The room was pleasantly reflect
ed in her mirror. 1t was designed to
make her feel happy: Silver-striped
chartreuse walls, apple blossom
chintz voluminously draped at the
windows, the huge venetian mirror
over the hearth where a small fire
sparkled, soft-shaded lamps with
pink cherubs for bases, pastel prints
on the walls, the thick rose rug on
the floor, the French furniture-it
all blended beautifully. 1t was a
luxurious room.
But luxury was something
Daphne could no longer afford.
Well, she had these things, and they
were paid for, but she wished she
could get over the feeling that she
had no right to them.
Daphne put down the hairbrush
and went to fix some supper for
herself, and set place at the kitch-
en- table. She used to set her place
in the dining spreading one
Of her fine cloths, putting out her
corn-fower Wedgwood, her Shelf
field caddy and thin silver. But,
lately, she'd found it cherries, eat
ing her lonely meal there.
Gentlemen in the tropics dressed
for dinner. The same principle
ought to do something for her mo-
rale. She decided against kitchen
and egg, put chop on to broil,
made herself a salad, and prepared
the dining-room place. She'd have
coffee in the living-room by her fire,
and have a heart-to-heart talk with
herself.
Maybe she was just tired, not
really depressed. She'd done a lot
that afternoon, fixing up the west
bedroom, putting up fresh curtains,
clearing out the closet. There we're

the effort hadn't tired her much.
The whole trouble was that she
didn't have enough to do to fill lone
ly hours, not even With Red Cross.
Tonight she would have been
glad to have someone to talk to.
She could, of course, go to the tele-
phone and ask some people up for
bridge, or she might go to see a
movie, but it was a stormy night,
and a long drive to the village.
The thought of her car sprang
into her mind in a cloud of dismay.
She hadn't counted its expense in
her calculations.

him to do.
A shutter banged against the
back Of the house; Daphne went to
the window and drew the curtains
close together. II had been raining
steadily for four days and now the
torrent was getting heavier, the
wind stronger. Something seemed
to shrek under the bay window. A
tree limb snapped with a crash. The
whole house was filled with sound,
with groans and whispers, the
mournful ticking Of the clock. Alan
had told her it would be like this.
Daphne got up abruptly and went
into the living-room where she put
a boogie-woogie record on her ma
chine. When that was done, she had
plenty of others, whole albums OF
noisy rhythms with which she
hoped to shut out her thoughts, and
the sounds of the storm, and was
very nearly succeeding when she
heard the back door open and slam.
The look Of inquiry on her face
froze suddenly.
There were heavy footsteps in her
kitchsn and suddenly they ceased.

Steve went over to the hearth and
knelt, poking at the slim fire, add

shining, dark oxfords and white
wooden sox. ("Did you ever NOTES

"Oh, Buff, you melodramatic child!

Nothing much. He's well settled

Buff wouldn't understand about
the echo of his laughter that
Daphne was beginning to miss
more than she would admit. And
he'd written:

Last night, after the letter came,
Daphne had called his name in her
dream, and felt his strong, young
arms around her, but she couldn't
see his face. She couldn't be sure
that it was Alan who answered her
call.

Housing Shortage

John B. Blandford, Jr., National Housing
Administrator, has addressed letter to mayors
Of all cities of more than $4,000 population
families will have to double up with other
families for living quarters in 1916, and that
fully one million Of the three million will be
families Of veterans. Furthermore. Mr.. Bland
ford adds a warning that there will be "a
continued tight housing supply next year."
AS quoted in an Associated Dispatch he
said that about one million families are living
doubled up now and that preliminary esti-
mates show that another 100000 families
must double up by Dec. 81, 1916, unless their
plight can be relieved by far greater volume
of new housing than anyone considers pos
sible." This would be beyond goal Of 49,
600 units hoped to be completed in 1916.
Saying at least million families of veter-
ans will have accommodations in the pres
emily occupied housing SUPPLY. Mr.. Bland
ford declared they won't find enough homes
unless cities establish some system of organ.
izing their housing supply and of giving veter.
ans preference in turnover.
''The first immediate task, then, is prob:
ably the establishment of adequate housing
referral services for veterans, linked closely
with any established veterans information
center so that a veteran can get as much
necessary information as possible at one cen
trail point
Mr.. Blandford suggested in his letter that
as step to curb imitation in prices of rev
and existing homes that cities establish ap.
praisal bureaus to give estimates of fair
values to all prospective buyers.
He said "the chief burden will fall on our
cities in handling the housing shortage, and
he asked that they plan carefully to stimulate
all possible construction along lines which
would best meet the problem.
While Mr.. Blandford places responsibility
for providing more housing upon cities, which
for the most part have completed many hous.
ing projects, it is not to Be overlooked that
private capital has an opportunity not only
to ease the shortage but to make reasonable
profits upon its investment.
Private capital naturally would 60 into a

than any municipal investment, which would
follow stereotyped styles which are not in

Must Cover Their Bets

Amidst these wars and rumors OF wars thai
come from so many sections Of the world
now that the great war is over, there is also
this matter Of loans to hard-hit nations te
disturb our peace.
It is important that some loans be made,
lest, when peace finally comes and nations
are ready to settle down to normal trade re.
wherewithal to buy what they need or produce
what we need and our trade goes the way
Of the dodo bird.
If the United States draws into its shell
and as never before tries to live to itself
alone, it will lapse into inertia, lacking com.
petition and incentive to outbest the rest Of
the world. Since We have the capital and re.
sources to aid our war Allies to re-establish
themselves on firm economic foundations, we
must come to their rescue, for selfish, as
much as any other, reasons. But we must be
mighty sure that while we are helping them
to get back on their feet we do not let them
undermine our own economic advancement
with our money.
There must be offered adequate security for
all loans and trade agreements which provide
as great opportunities in foreign commerce
as any OF the benefit nations will enjoy on ou1
capital. The loans need not be paid back
quickly or carry high interest Let them take
any reasonable time to meet their obligations
at the lowest interest rate ever in effect. But
never let us place ourselves in a situation
similar to that following World War when
our debtors repudiated their debts with the
exception OF little Finland and sometimes
Hungary, as Britain and France did

Certainly, considering the seriousness Of the

The charge is voiced by two senators, one
democrat, the other a republican, that this
is exactly what has happened and that as
consequence the investigation is doomed to
fail, even before it is properly launched.
If the charge is justified, the committee
might as well ask to be released without I'M
