Many Holders Of Small Denomina.
lions Have Mistaken Idea In Not
Collecting Interest When Due.

1t seems that many holders of Lib
erty bonds are not collecting the In
terest when it falls due. If it is a
small bond the half-yearly interest is
a small sum-. Perhaps he does not
know how to do 1t. Every six months
an interest coupon, attached to the
bond, falls due. It Is as good as
money at any respectable bank. Cut
It off and hand 1t in at the bank.
Then put the amount into War Saw
ings stamps or into another Liberty
bond subscription. We have found
b~ondholders who failed to clip cou-
pons with the idea that by letting the
government keep the interest money
they were helping on with the war.
But that is not the way to do it
When interest falls due the treasurer
must hold In readiness a sur suff'
cient to pay it all. By collecting the
interest and investing the proceeds
In stamps you take 1t off the treas
ury's hands and clean up the books.
Take your Liberty bond investment
seriously. Clip the coupons when
they fall due.-Saturday Evening

The next day there was another

ers, with a battling result. The list Of
necessaries with their minimum prices
began to grow so long and ominous
that they decided to give up keeping a
list. They would buy what just had
to be got, as cheaply as they could,
and if they overran their %appropria-

them out.
The wedding date had yet to be

their royal phraseology in the latest
formula.
They placed the day late enough fol-
Bayard and his wife to get back from
Europe. Bayard had not written, OF
course, since his marriage, except q
brief note from the steamer the day
he landed. But he had set six weeks
as the limit of his absence.
One evening Clay announced that he
had reserved three seats for a new
comedy that had opened with success
a few nights before. Mrs. Kip begged
to be excused from going.
Clay urged her to reconsider her re

The two old Kips sat brooding over
their mystery. The fruit Of their al
most forgotten romance. the little,
squalling, helpless baby that had come
to then and strangely evolved into q
great, grown man, was now in the tolls
Of romance in his turn. He had found,
In a far city, somebody there that

Daphne was delighted at first. Then
she realized that the news Of his mar

disarray. She sighed;

catch a glimpse Of the bill for the
meal. II made her heart ache till she
noted that Clay gave the waiter a
dollar bill for the tip. without visible
excitement on either side. She re-
solved that Mr.. Wimburn must be
very rich or very rash.
Next morning the attack on the
shops began in earnest. Clay did not
lunch with them, and so Daphne and
her mother ate in the restaurant Of a
department store and paid for their
own meal. 1t made a difference.
Even the bargain prices for food to-
tailed up u~npleasantly, and Mrs. Kip
missed Clay's shining presence.
The chaos of the styles was so COM
plete that the two women decided to
retire and study out their campaign
on the war maps. They began to
make out lists and tally up prices. The
afternoon went by, and they had ac-

II suppose I'd better postpone my
wedding till we get Bayard off our
hands,"
'That's a fine idea |" her father ex-
claimed. 1t was always a joy to him
to defer an expense. Mrs. Kip flung
him a glare and Daphne rolled her
eyes in distress, but he redeemed him
self with an Unexpectedly graceful
turn. sit lets us keep Daphne with
us a little longer"
Daphne wrote this new decision to
Clay. He sent back a letter that fairly
howled with protest.
When Daphne told her parents Of
Clay's anguish they made light of 1t.
1t was a long, long while since they
had been young. They had learned
that marriages contain surprises that
may sometimes be postponed without
misfortune.
Bayard did not write again for sew
eral days. This time he wrote to
Daphne:
Dear Sis-Yours of no date Gas usual
received and beautiful contents noted. /
can hardly believe that my little sis Is an
nouncing intention to join the procession

sible han I used to think. This is sub
ject to revision when / know who the
lucky man is. Who is he? Some Cleve-
land Appolo Cor however you spell IT., /
suppose.
Before I could write you a bombshell ex-
| ploded in the office. Heads of firm decided
that since we can't sell any goods in Amer
lea, might try England. They want me to
| go over at once and see what can be done
about establishing a selling agency In
| lear old Lunnon, doncher know. And so
now I intend to combine business trip. va
cation, and honeymoon In same voyage
So we get married Thursday and sail
| Saturday. Just time to get settled in our
dove-cote before leaving.
Was worrying over not being able to &C
cept your kind offer to pay me a visit.
Then the blessed wifelet darlingly sug-
gested that her sweet sister-in-law-to-be
| should come to New York and make our
apartment her home while she shops.
We won't get back from honeymoon
hike for six weeks at least. You and
mother just settle down there until you
have finished shopping. Will leave key
and instructions with superintendent.
The letter ended with the usual
oceans Of love and kisses and the
usual haste. 1t set the family to pom
dering. Old Wesley was the first to
speak and his train of thought startled
the women:
$50 he's going to get married tomor
row. That's awful sudden! Saves us
buying a wedding present, though!
When he had recovered from the i'm
pact Of his wife's look he saved him
self again with a quick, pleading sug
gestion: "What / was thinking was
it leaves more money for Daphne's
~trousseau."
