n an open letter to the allied nations

made public here. Among the

The injustices charged are enumer-

AMusEMENTs.
Cheer Up Again.

We say the prices now are
high, so high we're often strick-
Ell dumb; we shudder when we
go to buy; cheer up, the worst is
yet to come! The shoemen say
there are no hides, and daily
leather grows more rare; and so
the price of footwear slides ten
parasangs up in the air. The
clothiers say there is no wool.
the sheep are dead and on the
ice; it takes some influence and
pull to get suit at any price.
The bakers say there is no flour,
and so the children have no
bread. and we are weeping every
hour because our hopes are lying
dead. The BARRIERS say there are
no barbs, and we must let our
whiskers grow until they spread
like noxious YARDS, and wave and
wiggle to and fro. The grocer
says he cannot groce for less
than ninety-fve per cent; he
sees the sheriff drawing close
when profits sink, is his lament.
And SO things go, from day to
day, the whole blamed world is
out of plumb; but let us all be
blithe and gay; cheer up, the
worst is yet to come. The worst
will come, and then the slump,
the big reaction will appear; and
we will carry to the dump the
pirate and the prohteer.

Il am glad to hear you say so.
l shall 90 home much happier, Mrs.
Gray, for having met you, and know
ing you are with Sandra.
From that moment, Mrs. Gray was
a strong partisan of Mothers, and
often spoke Of her in the most COM
plimentary terms, which naturally
pleased me Immediately, especially
when she talked before Everett.
1 was really almost happy while
| Father and Mother remained. We en-
tertained for them, and some of Ev-
erett's older friends did also. We went
to the theater and the opera and ev-
erything that could be done for their
pleasure, Everett did. l was CRATE
full.
But as soon as they left, all my
old forbodings returned. Everett did
not love me- thought, leaden-heart-
ed. | had said it hundred times.
And now | began to wonder what
happened then when a man didn't
love woman and yet was married,
to her.
T '1'll never let him leave me, never
give him a divorce" ] said to my
self, scarcely knowing what a person
had to do or leave unSone 20 be
divorced. 81 would rather he would
beat me than be so Indifferent. 1t
would be better to have him cruel,
than to feel he was loving her all the
time. I've not lost him-I never have
really had him,"I assured myself.
The old wonder as to why he had
married me obtruding as to why he
wanted to marry me ''It is too late
to do anything. He loves Leola," l
thought.
Had I thought of it all, I would
have said-before l married Everett
that married people were always
happy. 1t was something l, girls
of my age, are apt to take for grant
ed. If | had married a man of my
own age l might have found it at
once, as l expected. But I think all
girls are more fiattered when an
FOLDER man shows them attention, es-
pecially a charming man of the world
like Everett We are thrilled by
their knowledge, fattered that they
notice us.
1t isn't until after they are married
that the youth of one makes for un-
happiness, even though they have ev-
erything money can buy and home
every one envies. 1t isn't only-as
have found out-that the older man
cannot understand the young girl. 1t
is more often that the young girl can
not either understand the older man
or appreciate his point of view. So
they go on blindly until they resign
themselves to their unhappiness or
until something opens their eyes to
what the other is trying to be and do.
Another thing | have found out
1t is usually the wife who is blamed
if there is trouble. Especially if a
man is socially prominent and liked
by his set.

to her:

in all the things of which she was so
ignorant. She is so young" The sigh
with which Mothers always spoke Of
my age accompanied the words,
"She is very adaptable. She is al
so very lovable," Mrs. Gray said.
Mother sighed again. Then re-
piled:
"Yes-I think she IS. But she has

in married life which calls for trust
and forbearance. | have wished She

Catarrhal Deafness Cannot Be Cured

the diseased portion Of the ear. There is
only one way to cure catarrhal deafness,
and that is by a constitutional remedy.
Catarrhal Deafness is caused by an in

the Eustachian Tube. When this tube is
infamed you have tumbl!nG sound or iIl-
perfect hearing, and when 1t is entirely
closed, Deafness is the result. Unless the
Inflammation can be reduced and this tube
restored to its normal condition, hearing
will be destroyed forever. Many cases of

an infamed condition of the mucous eur

before the close of the war Lionel
Gordon Smith, social investigate at

reason for the lowered vitality there.
He found "a vast number Of people

partly due to unemployment" Among

partly due to low, real wages, for,

decrease in tuberculosis from 1,444 to
1871. due to the efforts of the Wom-
ans Health Association, Dublin still
possesses one Of the largest tubercu-

Lot Of Anteroons,

In the courtyard Of the old palace,
which was built for the Duchess of
Bourbon, morganatic wife of Louis
XIV. there are alert soldiers guarding
every entrance. They exhibit prac-
tica1 bayonets and refer the visitor
to an anteroom which is outside the
seven or eight other anterooms lead

outer apartment, one is in the midst
of an impatient and anxious throng.
They scribble notes to deputies, inn
ploring admittance. and hand them to
one Of several intellectual looking
bailifs. who wear brilliant uniforms
with scarlet vests. The bailiff disap-
pears. After an hour-no exaggera-
tion-he reappears with handful of
o. ks. He calls out names, sharply.
Some lucky ones struggle through the
crowd, flushed with triumph. Another
half hour and the deputy one has call

cheerful. All the French are courteous
