But One Official War Cry.

I shouldn't be satisfled to settle down in the town where I've grown up and see the same things and the same People for the rest of my lite. You understand, don't you, John?” The repulsed John looked as if he { did not understand and did not wish to understand Janet's reasoning. The only thing in the world he could un- derstand was that he was In love with Janet. “No, Janet,” he answered, “I hardly think you can expcct much sympathy from me. If you'd marry me, I'd promise some day to take you abroad. I'd work hard and save; I know I could do it. Anyway, how can you go now? Your father can't afford to send you.” “Of course he can't; but I've got the best plan! You sce, there are seven of us—and I'm the oldest. And of course, with such a big family, mother has never kad time to keep up with the modern sort of seientific housekeeping. You know, 1 took a course in domestic science.” “Yes," admitted John. “Well, of course, I can see where there's a lot of wasted effort and money in this household,” continued Janet sagely. “Now, I'm going to keep house for a year and father says I can have what I save.” Janet hesitated to watch the effect of her startling statement on John, but the effect was not encouraging, and she went on: “In the first place, I'l dismiss the cook and the maid—they're jost ready to leave anyway. And 'l get one “l Work Too Hard, You Give Me More Money.” good, substantial servant and she and Il do the work. T'll save lots that way, and by superintending the cook- ing I'll avoid the waste and save a lot more.” Janet paused again, but John's ¢x- pression showed no sign of relenting co she went on: “You see, T'll get one servant say, $16 a month. We pay these I two $36 n month. That will be 220 a month -850 about a year, be- sldes the bourd of one of them- % a week, | should think. How wmuch I8 five times fifty-two?" “Two hundred and sixty,” volun- teered John glumly. “Well, there’s over five hunired, beside the saving of waste.

But in spite of all her discourage- ments and trials Janet bought a huge ledger and put down in it a defailed account of her finances. On one page she would put down fifteen cents for green corn seed, and on the opposite page she would make an entry of this sort: “I ought to get at least ten dozen ears of corn from this; and at twenty cents a dozen that would be —two dollars; two dollars would pay my fare from London to Windsor and back, or else it would pay for a drive around Parfs.” By fall, four or five months after she had started her scheme of econ- omy, Janet’s European trip was well worked out on the pages of her ledger. But she knew that the cov- eted trip was still a long distance ahead. One September morning as she was Wen-dim: in what remained of the gar- den she was musing uncomfortably on the fact that she had twice raised Lena's wages—ILena had added to her 25¢ Talcom Powder now going for . . 10 c We have bought a large quartity of this Talcum Powder in order 2 to give you the Special Price of 10c.
