This government in the war period
seized practically every industrial in
stltution in the United States. 1t cur
tailed and rationed the supply OF food,
Communicated the supply OF fuel
controlled prices and wages. and sus-
pended the laws of supply and de-
mand. All business. whether domes-
tic or foreign, unless in the opinion of
the government It was held to be ex-
clusive'y war business" was 49, de
practically impossible by its restric-
tions. Costs were disregarded and
wages apparently had no limit. How
ever proper or wise such a policy may
have been during the stress of war,
says Leslie's, we must not forget that
the war is over and for US. as well as
for our defeated foes. this signifies
that the rough and rugged road of
war must be restraced and the road
back to domestic progress and normal
prosperity must be traversed. A lack
OF confidence and a delay in the re-
vival Of business has been clearly dis
cernible thruout the country since the
nrmistice was signed last November.
Much Of this may be traced to the nat
ural timidity OF capital, which runs to
cover at the least hint OF danger. A
fear has existed that some, If not all,
OF the un-American schemes grated
onto the Industrial and political struc-
ture Of the republic under the guise OF
winning the war" might be perma-
ne1tly foisted on business by those
Missionaries and promoters Of economic
experiments who have been for some
time so numerous and active.

The federal grain corporation has
announced plan for regulating the
selling price of flour. In doing this
it is evincing determination to main
tain the price at a figure much above
that which in all probability would
prevail were the market left TO take

of wheat has been harvested and I'M

would not sell for anywhere near the

government. OF course, should keep
faith with the farmers, but in order
to do so It is not necessary to Cypress

Tho Value OF Beauty.


What is a womans beauty worth?
Aesthetically. OF course. it Is a pleas
ure forever, and the woman who can
really enjoy contemplating her reflec-
ton In the mirror must find life n
perpetual picnic for which there can
pc no money equivalent. Neither Is
the solid inward satisfaction one de-
rives from being gazed at by admiring
eyes wherever one goes to be esti-
mated in dollars and cents, bue apart
from the qualification to her own
vanity what is a woman's beauty
worth IN cold, hard cash?
A working woman, employed in q
factory, who's face was cut by an exc
plodlng bottle so that It required five
stitches from a surgeon to sew up the
wound. has sued her employer for
good looks
Is this amount excessive. or is IL
only fair recompense for the loss
the lady has sustained?
Tnis is matter of vital moment
20 women, Tor In deciding this i'm
portant question the jury will. In a
way, pass upon the value that beauty
Is 10 the entire feminine sex, and this
raises a most interesting problem
how much does a woman's looks.

cess in lifeI
Presupposing that matrimonv is tha
career that appeals most strongly 10
women and almost all Of them would
follow IL given suitable opportunity.
the first question that presents itself
In considering this subject Is how
much does a girls chances Of making
good match depend upon her looks7
One is inclined to say. offhand. en-
tirely, for beauty draws men by a
single hair, whether II is false or
natural. peroxided or not. When a
man hears of n woman for the first
time he does not ask, els she INTEL
ligent? Is she suitable? Is she
good?" But, rs she pretty?"
That is enough. She may be as duh
as meat axe. He can listen for
hours entranced to platitudes. IL the
lips that utter them are the shape of
Cupid's bow. She may be a spite
full little cat and as sordidly selfish
and greedy as they make them. No
man ever suspects a woman with a
pink and white complexion Of being
anything but an angel. With men,
beauty in women Is a satisfactory SUBJ
stitute for brains and heart. and the
girl who has a perfect profile has a
hundrd times as much chance to
catch a good husband as the girl who
Is perfect model of all the virtues.
1t is true that men do fall in love
with ugly women, and marry them,
but this Is only when the homely
woman had all the odds in her favor,
and has got about a mile the start OF
the good locker. In anything like
an even race for a mans affections
the pretty woman always wins out.

EVERETT TAKES HIS BRIDE
HOME.

HUME.
CHAPTER XIV.
We went TO Hendon the next day.
Everett had told me he had home
ready for me. gave it very little
thought. He was old enough to have
u home. He had mentioned q house,
keeper. So I supposed, II 1 thought
of it at all, that ne had kept a
bachelor tablishfae r -
1t was a big house. with a good
sized lawn. The day was cold aud
blustery when We arrived, and only
noticed that all the houses on the
street were rather HANDSOME. and bore
some resemblance to each other.
This is to be your home now"
the steps. 1 couldn't help wishing
he had waited until we had gone in.
then taken me in his arms and said:
Welcome home. darling" rs the
man had said in a story 1 had read.
You see was so totally without ex-
perience of men. men OF ,Everett's
age, that l had to compare him to
story heroes. I couldn't picture him
doing as the home boys would have
done. Someway 1 never thought Of
comparing him to dear Father. Yet
my father was the only man I had
known really intimately who was near
my husbands age.
L Imagined i wanted 10 make myself
feel that he was younger than Father.
The housekeeper came to meet us
when Everett opened the door with
his key. A nice looking young maid
stood back in the hall, smiling a well
come. 1 was so glad to see her
she was so young. you know-that
scarcely replied to the housekeeper's
greeting; but rushed up to her and
asked her name.
I'm Hetty. the waitress and up
stairs maid" she replied. She looked
pleased too. L suppose she saw that
I was young. But the housekeeper
looked annoyed 1 did not know I'M
til afterward that she had not been
told of her employers marriage until
we were in New York: nor that she
feared that she would either lose her
place or be bossed by a ''chit of a girl"
as Hetty said she called me. She
needn't have worried. I couldn't have
run that big house to have saved my
life-not then.
"Hetty will show you your ROOM"
Mrs Gray-that was the housskeep-
cr's name-informed me in chilling
tones. Glad to escape, L followed
Hetty with alacrity. leaving Everett
talking earnestly with Mrs. Gray.
"Oh. how lovelyi" I exclaimed,
when Hetty switched on the lights
