Italy you may 'be sure the people will say: "That Is what we got from the war." A year ago FasclsM were saying: "The socialists are running the country. That is what we got out of the war." Employers added: ""Look at the wages. That Is what we got out of the war." Socialists blame the war for communists; communists blame the war for the right socialists, and the Polar or clerical party .blames the war most particularly for Giolitti and for the power of the Fasclstl. And everyone blames the war for the exchange. "See what Italy has

sunered, tney say. "We alone of all the allies have got nothing for our suffering but hunger and political intrigues."

dl Sconto one of the four largest banks of Italy has come a loud cry of "Back to Normalcy and Eeconstrucuon." Especlaly from the peasants, many of whom were depositors in the bank, come complaints against the past programs

and demands tor a new one. Apparency the most rapid way Italy sees of returning to normalcy to make up the difference in ex-h-ingei between the llres and English pounds or American dollars by doubling her hotel rates and her prices on every article a tourist from the Middle West of America

I could think of wanting on a vaca

tion. HOTEIjS IXCIIEASE RAT?. A year ago Americana complained

bitterly against this kind of welcome from Italy, but this spring Americans, like all other tourists,

are delighted If they can find a

hotel that will take them at any price. Second-class hotels raised their rates of 85 lire for room and board to 50, and when they were fllle-d the third-class hotels did the same. In a very dirty little pensione I

was told that the rate was now 50 Lire Instead of 25 as it was a month ago, and that If I didn't like the dirt I could go somewhere else, because there are plenty of other English who don't mind paying 50 lide for dirt and all, and that they would go out for their meals besides, rather than eat the food the hotel served at that price. I explained in my best Italian that I was an Americano and not English and that the hotel manager was a profiteer. Whereupon he burst forth indignantly against any American who objects to paying out any eum of money. That was only the beglnrJng of my conversations with Italians about exchange. As a matter of fact every Italian Is sure that Americans are burning with wealth, hut

after all there Is a friendly tone in ail their remarks about Americans.

ITALIANS ADMIRE AMERICANS. T hey admire America and Americans: they wish they could be as clever; they are proud of heir own great industrial city of Milan because they imagine it is "Just like America.'' and certainly

its streets af concrete apartment houses and factories seem very like new Brooklyn. N. Y. It ds when .Italians talk about the d-ifference between French francs and Italian francs or lire that they become bitter. One French franc wiil buy almost two lire. France returned to white hread while Italy was still eating dark bread. France had milk and b-utter while Italy was still hungry. "That." says the Italian laborer or the Italian business man. "la what Italy got out of the war." And usually he adds, "We should never have gone ln,' which after all is what most of Italy honestly thought before she went Into the war. They are anti-German even now, as a rerult of the war, but

Italian commerce understands only;

too well that her large commercial Interests used to be with Germany and Italian labor has not forgotten that Italy used to send her excess population out of the country nearly 1.000.000 emigrants a year, many of them, to Germany. BLAME MISFORTI XES OS WAR. Whatever misfortunes come to

Dear Mrs. Thompson: I have A friend who is very peculiar. She

is a musician and so she thinks she has a right to lay her bad temper to temperament. Her mother died about two years ago and since th'at time she has traveled quite a bit. She has one sister but she and her sister can't get along together two hours.' A year ago she came here I and stayed two weeks at our house.

I am a working girJ and work hard to make a living for myself and my mother. Mother has a pension, but even so we don't find it very

i easy to get along. This friend I made no plan to go away at the ' i i i i ...1- n .

ena oi tne two weens ana wni:e s.ie was with us she was very unreasonable to mother and me. She put her clothes in the wash for mother to do, she came down to breakfast

after the breakfast dishes were done, and she did everything one could think of that was annoying to mother. Mother thought it was wrong for me to work hard all day and have to support a girl of my own age just as able to work as I was and so she told my friend she would have to pay board if she stayed with us much longer. She explained that we were not in a position to have a guest for a long stay. After a week my friend went somewhere else, but she did not leave one cent to cover the expense she had been to us. She talked about us terribly after she left and there is no one in town who hasn't heard how mother and I treated he-. Now she has come back and she Is very unhappy. Her jaother left her some money, but through a bad investment that has been lost. She is really penniless and has no work. She wants to come and live with us. but she said nothing about paying. Any way we do not war.t her because she is too selfish to have in the home.

Don't you think her sister ought

friends who have already been the butt of her unkind tongue? MARIE. Indeed her sister is the one to help her. Do not sacrifice j;ur mother for a friend who has already shown her lack of gratitude. People with extremely selfish natures need knocks and hardships to teach them that others have their rights in the world too. Dear Mrs. Thompson: I am a voung man twenty-six years old. "For several months I could not find

work and 1 had to borrow :noney in order to live. Now I have a position which does not pay much, but I have been promised more money as soon as I become accustomed to the work. I have started in a business which is entirely new to me.

A while ago I met the most wonderful girl in the world. I loved her almost at first sight and I am sure she liked me too. She had a way of overlooking the fact that I didn't have work. We were together quite a bit and she never made me feel that she wanted me to take her places and spend money I called on her and we went walking and while I was with her I felt like a man with a future and not like a hopeless failure without even a job. Her mother has just died and she is left an orphan. Her poor little heart is broken and it makes me sick to see her so alone. Do you think I have any right to ak her to become engaged? Marriage would be impossible at present, but I would like to mean as m.ch to her as possible. FRED. At this time of sorrow it will mean a great deal to the girl to become engaged to the man she loves, and I think she loves you from what you have said i.i your letter. Even if you cannot marry, she 'will feel that she belongs to

some one and it will do much to
