MATRl-MONEY ZOE sfcx1z, e

However 1t was better fun to earn the
rest than to extract it by tears or
caJolemens from hdr hard working
mate. Edith Ferrol was happier than
she had been in all the ten years Of
her marriage.
Then one day entering the inn
kitchen to start her mornings work.
she found the proprietor, Cleary, with
ruifled hair and worried eyes, poking
about in cupboards and pantrles, not

chefs.

ROWING UPSTREAM.

For some weeks following the
house warming at Arcadia Inn Edith
Ferrol's cup of contentment seemed
full Her baking and preserving
hummed along with pleasantness and
profit And John. while never quite
reconclcd to his wife's mOney-earn-
ing efforts. seemed better TO realize
her need and made fewer protests,
Ferrol himself was sorely pressed in
money matters. With the coming of
war, there seemed to be general re-
trenchment People felt their first
duty was to stop waste. They cut
down expenses; lived more simply
cultivated little food crops where they
had formerly planted flower gardens;
ordered fewer luxurios for their
households.
Among these luxuries, unfortunately
Tor Ferrol, was books. rs salesman

began to fall off He found himself
almost entirely dependent upon his
salary He was indeed 50 occupied
with his financial problems that he
spent no time upon Edith's.
Scarcely a week passed that Edilh's
earnings at the inn were not cut into
for household expenses Try as she
would by the study Of food values,
by careful elimination of waste in her
own kitchen and by making her
children's clothes and many of her

made bit of change But there $
nothing doing now in profits"
Edith saw Cleary was trying to
break to her gently the news that
their partnership must end She
knew he was telling the truth as to
prices She had access to his books.
and if she chose could verify every
detail as to income, outgo and mutual
profit. She appreciated Cleary's po-
sition and with leaden heart aud
dropped spirits She appreciated her
own. With grim smile she told her
self things chad been too good to
last, Aloud she replied to the pro-
prietor of Arcadia Inn;
"Mr Cleary ! understand exactly
and I'm going to chuck my job, as
the boys say. have learned vast
deal in your kitchens And I've made

household for a while-till things get
down to normal again, at least. and
try to work out some other way TO

habit now, I'm afraid" she fin
ished with a wry little smile, "and if
have any resourcefulness at all
should be able to turn my talents into
some other channel"
Cleary looked both relieved and
chagrined
You'll get on Mrs Ferrol, what
ever you do with your ability,
ma'am. and, if you'll pardon my being
personal. with your sweet face aud
sweet ways Personality, ! think the
high -brows call it, It's the good
