In another part of town. a humber
part, small square window framed
another picture-a rown-walled kitch-
en- where the copper glowed in the
rays from lamp on the red-checked
table. The old man and the old wom-
an nodded in their chairs. His stock
inged feet were stretched upon a foot
stool and their wooden shoes rested
beside him on the floor. AS her
fingers loosened from the knitting
needles, the half-made sock slid gen.
thy from her lap. The stars chuckled
and skipped to get out Of the way OF
the new moon who came to watch
the last part of the drama in the viz
lage. And when she saw a girl, who,
wide awake, dreamed of a sweetheart

Then from the cathedral tower the
midnight melody of the carlton put
the girl to sleep.

Now in the plain of Brabanconne
lies the village. mangIed and charred.
It's narrow streets find their tortuous
way among the crumbling walls and
summer twilight lays a gray pail over
the broken homes. The flowers that
gave their sweetness are faded and
the tongues OF their vendors are
dumb. Sadly the stars gaze through
the night mist, tear-dimmed eyes that
search the blind windows in vain.
The people they knew laugh no more,
for their dreams, their loves, and their
lives are withered. The waning moon
seeks the tower and finds but a shat
tered wreck, voiceless to utter the
dirge that stirs deep il it's heart.
Still some of the stone saints smile.
but the twist of their lips is ironic.
The bells that had sung through the
years. that had blessed the joy of the
people, cried their last note in pain
as they crashed to the foot Of the bel
fry.
And the ruined village is mute; it's
tragic doom goes unknelled for the
voice of the chimes is dead.

In a little town in the plain of
BrabancOnne. the summer twilight
filed the winding streets with shad-
ows. Over the cObblestones, bright
checked girls in wooden shoes, blue
dresses, and red kerchiefs trundled
their two-wheeled carts of flowers.
The scented breeze was cool. Here
and there lights began to CLEAN be-
hind the windows of the narrow, peak
rooted houses. The tower Of the
cathedral rose against the sunset sky
like a misty dream and yet a dream
immoyable. It's sculptured saints
smiled on the peaceful land. All was
quiet in the happy silence that ends
a day we'll lived
Then with the stealth Of fairies the
tiny notes played in the air. Softly

WEST FLANDERS
BYKATHARINR EGGLEsToN ROBERTS



Copyright 1920. Western Newspaper Union)
There's wide bare field where ghostly trees
Plead for the mercy of Heaven
They lift their broken and sigh
Against the pitiless cold, gray sky,
But their prayers are hushed in the cloudy seas,
And the crows are flying over.
In the desolate waste, the shell-pits gap;
Their wounded lips bleed peoples.
They trimmed with rusted guns and swords
With bits of cloth and broken boards,
And their waters mirror the broad wing-hap
Of the crows that are flying over.
Ger the battle plain, there's fierce race
Of the death birds seeking booty.
Together they rush and dip and dart
In the midst of the bleak fields aching heart,
There's lonely that marks the place
The black crows swooping over

HOUSEHOLD BUDGET
BEATS The HIGH PRICES
Actual Experiments Show That High
Cost OF Living Can Be Kept Down
BY Careful Buying.

The key to the reduction OF the
High Cost of Living seems 10 con-
sisG;in two things: First, do not buy
a lot of high priced articles simply
because someone else is doing so,
and secondly, use care in making
your purchases. Wherever the plan
has. been used Of doing ones own
buying it has been found possible 10
save from ten TO twenty-five per cent
in the costs. Up in a Pennsylvania
city,: larger than Cambridge, a cash
store was opened, the other mer-
chants, who had been delivering
free of charge, extending long credit
etc., were dumfounded at first and
thought they would almost have 10
go out of business.
But one of tie level-headed mer-
chants, who realized that the great
er part of his costs were going into
delivery charges and interest, 1igur-
ed that, if the public would deal at
his store, on the same basis as they
did at the cash store he could sell
just as cheap or cheaper.
So he wrote all of the various or
CARNATIONS, the Woman's Club, the
Board of Trade, and particularly all
OF the organizations to which women
belonged and asked the opportunity
of talking with them about higE
prices. When he said high prices
he promptly received in invitation

When he met them he made this
proposition: 1 will guarantee to sci

The budget system is being used
| successfully by four women and four
men in an experiment in household
| economies to combat the high cost
OF living.
The experiment has been in pro-
| gTesS since September. The women
! are social workers, and the men are

al pursuits. All desire their idcnti-
ties undiscloseG.
| Each person contributes SO week

| amount an average of 5000 is eX-
pended on food. The average cost
| Ct a meal, per person, is $50. The
| balance is made TO pay for light,
heat and rent: the services of a
| Itaid cook, laUndress and u man to
co the chores.
They are healthy individuals with
FORMAL appetites, and they intend
| continuing the experiment indeti-
| nitely. In fact, the lady-in-charge
| cf-the-budget indicates she didn't
care 10 fall back on upon the happy
go-lucky method of housekeeping.

variety and all we care to eat.

eggs, for instance. In town they are
selling at 81 a dozen, but we pur-
chase them out of town and pay only
$.S5 a dozen.
Last September, when we start
ed our experiment, each one con-
tributed SIS for household utensils.
All the curtains are alike and were
Eaid for out of the budget. A short
while ago we purchased a few
bushels of potatoes, paying $3.50 a |
Eushel. The freight from out OF
town cost $50 additional. In town
potatoes were selling at So a bushel. |
To a great extent we have found
the high cost of living the fault of

iy high prices rather than do her

day and Sunday we eat three meals

OF course our menu varies. But
today for breakfast we had cereal, |
