HAIR NETS AND .ARMEAlANs
Interesting Comparison Between Cost
Of the Former and the Clothing
Of the Latter.

The hair net milady wears would
clothe several orphan children in Ar
menia for more than six months. That
Is, the cost Of them would. Even Ar
menian orphans are sometimes more
modest than milady.
Experts have figured that $50 will
completely attire in unbleached mus
lin garments a child Of the Ear East
relief orphanages Of the Transcauca-
sian famine zones for six months. And
experts also hgure that milady's bill
for hair nets during like period would
be in considerable excess Of that
amount, depending upon-well, upon
several things. Hair nets are Of un-
certain durability under any cIrcum-
stances. And milady ID. not always

tates to hazard some guesses.

In her heart and groyeled joyfully at
his feet. She bought each of his books
when published. whether she had
shoes to her feet or clothes to her
hack.
Mrs. Livingstones husband was only
an ordinary being who knew nothing
whatever Of Art; and it was relief
to her-and perhaps to him, poor man
when he departed this life, and left
her to an artistic widowhood with
anything but an artistic income-if
size counts In Art. But one must eat,
and one must wear clothes Gin chilly,
civilized Boston, at least), and Mrs.
Livingstone suddenly realized that
something must be done toward sup
plying these necessities of life for her
self and her young daughter, Mabel.
1t was at about this time that there
came sharp ring at the doorbell, and
stout man with small, but very
bright black eyes asked to see Mrs.
Livingstone.
II have come, my dear madam, on
a matter of business" said he suave-
ly; "and though I am stranger to
you, you certainly are not one to me-
said business, madam, yet I and
the one for whom am speaking are
so anxious that you should look favor
ably upon our proposition that had
almost said that had come to ask a
favor"
Mrs. Livingstone relaxed from the
forbldding aspect she had assumed,
and looked mildly interested.
"A gentleman wishes to leave, his
house in your charge, madam. The
house Is advertised for sale, and from
time to time parties may wish to see
1t. He would like it to be in the care
Of someone who will understand how
to show it to the best advantage, you
see."
Mrs. Livingstone's back straight
ened. and her chin rose perceptibly.
Had she come to this-a common care
taker? And yet-there was Mabel.
Something must certainly be done.
$ "Who is this MANI" she asked ag-
gressively; and then she almost
started from her chair as the name
fell from the others lips-it was that
borne by the Inimitable One.
''That man!'' she exclaimed breath
lessly. "That famous creature with
