CANDY IS Higher NOW;

Americas housekeepers do not have
to ask the grocer now to send home
the dollar package of sugar she buys.
She merely drops the little sack of
saccharine matter in her purse, or
wraps it in her handkerchief and takes
it home herself. For a dollar buys
about half the quantity now that was
sold a while back for that amount.
Even the children are feeling the pinch
of high-priced sugar. Where the kid
customer of a candy shop has been

candy for his nickel, now he viii

French MAIDENS
ARE REBELLING
Following the Footsteps OF the
American Girl

Paris, Sept. 15.-There has been a
good deal of argument in France lately
about the modern French girl and her
tendency to leave the footsteps of her
mother and grandmothers for those OF
the free American girl, who does not
look upon life as a gift to be spent in
learning how to govern her household
and to make it speak of her own indi-
vidual influence.
She leaves those things to the SER
wants she employs and pays so well.
But this is not the idea of the mid
dle-aged Frenchwoman at all. She be-
lieves that if you have a house, hus-
band and a family it is your duty "a
look after them. and she considers that
they should come first in everything.
Sometimes she carries her ideas OF
duty to excess, and that is probably
why the modern French girl has re.
belled and is demanding greater free.
dem and less home duty She frankly
says she dislikes wasting her time il
paying family calls, in ordering family
dinners, in yielding to family preju
dices, and she quotes the liberty whicl
is accorded to American girls as
proof of what may be done.
A great many mothers and fathers
have given way in some points, so al
to maintain their sway in others, ant

What is meant by that word home?
If. out of your overpowering knowl-
edge of men and women, and your varied
experiences, you had the assurance to
compile a dictionary, how would you de-
fine that simple little word home?
Isn't it place you never had, but
which you are always hoping to have
some day?
A man will contend that it is the place
where one has the right to be, meaning
that it is the place where a man can enter
and depart without Quibble or question,
where he can do as he pleases, throw
his hat and papers on the floor, grumble
at his meals, throw his collar and coat on
the bed, look in the ice box If he wants
and roar because its contents don't please
him. 1t is the place, in brief. where he
is proprietor, and a home where he isn't
is not the home of his dreams.
If his definition is correct, then the
majority of men and women are homeless,
for few. having paid the price. find the
rights that go with 1t. If a man roars
and grumbles and is disOrderly because
he is at home, then the woman who is
patient and picks up after him and tries
in vain to please him is homeless, for
that is not the home of her dreams.
Home, the sentimental man Will say,
'is any place to a man so the woman he
loves is there" Pretty and pleasing to
sentimental women, but not true, for no
man ever felt at home living with his
wife's folks though the woman he loves
is there with him.
