By EARL GOODWIN,

While we are driving the food prohteer from the city
let not forget that there many splendid mercnano
here who devong their energies to selling goods a. an
prices.
The merchant present has easy task BE hedged
about with regulations and has to meet conditions oo
in deliveries and costs of all kinds which would nave
swamped him year ago.
Therefore when we find merchant doing business at
fair pro-snd there plenty Of this hndhe Is entitled
to respect and to our trade.
Several days ago the food administrator found 1t neces
sary to close up several small groceries Inc charge
proteerng was made against them In the Of two
three Of these unfortunate dealers it concusvey shown
that they proeeng because they did not know how
to manage their own affairs.
Wastefulness, accounting system, and unnecessary
expenses all contributed to drag upon their business which
In turn was felt by the public which had to pay high prices
to keep those establishments of the rocks.
On the other hand fair and smart merchants have been
turning their attention to every available opportunity to
buy low and to sell as low as possible.
There is another thought in connection with priced
food:
Many women have the telephone habit They shop By
telephone and drop into rut thereby They find it
call up the grocer and ask him what he has for sale They
are likely to buy more goods at higher prices than their
thrifty neighbor who goes out and shops among the
chants who sitting up nights trying to find the cheapest
stuff for their customers.

evenings, and walks in the park
on Sunday. There was q good
deal more kissing, as the affair
progressed, and the girl writes me
she regarded herself as engaged,
though all this time he never &C
tuaIly mentioned marriage.
But he would say sometimes,
when they walked by an attrac-
tive house: 81 wish we could at

An Of which my correspondent
regarded as sacred as a betrothal
ceremony.
She Bought q Hope Chest"
The poor child actually bought
a 'hope chest" and began en-
broidering center pieces and bu-
reau scarfs and other dainty
things, into which girls sew all
the sweet tender thoughts OF
home and the future
Then gradually there were
fewer walks in the park on Sun
days, less theater and movies"
during the week. and less kissing
back Of the filing cabinet!
The girl persisted in her belief
in the engagement and continued
to work for the hope chest"
Then one awful day a friend told
her that her supposed fance was
going to marry the daughter Of
wealthy man who lived near the
friend in a suburb.
Ny correspondent asked the
young man II this were so, and
after some pretty uncomfortable
moments, he admitted the truth Of
the rumor.

To Be or Not To Be?
Two Washington People Ask This Question-Their
Answers Appear In Brief News Items.

Two short and nconspcuous items that printed IN
last evenings Washington papers spelled of life than
their length indicated or their display evidenced
One recited the death from se-inficted wounds Of
Government clerk eighty-two years old.
Loneliness and discouragement' were the reasons
assigned why he chose the ceanes Of death rather than
the uncertainties of living
The item said that he had for many years been Gov
eminent employe but with advancing years his health had
failed and without friends relatives to care for him he
sought what seemed to him the easiest escape.
Sometime, eighty year-od Government clerks win not
commit suicide.
We shall ss advance in the love of our feIIowmen
provide for old age and its infrmities.
Pensions to which we shall all contribute will soften
advancing years that to see the bottom of
Me's cup it will not be altogether dregs.
The other item recited the finding in park in the
center Of the city Of three weeks old baby girl casrinp

dressed and warmly wrapped.

tons 1t homo when they come to
the Office intha morning
They Were Both Stealing Time.
When the boy began to make
love to her during Office hours,
and kiss her back Of the fling
cabinet, both were stealing time
that didn't belong to them, and
both did wrong.
The girl took her chance, and
she must now take her medicine.
\ In allowing him to kiss her, the
boy decided that she, too, was
having a little 'innocent fun" It
meant nothing in particular to
him, therefore, it meant nothing
in particular to her-frum his
point of view.
II she had refused TO accept
this casual l0ve-making, he would
have gotten a different impress
sion Of her character and there
might have been another story to
tell Poor little thing, / hope her
unhappiness won't last long, and
next time, she VIII know better.
For there viii be a next tina, in
spite Of all her protests-
You have to be twice nineteen

young nineteen really is. There
is a whole world of beautiful sun
shine before her. Perhaps she
does not know it, but she has the
most magnificent possession life
can give-youth
She may not realize it, crying
out her heart tonight, but there
isn't an old dowager duchess who
wouldn't give all the family jewels
to change places with her. To be
nineteen is a gift of the gods.

he answered: I'm awfully sorry
II you are hurt, but thought We
were just having a little innocent
fun!"
The poor child was heart broken;
she went home and burnt up the
contents Of her. "hope chest" and
gave herself up to utter wretched-
ness. Then she wrote me she was
done with men," And all sorts Of
bitter things, besides.
The girl was a victim Of over
confidence. She regarded the boys
casual love-maktng, what he called
his innocent fun" as sacredly
binding She took things too
much for granted
Business Conditions Different
She was assuming that condi-
tons wero the same as before girls
went into Offices TO work for salar-
les. II a young man acted toward
a girl, ia her fathers house, as
my correspondent describes, there
would have been an accounting to
her nearest male relative.
The boys behavior was bad
enough from any standard, but
times have changed, and there is =
feeling that q girl In business
ought to be able to take care Of
herself-and her emotions.
The situation SUCCESSES the busi-
ness maxim -Caveat emptor."

~ that she is ~done with

with wounded pride. She does not

She is too young. too lacking in

making love, very tentatively at
