When David Morton first mot her, he thought that he had found the fair est and cleverest of women. After a month's acquaintance he was of the same opinion. Josephine Le Mur was as sweet tempered as charming. David congratulated himself that, owing to Mrs. Davenport's influence, he was permitted the boon of Josephine's friendship. Mrs. Davenport chose to bestow upon the gifted Miss Le Mar her social fa vor. It was she. In her pretentious home, who broucht her two favorite young people together. To her hus band alone, she udmitted matcji-mak-lng Intent. Her Interested efforts heretofore, where Josephine was con cerned, had met with discouragement. "Dear Mrs. Davenport," Josephine had amusedly remarked, "my time Is devoted to my work. Men outside of that sphere do not claim my attention." To which Malda Davenport replied : "Do you, then, Intend to devote your life to drawing twisted letters for ad vertising purposes?" "I hope," Josephine firmly respond ed, "to do more than that. Bigger things covers for magazines, which will be admired throughout the coun try. The twisted letters are but step ping stones to my achievement.'' And so determined was the girl In this purpose that Mrs. Davenport for a time despaired. Then, along came David. That Josephine was Interested In David there was no doubt. The elder woman, fearing to awaken the girl to this growing Interest, ap peared not to notice the happy conver sations between the two. Josephine kept solitary house In a tiny apartment, which even In Its hum bleness was, as Mrs. Davenport said, "as charming as the girl's own personality." David grew to look forward with ever Increasing pleasure to evenings spent In Josephine's cozy sitting room, with Its golden shaded lights. Mrs. Daven port would often be there, playing soft ly on .Tote's piano. Her friends called her this, after Jole had haltingly told them of her life before coming to the city. "I came," she said, "after father died. There was no opportunity be fore. I wanted to study art, and earn my living. Isabel, my youngest sis ter, had never been strong, but now she Is happy In grandmother's care. At home I was called .Tole." David was an Inspiration to her, frankly she told him so. He liked to think out for her, helpful suggestions. Then, Into this mutual confidence came, a disturbing element. Just as David was rejoicing In the sweet sunnlnes of Josephine's disposition, she met him one evening, coldly, Indifferently. In vain he tried to dispel the constraint, leaving perplexedly. Upon his next visit Josephine appeared distrait; ll was Impossible to arouse her interest. When David Impatiently remarked thai he would no longer bore her with hit presence, Josephine arose Immediately relieved, It seemed, to bid him good night. Nevertheless, David's love Insisted upon the telling, and he went one eve ning to make declaration. He entered Josephine's sitting room through a door left open to the spring air, and found the girl shaken by silent sob bing. Like a desolate child, she lay curled on the couch, her face burled In Its pillows. "Jole," cried David tenderly, "Jole, dear." "I wish," same a curt voice from the pillows, "you would go away." Dald went, vowing not to return, but love Is stronger than strong man's will. David told himself It would be the right tiling to Inquire for Jole, and If all was well with her he would try to for get. He must first know that she had no need. A strango young woman opened the door of Jole's apartment yet not a stranger, surely, with Jole's blue eyes and her soft voice. "My sister is not in," said the wraith of Jole. "I am Isabel." She led the way to the sitting room, and David saw that she leaned on a cane. "Joio does not know that I am here," she went on. "Grnndma said we would surprise her. We came In to see the great surgeon. Jole will be so re joiced when she hears our good news. Of course we have heard of you from my sister, Mr. Mortimer. Perhaps you would like to know the good news, too." "I am sure that I would," answered David wonderlngly. "The surgeon assures us that my hip mny be cured by an operation. I think that I am mure glad for Jole's sake than my own. She has grieved all her life, because when she was much too young to have the care of an or phaned baby sister I fell from her arms down a stair. Since she came to the city she has slaved to give me the benefit of expert medical advice. A few weeks ago when a mlstukcn phy sician told Jole that I could not be helped she almost gave up altogether. She had been so happy In the promise of her art; but she wrote me then that she Intended to devote her life to me. Darling, foolish Jole. So, you see what the good new will mean to her. Jole Is wonderful, greater than genius. Oh, jou cannot know." "I love her," David said. "Do jou think could there be a possible chance for ineV Isabel smiled. "There will be now," he said. 6u, humbly, remorsefully, Davit waited with the little sister. IMPORT BEADS BY BILLIONS Demand for Those Ornaments by the Women of the United Stataa Seems Insatiable. Ballots and beads must belong to gether In the mind of the modern wom an. At any rate, ten strings of beads are worn today when one was worn before the war and before the vote. Beads by the billions are betns im ported. This year's record promises to run far ahead of last year's, and last year's record was worth a glance. To make any comment upon the ad vanced and emancipated woman's In terest In the ornament that is usually set down as a South sea savage's no tion of an all-but-complete costume is quite unnecessary. The figures speak for themselves. From central Europe, from France, from the shores of the entire Mediter ranean, from all Judea, from the three great countries of the Far East, the making of beads for the United States U a big business, declares a New York Sun writer. Not satisfied with the quantity' that can be turned out with everybody wording' at the Job of dec orating the dresses and the hats and tho shoes of millions of American wom en, the demand for something differ ent has made the best dealers set the very South sea savage to scraping up the seashells from the shores of lonely isles that are all but lost on any average map. To the national bill for tire ma terials could be added the cost of all Imported cigarettes and then the total would be $35,000,000 short of meeting the total outlay for feminine orna ments. In spite of tho Increase In the amount of coffee Imported, the cup that cheers America at breakfast time costs far less than the beads that women wear. About $00,000,000 less. The comedy continues throughout the whole list of life's lesser luxuries. WOMEN IN VARIOUS TRADES Fair 8ox Has Traveled Far From What Was Considered Proper In the Victorian Era. There are today In Now York state 780 women In the building trades In cluding women carpenters, electricians, house painters, glaziers, paper hang ers, plasterers, plumbers, and eves tone cutters. There are also women working as common laborers for the railroads. We have had factory workers, to be sure, for long years, but in the past they have been, chiefly employed as peml-skllled operators in clothing, tex tile and similar industries. Today, New York state boasts 2,010 In lum ber and furniture work; 0,802 doing semi-skilled tasks in steel and Iron and 3,217 working among the other metals ; while 1,107 work In clay, stone or glass. The combined list of mill workers and skilled operators runs considerably more than 800,000 for the state. Such tasks are not so anti-Victorian as quarrying, mining, stevedoring, of course, In which women are also en gaged, but they are still a far cry from the kitchen stove, the parlor dust cloth and the nursery.
