Dear Martha Lee: I am % years old

band, who ran away with another woman

children. And II home IS all we have II

ground my husband walks on. He never
has a pleasant word for any Of us and is
always nagging and giving my children

you please advise me of some way ! can.

Ny furniture is my own, and / have no

Do you think could make enough 10

Even II 1 had only one or two rooms TO
myself we could be happy GOLDIE.
Certainly it would be better for
YOU to have a real home, even if it
were only one or two rooms, than
to let your children grow up in an
atmosphere such as you describe.
How you could support yourself
and the children depends upon your
talents. II you can sew, you might
be able to do that at home and es
tablish enough patronage to have a
comfortable home. If you must
work outside your home, there are
day nurseries where you could leave
your children while you are away.
UNHAPPY JUNE: Instead Of say

your husband June, try being so
agreeable he can have no reason for
being unpleasant. Don't nag him
about taking you out, or about those
gifts. Then you will pique his
curiosity. if nothing more, and chat
is a start
As for glfts-if the, woman no
longer sends him anything. let the
matter drop. She should not have
sent the things. bat you have no
reason to believe her other than
what your husband says she is-a
family friend, and YOU only make
him think more Of her by belittling
her.
Ignore your in-laws' thrusts, and
answer their letters with pleasant
ones. You may not succeed in wiz.

of trying to hurt you, if you refuse

During the regular course of months
buying and selling, merchants find some
items moving faster than others. This is
not necessarily because they represent
better values, but for some cause or COM

for some kinds of merchandise.
To meet this condition, many items in
all kinds of merchandise are priced for

America to Get Necklace
Of Pearls Worth Million

garded as odd. But in the last
twenty years such necklaces have
become fashionable to the extent of
what might be called a craze. And
as this necklace consists of l45 large
round and astonishingly rose-colored
pearls, s1,0oo,0oo may not be such
fancy price for it.
AS the necklace consists Of three
strands, it is in reality three necklaces
and may be sold to three different pur-
chasers, in which case there would no
longer be anything particularly remark,
able about it. But in its present state it
ranks with the four or five finest pearl
necklaces ever brought to this coun-
try.
1t was only a few months ago that
Prince Felix Youssoupoff, slayer Of the
Russian monk Rasputin, disposed Of his
famous necklace Of black pearls to Mrs.
Peter Goelet Gerry, wife of the Senator
from Rhode Island, for $500. 900. Judge
E. H Gary of the United States Steel
Corporation is said to have paid $780,
900 for a dve-strand pearl necklace for
Mrs. Gary more than dozen years ago,
to which he subsequently added a sixth
strand at a reported cost Of $100,0
There are a score of pearl necklaces
in New York worth anywhere from
| 500, 900 to $500, 900, and at least two or
| three that are worth even more than
the Thiers pearls. Consequently the
| fact that it will take a million to buy
| this necklace from the Louvre is not so
formidable as it appears at first glance.
Edward E. Stotesbury, the Philadel-
| phia f1nancier, paid more than half
million for pearl necklace for his wife
| Just before the World War-and half
a million in 1914 meant more than
million today, considering the depre-
citation in the purchasing power of the
| dollar.
It is probable that the Theirs neck
| lace will be bought by some one who
| is already the owner of beautiful pearls
For their matchless beauty can only
be appreciated by those who love pearls
and know something about them. Con-
seouently their possible purchasers are
pretty well known to the jewelers..
Mrs. o. H. P. Belmont, for instance,
is the owner Of a wonderful pearl neck
| lace which was once worn by Marie
| Antoinette. Mrs. Cornelius Vanderbilt.
the elder and Mrs. William K. Wander
bilt. jr., both have pearl necklaces
which cost fortunes in the days when
a quarter of a million was more than
a million today. Mrs. William A.
Clark, wife of the former Senator
from Montana, has one of the most
| valuable pearl necklaces in New
| York. And the collection of pearls
| owned by the late Mrs. George J.
Gould is still intact.
The Theirs necklace was not entirely
collected by Nine. Theirs. Nearly third
| of the 145 pearls was added by Mile
Dosne, Nine. Thiers' sister. to whom
| she left her fortune when she died in
! 1880.

for many years one of the
greatest treasures of the Louvre is
on its way to America to find
purchaser, this question is upper
most in the minds of the owners of
costly necklaces. For the rivalry
among pearl collectors transcends
the comprehension of the average
person.
The Theirs pearls were purchased
at public auction in Paris recently
by a well known jewelry firm of
New York. The price paid was
nearly 100000, and as jewelers. are
not in business for their health, to
say nothing of the 20 per cent duty
that will have to be paid to bring
the necklace into America, it is not
unlikely that their prospective pur-
chaser will have to part with a cool
million to get ossession-although
the temperature Of the money doesn't
make any difference.
Who in America is likely to spend
81, 100000 for a necklace?
1t must be admitted that there are
not many, even among our super
millionaires, who can afford to in
dulge themselves in such a luxury.
However, it must be remembered
that rare pearl necklace, such as
this Theirs assemblage, is often a
very profitable investment
When this necklace was be-
queathed to the Louvre in 1881 by
the widow Of the first President of
the French Republic, it was ap-
praised at less than $4,000. Even in
1905 it was priced at only 500, 900
Yet last month it sold for nearly
500, 900,
What are the reasons for this
enormous increase in pearl values?
According to DR.. George F. Kunz,
one of the great gem experts in the
world. the change in fashion in
jewels and the vast increase of
wealth in the last thirty years are
the principal reasons. In recent
years pearls have taken the highest
rank among jewels, because they
can be worn at all times, while
diamonds and colored stones can
only be worn at night. But more
important than this is the fact that
extended markets and the increased
wealth of the world have developed
tenfold the demand for pearls.
Gem experts are emphatic in
stating that the present high prices
are not due to the alleged fact that
fewer pearls are found today than
in former years.

Theirs was collecting the pearls for
her necklace few Europeans cared
greatly for pearls. In fact. her en-
