CAREENING Every woman knows the clutch of fear at her heart when the man in whose machine she is riding suddenly claps on a reckless burst of speed. He must be mad to court disaster thus, she feels. She knows disaster must come. If he is bent on his own destruction, or even if he thinks he can escape it, how cruel of him not to consider the lives of those dependent on him! Edith Ferrol wbuld have conquered her fear had it really been a careering automobile in which they were driving headlong to disaster. Physically she was no coward. But it was not physical disaster she was afraid of, when her husband told her he was planning to buy a car. It was the fear of utter economic ruin, the fall from even the little financial comfort they had achieved that she now feared penury for them all. For ten years Edith had stinted, scraped, eked and pared for herself and her family until she had become pinched in - her habits of economy. Every touch of extravagance in their lives had to be paid for in bitter deprivation; every cent spent in an emergency had to come out of some daily necessity. Now, of a sudden, her husband was proposing to spend money for luxuries not even dreamed of by her an auto

mobile apd a style of living that went with an automobile I "A car! Thousand dollars!" she echoed. "John, what can you be thinking of? You know we can't begin to afford it!" v "I know that - we can." he replied comfortably, enjoying her needless uneasiness. To him it had the effect of some worthy but hitherto impover ished beneficiary of his who cries, "It can't be true, this bounty of yours! It is too great happiness!" "But, dear, a thousand dollars! And that is only a beginning," Edith per sisted. "Yo.u will want a garage a bigger house, perhaps " church, members- of the church enjoyed a social last evening at the home of Rev. and Mrs. Erwin. The evening was spent informally and refreshments were served. Lieut. Ernest Hartman, of Bluffton. Ind... Is spending the week end with Lieut Charles Twigg at his home on South Fourteenth street. Lieut. Hartman and Lieut Twigg were located at Camp Lee, W. Va., for a number of months. Miss Maxlne Murray will arrive tomorrow from Nashville, Tenn, where she has been attending Ward Belmont, to spend the holidays with her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Omar Murray of South Fifteenth street. Mr. and Mrs. Carl Ullman will entertain the latter's parents, Dr. and Mrs. Gambetta Staff, of Meadsville. Pa., during the holidays. Mrs. Staff will arrive tomorrow and will be joined by her husband next week. Mr. and Mrs. W. W. Reller of South Fifteenth street will entertain the following out of town guests during the holidays: Miss Susan Shaw, of Selma, Ohio, who will arrive Tuesday, Mr. and Mrs. R. C. Harris and daughter Doro thy of Pittsburg, who will arrive Monday, and Mr. and Mrs. Edward Grant, of Lincoln, Neb., who came this afternoon. Mrs. Grant was formerly Miss Mabel Reller of this city. Mrs. A. D. Gayle returned Thursday from Kentucky where she has been visiting relatives.

She knew by his startled, involuntary smile that she had guessed his thought. "Why, yes, girl, we're going to get a bigger cage to live in. as the money comes in," he said, half impatiently. "Why, look here, Edith! Ned's heater is going to make us all rich- -" "It may and it may not!" Edith broke in. . "But you're already spend ing the money. It is inviting ruin!" Her husband sighed ; then with a more impatient manner than he in tended, he said : "Well, there s no use arguing with you. You seem de termlned the heater is going to fail. Now, I've got faith that it will sue ceed. What's more, I have the cash it has already brought in as our share. So I'm going ahead on my faith rather than your fears. If I took your view I'd lose my nerve .and ditch the whole undertaking." , '"But, John, dear," Edith persisted with rather pathetic tenacity, at the same time rooting once more from her desk the little household budget she had so carefully worked out, "sure ly $3,000 a year is enough for us four to spend for a while yet, until we see if" - ' "There you go again!" interrupted John impatiently ' "IF, IF, IF! . I tell you, Ede, you've planned all this as though we were still in the piker class. Economy's all very well, but parsim ony is another thing! Gosh-a-mighty! I hope you aren't going to develop into a skinflint, Ede, like old Benton's wife, and wear two-dollar ginghams to the country club and last year's bonnets! It's a funny situation a man trying to get his wife to spend more money!" Edith compressed her lips and made no reply. Only a women who has struggled with poverty for a dozen years could sympathize with what was passing in her mind. She felt that her $ 3,000 a year budget was amply planned. Yet John had merely iaughed at it! Not only that, but he continued to laugh at her economies. He took to bringing home expensive things for her J and for the children things that made what they already had seem grotesquely shabby by contrast. It hurt her that he took her protests quite casually, merrily even. Meanwhile he went on buying. Edith's sense of dignity was flouted, her vanity wounded to the quick. To be laughed at in one's serious efforts is worse than fbeing argued with. She found herself feling tense and hostile toward the man whose life she had shared eleven years. One evening Ferrol came in with sprightly step. "Well, Ede," he said, as Edith withdrew even further into hej shell, "I've said all I can to prove how foolish "you are ,in this matter of pinching and scraping. Now I'm going to show you." "You don't mean you've you've actually bought the car?" John pushed her gently toward the door. . "There she blows!" he cried, ignoring Edith's look of indignation. "That is our little old car coming up the road. You'll take to her after a while, Ede. She's a good little boat. Now, don't go taking all the joy out of her!" And down the path he went to speak to the artisan who was driving the machine. Edith bit her lip, turned and went up to her bedroom. (To be continued.) Probably the oldest nun in the Unit ed States is Sister Mary of St. Michael, of the convent of the Good Shepherd, in Newport, Ky., who recently celebrated her 100th birthday. rrt

difference in flour

quality now.

Don't misunderstand war milling regulations. They do not limit the quality of flour. That is up to the mill. The quality depends on the grade of wheat used and the method of milling. Valier pays premium prices to get the highest grade wheat. Valier's Com munity Flour makes much better baking than ordinary white flour, because it is made from such fine wheat and because it is milled with such care that slow, thorough milling method, and silk-sifting, that has made Valier flours famous everywhere. The price of Valier's Community Flour is regulated by the Government. It is more economical than ordinary flour, because it makes more successful baking and more baking per sack. Order a 24-lb. sack-ask your grocer.
