was to budget out the income, pay cash
for what we bought, and 60 without what
we could not pay for.
Even with ones own children it is not
always easy to conduct the affairs of
household without criticism; but the
wish for complete understanding led
me to talk with the children, who
ranged in ages from twelve to eighteen,
and to explain the condition of affairs and
our plans for improving them. Possibly
the novelty of being considered part of
the firm made them willing to listen, or
possibly the justice of our outlined meth
ods carried the day; but we were all
agreed that a new routine was essential,
even if not altogether agreeable. Half
the salary was to be mine for food, clothes,
and shelter for the family; the other half
my husband S for insurance, personal ex-
penses, fuel, and debts.
Heretofore the bread had been bought
ready made, and the family had lived
largely on canned goods. We now began
to purchase from downtown stores that

the whole family throve most wonderfully
upon it.
My husband worked evenings and extra
time before office hours in the morning.
He knew no holidays, and often went
without lunch to accomplish his almost
impossible part. But six years after our
marriages. long, hard, but wonderful
six years-he paid the last dollar, and we
were free to begin life without creditor
to face or dread.
With honor and liberty regained, he
had the confidence to ask for the salary
that his ability and experience merited,
but that, as harassed, debt-burdened
man, he had not been able to do before.
Now, years from those times, he is so
loyal as to say that all he has is due to me.

SO about this time visited my brother,

him my troubles, and he appreciated my

found us on our way to p, with lot

Within a month this man had verified
my predictions and involved the firm in
debt that took all that my husband
and had saved to pay.
When we were recovering from that
blow, the younger partner, aided and
abetted by the older one, but without the
consent of my husband, entered into a
scheme that finally wrecked the whole
business.
This elimination of the trouble came
about Chrstmas-time. Our Christmas
dinner consisted of dry bread and oat-
meal. But we turned a smiling face to
the world, even my own family not
knowing the depths of our poverty.
For the rest of that winter bread con-
tlnued to be our staple, but showed my
little children how to carve it into the
shape of the things they liked best, after
the fashion of the little Italian, John
Baptist. My whole idea was to brace my
husband up and keep him in good spirits.
| mortgaged the house, which, fortu-
nately, l owned, and with that money
my husband started over again. Now we
could not even afford to have the washing
done. So would wash the clothes myself,
and when my husband came home at noon
we would make merry over rinsing them,
he turning the wringer, which was too
hard for me, and feeding the clothes in.
Never once did l allow myself to fret
over our trouble; so my husband came
through that battle with no scars, but
with a great deal of experiences; while his
older partner, whose mournful wife never
helped him to laugh, succumbed to the
blow and died in few years.

Paris Newspapers Comment on Elec-

Paris. Nov. 9.-The American eIec-

interest, the news having the place of
honor in most morning papers. The
commentators, mindful of the dra-
matte surprise of yesterday when the
supposedly certain Hughes victory
was turned into a possible defeat. are
reluctant to commit themselves.
The majority of the comment is SIM

date will have little effect on Ameri-

interesting France are concerned.

that many things may happen between
