THE DIRECTORY

AND CHRONICLE

(BY LUCIEN ALTEUR JONES.] Are you tired of the burden of colossal taxation, of paying one and fourpence for a tenpenny loaf, of a grandmotherly Government graciously permitting you to drink watery whisky-at-certain--ixed hours! You are! Emigrate to Eastern FOR Europe and live like a prince at pre-war

raten.

The latest exchange rates make the English pound worth 2,400 Polish marks: (nominally £120). In Vienna a sovereign purchases 1,700-Austrian crowns (nomi- nally £75); in Budapest, 1,500 Hungarian crowns (nominally £80) purchase twenty ahillings. Prices on the whole have not increased in anything like the same pro- portion as the rate of exchange has fallen. The inhabitants of these war-stricken States are too poor to afford more than a certain increase. The result is that an Englishman, American, or Swiss can live in the most extravagant manner, on an absurdly small income.

Such a sum would be out of reach of the average Englishman, but for the Frenchman would represent merely ten francs.

RESTORED AT THE ALTAR, ROMANTIC STORY OF A STOLEN NECKLACE

A curious story of a stolen pearl neck lace restored to its owner under romantic For eircumstances comes from Venice. some time a lady belonging to a noble Venetian family has been living in one. of the principal hotels of the town. Be cently, a magnificent necklace of Oriental. pearls disappeared from the lady's jewel- case. Though the thief could have taken away many other precious jewels as well, and a sute of loose money, nothing was touched save the pearl necklace. The police set inquiries on foot, a reward was offered, but nothing caine to light

Then a registered letter arrived at the hotel addressed to the counters. The letter was sealed with an heraldic device, and contained an invitation for the ld countess to come at a certain hour to the altar of the famous Nicopoja Madonna in the Cathedral of St. Mark. The letter stated that if the counten failed to come alone no more would be heard of the necklace.

The next day she went to St. Mark's, and knelt down by the altar named After a while the felt herself tonched on the shoulder, and, looking round, w a man in a fur coat, with gold-rimmed glasses and yellow gloves The unknown. whispered some words into her ear, Bay- ing that he was in possession of the nock- lace and that she could have it back if ehe would awoar before the Madonna not to reveal the name of the person beside her, nor bring any action. The counteen nodded her head, and repeated the oth after the mysterious stranger, who then drew from his pocket the necklace and KAYO it her. Kissing the old lady's hand, he left the church without saying a word
