Her clothes, where would she
hang them? In some musty
closet where Eddie kept his
tobacco-scented garments?
"Dodie," she said, "you know
where I'll be living, don't
you?-In a few rooms at the
back of Mr.. Wallis's hardware
store. I've been there. It's a
terrible looking place!"
Her mother shrugged her
shoulders. But her eyes were
full of doubt and unhappinesS.
"You should have thought Of
all this" she murmured, "be-
fore you went out to meet
Eddie last night"
She closed the bags and
Sharlie strapped them. There
was nothing to do now but to
call Eddie and go away with
him.
She took one last long look
at the room that had been hers
for so long.
It was a white plain little
room. But it seemed very dear
to her at that moment.
"I feel just as if I were go
ing to sleep here tonight,
somehow" she said to Dodie.
Not many hours later they
were both to remember that
she had said that.

The flat never had had much
charm for Sharlie.
She always had been glad to
get away from it.
But it looked like heaven it
self to her that rainy afternoon
when she went back to it to get
her clothes. The rooms where
she had lived all her life were
like old friends all at once. Old
friends that she was leaving.
It'll keep thinking of you all
here tonight" she said to her
mother when the two of them
were in her bedroom packing
her clothes into two big suit
cases, land I'll be so home
sick"
"Oh, no. you won't! Dodie
replied, folding Sharlie's limp
little house-dreSses into a bag.
YOU'RE crazy about Eddie
and the two of you will have
the time of your life. This is
the BEGINNING of your honey
moon, Sharlie!"
But Sharlie was very grave
and quiet while she finished
packing. Her white brush and
comb and hand-mirror, how
would they look laid out on
that bare yellow oak dresser
that stood in Eddies room?

minute. Something between pity
and contempt was in her clear
eyes.
Then, with a Shrug of her
shoulders, she turned and
walked quickly out Of the room.
That afternoon Sharlie was
married to Eddie Wallis.
She was married at 2 o'clock
in the gray, dusty little office
of a Justice of the Peace while
the light fingers of summer
rain beat a tattoo on the dirty
window paneS and the sound of
the downtown traffic came into
the room like the roar of some
distant ocean.
All her life she had dreamed
of a wedding day of sunshine
and June roses. She had
dreamed of herself, all in cloudy
white, kneeling on a white satin
altar in a church. She had
dreamed of coming down an
aisle with her eyes on the face
of the man she was going to
marry
She looked at Eddie from the
corner of her eye. He was
nothing like the bridegroom of
her dreams.

home that would be hers came

NEW YORK, September 9.-The ad-
vance of tin since March /, from 1920
cents pound to around 45 cents. has
been brought about by exchange duc-
tuations, improved statistics, increased
consumption and prospective imitation.
A chart of tin prices and sterling
fluctuations over the last six months
shows a striking relationship. Indeed
on days when sterling quotations were
unavailable, due to British bank holi-
days, it was virtually impossible to get
tin quotations in this market which
always follows the trend in London.
The London-New York relationship
is further stressed in that, almost ton
for ton, as stocks declined In the United
Kingdom, American deliveries or ware
house stocks here increased. e.
Deliveries Reach Peak. -
Tin deliveries into this country last
month reached 5000 tons. the highest
on record for any August. In part.
these huge imports reflect increased
consumption and in part widened
speculative interest in the commodity.
Some Wall Streeters frankly state they
would rather have tin than dollars"
Stocks Of tin in local warehouses
approximate 1,183 tons, which contrasts,
with 1,205 in early March and with 596
tons on May /. Recent dullness OF
demand here, despite bidding up Of
the metal in London, reflects the belief
that sufficient supplies are on hand to-
last for some time, but tin IS one metal
that goes into such cross-section OF ,
industries that it may truly be said To
mirror general trade conditions. 80
Tin plate manufacturers roughly use =
from 80 to 35 per cent OF all OF the.
metal delivered into this country. In :
view of the reduced packs of fruits
and vegetables last year-bankers re-l,
fused to finance canners-the can@'
manufacturing industries have been.
unusually busy this season. Surplus
canned goods stocks have been whit
tied down to insignificant amounts and
Gamers, within the limits permitted
greater activity. -
World Output Reduced.
World visible supplies of tin In
August, 1926. aggregated 13,300 tons.
BY March. 1929, they were 26,000 tons,
In July. 1881. they were 81. 700 tons.
This gain of 283 per cent in world
visible, supplies in five years resulted
in the formation Of the international
Tin Committee, which consists Of Ma
lava, Bolivia. Dutch East Indies,r
Nigeria and Siam, producers Of nearly
90 per cent of the world tin. -.
Shrinking the world visible tin SUPP
ply from LOO tons TO around $4,000
tons in a period which, up to five
months ago, was one Of decreasing CON-
sumption, explains why delegates at the
international conference in London
were anxious to see the tin pool ex.r
tended beyond its expiration date, Au--
