ORCHARD INN. the 12t
DEAR JoANIE:

ORCHARD INN, the 12th. DEAR JOANIE:
 haven't written for some days because I've ben absolutely dead and buried from overwork. Eric--I should say Capt. Wallis-his been adorable about it, so considerate and appreci- ative. But Oh, my dear. it has been a great pull. Two or three evenings it was past nine before we even dared stop for supper. A hurried snack, then back again to the old typewriter with Eric (there goes the slip again but never mind; that's how I think of him) coming out of his book world every little while to enlist his tired mind in my behalf.
 ''Oh, my dear girl. Tin wearing you out! l was a brute 10 tax you so. didn't realize the story would lengthen out at the end. I'll never for give"
 ''Please!" I urge, Don't worry about me. It isn't the first time I've met a business emergency-and beat en it. Come, let's go at it again. It will be finished and ready for the pub fisher tomorrow"
 You're an optimist, dear" he said ] and Joan my senses lsaped at the tiny word. It rested me smore than the hours of sleep could have done. l ] didn't pause to analy;se my feelings Or to question what he may have meant by it. I just hugged it joyous 1 ly to my hungry heart-and thought no further.
 But the novel was not finished next day and it was the last day of grace | from the publisher. We raced on, he pacing the floor and dctating, type ing as fast as fast my fingers could l fly over the keys. Neither of us | thought of the time When it grew dark Eric lighted the hanging lamps and we went straight on with the work
 Ends in sight, girl,p he whispered bending suddenly close to my cheek and as suddenly going back again to his realm of plot and fancy.
 With humping heart and hot face kept steadily on. And at last-at last the words he was composing lost their mechanical batter and become fraught with meaning to my wearied mind:
 And so' he was saying, they stood l together on the hiIltap watching the deep blue shadows rise about them from the valley. Shoulded to shoulder and cheek to burning cheek they lean ed in the exquisite peace of their love Not the pretty light love of prosperity But love born of mutual toll, mutual | suffering. The tested love. The en- during love. The threefoId love oi body. mind and spirit--such as all ot us know, but few of us find" As I set the period at the end oi the phrase all the strength in my body seemed to ooze. In know my head throbbed and felt light and funny. My knees seemed of tinfoil. I'm not usu- ally the giving -out sort of girl, Joan

you know that. But without know ing how it happened. I found myself sprawled across my typewriter, face down. and Eric Wallis lifting me with strong arms-and gentle, gentle words. You poor little plucky kid--you're i'll and starved and-Oh. what slave driver I've beeni Come-you're going to rest on this couch while I dash to the Inn for some grub"
 I tried to brace up, Joan, and I be- lieve did manage smile. It probably was a pretty sick one. At any rate he reached out, took me once more in his muscular grasp and was half leading, half carrying me to the divan when a sound at the door startled me into ter TOT. Wheels on gravel-the throb of a motor-the thud of some one jumping to the ground and ;oisy flinging open of the door.
 My reeling senses just contrived to recognize Jim Ross with an expression of angry disgust upon his fa,ce-and then for the first time in my life ] tainted dead away.
 l am still too spent to write more tonight, dear, but love you, Joan dar- ling, and Oh, how I long for youl

The Presidents Opportunity.

If the crusade Of the nresident against the high cost of living is vigorously and successfully prose cuted he and the democratic party will be put into a stronger position than the party has occupied. Since theeivH war when the democratic party which has always been minority party. has won, it always won by fluke never on it's merits but at the temporary displeasure the people with the repub ncan party or because of temporary rift in the majority.
 But if a reduction of the high cost of living be traced to the activities of the president he will have something to point to that would render him unbeatable for third term if he should want third term or it would enable him to choose a successor if he should make nearly sane choice.
 1t may not be within the present powers of the president to accomplish what he has set out to do, to hunt down and punish the profiteers If he lacks those powers he can ask congress for them. If the republican congress, stn under the spell of those sinister influences which lureo the party to it's down. ran seven years ago should refuse on any pretext, however specious. cooperation with the president it would have committed party suicide.
 This is the thing the people interested and in little else. The democratic party stronger for the war; but on the contrary, believe the was disastrous for the party. The people fh the mass are not vially concerned in the peace treaty or the League of Nations over which leaders and newspapers are wrangiing. The president without doubt returned from Europe with lessened prestige, which had already suffered severely the coagres- Sional elections last fall But now he has an oppor- tunity to it all and add to it immeasurably

 hoped that the merciful sands had buried the dead German officers in snug and quiet graves, but it seemed to me that they would hold to their pact with each other and with Certes, that they would betray themselves in some frightful way to an intruder-to Mary, were she to grope down there alone seeking that string of pearls. In some obscure way they had brought tragedy to all but their rightful possessor and that, Mary certainly was not. Neither was l.
 shuddered, not that had any su- perstition about fatality coming from the gems themselves, but in plain words. I didn't want Mary Thomas scared to death.
 Of couse she would have to go down, eventually. and reach into the long tunnel of the empty torpedo case, but we would have her trainer go down with her and stand by, while she put her pretty pink fingers on the hidden jewel box. And I would have Jim Jr. on board and my old reliable Tommy.

So Mary merely took her lesson over siae that morning. As she des- cended her ladder. by the side of her trainer on his ladder. I admitted that she had far more courage than most women.
 Hers certainly was a queer com plex" to use the word of the moment. Mary could rule her muscles, could make her body do extraordinary stunts, she was physically athletic and brave, I thought with a scared little thrill as her helmet disappeared beneath the top of the sea, and her form grew wavy and vague far down in the water.
 But Mary couldn't always rule her mind and her emotions. She was in love with Tiny. though once she had thought herself in love with Jim Jr. If Tiny would marry her, she would be the best little wife in the world, but if he persisted in scornlng her, she would carry out her old plan to force Jim to wed her-and for a very hard motive, too.
 I couldn't solve her at all. Why couldn't she be consistent! If l could be sure that she would be content with getting those old pearls-and that she would go away with them, felt that l would be almost glad to help her. Only-there was Chrys wanting those pearls. too, and just as determined as Mary to have them.
 Its an awful mess. And no way out" l thought over and over again, while Mary remained submerged. 'T'll be awfully glad when this job is fin- ished.'
 But I wasn't glad. after all. when it finally came to an end. The end was far too terrible.

Whether he will have that Rooseveltian courage and endurance to meet it and stay with it: will have the perception of the situation great emergency be dealt with by unusual means is yet to be seen. If he has, he will be winner. It is bigger oppor tunity to him than the bigger one than the peace conference. the biggest offered to president since Lincoln met the opportunity presented by the between the states
 It is a gratifying sign that the president has last recognized that cancer be cured by applying poultices and that good times cannot be restored by raising wages and thus highly stmu- lating the competition between high wages and high prices
 His task is which will require decision. swift and forceful, if it is to be accomplished in way that will yield him credit for it's accomplishment The stage of dreaming investigation and delibera- ton has passed and the time for action which must be immediately followed by results He may be called revolutionary but Roosevelt called that and he lent honor to the epithet
 It appears however to be the disposition of the republican leaders to enter whole heartedly i4to operation with the president in his fight against the profteers for there is where and where only it is to be attacked. The republicans may De able to af ford him valuable assistance by preventing the at tack from being diverted into assaults upon wind mills The tendency of the president in the face of other problems has been to be led into theories instead of clear observance of plain conditions The only sign we have seen of that tendency far is in his allusion to the unsettled state of the peace treaty obstacle the restoration of reasonable prices.
 We have doubt that every profiteer in the land will cheerfully with the president that the unfinished treaty and suspended covenant are not only obstacles, but the chief obstacles in the way. They would equally agree with him if he should observe that the high cost of living is the direct result of a planetary conjunction and disturbance. Every fanciful theory relative to the high cost of living will be grist to the mill of the profiteers.

 Fortunately, my instinct was all against my impulse. Jim's photograph proved that the hulk of the sea pirate was blanketed in sand. Whether the cover was deep or shallow, no one could tell without going down. And l couldn't picture Mary wandering

THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT GAN CUT YOUR
 COST OF LIVING. THIS TELLS HOW:

The federal government can cut the high cost of living.
 It can be done at one blow-by forcing reduc- tion in the price of bread.
 The money with which to do it is already in the hands of the government grain corporation.
 Here is how the subsidy would work out:
 Flour mills would continue to pay farmers the basic price of s22e bushel guaranteed by the gov ernment.
 The grain corporation would refund to the millers a set amount-say s1 a bushe-making payment from the s100O 900 900 fund that was provided by congress for guaranteeing the price of wheat.
 Wheat would thus cost the miller only sf-25 bushel and flour would come from the mill at a price corresponding1y low.
 Cheaper flour would result in cheaper bread
 The grain corporation. by an extension of its licensing system, would set the price at which miller sell flour. It would also set the price at which the baker must sell bread.
 In order that the public reap full advantage of the subsidy prices charged by miller flour retailer, baker and bread seller must be reduced in exact pro portion to the cut in wheat price at the mills
 The machinery for handling all this is for the most part already in existence in the auditing and ehecking-up branch of the governments licensing system.
 bread subsidy along these lines has been urged by statesmen, business men, labor leaders ana economists
 There is question about it's success Great Britain used it during the war and kept the bread price down to the equivalent of cents loaf.
 When bread prices tumble the result of the proposed subsidy other food prices also would fall for bread prices regulate general food prices just steel prices determine industrial prices.
 billion dollar bread subsidy is the billion dol- lar club that can smash general food prices.

The Theater Strike.

We suppose that the Actors strike in New York seriously disarranges the plans of theater- but it is disturbance that cannot have very reach should walk out and stay out God would still reign and the government at Washington would still live. Such strike would affect the high of living one way or another, but first nighters well the later theater- goers would have more money to meet the expenses of high living and high jnks.
 To many of the New York theater goers the theater is not nearly essential it previous to July of the present annum domni. The theater was only preliminary to the after theater supper, which lacks much of the attractiveness it formerly possessed
 The proprietors of the theaters are generally pretty fixed They stand the strike, however long it may last and even if it should be permanent they could retire far beyond hearing of the snarls of the wolf The country will shed no bitter tears over the theater strike.
 And have we not with us the movies wherewith in them would be foredoomed to failure. Movie kings and queens like poets not made but born and like the sucker, one is born every minute We would always be assured of supply of strike break ers-
 The irnperishable charm of the movie lies not in the acting but in the ingenuity of the scenario writer the skill of the director and the puchritude of the girls and men, The world full of beautiful women, handsome men and expert photographers. The movie is permanent and immovable as the Rocky mountains.

FEW SUIT CHANGES
Styles Only Slightly Affect Con-
 servative Type.
Last Winters Outfit Will Not Be Passe-Fur Trimming Is Not
 So General.

There are many women who wear and always look well in it. These are usually the women who select con- servative style to begin with and then freshen 1t up the second season with small fashionable touches. Say what you will about the changeableness of fashion, observes fashion writer, you will have to grant that within the last few years there have been very few changes in suit styles that would af- feet the more conservative type of suit That is, we have worn the same sort of suit sleeves and the straight belted or semi-fitted jacket that per sisted. To be sure, there have been changes in skirt length and girth, but you have never looked out of style if you persisted in a conservative me- dium In these matters.
 Now radical changes are said to be working in the realm of fashions as an inevitable aftermath of the wars end. Distended hips are sure to come in. They are always worn almost to the exclusion of any other sort of thing for evening gowns by fashionable wom- en, but 1t has really been determined by the makers of women's clothes that these distended hips shall not have showing in women's suits. It would take more goods than the wom- en could afford to pay for. Conse- quently the straight silhouette will per sist for day street wear at least dur ing the winter.
 So your last winters suit will not look so out of the picture after all In the matter of fur trimming, although some coats are trimmed lavishly with if, it is by no means so general, and some women who have planned the re- modelling of suits they have worn last winter or before have planned to have the old fur removed. On some of the new suits with fur trimming it is found only on the collar and along the edge of large hip pockets. It would be possible then to have the fur moved and enough that is good made over to use in this way. Then some of the suits show the use of warm an- i'ora cloth or other fabrics made to take the place of fur, but by no means limitations. If the old fur is shabby one of these angOra fabrics? It would be especially attractive on a suit that iS cut along the sports lines.
