This particular woman, like several
others, decided that of course she
could get things cheaper" in Kan
sas City despite the fac. that Topeka
excels in shopping facilities. She even
extended her conservation plan to the
idea that she could have a tooth ex-
tracted at a much more reasonable
price than she could have it done in
Topeka. First, she inquired of the
price from a well known local dentist.
ITO take out that wisdom tooth so
that you will not feel it I'll have to
charge five dollars" he told her.

bling a bag and a powder puff. she
went to Kansas City The tooth was
extracted by a dentist who makes a
speciality of that work, she sat in a
mahogany furnished office and read
fashion magazines until she had rest

appeared she deity opened her pock-
etbook and asked the price. Twenty

If you want to know what war
really is, talk, as I did to the old
French peasant with whom I was bill
Ieted at one place. Let him tell you
how the boche invaded his peaceful,
prosperous little farm with fine
large pile of manure banked up
against the front of his housed; how
they RACED his house, took his crops
and carried off his two daughters;
how they made penniless refugees of
him and his wife (both over 20, 1

a look of indescribable pride in his
face-how, out of his seven sons, six
have died for France and the seventh
is a German prisoner. Then you'll
understand what 1 mean when 1 say
that we Americans have no idea yet
what war really is. And these old
peasants are so stoical and brave!

A. l.: After marriage a woman re-
tains which ever she prefers, either
her maiden surname as Mary Stewart
Barlow or her middle name as Mary
Susan Barlow Either is correct, but
most women prefer to use the former.

ways be signed this way. In formal

ANXIOUS: It would be quite proper
for you to ask your friend to call at
the end of his sojourn away from the
city, and the afternoon or evening
would be equally appropriate to re-
ceive him. There are endless ways of
reassuring an uncertain sutton that
you are still interested in him, one
can lay down no set rule except that
you give him reason to believe that he
is welcome in your home, and in many
little discreet ways. which every
woman has according to her particu
lar case.

GRAIN MARKET.

CHICAGO, Dec. 24.-Blizzard con ditions which seemed likely to delay the crop movement had a bullish in fluence today on corn. Prices closed firm at the same as yesterdays finish to Ac higher, with January $1.39ss to $1.S9% and May S1,359s to S1.3519. Oats lost $ to % to IA. In provi- sions the outcome ranged from FOG decline to BOG advance
 Today's corn receipts in Chicago amounted to only 35 cents. Except from shorts, however, buying was slack, owing partly to the holiday te- morrow and partly to chances that a cold wave would facilitate wagon traf- fic from farms.
 Lack of aggressive support weak ened oats. Domestic shipping call was slow, but exporters were said to have taken 100000 bushels.
 Provisions averaged higher with hogs. Besides, British official reports on the foreign meat and fat situation were bullish.
