The Tangle
MOTION PICTURE ACTRESS
BUYS HALF A MILLION DOL

M I'LL O1Ab AAA<oD
BUYS HALF A MILLION DOL
LARS WORTH OF PEARLS
It seems that Mrs. Prescott will
also sell her entire collection Of
pearls, half Of which were purchased
by her brother-in-law, Mr.. Whitney,
and presented to the Orthopedic
Hospital to be sold for charity. The
news Of this was told in this paper
yesterday.
1t is now whispered that the
other half of Mrs. Prescott's col
lection, which is finer, If possible,
has been sold to the motion picture
actress who has recently been in
this city. The deal is said to have
been contaminated last evening by
representatives of Miss Perier and
Mr.. Karl Whitney who had been
given a power Of attorney by Mrs.
Prescott, Mr.. Prescott, who, being
confined to his house and knowing
that Mr.. Whitney was a better
Judge Of pearls than he. insisted that
he should transact the business.
While Miss Perier's ostensible
reason for her recent stay in Pitts
burgh was to make some sequences
at the Hamilton Steel Mills for her
new picture, Hot Steel" 1t really
looks as though she caLle 'purposely
to buy the jewels.
Finding Mrs. Prescott out of town
and Mr.. Prescott confined to his bed
with a slight illness, the actress de-
parted for New York, and win re-
main there until Mr.. Prescott is able
to return to the plant, where the
pictures will be taken and sent her
representatives here to buy the
pearls.
Miss Perier will be in the city
during the time that the bazaar is
open and it is hoped by those in
charge that she will make a personal
appearance there at least for one
afternoon and evening.
Letter from Mrs. Mary Alden Pres
colt to John Alden Prescott
Ny dear son,
You will probably be surprised to
know that, after much thought and
elaboration, I have decided to marry
Mr.. Orson Gibson who, for a long
time, has been pleading with ms to
be his wife.
I want you, dear John, to under
stand that 1 would not under any
circumstances leave you and Leslie
II you both had not made me realize
that / can be OF no particular use
to you.
You will remember that / met Mr..
Gibson at Atlantic City. We were
mutually attracted to each other and
even before 1 had left, he proposed
marriage to me, but it seemed to me
that we had not known each other
long enough to take such an impor;
tant step.

GREEK REFUGEE
INDUSTRIES PROSPER

GENEVA, Swift, Oct. 27.-The
growth of several important indus
tries in Greece, notably rug-mak-
ing, silk culture and tobacco farm
ing are attributed to the influx of
refugee workmen from Turkey, in a
report presented to the League of
Nations by H. C. Jaquith, director of
of the Near East Relief in Athens.
The report stresses the large part
which American philanthropy has
had in encouraging the development
of refugee industrial activities, and
predicts a great expansion in Greek
trade along the lines where refugee
workmen have proved most useful.
Within few years the productive
activities of the refugee population
in Greece will mean an economic in
crease IN the nations trade Of g
