WAGES AND THE BUSINESS
CYCLE.

Do the high wages characterizing
boom times lead many women tenn
pOrarily to work for wages or salar-
les?
Do agricultural laborers, or the
sons and daughters of farmers, be-
come employees in factories during
boom times and return to their call
ings when the depression sets in?
Are the fluctuations in factory en-
ployment characteristic of the fuc-
tuations in the entire industrial
field?
Is the existence of much part-time
or overtime widespread, or is it
mainly confined to a few industries Z?
Are large and small scale enter
prises affected by unemployment to
about the same extent?
A nationwide inquiry has been I'M
dertaken by the Committee on I'm
employment and Business Cycles APP
pointed by President Harding's recent
Conference, with a view to securing
answers to these questions. The re-
suits now appear in the voluminous
report announced by Secretary Her
bert Hoover, which has in view the
proposed mitigation of the vicious
phases of the business cycle.

You are not to be snickered at if you
do, for the earliest method of count

there was some such expression as
"three fingers Of whiskey."O How
ever, to the real origin of figures.

it represents a figure. Now we count
by tens because our remote ances-
tors did their counting on theil fin

to writer's on antiquities.

the bridegroom closed the door behind
him and anxiously ushered him into the
bedroom.
eyes, yes" he said. "She is my wife.
What has happened to herr"
Nothing so far as / know" answered
the visitor, VINO by this time had pulled a
little sheaf of documents from his pocket
81 amt worried about her. What come
to see you about is her fur coat"
His wife's fur coat? Mr.. Walsh greatly
admired that fur coat. His wife had been
wearing it when he first met her, only
about month before-for theirs had
been a quick wooing. 1t was sealskin
of the "classiest" cut. He had supposed
that she had bought it herself.
"My wife's fur coatw repeated Mr..
Walsh. "What about my wife's fur
coat?"
"Well," said the visitor, "what my firm
wants is to know whether you're gonna
keep on paying for it."
And then he added what Mr.. Walsh
The Washington times. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1902-1939, 1923-02-04

"'And then he told me who it was that
married her and where you lived, and
that's why Pm asking you are you gonna
keep on paying for that fur coat or will
we have to take action?"
He thrust the little sheaf of documents
over to young Mr.. Walsh, who stared at
them with shocked and Mortified eyes.
Sure enough, there was a document show
ing that one James Serretti had paid $25
down on sealskin coat and had paid
three installments on it since that time.
With increasing agitation the bridegroom
noted that Mr.. Serretti's address was No.
466 Fifth avenue, which was the address
of his bride before he had taken her to
his own home.
CT will have to look into. this fur
ther," muttered Mr.. Walsh. "You come
back and see me tomorrow"
And the bill collector walked out leav-
ing behind him a sinking wreck where,
few minutes before. had sailed what had
seemed to be a perfectly sound and sea-
worthy matrimonial craft. Sitting there,
waiting for his wife to return, Mr.. Walsh
thought over their swift, brief romance.
He recalled now that although he had
invited Greta to meet his family she
had never asked him to meet hers.
Whenever he suggested it she would say
that her mother was out, or was asleep, or
not well, and she did not want to disturb
her. 1t occurred to him suddenly that it
was Serretti that she did not want to dis
turb. And then their MARRIAGE? Greta
had suggested that, he recalled, and she
seemed fearful of anv delav.
Just then he heard her at the door. In
she-came and over her shoulders was the
fur coat. She ran to him to kiss him.
"Stop," cried Mr.. Walsh. "Where did
you get that fur coat?"
The Washington times. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1902-1939, 1923-02-04

would get-and Greta had distinctly told
him that there was no other man, nor had
there been any in her life. Suspicion
whispered to him that all was not well.
"What made you come to me?" he
asked
you're her husband, amt you?" asked
the bill collector again, patiently. "That's
why. This is just business matter, gov
ernor. You see, that coat was bought on
the installment plan. twenty-five dollars
down and SIS week. l went to the fell
Ter that bought it and he says to me,
he says:
"'That girls left me- he says, and
gone and married another Teller. Why
should keep on paying for her coat when
another Teller is getting the good of
looking at it. You'll have to collect from
him. he says. You go find the Teller
that married her. he says, and make him
pay up. Because / amt gonna pay any
more on a coat that don't do me no good
no more he says.
The Washington times. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1902-1939, 1923-02-04


He went into the bedroom. He packed
her dress suit case. He tossed one dress
after another into her trunk, The bride
put on the fur coat and followed him into
the street.
"You may feel differently about this
some time, Billy, when am Dead" she
whispered, as the taxicab drew up to the
curb.
eff do I'll let you know" he answered
bitterly. "And tell Serretti that he can
finish paying for the fur coat"
He drove nail into the coffin of his
dead romance by visiting the credit COM
pany and telling the tale of the coat
Eve don't care whose wife she is"
said the harassed credit clerk. 'All we
want to know is who will pay for the
coat?''
"Serretti willp' roared the disappointed
bridegroom.
Since Mrs. Walsh went back to her
mothers home, where Serretti is a board
er, it may be that he will.
And William Walsh has retained an at
torney and brought suit. against his four
days bride for annulment of their mar
riage. He bases his charge upon the
tale told by the fur coat.
eff girl wins mans love on the pre-
tense that she is good girl and he learns
otherwise the marriage can be annulled
on the ground of fraud and false pre-
tense" says his attorney So, too, in
effect, says the law of New York State.
Il was contented young bachelor"
says wenty-three-year-old Mr.. Walsh,
land would have remained so if she had
let me alone. But now | know that she
began vamping me from the day she came
into the drug store where | am employed.
After | sold her a jar of cold cream she
slipped a note into my hand. I read,
What wonderful eyes you have! They
go right through me like volt of cleo
tricity.' That was silly, but she wrote me
more notes. She began them, My sweet
heart
"She noticed what time | went out to
dinner and she made a point of going
out at the same moment. Once | asked
her to dine with me. After that we dined
together several evenings a week. / in
vited her to go to my home to meet my
family. It may seem queer that never
went to her home. She made that seem
plausible. She always said her mother
was out, or would be asleep, and she did
not want to disturb her. It was Serreth
she didn't want to disturb.
'T'm bitter! Yes, bitter" said young
Mr. William Walsh,
The Washington times. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1902-1939, 1923-02-04

thought, at the least, an extraord-
mary remark:
"For her other teller says he
amt" said the bill collector.
"For her other Teller says he
ain'tr' gasped Mr.. Walsh; cher
other feller-other feller-" he
repeated, and then, as the full
implication in the sentence struck
him squarely, he cried out loudly,
"What other fellow"
"Why, the Teller that bought it
for her." said the visitor.
A cloud-a deep black cloud
seemed to Mr.. Walsh to pass rap
idly over and hide the honeymoon.
Why should another fellow have
bought fur coat for the girl who
was his bride. That was not the
kind of gift an unengaged girl
