( ffS'M Two Wall-Flower Girls By Winifred Black

Sitting by my fire these winter days, while there is a little quiet, 1 am thinking of two girls, Margie and Louise. Margie sat there only a few minutes ago with her head resting on the arm of my chair, and told me why there is sometimes a cloud resting upon her beautiful young face. She is a bright girl. Just out of her school days, not quite 19, and she has a happy home, except for one thing there are no brothers and sisters. Margie was an only child, and I sometimes think that is why she finds it so dlificult to "mix" with other people, and she has a chum who is for alPthe world Just like her. These girls are both attractive, they are good dancers, but for some reason, Margie tells me with a really tragic look, she and her friends, when they go to little parties and dances, are regular, out-and-out wall flovers. "It Is not beaux I'm after, I only want to have ordinary good times like most girls of my age," says Margie. "What is the reason that whenever Kate and myself go to a dance we generally imitate two statues unless wo get out on the floor ourselves and dance together and we have to consider ourselves lucky if one man asks for a dance? "Don't tell me to take up some serious work and, outside of business hours'. Improve my mind, and then perhaps when I'm about 2 5 some Prince Charming will come on the scene. I want to be happy right now, so that when I get to be 40 I can look back with pleasure on the time when I was 19, even if I am an old maid." Tlio Strange Contrast. "Sure enough, Margie." I said and I kissed her and what could I say? I can't tell what is the matter, but I don't believe it's going to last very long, this kind of isolation, for a girl so sweet and fine as Margie. Some day she will meet one or two persons, other girls maybe, or young men, who will take a fancy to her, and then the whole trouble will be over. Margie will laugh and talk. with the others and, who knows, she may suddenly become the fashIon in her little set. I think she is a little shy, and shyness means, perhaps, thinking too much about the Impression one In making. Some day Margie will find herself the center of a laughing, gay group, and she'll forget all about herself and her difficulties, and everything that troubles her will be blown away like a whiff of smoke that is, I hope it will be. Night is coming on, the dog has come in and lain down by the fire, the cat Is mewing at the door to be let in, and a new log has been put upon the fire and somehow I think of another l'J-year-old girl. Louise Is a gay, joyous creature. the life of every little group; she is clever and welcome wherever she goes, but at home she lives under an Iron rule which sees no charm in youth and does not rejoice in it.

REVELATI0NS0F A WIFE "THEIR SECOND HONEYMOON"

DICKY A YD MADC.C STAUT OY THEIR "SECOND HONEYMOON." Together! with the world shut out! This, the paradise for which all true lovers long, has been ours Dicky's and mine for a week, our "second honeymoon" .as Dicky insists upon calling It. And to me it has had a poignant ecstasy which even the delirious happiness of our first "honeymoon'' lacked the ecstasy of a bliss restored which I had thought forever lost. I think 1 can understand the feelings of the condemned prisoner, who, within an hour of his execution, learns that he has been proved Innocent, that he is free to go wherever he wishes, with no stigma upon him. I Know that I could never appreciate the happiness of the last week so truly had I not so nearly lost my husband. But now, so potent is the power of present happiness to banish the memory of past pain, the terrible suffering I underwent while Dicky was in San Francisco, estranged from me, seems like an awful night mare from which I have awakened. The suffering of those weeks will not be wasted, however. It has been given me to know in these last blissful days that if ever again in my life with Dicky I am tempted to rebel, as I have so often done, against his impetuous temper, his unreasoning jealousy, I shall remember the anglish of those weeks of separation from my husband and heed the lessons of forbearance they have taught me. Tho Days of Retrospect. Through my mind there Moat the memories of the old days, the first jear of our married life together, when every happening held a possibility of a quarrel because of the great difference between Dicky's artittic temperament and my "schoolma'am" ways. With Lillian Underwood now even more my friend than Dicky's, happy In the poia-

OF VOMEN

She lives In a family dominated by her father, who is an old man. and a crabbed one, and in the house where this poor girl lives there Is nothing Joyous or in any way attractive. It is a house full of quarrels and envy, of periods of sullen silence, and other periods of loud quarrels. Out of this place, which she cannot call a home, It is natural that Louise should want-to go as often as she can. She is at work all day and happy in her work, but when she gets back to her gloomy family the sun ceases to shine, and then, when he goes to spend the night with her chum or to some little dance among her friends, she gets the most terrific scolding. It seems to be the plan in her family to crush out every bit of life and happiness that dares to show its head. How can such things be! How is it that these people, who have certainly once been young, do not remember what it is to have the bounding life of youth pressing for expression? Why do so many people make of home a kind of Jail for their young folks? Louise looks upon her father as a sort of cross, crabbed Jailer, and for her mother she has little but sympathy and pity, for the poor mother has become fretful and nagging, and it is the custom of the family to be as disagreeable as possible, though I don't believe they realize it. They have Just absorbed the atmosphere of sullen, crude disagreeableness from the head of the house. What a responsibility these parents have taken upon themselves in crushing life and joy out of the house and at the same time taking the carelessness sweetness of youth out of their children! 1 can't have any patience with them. Clouds Turn to Radiance. But Louise has a wise little head of her own, and she endures conditions around her with wonderful grace. T believe she finds in herself strength to endure disagreeable conditions through being a very kindly and helpful girl herself. She'll get out of this environment some day, and. whatever happens, Louise can be trusted, even though her crabbed old father doesn't realize it. I love them both, Margie and Louise, and that's the only way I can help them. I suppose there are many girls like them in the world. and that Is why I write about them here. Margie will get along all right, but poor Louise can't get rid of her crabbed old father as Margie will get rid of her shyness and selfcensciousness in a little while. But everything does not happen in a day; the cloudy morning may turn out radiant, and at 19 nothing is so very bad to endure as long as the heart is whole and sound and the life straightforward and courageous. There, the lights are on, the house begins to sound with the incoming rush of life, and, sending a good thought to each of these girls, I must turn to my own affairs. sion of her long-lost baby girl, restored to her through the death of her first husband, whose nwther she is caring for. With Harry Underwood gone perhaps never to return on a trip to South America with my father whose use of the name "Robert Gordon" still mystifies me. With Dicky's mother on a visit to Jier daughter. Jack Bickett, my cousin-brother, joyful in his r.ew-found love o fKatherine Sonnot. whom he met when he was recovering from a wound received "somewhere in France." Dr. Pettit whose thoughts of love for me used to trouble me safely my good friend now. Grace Draper who had tried to destroy my happiness in Dicky so often that her very name seemed like a sword hanging over my happiness now gone out of our lives. With many of the problems of that ecstatically happy, and as frequently miserable, first phase of our married life behind us. the future seems to promise much of joy for Dicky and for me. It is a week today since Dicky brought me home home to the firelit warmth, the homely comfort of the old farmhouse at Marvin. And with the exception of one afternoon when we went up to the city I to give my weekly history talk to the Lotus Study club, he to attend to some necessary studio affairs I have hardly been out of my husband's sight. We have walked and talked. . eaten and drunk, read and played, always together, an exquisite companionship that will always be a precious memory. Is Dicky Getting Rotless? For marriage has taught me that days such as these have been are white days, rare gemJn one's rosary of time, only comparable in bliss to the days of one's betrothal and marriage. They are delicate things, too, so fragile that a word, even a look, at the wrong time will mar them days to be guarded zealousJv that

their sweetness and fragrance may be preserved Intact. My life with Dicky has taught me other things, also. Among them the evanescent and effervescent spirit of the man I married. He tires of any situation quickly, becomes easily bored. For that reason I have been watching him carefully to detect the first siern of restlessness on his part. The fetter that bind Dicky to matrimony must be silken, so fine that he does not detect their presence. It is for this reason that this nomine I pleaded the excuse of household rtuties and did not accompany Dicky on the walk he proposed. I may be mistaken, hut it seemed to nie that there was something in his manner when he suggested the walk that spelled restlessness to me. If I am right, if he Is beginning to tire ever so slishtlj, een though unconsciously, of this rustic idyl of curs, then it is high time for me to devise some tactful method of getting back to the ordinary verities of life. I have sat by the living room fire ever since Dicky left, taking stock of myself and of the problems which have come to me since my marriage, trying to discover wherein I have failed or have succeeded as a wife. The pitfalls have been many In the year just past. I realized that God has been good to me and I feel exceedingly humble, as if I ought to try very hard to deserve my restored happiness. How the months have flown since the day I put my hand In my husband's and promised to love and honor "in sickness and in health until death does you part!" And what heights of Joy ,what depths of sorrow my soul has touched since then! From the vantage point of experience I have gained, I look back with tender, amused pity upon the girl I was a year ago, the girl, who, sneering at marriage, afraid of it, totally unfitted to cope with Its problems, had yet for love staked her whole future, her very life, in the lottery of matrimony. And I ask one question of that girl, who was myself: "If you could have looked Into the troubled days that were before you, would you have rlked marriage with Richard Graham?" I do not need to wait for the answer. I have weighed the question carefully many times. I know, "beyond all doubting, truly," that my husband is the one man in the world for me, that my love for him has outweighed all the suffering. One other thing I know as I rise to my feet and go to meet my husband. It is that the words which rushed to my lips upon my wedding day, "I will be happy! I will! I

will were not the ones I should have uttered. It is another prayer, a better augury of the unknown Paths still to be charted, that I am whispering now: "Please God, I will make Dicky happy!"

at Ellsworth's during this Sale The DRY GOODS ECONOMIST of January 25, 19 19, prints the following on the linen situation. This is the reason why we urge you to buy Linens during the present special prices we are quoting:

LINEN SITUATION

Lack of Russian Flax May Halt Production of Goods. Imports of linens during the last fewweeks have consisted chiefly of Scotch toweling supplemented by small quantities of bleached Irish linens. FVoduction has been increased in the bi Belfast mills, but not in the same proportion as the demand in practically all of the Allied nations of the world. Therefore, while American importers are making insistent demands for increased shipments of goods, the Irish manufacturers have not been able to seni us the goods asked for. What of the Future ? Speaking of the present state of the linen industry, one of the leading New York importers said: "Linen manufacture in Ireland is under Government control for good and sufficient reasons. Prices for flax, for yarns, for weaving are fixed and will continue at present levels until July 1. By that time it is hoped that it will be possible to forecast the future supply of flax and thereby make possible a more extensive manufacturing program for the future. "Everything hinges now on what happens in Russia. Three-fourths of the world's sup

W. Eldredge, chairman, Abe Frank, A. L. Hubbard, Chris Fassnacht and Herman Tohulka, seeing the need of immediate action that will bring about tho realization promptly of the great housing requirements confronting this community, have adopted the plan of having each member proceed at the earliest possible tim) to visit some one city which ha? successfully met tho needs of it similar condition. Among such cities so to be investigated are Akron, O.; Flint. Mich.; Rridgeport, Conn., ard Kenosha, Wis. A separate written report will be .submitted covering various features most important of jvhich are the directing and management, financing, building and selling of homes, and the enlistment of th many elements that entered into the successful effort. These reports will be carefully considered, from which the committee will submit recommendations to the beard of directors of the Chamber of Commerce that will give conclusions that should enable them to effect an efficient permanent organization to insure the accomplishment of the work to the maximum capacity of our facilities and avoid the errors and resultant lofses of thope communities from tthese exoerience we should profit. Wants Immediate Action. "The committee begs that serious thought and prompt action will be necessary upon the part of ajl people of this community, who are requested to submit suggestions and recommendations as may occur to them and send them In writing addressed to the housing committee.

"In order to assist this committee in its endeavors, it Is requested that organizations such as bankers, retail and wholesale merchants, real estate, labor, attorneys, physicians, professional men, building and loan associations, material and supply, ministerial association, architects, contractors, carpenters, plumbers and building trades, also social and business clubs, public utilities, city and county officials, should make this a special matter of consideration at a regular or special meeting and submit their conclusions within the specified time, thus giving this committee the result of their combined experience and the sentiment of the community which will greatly facilitate matters. Mut ICnllst All Force. "The stupendous undertaking of providing 4,000 new homes within our city in the next two years, onehalf of which must be accomplished this year, can only be brought about by enlisting the entlro forces of our community In this work. The committee feels that all public spiritod people who participate in any way In either the labor or furnishing of materials or facilities for this project must avoid any inclination toward excessive profiteering which will be the aim of this organization to avoid. Realizing a proven experienced and successful working directing head is needed for this undertaking, it is intended that tho very best talent in that field will be employed to work under control of the permanent organization soon to be effected. Investigations looking to such a connection are underway and expected to be arranged shortly. Ak Reports IYnm People.

ply in flax fiber comes from Russia, most of it from the region bordering on Germany. If the people of this region plant flax this spring and plant it in the usual pre-war volume, there should be an ample supply next fall and winter. But there is a movement on foot to devote much of the ground formerly devoted to flax growing to the raising of foodstuffs. There is also much unrest due to the activity of various lawless demerits. It may be that little or no flax will be grown in Russia this year. What then? " Will Russians Raise Flax? As h? been explained in the ECONOMIST on more than one occasion, the production of linens to meet the world's needs has long been dependent upon the Russian flax crop. If the Russian people are to raise a crop this year they must soon commence the necessary preparation. As yet, nothing has been Jone and there is no prospect of any planting of flax in the immediate future. If the Russians do not raise a substantial quantity of flax, the Irish linen industry must depend on the flaj; raised in Great Britain, Holland, Belgium and France to supplement the stocks that have been held by the British authorities. Because of the uncertainty as to thr future, the opinion is expressed in wholesale linen circles that two years or more may elapse before linen manufacture will again be on a normal basis.
