What's the matter with dinner?' asked Andrew. as he walked through the dining room and out into the kitchen.
 "Go back into the library and read your paperw said Imogene, with a sob. T am in trouble and if you talk to me l will boo-hoo~
 Andrew laid a hand on her arm, brushed her ear lightly with a kiss and went out of the room without a word.
 He read his paper until he was called to the table and then during dinner he talked ceaseless chatter of nonsense which called for no reply. By the time the meal was over Imo- gene seemed more cheerful and had smiled time or two He lighted his after-dinner cigarette, blew a cloud or smoke toward the ceiling and then said:
 Now, then, tell me all about it. If it's a man I will thrash him. It it's money, have plenty. If it is wo- man, she is a hussy. and I will buy you a prettier dress than she ever had in her life.'

| over at Mabers a week or so ago and
 she had a lot of reeds and was mak-
 ing some tea trays to give away for
 Christmas presents.
 Tt was not at all hard and she taught
 me to weave the reeds and yesterday 1
 went downtown and bought enough ma
 terial to make two tea trays and I did
 them beautifully, if I do say it myself.
 T did not want to tell you because , you always laugh at the thing 1 do, and wanted to finish them up and show them 10 you all complete.
 After they are made they can be made 1 so much prettier by dyeing them, and so I went over to the drug store and get some dye and boiled it and put the two trays in it.
 'Thay were perfectly beautiful when ] they came out Of the dye and I spread q | newspaper over the drain board of the | sink and put them there to dry, and | then they began to twist and warp, that l is, the wood bottom of them did. 1 Tt was simply awful, Andrewl ''I laid them the floor and covered them with newspapers till there was no danger of the dye coming through and then piled on a big stack of books and all the f1atirons and stove filters and | things I could find. and in spite of all the weight, they would still warp, so l 1 had to sit on the stack of books 1 of course I could only sit on one stack at a time and then I would see 1 the other one begin to squirn and wiggle and warp under the stack of books and then I would sit on it awhile. 'I spent the whole afternoon and made dinner late hopping from one of those

SAVINGS DEPOSITS
 GROWING STEADILY
BY HOLLAND

New York, January 9-(Speciaf) )-Any business day there may be seen, certain ly in one and probably in number of the New York savings banks a throng Of deposltors almost every member of which is wage-earner. That of itself has not been in the past an unusual incident with our savings banks. But there are certain features that stand out dstinc- lively characterizing these groups, which justify the wonder whether it is true that the so-called high cost of living causes the repetition of demands for increased wages.
 Many of these depositors are women.
 To casual eye, and if only the gar- ments which they wear are observed, it would appear that they represent not wage-earners so much as those whose husbands or fathers receive large sal aries Many of them are dressed in fGrs of beautiful lustre, and with every appearance of having been newly bought Their millinery is of the latest style and ostrich feathers adorn their hats. Silks and velvets end velveteens are worn and also silk hosiery.
 Yet these well-dressed women are de- positors, and that they are able to pur- chase garments notwithstanding the present-day high cost of them, and at the same time reserve from their earnings a sufficient amount to enable them to make
 weekly deposits would seem to suggest the fact that the high cost of living does
 not greatly concern them. They are all
 wage-earners. One of the savings banks, the chief part of whose deposits come
 from customers of this class, has been
 thronged with depositors since early fall
 and especially during the Christmas holi-
 days. The president of this bank said
 this morning that not in his experience
 has there been such inflow of deposits,
 which for the most part represent sav-
 ngs from wages, as have occurred for
 the past three months. In his opinion
 the savings banks are gathering such
 heavy deposits that there soon will arise
 a serious question for the management,
 for the larger the deposits the greater
 the difficulty in handling the surplus,
 paradoxical as that may seem.
 A little inquiry has made it clear that
 notwith standing the abundance of cash
 which these wage-earners are receiving,
 nevertheless the production in the Va
 rious manufacturers or other industries

she repeated scornfully. "You think you're pretty slick, dearie. but listen, when you get ahead of Mother Sarah you want to get up before the birdies in the morning"
 You mean to say you don't believe that Susie called me minute ago on the telephoneg Frances exclaimed breathlessly.
 "Do I look like I believed it Mother Sarah scoffed. Susie aint calling this house. and giving her name over 1 telephone. and you know that as well as me. If you don't know it. then | you need watchin'. because there's something funny going on"

The house in which she now stood was on the verge of being raided by the police-or, more likely still, by Judge Crane and Ballln- But even if they did come up there ana search the place was there the sllght- est chance that they would discover the secre of that sliding door? Frances thought not, but close upon this spec ulation, she remembered that susie hao requested Mother Sarah to send the |new girl'' down to her. The new girl could be no other than Frances herself
 All at once the door opened and Mother Sarah's fat form filled the door way On her billowy face a look or strained suspicion mingled in doubt ful frown, and she moved into the room, meeting Frances eyes with a look of cold scorn.
 What you doing with that tele- phone?" she rasped, raising one fat arm and pointing to the instrument. Who you calling up?'
 No one Frances answered sharply. Who do you think I was calling up. l don't know anyone in New York to call. The bell rang and 1 answered it."
 You 1ie." the fat woman sneered savagely. You vas
 T tell you I wasn't calling anyoneH Frances flared angrily. T said the telephone rang and I answered it. Wouldn't l have heard it if 1t had rung?" Mother Sarah asked, but a note of doubt had crept into her voice, and she added with nothing of her former assurance: Who was it?'
 Susie Frances returned briefly susieT the other repeated, her sus- plclon disolving into d look of vague doubt. Susie called up here% Frances nodded, and waited for her cue.
 "Whatd she want?"
 She said you had better draw your covers because she was expecting this place to be raided And that she wanted you to send me down to her"
 Raided?" Mother Sarah sneered

 T don't know Frances answered She hung up before I could ask her,
 Hum" Mother Sarah reflected watching Frances with return of her former suspicion. Sounds fishy.,
 You can believe what you like" frances observed. "Only tell me the way down town,
 You ain't going down town" the women interrupted coldly. 'sYou,re going to stay right here with mep,

GOOD PAVED ROADS AN ESSENTIAL ID
 MAR|COPA COUNTY

Good permanent highways essential to prosperity" Under this caption the Manufacturers Record deals with the importance of good roads in a very striking way, as shown in the quota tion below:
 "A good highway means better civil ization. 1t means social and financial advancement. It means that the peo- pie who have been shut off from the social side of life by impossible roads and whose business interests. whether they are farmers Or merchants, are re- stricted by bad roads, now find that the pail resting upon them is being lifted. The good road opens up new sources of trade. It enlarges the opportunity for the farmer and consumer. It ad- vances the comforts of the women and children. Indeed 1t is one of the great est movements of modern civilization for the uplifting of the people.
 ''The good road means lessened cost of transportation. It means increased facilities for the automobile and motor truck for business purposes. In this day, when the railroads are breaking down physically under the pressure of freight in excess Of their facilities, good roads and motor trucks become, for the time being at least. the only possible salvation of the situation.
 tTt is not possible to build railroads rapidly enough to meet the demand for larger transportation facilities. But wherever good roads exist. it becomes feasible for the automobile and the motor truck to supplement- the rail- road. and, in many cases, to supple ment the need for enlarged railroad facilities.
 "The greatest economic factor in civ ilization since the building of the first railroad is the automobile and motor truck. They have literally revolution ized the world. Any section which fails to provide the roads needed in order to utilize this factor in business will inevitably retrograde in material and ethical advancement. Its peopfe Ur virility and activity, young and middle aged, will not remain in such d sec tion when larger opportunities for bus mess, for education and for social ad- vantages call so loudly from other sec tions, where the importance of good roads has been understood, and where the taxpayers have been willing to spend the money needed to build them.
 "Towns and communities cannot build railroads to meet the need for larger transportation, but they can build the improved highways which will be promptly utilized by individuals for transportation of people and O.
