to me as they do when I visit them or
they visit me in return. And they are
not broken down failures, either. BY
worldly standards many of them are

successes as to a wheel. They are Living
the life OF gold fish In a globe And
they cannot escape. They do not possess
themselves: the city and what It stands

Diamond Imports Climbing.

AS a means of throwing further light
on the high cost af living ii. may be cited
that our importations of diamonds from
Paris increased from $4,000 in 1918. to
81, las, 900 in 1919. We doubled our i'm
portations Of feathers: and our ilnporta-
tons of all kinds Of hides and skins
Increased from a little more than $l.OOO,-
COO in 1918. to $751; 0O, 900 in 1919. OF imita-
ton stones there was also a notable in
crease, the importations of 1918 being
$4,000 as compared with s.. 500. 900 in
1918. Genuine precious stones increased
more rapidly than imitation, for in 1918
the importations were SAB 900 While in
1913 the purchases from Paris alone had
jumped to $6,000.000.
