AMY WRITES JORDAN. Chapter 43. Amy Talbot made her decision. Without knowing it, it was the firrt really independent action she had taken for many years. Before, a problem was decided by precedent Jordan's mother, her mother, the neighbors, custom, had done the thing, so, and Amy did it so! Or Jordan decided for her. And Joidan's word was always law. Somehow it never occurred to Amy that anyone would oppose a contrary will to Jordan's. Young Amy was the first when she flatly refused to return home at her father's order.
Amy's mother knew now that Jordan
could be defied or, at least, disagreed with.
She went over to the desk In the
living room a kitchen table enamelled black and painted with tiny Chinese figure in blue, gilt and coral by an
artist friend of the family. A row of
books sat against the wall, on a shelf
above was another row helping disguise the origin of the desk. A blot
ting pad of coral color with bright lac quired tin edgen. given by Claire, com
pletPd the disguise. It was a gay and
frivolous desk from which to write a serious letter. And its ultra-modernism was In strange contrast with the quaint, bent Id figure which sat before It. Amy picked up the pen. a long green quill which little Amy used, n. quill two feet long, whoso length helped her write the splashing, scrawling handwriting sho was adopting. It was impossible to write a serlouf letter, or a meek and dutiful letter with ruch a pen. It wa3 meant to send out invitations to tea, to write acceptances for theatre parties, and for nothing more sober than that. Yet Mrs. Talbot wrote a serious let ter, surrounded by examples of Amy's frivolty. Jane's modern philosophy and Luther's pipe. "My dear husband," she began, that seeming a dutiful way of opening a letter, "I am sorry you feel the way you' write. I can't go back Just yet. Maybe by and by, but not now." , There was a pause while she read oer what she had written. The Ion1? quill made writing hard and she was not. an experienced writer. "I know where my duty is and it is here Amy Is too pretty to leave ajone in a city full of strange men. A lot come around after her now and ) don't like them all. And Jane has more ideas now than when she was
home, and Luther ain't happy. I hear from the neighbors that you are well looked after. 1 "Anyway, you want me to come back to a freezing cold house, after I have been in a comfortable one." She paused awhile, contrasting the two places. At home in the winter they cooked, washed, ate and sat in the kitchen, where the kitchen stovo kept the air more than warm. Ths other rooms were cold, the bedroom seemed particularly icy when, shivering, she slipped off only part of her clothes and rolled herself into a flannel nightgown, to keep off the freezing touch of the sheets. Here her room though scarcely larger than the couch she slept on, was warm in an instant when she turned on the radiator! ' I've never told you all thi, but I'm going to now,' the pen scratched on. ns Amy grew eloquent under a sudden sense of her wrongs. "But you have been too mean to pay for enough coal to heat the house with stoves, much less put in a system that would heat from a cellar. You wouldn't even put a boiler on the kitchen stove, so I could have hot water for washing. You wouldn't put in a bathroom or any sort of plumb ing to make the work easier; you wouldnt even buy me a washing mahir.o. They ran the wires as far as Holland's and It wouldn't have cot much to carry them on to our place, but you wouldn't spend that."
Amy was writing fast now, her mouth set in a tight line, teeth biting her lower lip, as the sense of her
wrongs began to come over her! "You have been so mean and narrow vour children have turned against you.
Tbey are going to go to the other ex trome, just because, like other people, they are contrary'- We're all contrary So am I. "But I am doing this for you. as

am around and have given me reasoa to suspect things. Lately I have been hearing that he and sister go walking together and have been seen in the picture show together. The friend who told mo said that at first she thought nothing of It, but then she felt there was something wrong, and I ought to know.
When I have asked when we were to be married my fiance would teil me in a vague way that It would be sometime. Of course, that is not a very satisfactory answer. Do you' think it would be all right to confront him with my suspicions and the rumors I have heard, and to tell him that if he loves sister now instead of me, I want to know the truth and will willingly frfe him from his engagement with me? I am not happy as things are now and I really
feel that things would be better if ! had my freedom again. TOM BOY. I think it would be very' wise to talk the matter over with your fiance. It must grive you deeply to lose faith in two people you love so dearly. Indeed, you will be happier free than engaged to a man who no longer loves you.
The elbows need special care. In these days of short sleeves, the elbows are always needing some sort
of special care. They are so much exposed and so much rubbed that dirt and dust is grimed into them and the amount of scrubbing necessary to keep them clean drie3 them out so that they become chapped and only pick up more grime than they did before. The elbows must be treated with cold cream or with olive oil. This will keep the skin so soft and smooth that it is less likely to lake up the same amount of dirt. If you are stout so that the elbows are round and smooth you will never have very much trouble with them. But If you are tallunderweight the skin over the elbows will seem to be stretched and loose and to fall into all sorts of ugly lines and wrinkles. So, if you are thin, you must expect a certain amount of trouble in keeping the elbows pretty. You can make them, plump by rubbing them with warm cocoa butter every night. Or if you do not want to do this you can
try the old fashioned method of sitting with your elbows in a saucer of

Ton and Half Yield of Hay to Acre Made Farmer Profit COLUMBUS, 0 Dec. 27. Ten Tort-
j age county farmers who kept books jon their 1921 hay crop find that they jmade something on it when (heir i yields ran above a ton and a half an
acre. Yields less than that had oo high a unit cost for profit. The, figures have been compiled for all 10 farms by aid of the department of rural economics, the Ohio State university. The average farmer got yields of 1.7 tons to the acre, and it cost him $10.68 a ton to raise the hay. He sold it for from ?12 to $16 a ton.

Chicherin's offer to recognize the pre-war foreign debts if the entente powers will grant Soviet Russia recognition had no stabilizing effect on Bolshevist money. The American relief administration child-feeding, and the announcement that warehouses will be established by the Hoover organisation to supply food packages on drafts sent from abroad have not checked the rising price of bread and economists say it will continue to rise until the next harvest and the famine will be far worse next spring than it is now.
