 Perhaps he has a good reason, meaning right. Or he may be ill, or going away. Patience will reward, by receiving letter, explaining some day. He is not the only one you may meet.

LAURA JEAN IBBYs DAILY TALKS ON HEART TOPICS

the lesson of preparedness to heart' it's the girl who is all anxiety to know before hand when company Is coming. This is the girl who must do her share of the .housework; who, Is poor. but strives her best to make good showing. She would rather go out and have a good time in the afternoon in- stead of house cleaning. Sitting on some other girls doorstep, or going to the movies won't get the work done. but she does not give a thought to that until she receives a note from a nice young man, stating that he would be pleased to call on such and such an evening, and will present himself punctually at her home unless, in the interim, he has word from her to cause him to change his plans.
 From that hour on. such scurrying as there is in that household. Young men are keen sighted; it would never do to have dust on the panels of the dor. or on the picture frames. There's the worn carpet to take up and turn about, the seat of the old sofa to jack up when it sags, a hole in the curtain to darn, the chairs to dust and the lamp wick to be trimmed and put in shape to be lighted. Then there's the only evening dress she owns. The last time she wore 1t was at a. molasses candy pull. The front breadth bore evidence to that in a long stain. to say nothing of a huge rent at the bottom of the skirt. She had walked homo in la light rain, causing her white slippers to become mud-spattered. Mother was too busy to even lend a hand. All the tasks rested on the shoulders of the xrxI10 nv-s,H uovp mother made no attempt to conceal she had urged her so often to do nt- tie at a time, to keep the best room and her own clothes in order, fearing just such a contretempts. Of course 1t was gigantic undertaking, rush. ing through a two weeks task in that many days, even with poor old moth- er's aid and pressing tired old father into the service to battle with the talk ing up, turning, and relaying of the carpet, and putting iron braces on the shaking chairs.
 The dress required remaking almost. Between puckering and ripping out. twisting and turning, sewing so far into the night, she lost her beauty sleep and her good nature into the bargain, To be sure tho young man arrived promptly, but he was puzzled beyond words as to what could pos sibly have happened to change an un- usually pretty girl into a positive fright in two days time. sne was too tired to. make. herself really interest ing or companionable. Therefore the young man cut his call as short as possible. He had found that hour so irksome, he shirked calling again. The lesson on the trials of being unpre- pared struck homo to the girl, who would have never learned it so com pletely under any other circumstances. Every home should be in such apple pie order that company could drop in unexpectedly at any time without ere ating discomfort, confusion. fuss or furry.

 Be sure you have not vanity, which over-rates self. Man cannot be inter- ested for long only in pretty face. Looking for a companion they tire of this kind In a strange town, there are plenty of idle youths whose forte seems to be staring. Conscious that you are pretty. they feel privileged to stare.

FAIRFIELD COUNTY NECLECTINC
 ITS OPPORTUNITIES, REPORTS
 EXPERT BENJAMIN M. RASTALL
CHINESE GO BROKE
 WITH SUDDEN FALL IN ANTIMONY PRICE.
Changsha's Career As An El Dorado Cut Short By
 Market Readjustment.

Hanlsow, China, Aug. 5.-Antimony prices have collapsed and scores of Chinese who were millionaires on pa per few months ago. are now com putting their liabilities.
 The demand for antimony was so keen early in the war and the supply was so limited that prices soared- Many new mines were opened and reduction plants were built. Human province is the greatest antimony pro- ducins center through which most of the ore is handled That city became a regular Ell Dorado. Fortunes were made over night, and for a time there seemed to be no limit to the prices which producers could command from firms that required the metal to hard en shell cases for the various armies
 At one time antimony in crude smelted form commanded over $500 gold per ton Speculators predicted the ore would bring $1,b00 a ton, and acted on that prediction.
 But the metal trade suddenly read '1usted. The output of antimony, (which is used only in very limited quas titles by ammunition makers, ex- ceeded the supply. Ore which at one time sold in New York at 50 cents gold pound has dropped to 15 cents gold pound, and the wind has gone out of the sails of the Changsha boost CTS.
 N Many of the antimony producers now have ore on the way from Chang Eeha to New York, which is mortgaged to banlxers for more than the present market price of the metal.
 Within The past few weeks anti- mony producers in the Changsha dis 'trict have organized an associat tion for the purpose of steadying the market by limiting the output. They predict that they will be able to restore prices to their highest level within a short time. but as yet have produced no ap- Drecfable effect on the market.
