Nov. 27.?There is a young man oil Washington Square who has had a big place in his heart for a certain girl, and often he day-dreamed, always playing the romantic lead. And then the other day he drew tip to her home in a purring limousine. She greeted him radiantly and they sped over the hills and far away from the city into the distant mountains. They talked and speculated on the distant future for hours and It was dark when they glided, on high, clown Fifth avenue. The girl snuggled close to him and It was a sweet and religious silence. It was the silence that comes before the most momentous moment In life; He was just about to whisper the all important question when a low, uncultured voice smote his ear and punctured his vevery.

They were given the key to the city by the mayor and wherever they went they were warmly welcomed. "I have been meeting you gentlemen at $3 a day and up for years," said Mr. MUchcl, "and I want to feel at home in New York." The out of town visitors were very much impressed with the way all of the New York hotels have made dancing a part of hotel service. Many of them said they were going right back home and put in a' dancing floor. Speeches of welcome were also made by John Mck. Bowman, George Ttoldt. Copeland Townsend and the famous Oscar. It. is a rough life for the insurance agent these days. The American companies have grown more and more strict in their examinations. So many folk are being rejected that a group of New Yorkers are planning a company for Unsafe Risks. It is said it will provide a way to corner the chronic insurance dodgers. The chronic insurance dodger will find It useless to plead that his grand father died of rickets in his infancy and that he has a lesion of the heart and an uncontrollable tendency to walk orv railroad tracks. "Just the man," the insurance agent will coo. "Please sign on the dotted lines." The men who arc urging the company for Unsare Risks declare that many of the men declared unfit outlive those declared by doctors to be safe risks. In other words they want to take a chance and gamble against the doctor's prognostications. / In a famed Bean Palace on Broadway where the waiters deal 'cm oil the arm. an absent minded gentleman from out of town wandered the other afternoon.

"I've had nothing to oat. 1 just wandered in here. I don't know what made me. 1 guess I'm just absent minded." "Absent minded, eh?" sneered the cashier. Then he sent an employee out after a cop. The cop came, heard the man's story and when the manager of the place and the cashier got obstroporous he; arrested them both for disorderly conduct. "It is funny." said the out or town man afterward, "how much can happen In New York by merely walking in the wrong door."

(CorrriKpondence of Associated Prcas) ROME, Italy, Nov. 27.?James Francis Case, a civil engineer representing the American International Corporation In Italy ancl Spain, has just completed his first inspection of business possibilities in Italy. One general conclusion he has'drawn is that 4. _ * _ - - - * -* - - - ? - - " * - i American nrms snouin ao ail possime to lower the present high rates or exchange with the conclusion of the war. Said Mr. Case to a correspondent of the Associated Press: "It has been widely stated that American business in Europe will suffer after the war from the high value of the dollar, as compared to other money, forcing these nations to buy from each other or go without what they need. For instance, let us consider a pair of American shoes worth four dollars of outs : money. Before the war four dollars were worth just over twenty lire, whereas now these four dollars are worth twenty-six lire. For all thai the lire has still the same buying power in Italy, or in Russia, and even more in Austria or Germany, where the mark has depreciated. Naturally, if an Italian can buy a pair of shoes in another country where his lire has a better value than in the United States, he is going to do so. "The solution of this exchange problem is inducing these countries to send us their goods to increase their trading with us. The reason the exchange is now high is not so much that Europe's credit is bad with us, that wo have no faith in its future prosperity; it is because we are not receiving as much ; goods from it as before the war. "I have no. fear, however, that Ainer- ! scan business will be seriously handicapped In Europe by our higher exchange. Take Russia. Its ruble has lost a third of its value merely because it cannot get its wheal and other products to market. So soon as the war is over, these goods will go to market and its ruble will go to its old place.' Regarding Italy's business future, Mr. Case said: ''Italy docs not enjoy the credit It should. It is a wealthy country and my; principal reason foi making this statement is that any country is bound to be wealthy which has an honest, thrifty, hard-working population such as it is blessed with. We Americans do not appreciate the I fact that it is in reality a young country, tliat it has not been united for more than thirty years though the date of its union runs back to 1S70. "At present I do not find much in- r clinatlon to consider new business m Italy, because every mind is still pre- { occupied by the war. But so soon as it is out of the way, Italy will become " a fine field for Americans, not only for detail business but for big public im- rr proveruents, like the electrification of i railroads to eliminate expensive coai ? bills, and the establishment of more x electric power plants for factories. "The American should find a ready " Min?>hal Vinvn ?-> n /I hn Wfitl l?n f* iuaj avi uci v auu uc n vu itvw? tu uv 1 cause as a rule the Italians knox j much more about our country and iu | products than we do about Italy." loWTOGAlfT FLEH Remarkable Statement of a Woman Who Was Nothing but Skin and Bones.
