Rents Now High.
There is no gainsaying the fact
that rents both for residential and
business properties seem high at
present levels because it is natural
for one to make comparisons with
previous conditions The standard
of living also has increased. and
while the average American family
is paving much higher rent than
was the case five or ten years ago
they are also surrounded by comforts
and conveniences which they did not
have previously.
Every expense in connection with
operating and maintaining a proper
ty has increased in recent years. and
this process will continue as long as
we have an abnormal demand for build
ings on one hand, and a restricted
labor market on the other. Any
acute or prolonged let-up in building
work. therefore, will adversely af-

way. Here is a scheme which may
help the domestic beginner to keep
up her stock of cooking and cleaning
materials, so that she may be sure
she is always supplied with every
thing she needs.
To begin with, sit down at your
desk some morning and make list
of every commodity you use In your
homework, classified in several
groups-staple foods (flour, rice, SUI
gar, beans, baking powder. etc.) !;
perishable foods eggs, cheese, fresh
vegetables, fruits, etc.), and last of
all such articles as soaps, starch.
cleaners, and the like. Be sure that
absolutely everything you use is on
this list.
On the first of every month. take
this list and check UP the staples.
Then order as much of each one as
you estimate will carry you through
the month. By laying in a months
supply of salt, sugar, cocoa, flours.
and other dry foods. you will be re-
lieved of thinking Of them at all
until the next month. Keep a record
of what you order, and If you find.
at the end of the month, that you
have ordered too much Or too little,
modify your next months order ac-
cordingly. At this same time. order
your months supply OF laundry and
cleansing materials, bathroom sup
plies, and all such articles.
This blanket order at the first OF
the month will clear your decks so
that all you will need to think of
from day to day will be the fresh,
perishable foods. You can dismiss
all the others from your mind. AS
most of US have a monthly account
at the grocer's, it costs no more to
order as much as possible at one
time, instead of ordering small guam
titles several times during the
month. In fact, by buying in larger
quantities, you sometimes get a low
er price, and the grocer will appre-
ciate This simplifying of his deliv-
cries.

He had known he loved her--loved
her more than he had ever loved
anyone else. But the sight of her
this afternoon had made him con-
scious of depth of passion such as
he had not known he could feel. For
a moment all he knew was that she
was there, that he held her hand n

spoke her name.
And then his exaltation received q
sudden check.
He rememb ered that she had said:

But that could not have been all.
That would not account for the swift
pallor that had come first to her
lovely face, nor for tho flush that
swept across it later, nor for the
light that sprang to her eyes.
The pallor might have been caused
by painful recollection of their last
conversation on tho night before he

could account for that look in hcr
