HOUSEWIVES DAILY
ECONOMY CALENDAR
WHO FEELS 1T MOST?
BY FRANCES MARSHALL.

OF course you are making your plants
heard against the rising prices of foods,
but do you really feel TT Have you
had to exercise any more clever economy
to set a satisfactory table? Have you
had to think of ways and means to sub
stitute cheaper foods for more expensive
ones? Has their been less waste in the
preparation OF foods in your kitchen?
Have you or your family actually felt the
pinch of IT, by going hungry away from
the table?
You know q good many persons COM
plain Just because II is the fashion to
do so, whether or not they have any ac-
tual reason for 1t. According to the
walls we hear we might think that
every one of our neighbors was actually
suffering as a result Of the increased
price on food commodities. If we could
but get an accurate account of their
financial condition, their expenses and
their consumption of food. we would
probably find that not one housewife
in fifty has made any appreciable change
in her habits as a result.
In England and in other countries
where the war is a grim reality the ma
jority of the population really has made
great changes in diet. Some Of these
changes are for the better. no doubt, but

being taught to chew each mouthful with
unwonted diligence because one slice
of bread will do the work of two II well
masticated we see that things have come
to a serious pass. But even in Eng
land it is not every class of housewife
who feels the necessity of practicing rigid
economy. As a recent issue of an Eng

A FAMOUS ACTRESS TOLD ME.
In n part L.
Newsp

We were all seated around a tea table
discussing the joy of Billie Burke with
her new little baby girl. 1t inspired one
of the actresses to tell the secret tragedy
of her life.
II was only eighteen at the time / was
married to my husband who was. even
at the age of twenty-four, recognized
as one of the foremost comedians in
America. He had come from an old
family of celebrated actors and actresses
and had dreamed, like his mother and
father, of perpetuating their artistic race.
In fact, with that idea in his mind. he
had insisted that leave the stage And
to make me contented he built me a
beautiful home on the Hudson.
MY mother and l had always been
very close to each other, so she was a
" elcome visitor. In fact, he did every
thing and gave me everything to in
sure my happiness.
Two years passed and It was an end
less honeymoon with but one shade hang
ing over our merry little home-there
were no children and l was restless to
return to the stage. The following sea-
son l secured an engagement and signed
contract without my husbands know
ing anything about it. When I told him,
he was dumfounded and heartbroken.
~ did not marry an actress but a 1T
tie wife, he chided me; 1t Is the most
serious disappointment Of my hfe.'
II was piqued at this and angry with
him. feeling it was selfishness on his part
to want me to stay homo and raise a
family instead of enjoying a career be-
fore the footlights.
IF you are determined to return to
the stage and there was grave disap-
pointment in my mothers voice. you
should have had your little family tc
live and to build for.
Il was furious at this.

arms felt a pang of conscience. But II
would only last for moment-it was
submerged by my jealousy and annoy

There were two or three little children
in his company. and after my scenes were
over-for l did not have to appear in the
third act-I would wait in his dressing
room for him. Leaving the stage. the
children would cling to him until he had
disgorged his pockets of candy or little
toys which were always hidden there.

LAUDS PROMPT PAYMENT
OF R. R. FREIGHT CLAIMS

Whers the claims of shippers against
railroads are well founded they are paid
promptly, declared Commissioner James
s. Harlan, Of the Interstate Commerce
Commission, to the members of the
Freight Claim Association in an address
in which he told OF an investigation made
by the Commission and the surprise Of
Its members at the excellent showing as
to prompt payments made by the rail-
roads.
L wish to congratulate the association
on the showing made" he said. THE
trouble with US was that we had made
no distinction between claims that had
been declined or that were without merit
and therefore still pending and claims
that were well founded and had been
promptly ajusted. The shipping public
should know that instead of being a
weak spot in the railroad service, the
work Of your association has been so
systematized as practically to eliminate
all reasonable and fair criticism"

pulp WOOD FIGURES
Will BE COLLECTED
Lumber Census to Show Amount. of
Wood Available for Industry.

Figures showing the amount of wood
used in the United States for making
pulp will. 1t is announced. be obtained
by the Forest Service in connection with
its 1916 census OF the lumber industry.
Because OF the increasing scarcity Of the
pulp wood in some parts Of the country,
the need for accurate figures showing the
consumption Of this class of material
is realized by manufacturers and for
esters alike, and II is expected that such
figures will be made a part of the yearly
statistical work OF the Forest Service.
The pulp manufacturers will cooperate
in the work. through their trade organ
ization, the Newsprint Manufacturers
Association.
Detailed information in regard to the
amount and cost of different kinds OF
pulp wood consumed in the different
States is to be collected. Comparative
figures showing the total pulp wood con-
sumption of the country for 1893. 1903. 1914
and 1916 are to be compiled. a
The data TO be obtained, will, II is
stated, be OF considerable value to pulp
manufacturers. as well as to the Forest
Service. Owing to the comparatively
small number OF pulp mills In the United
States. 1t is thought It will be possible
to issue a report on the work at an early
date.

unskilled workers are receiving enormous
wages in many towns and cities. and the
wives of these men are, for the first time
in their lives, experiencing the rather

The Woman sat in the November twi-
light with the Light OF expectancy on her
face. Children chung to her frock, chat
tered at her knee. but II was obvious
that her thought was not upon them,
for she gave but half answers to their
eager questions. And when the shadow
OF night had quite fallen she heard at
last the step of The Man.
Conscious Of her changed appearance
In his long months of absence she drew
shawl about her as the children rushed
pellmell to meet their father, a splendid
sturdy chap Of some thirty-eight sum-
mers. They brought laughter that had
long been dead back to his lips, but
when he had swept them aside and gath
cred his wife into his arms 1t went out
swiftly.-the way that most smiles go
these days across the sea-
why didn't you tell me, dear heart
OF mine?' he questioned in sudden re-
proach.
Whereupon The Woman with the fem
inine instinct to shield The Man she
loves. made shy excuse. and went away
quietly to put their children to bed.
In the sanctity of his home The Man
sat grave and still beside his hearth
stone. In order to preserve his country's
export trade he had been exempt from

business in one Of her dominions The

ion.
IF" answered the companion, the
women and the babies might be exter-
minated with US 1t would not so much
matter"
Whereupon the Man was more silent
than ever.
He sat or paced the deck of the big
liner. always with a single thought: the
home in England which he had left. the
one to which he was returning. The
woman whom he had taken to have and
to hold: for whom he had vowed before
the God who gave her to protect the
children for whom he was responsible.
