They had been called Mary and
Martha, not that their mother had
thought of the Bible story. or of its
queer application, but for the fact
that they were twin girls and simple
names were the vogue in South Falls.
But strange to say they adhered
strictly to the Bible story. AS babies
there was not much difference, they
looked distractingly alike, and both
were dimpled and very, very good.
But as they grew older Mary began
to show dreamy tendencies. Martha
hustled around like her mother, she
learned to make bread and rolls. and
her capable little fingers evolved all
kinds of dainties for the church
picnics.
Mary liked to lie on her back in
the sunlight and make daisy chains,
she would stand for hours before the
mirror which she shared with her
sister, pulling her hair ribbon into
butterfly loops or smiling in differ
ent ways until Martha would tell her
mother that she didn't know what to
make of Mary's actions.
II declare that child will never
know anything" Mrs. Martin used to
say despairingly. II tell you, pa,
don't know where she gets those
actions of hers.
But the good-natured Mr.. Martin
would look up over his spectacles
and remark gently. Let her alone,
ma; you was child yourself once"
And so Mary was left alone, and
she grew up a tall, slim girl. with
wind-blown hair ana something in
her eyes that used to puzzle Martha.
1t was as though Mary dreamed
dreams, and was made of finer clay,
although her status in her own family
was absolutely nil. 1t was Martha
who was the admired of all the
swains in the neighborhood. Martha,
could bake fifteen kinds of cake, and
whose bread was the best in the viii
lage Martha, with her neatly wound
smooth braids, her plump little fig
ure and her rosy, good-natured face.
Mary was the fiyaway; Mary would
never make any kind of a wife-she
was too queer. And so 1t was Martha
who was driven to the band concerts
and who had an escort home from
church on Sunday morning.
Not that Mary cared. She was
happy enough. She read everything
she could get, and she would hike for
hours out in the sunshine, making up
stories in which she was always the
heroine. Mary never did any of the
work which Martha and her mother
accomplished so painstaKingly, and
rather than have her attempts at
help, which were always offered in a
half-hearted fashion, and which bore
inevitably bad results, Mary was left
to her own devices.
One day excitement came into the
Martin establishment, for company
was expected. Mrs. fill, who took
boarders. was over full, and out of
friendship Mrs. Martin offered to

BIG WAR Orders
SEND Up PRICES
ON SHOES HERE

With the H. C. l.. striking the "un'
derstandings" Of the people, they will
realize what the war, with Uncle Sam
in it, means.
Some Honolulu people have been
hard to convince that certain COM
modities are selling here at prices
that cannot be reduced, even to oldest
customers, without absolute loss to
the dealers.
. Shoes are among such articles Of
merchandise.
It Is a fact, though, that the price
of shoes has gone up IN Honolulu be-
cause the manufacturers will not SUP
ply them for anything like the old
figures.
Before the United States entered
the colossal struggle, the price Of
shoes had risen owing to a scarcity
Of leather, due in turn to the demands
Of the European belligerents for the
raw material and for shoes to supply
the battling hordes. Now enormous
contracts for shoes for the land and
water forces Of the United States are
elevating the prices of footwear to
the citizens at large. Today NJ. Nc.
Inerny & Co., Ltd, received the fol-
lowing cablegram from the NJ. A.
