The Winter Scene.

The rutted roads are all like iron. Skies
Are keen and brilliant; only the oak
leaves cling
In the bare woods, or hardy bitter-sweet
Drivers have put their sheepskin jackets
on;
And all the ponds are sealed with sheetei
ice
That rings with stroke Of skate ana
hockey-stock,
Or in the twilight cracks with running
whoop.
Bring in the logs Of oak and hickory,
And Make an ample blaze ON the wide
hearth.
Now is the time, with winter Ger the
world,
For books and friends and yellow candle
light,
And timeless lingering by the settling
fire. -
While all the shuddering stars are keen
with cold.

REDUCE SUGAR RATION
Food Administration Will Ask
Each Person to Cut Sugar Ra-
ton in Half and Observe More
Wheatless and Meatless Davs

"A sugar ration of three pounds for
eacn person month, a porkless day
ana one Wleatless meal dav will he
recommended to householders in new
kltcnen card soon to be put out nv
tne 1000 administration. Observance
OF Wheatless and meatless meals will
De asked IN addition to the wheatless
ana q meatiess days called for now.
!, Inc normal consumption of sugar in
the United States has been more than
seven pounds for month for each per
son. 1t the new directions are fol-
lowed universally it will cut it's use to
below half.
The cards will caution against
noardlng foodstuffs in homes, point
ing out that the practice not only is
selIlsh but that it contributes to high
er prices and defeats the purposes of
the food administration in seeking an
equitable distribution.
The reverse side of the card carries
a message to householders on the
world food situation and the duty of
America towards feeding the Allies.
The food situation in Europe" it
says, is far greater than when the
preliminary survey Of the food supply
OF the world for this year was made.
We have an abundance for ourselves
and it is the policy of the food admin
lstration by the prevention Of exports
to retain for our people an ample sup
ply OF every essential foodstuff. The
harvests of our Allies have proved
less than contemplated and the great
curtailment Of shipping by the sub
marine has further prevented them
from access to remote markets.
Every particle of diminished con-
sumption by the American people is
one particle for the soldiers, men, wo-
men and children of our Allies and
Tor the starving pepole in other coun-
tries. This is a personal obligation
upon every one of us towards some in
dlvldual abroad who will suffer pri-
,vatlon to the extent Of our own neg
igence."

pie We coat our simplicity with all
sorts of artificial tastes and interests.
We get in the habit of enjoying
complicated pleasures and those
only. We are ashamed to confess
that a chicken sandwich ana
glass of orangeade are our idea of
a pleasant refreshment for the even
ing We imagine that not to order
grape fruit and crab meat Dewey
and a cafe parfait and a fancy drink
marks .us out as unaccustomed to
society!
When people are sure of them
selves they dare to be simple. The
stiff formality of rs it propr?"
does not enter into the scheme OF
things for well-bred people half as
much as it does for those who are
i'll bred. 20 be simple in your tastes,
to be simple in your friendliness; to
enjoy simple entertainments, simple
foods, simple friendships and all the
vast, honest, unadorned, quiet beauty
of things that have not been COM
plicated and tangled up by the ma
chinery of life in a city is to be a
real person.
L know men who are afraid to in
vite the girls they like out for an
evenings entertainment. Recently
one of them put it to me like this:
How can l take Grace Carpen-
ter out? How can l show her any
attention? She wants to go to dim
ner and then to theater in third row
seats for which l would have to pay
a big premium, out for a supper
party afterward and home in a
taxi. Figure the cost--at least SO
for the dinner and six more for the
theater seats and enough for the
supper and taxi to bring my even
ing's bill up to the point where il
destroys a $40 bill. l can't do it.
Knowing girls is 100 expensive"
And Gertrude confides in me that
she loves the movies and likes get
ting her own things off the tray at
the cafeteria, but that if the boys
knew that a tongue sandwich and a
glass cf ginger ale in a cheap, little
restaurant formed her idea of good
time they wouldn't think she was
civilized!
We're too civilized" - that's
what's the waiter with US. We miss
all the fun of the simple things
which naturally appeal to us and
spend money and energy trying to
enjoy the highly sophisticated
pleasures" which don't mean halt
as much to us as friendly compan-
ionship and simple amusements.

simply and the bargain had been
sealed that way.
And she had played fair. She
gave him herself quite freely and
the lightness and selhshness that
other women in her position showed
so plainly was not evident in Adele.
She accepted her luxury as her due.
She reasoned quite fairly that she
had paid a price for it and she never
reniged on her husband. And that
was why with the alteration. of lfer
beauty that he had felt from the
beginning, had come a certain adj
miration of her character that
brought his feeling up to worship.
She wore beautiful clothes, she was
decked in jewels. she entertained
lavishly, but behind it all, she lived
her life fairly"
1t was astonishing, a continual
revelation to the man who was her
husband. And that was why on the
night of the smash up, he came so
slowly into her room. He knew that
he was about to lose her. What
ever he had had to hold her had
been swept away that afternoon, and
he had been powerless to save any
thing. He wondered DULY ii she had
heard anything of it, already the
papers were full of it.
She was sitting in low chair, and
she looked up quickly as he came
into the room.
He met her eyes squarely, and
held his head high. His voice was
crisp as he asked quickly, Have
you heard?"
She nodded.
"Sit down, Will" she said after a
moment.
sT sunpose vou've been thinking
what you'd better do he said even
ly. you've been utterly fair to me,
Adele, you've played your game
straight as the men say, and
there's not going to be any fuss
about what you decide to do
"Of course not" she said, as
! though she had understood chat fact
! all along. II knew you were like
| that when l married you"
"I couldn't save much, but what
/ there is I'll make over to you, and
! you can be free any time you like.
AS for me-" he finished proudly. "I'll
! get back, I'm sure of that" Then
| his voice softened: You wouIdn'
want to wait, would you, Adele, it
! won't be long"
| Then she laughed, long peals of
| laughter that startled him, and then
! just as suddenly she began to cry
/ softly, just like a woman. Kerri-
| gan had never seen her give way
| like this, and>he was at her side i'm
| a moment, gathering her up into
! his arms like a child.
When her sobs grew quieter, she
began to speak Il wonder what
