Last evening some forty Or more couples, most of whom could be classAd as Sourdoughs, congregaT ted in Arctic Brotherhood hall as hosts and hostesses to Mir. and Mrs. Fred J. Weber, who will leave on the Jefferson Sunday for their new home in California after their Ion residence in Skagway.
 Although it was quite unint en- tional on the part Of the committee having the affair in hand, it was a pleasing, but neverthel ss, singu lar coincidence that the cozy hall of the Arctic Brotherhood should be chosen for the farewell as it proved that it was in this same build ing. some fifteen years ago that Frde Weber first met susan MaXon, and shortly afterwards made her his wife.
 The affair last night was one of the most pleasing ones imaginable, and from the first tune was played until the "Farewell" waltz ended, each person present enjoyed hin2,lf to the utmost.
 During the evening a most sub stantial and delicious supper was served.

Nine. Yone Suzuki, of Kobe, a quiet,
gentle Japanese woman, has made
$100, ,OO0, 900 in American money since
the war began. Her war brides were
copper, cotton and sugar. She is the
richest woman in the Land of Cherry
Blossoms today, and wears medal
and a decoration from the emperor for
stimulating export trade and commerce
When her husband died the manage
ment of his store fell upon her shoulders,
and she didn't know thing about run
ming store. But she still is head of
the firm, which was one of the first to
export japanese camphor to Europe.
Later this capable woman established
peppermint factory in Kobe, a sugar
factory in Moji, and bought the Kobe
steel works, which employs 600 men.
Until three years ago she was at her
desk every morning. Now she comes
down several times a week. Hers is
still the final word in all transactions
of business house that exports to
every corner of the globe sugar, cam
phor, -four, rice, beans, copper, sulphur,
coal. cotton, wax, oil, etc.
When Nine. Asa Hirooka, known as
the Iron Woman of Japan" died, the
empire lost not only one of it's richest
citizens but one of the most influential
women of the Orient. She was mem
ber of the Mitsui family-the Wander
bilts of Japan. 90.

His words were almost like a chal-

Then suddenly he leaned his cheek to
the instrument and drew the bow across
the strings with Il savage softness. The
old cotton field fiddle cried out with a
thrilling. exquisite pain, but mufflcd. as
hand at the lips turns agony into n
tender moan. Some one-some spirit
in the fiddle was calling for its own.
Five minutes later--a five minutes in

"Das a fiddle l wouldn't sell for a

dat I wouldn't sell it for ten tousand.

The Romany handed back the instru

makes it better than it is. It's not a
good fiddle. but it has something-ah,
man alive, it has somethng,' 1t was

birds, raising clamor that filled the
forest. But above their cries sounded
the loud. clear song of the stranger
so sweet that even in their alarm the
birds and Peggy and Billy had to stop
to listen to 1t.
1t was n song of joy, song of roll

fcctively at the Romany. Berry, how
ever, said to the still absorbed musi-
clan, "Where did you learn to play?"
The Romany started, and a flush
crossed his face. Everywhere, he
answered sullcnly.
"You've got the thing Sarasate had"
Ingolby observed. II only heard him
play but once-in London years ago !:
but there's the same something in it,
] bought fiddle of Sarasate. I've got
it now
"Here in Lebanon?" The eyes of
the Romany were burning. An idea
had just come into his brain. Was it
through his fiddling that he was going
to find a way to deal with this Gorgio,
who had come between him and his
own?
"Only week ago it came" Ingolby
replied. '"They actually charged me
customs duty on it. I'd seen it ad-
vertised, and I made an offer and got
it at last"
"You have it here-at your house
here? asked old Berry in surprise.
Its the only place I've got. Did
you think I'd put it in museum? l
cant play it, but there it is for any one
that can play. How would you like to
try it?" he added to Jethro in friendly
tone. "I'd give good deal to see
it under your chin for an hour. Any
how, I'd like to show it to you. Will

they were listening because It was the
man who was singing-singing like a
bird, the melody ripping out from
among his whiskers in rarest purity
and beauty.
How wonderful" whispered Peggy
in awe. ..---
''He may be sorccrer casting his

singing-like the sirens of old, about

Billy.

BRUNO DUKE, ,Solver of Business Problem
HAROLD WHITEHEAD Amhor "1he Business Career of Peter FIn
(Copyright)

the prize pigs I uset to see at the old
country fair in County Kildare-and
them poor thin things" She shook her
head sadly. "Not a pick on the bones
Of the whole parcel of EN-"
Every week we all got together for
a general exchange of iGeas, and at
these weekly meetings we planned the
work for the coming week.
1t was at one of these meetings that
Duke punctured our optimism about the
business. We had been talking over the
menus for the coming week. OF course,
while we offered only four lunches (all
without dessert, as I said before) at
the agreed upon price of thirty five
cents, fifty cents, sixty five cents and
seventy-fiv cents, we changed the
makeup of the lunch every day. 1t was
a good thing to make the dessert extra,
for most people wanted dessert.
The result was, that while the lunches
as fixed were cheap, the average amount
spent for lunch with the extra dessert
was seventy five cents.
Each days Luncheon was advertised
with a brief description of it, written
in Betterly's unique style, which made
people hungry just to read the adver-
tisement.
The result of our luncheon cam
paign,'' as we called it, was so good
that I'm afraid I began to think that
the "Golden Houri' restaurant was over
its troubles-and I'm sure that both
Miss Elan and Miss Howarth thought
the same.
At the meeting I speak of, Duke had
been unusually quiet, so quiet indeed
that I said:
