the discharge, is the
large economic waste involved in in
structing a new man in his duties, If

him to his place of work and inform
