Eta was twenty-six years old when
she became engaged to Jim Bailey. She
was a saleswoman in a department
store. He was telegrapher. She
loved him and she was tired of selling
linens and ginghams, so she got, her
wedding clothes ready in a hurry And
she listened absently to her cousin Nell
who had been married ten years and
was still selling notions. Take my adj

bitterly, as long as he has asked for
the privilege"
Eta smiled blithely. Small Ikeli-
hood of Jim allowing her to work! He
wasn't that kind. Anyway. they were
leaving the city. He had been put in
charge of the telegraph Office of a
small town. The salary was small, but
she had agreed with him that expenses
would be correspondingly small. since
their living rooms were back of the
Office and rent free. Both were tired
of the city, anyway. So she scoffed at
Nell, and forgot the warning until a
week later, when the short honeymoon
was over and they were hustling, suit
the telegra phi headquarters of Jenville.
Then. while she was surveying with
some anus ement tbeing used to city

Perhaps. if it had not been for the
cynical Nell's warning But that
warning rang in Etta's consciousness.
Surely, a man ought to wait more than
a week before suggesting to his wife
that she share in the expenses of keep
ing up the home! Etta's eyes blazed.
But she said nothing. She didn't want
to begin their life there with a quar-
rel. And a quarrel on that matter
would have been one of the kind that
it is impossible to control.
For a week they were busy getting
settled. The assistant to the former
telegrapher stayed on. But he was a
restless young man, anxious to try
other fields. He seemed to take it as
matter of course that Eta would
learn as soon as possible and release
him. 1t seemed that it was customary

SUGAR FAMINE" BROKEN;
BIGGER SUPPLY ON WAY
Dealers Still Urge That People Buy
for Only Their Imme-
diate Needs.

While there is still a serious shortage
of sugar in Washington, small guam
titles are coming in and are being sold
at but a slight advance over the nor
NAL price. Large consignments are re-
ported to be en- route for the capital.
and wholesalers and retailers continue
to say that if the public will be pa
tient for a few days there will be an
adequate supply to meet all reasonable
demands.
Owing to the cry of sugar famine
which swept over Washington the mid
die of last week. there was such a run
on the supply here that the stock of
practically all of the dealers was ex
hausted.
Over Sunday several carloads of sugar
came into the city, and this is being
doled out today to those who need it.
Those who have a supply of sugar in
their homes are being urged not to
ask their grocers for more. with the
assurance that as they need sugar it
will be supplied to them without an
advance in price.
All dealers interviewed today state
that if the people will be patient and
use just what sugar they are accus-
toned to, and buy as they need 1T,
there will be plenty to go around.
