dish was dried and put away, that
wasn't so bad, was it? How would
you like to do it every night"
She was in the act Of answering
the first question carelessly, off the
top of her mind, when the import
Of the second stopped her short.
Mother meant something by that
unless she was just teasing. She
didn't look as If she was teasing.
She didn't wait for an answer
there was just time for the look to
pass between them before she went
on. Because we're going TO try it.
I'm letting Norma 90. 1 gave her
two weeks notice this morning"
Edith wouldn't let herself under
stand. II thought Norma was pref
ty good" she said.
"Oh, yes" her mother agreed.
1--WE aren't going to try to get any
one else. We're going to do it our
selves for a while-make a picnic
of 1t like tonight"
Mother, has anything happened
to father? He hasn't-he isn't
going away or anythingT'
Her mother laughed as she said
no and hugged her. Hes gone into
a new business, that's all. We
hope it's going to make our for
tunes"
"Well, if it's going to make our
fortunes" Edith began, but her
mother interrupted.
Fathers resigned from the in
surance company. He had to, be-
cause the new business will take all
his time, and of course that means
his salary stops. And it may be
quite a little while before the
money from the new business
comes in. He didn't want me to let
Norma go. He said he didn't be-
lieve it would be necessary, but /
thought we'd rather begin now max
ing money go as far as we could,
than wait till we didn't have any.
1t makes it feel more as if we were
helping. l want you to look at 1t
that way, too, so that he won't
feel unhappy about it."
That was all reasonable enough,
of course. And if they were really
going to be rich in the end, of
course they wouldn't mind doing
the housework. Only mothers as
surance didn't sound convincing.
Why did she try so hard to keep
Edith from being frightened about
it, unless, down inside, she were
really frightened herself? She felt
herself turning perfectly cold in
side.
"You mean he won't have any
more salary at all?" she asked. He'd
always said-she'd heard him tell
her mother a hundred times-that
they had nothing to live on but his
salary.
His salary from the insurance
company has stopped"
And the other hasn't begun yet?
Mother, when will it begin?"
"Oh, we don't know exactly. Be
fore very long, we hope" The
words weren't so bad, but she
had tried to give a little laugh as
she said them, and the laugh didn't
work. Mother was frightened, too.
She didn't know when the new money
would come in. She didn't know
if it would ever come in at all.
But why did he do it, mother?
What made him-you didn't want
him to do it, did you? Oh, it wasn't
fair!" the girl cried in a sudden
burst of anger. 'It wasn't! 1 don't
care what you say! He hadn't any
right to do it. Mother, what are
we going to do?"

IMPROVED BUSINESS
Sentiment IS SHOWN
BY the Associated Press.

BY tNe Associated FItSS-
NEW YORK. June 1.-THE leading
weekly mercantile reviews agree that
business sentiment turned considerably
more cheerful during the past week on
the constructive developments in Wash
ington and in the banking world.
A considerable improvement in the
volume of retail trade throughout tie
country vas the principal constructive
development of the week. they reported.
The upward trend. said Bradstreet's.
was in seasonal lines due IN large part
to favorable weather. In addition there
has been evidence of returning conf
dence on the part of business men and
the purchasing public. brought about
largely by the knowledge that Congress
has made a definite beginning in the
balancing of the budget.
The rise in retail transactions, Brad
streets observed. is regarded generally
as a hopeful augury for the future,
Stocks are at a minimum and must be
repla ced. and taking advantage of this
wholesalers, jcbbers and manufa cturers
are busily preparing their lines and
sending out representatives to the
sources of distribution in the eXpecta-
ton that the growth will continue.
Dun's review commented with equal
optimism. declaring that constructive
measures carrying potentialities for
business expansion are making more
progress each week" This review added
that hesitancy is less in evidence in
some directions. and that further con-
fidence has been contributed by the
maintenance of improvement in the
banking situation and continued bet
terment Of credit conditions.
The encouraging effect of these
trends. it was stated. is reflected in
slightly heavier retail trade.

WHEAT PRICES DROP
AS DEMAND SHRINKS
Early Gains Are Lost in Final

out earlier gains
Trade in wheat was largely of pro-
feSSlonal character and to a noticeable
degree took its cue from fluctuations Of
securities. Crop comments from the
Spring wheat belt were generally IA
vorable and some Kansas reports sug-
gested that the Winter wheat yield in
parts OF that State might prove above
expectations. No important overseas
business in United States wheat was an
nounced.
Wheat closed irregular. "a of to Il

Crop reports regarding Winter wheat
east of the Mississippi attracted consid-
cradle notice. In particular, dispatch
from Jacksonville. Ill. was a subject Of
comment, as blowing up of wheat was
noted. a result Of severe damage by
HeSsian flv. It was added that wheat
which 10 days ago promised to yield Is
bushels an acre looked doubtful now for
even 10 bushels
Reversal of market position BY recent

traders.
