What Madee Found by Accident.

What Madge Found by Accident. Which room should give the guest whom Dicky had telephoned he was bringing from the city with him to dine and spend the night This was the question which perplexed me as I mounted the stairs to the second
 floor after concluding the arrange
 ments for the dinner with Katie.
 The room of my mother-in-law- who was in the South with her daugh- ter and grandchild-was of course in readiness. It would only need 8 little dusting, fresh linen and a vase of flowers. But I had not heard from Dicky's mother, for nearly q week and she had had plenty of time since the date of her epistle to start for and be almost home.
 She was given to little surprises like that, and had a very vivid recollecr ton of the last time she surprised us, when Harry Underwood, whom she detested. was occupying her room. It had taken most adroit work upon the part of all four of us, Harry, Lillian, D1cky and me. to get his belongings out of the room and keep her from suspecting that it had becn profaned by his presence. would not risk the 4e
 or the two possible rooms remain sing-mine and Dicky's-that of my husband was infinitely the more de- sirable. It was the largest room on the second floor. with windows at the front overlooking the lawn. while the side windows give a wonderful view of rolling woodland. Dicky had fitted it up with artistic taste as a studio sitting room. his simple bedroom flx- tures being hidden behind a wonder full Chinese screen reaching almost from the ceiling to the floor. dec cided to remove Dicky's toilet things and clothing to my room for the night and to put the room in order for the expected guest.
 Some Hasty Preparations.
 I drew a long. dismayed breath as I stepped into the room. for Dicky's no reason for surprise. D1cky has no bump of order at all, and almost every morning have to pick up his things and put them away before Katie does the morning chamber work. When Dcky's mother is with us, she always relieves me of the duty. early found out that she not only enjoyed caring for her sons belongings. but resented the intrusion of any one else. even his wife-I had almost written espec- tally his wife-into the sanctuary.
 But there was now no mother-in-law to tidy the room, so set about the task systematically. Dicky has 2 habit of leaving his letters and papers wherever he happens to drop them.

ters with the names of various maga- zines on them. It was evidently Dicky's junk drawer.
 I gathered the heterogeneous col lection together, and dropped them as if something had stung me.
 A kodok picture stared up at me with Dicky standing in 8 mock heroic attitude against g studio background. while two remarkably pretty girls knelt in front of him with uplifted faces which wore expressions evident ly intended to be reverential, but through which laughter struggled.

REVELATIONS OF A WIFE

and then he is most indignant if in the picking up process anything hap pens to be disturbed. I solved the problem in the early days of our mar ried life by procuring large paste- board box in which each day put every loose paper I find in his room. Then when Dicl<y is especially good natured induce him to sort the con tents of the box. put the things he wishes to preserve away. and make a fresh start.

From my earliest childhood had absorbed the idea from my mother that guests, even for over night. should have bureau drawers vacated for their use, plenty of vacant hooks in the closet, late magazines and books. together with writing materials upon the table and fresh flowers to welcome them. So gathered up the loose. papers and put them in the box, afterward carrying 1t to . closet In the hall until the guost should be gone, cleared several hooks in Dicky's. closet. re- moving the clothing I took away to my own room, and started to open a drawer of Dickys chiffonier that I might make 1t ready for the use of the guest, even though knew that in all probability man coming for but one night would make no use of 1t.

HARD TIMES IN AusTRIA-sUF-
FERiNc INTENSE


An escaped Italian prisoner speak.
ing of conditions in Austria says:
1.-The civil population of Austria
now is getting weekly ration OF one
pound of bread They are supposed to
make up the deficit by means of pota'
toes. which cost so cents pound
Dried beans formerly used in making
soups, are now 81 pound Corn flour
has scared to So kilo, which is some
what over two pounds. For million
aires and invalids, WIG can afford
to make the sacrifice, a few Wen
nese bakers are still selling the fam
GUS long rolls, weighing two pounds
and made from white flour from Hun
gary at 81 each. A few happy store
keepers still have some white -four
bought in Hungary at the beginning
of the war but this now costs So per
pound. Coffee is as rare as diamonds
He who happens to have any can
easily sell it to the rich at $50 a
pound.
"A poor woman in Triest boarded
twenty pounds of coffee. A rich woman
journeyed twelve hours to Triest and
bought it all for $500. Triest has fix
ed maximum prices for meat but there
is no meat to be had. Tickets provide
on paper, each grown citizen shall
have two pounds of meat a month
but citizens get no meat for the
tickets
Austrian people are returning to
the old custom of exchange and bar
ter. The woman who has a pound OF
white flour and wants few fresh eggs
will scour the country to make the ex-
change.
"a mans ready made suit of shod-
dy costs 800 to $3.50 even in the
small cities where labor is cheap.
Boots and shoes cost from $50 to $50
pair, although they are made of
substitutes for leather.
"And despite all this not one of the
escaped prisoners. exchanged officers
or refugees, with which the cores
pondent has talked during the last
two weeks sees any prospect of a
revolution in Austria.
mo, they will never rebel, they are
too well disciplined" is the one re-
ply from all who lately have been
living in various parts of Austria
Hungary. The men interviewed have
been far distant from each other and
in vastly different parts.

PRETTY suncH OF poRkERs

One of the prettiest lot Of hogs we
have seen in many day was herded
i'm the corner of Main street and Ok
Iawaha avenue Friday nighttime pork
ers had been driven from Mr. McLin's
fam, two miles west OF the city, and
as they were very fat, were stopped
here for rest, before being driven
to the Seaboard for shipment to the
Armour Packing Co. in Jacksonville.
There we're sixty-two in the num-
Der when they were started from the
farm. but owing to the unusually hot
weather five big ones gave out and
died on the road before reaching the
city. 1t was estimated that they would
average about $50 pounds each, and
at 16 cents a pound on the hoof-the
present market price-these porkers
amount to nice little fortune to the
owner.
