THE EVENING STAR. WASHINGTON, D. C. FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 16, 1928. Delia Deals in Obstacles. HE money quesiion had bothered Delia all her life; starting when che was a young girl, it had This time her lips were rather grim. She shut the account book with a bang and lo into her purse. Inside it, in the expensive leather case which had been a gift from her husband, Rob- ert. were exactly 2 postage stamps, 4 dollars and 10 cents. Delia shook her head as she closed her desk and as she glanced at Rob- ert’s photograph and also one of his mother she thought of the extrava- gance of both. It was because of his early bringing up that Robert was so strange about money matters. You see, Robert was a lecturer on economics at Barr University and thought he knew all about running a house. Naturally, an expert in economics knew how to keep what he earned. shop accounts were paid by check, at the end of the Of ready money Delia had practically none. She had askad again and again for a better system—Robert refused. He had thought it out, he said, and this was the result of his cogitations. Delia looked again at her “wealth"— something just had to be done—and it Id be done! tall and pretty; Robert was always reminding her of the fact that she was pretty, but if worry continted he would socn have reason to sing an- other tune Just at this point came into tl wail Yes?" said D “I have come I must have my leave on Saturc: At the end of half an hour Mary, had agreed to rcmain, provided her | wages were increased. “And now to break the news to| Robert,” said Delia to herself.

Delia weny on: “And furthermore, I am getting just a little tired of this financial system of yours. If I wanta toothbrush I have to ask you to write a check. I thought marriage was a partnership, but it seems to b a—a— ‘economic slavery.'” Then she ran out of the room and shut the door gently, for Mary was clearing the table. Even the satisfaction of banging the door was_ denied her. ‘That night they argued it over and over. Same result. Robert was per- fectly satisfied with the present system. In vain did Delia argue. She told how it costs more to paironize shops which wait for their money. “Very well,” said Delia, wearily. Her spirit was not as yet broken; she would do something to_disgrace him. Luckily she had several friends who could not sew; to them she went. Yes. of course, they would be so glad if she would make them hemstitched pillow cases and “pul monograms on.” Delia could sew beautifully. Home came a lot of things to make. As she drew the first threads from the linen for pillow cases she felt like a_criminal, but Robert She was sewing one moon when Robert came in. “What's that you -are sewing?” he asked suddenly.

On purpose Delia had left an_adver- tisement on the table_telling how to “earn money at home. He was now glancing at it. She understood why the anger. “Why?" His voice was crisp. “Hemstitching done by hand is far more effective than his siufl.” e: plained Delia airly, threading her needic nonchalantly. “Why does not Miss own sewlng?” The qu out. “Why should sh> when she can afford to hire it done?” parried Delia, with a fast-beating heart, but with unialtering voice. “Do you mean t9 s and outraged anhood was in Robert White's voice— do you meen to say that she asked you—you—to take in sewing?” Delia shook her head gently. “Oh, dear, no. I asked for, it,” Delia explained, with an air of a martyr, de- termining to say nothing unpleasant. “Delia!” He caught h-r hands, get- ting his priced in the action. “Damn that needle!
