' Julia (Iront y,m faced with the
Jiroblem of going on with life after
icr lover had Jilted her tor another
woman. Hhe suffered Intensely and
finally went Into a hospital to study
nursing. Then the great utteipccted
happened and Dan Carson enmo hack
and nsked her a second time to marry
him. Julia, with her heart still sore,
gave him her promise and then dis
covered that nhe had fallen In love
with another man. Dr. John Norvlllc,
the head surgeon. Thl realisation
frightened her nnd she left the hos
pital and tried to hurry her marriage
to Pan. Imagine her surprise, when
she discovered that her younger sister,
Lucy, had fallen In love with Dan.

engagement. That fact was quite
evident when Julia spoke to Mm the
next evening.
"Dan," sho snld suddenly, "you're
quite sure that you want to go on with
this thing?"
"Oo on with it our marriage you
mean?"
Julia nodded.
He turned white. "Julia, has any
thing happened? You're not going to
break your promise to me. are you?"
Ills faco was shaking, lits largn hands
had closed until the knuckles stood out
white. He was going through some
powerful emotion. It astounded Julln.
She had not dreamed that Dan oared
like that.
Impulsively Rhc laid her hand on his.
"Don't, Dan. I asked because I want
ed you to be sure. Of course, I am
not going to brenk my promise, but I
wondered If we were suited to enrh
other. I guess," she said, laughing
nervously and wetting her lips, "a girl
always thinks of things like that the
last minute, ond there isn't very much
time left, is there. In our case?"
"Not much, thank fiod!" he said
earnestly. "And I won't feel safe
Until you are really mine. I have a
strange feeling that even now some
thing is going to como between us,"
Julia tried again in a few minutes.
She felt impelled to do so by the mem
ory of Lucy's miserable llttlo tear
stained face.
"I wonder whv you did not fall In
love with Lucy, Dan. She is so much
more vour type than I am."
"What makes you say that?"
"Oh, she is. She doesn't believe In
being" Independent and nil that, and
she's so fond of you."
"Lucy's a child."
"I know sho Is. but men like chil

molded to their Ideas of -what she
should be."
Dan did not seem to be impressed by
what Julia had said. In his heart of
hearts he wos confident of his ability
to convince her some day that she wns

but Julia was the woman of his choice.
And so the promise that Julia had
made Lucy to sound Dan came to
nothing.
Lucy had gone to a concert with her
mother and father that evening and
when she returnrd Julia's door was
closed and locked. Although Lucy
knocked softly and spoke Julia's name
several times, Julia did not answer.
She was lying there in bed wide awake,
but she did not know how to tell Lucy
that she had had no success. It was
all Biieh an Impossible state of affairs,
so tangled up nnd with so many angles,
and the days were so few now in which
she belonged to herself. Soon would
come the daj s when she would be Dan's
wife, when she would live in his home.
She nnd Dan had talked over their pros
nectlrr finances nuite freelv and they
hud even looked at apartments. It
wasn't Dan's manner to say that he
would have such and such on Income
nnd that he could afford to give her so
much out of it for an allowance. Julia
soon saw that for every penny she
would have to go to her husband and
that Dan rather looked lorwaru to we
idea of posing as the generous husband.
He had no faith at all in woman's
ability to handle money, and although
his salary was ample and Julia would
have plenty, she was to be treated like
a baby concerning money matters. Julia
lay awake tlilnKlng ot these tnings lor
hours, it seemed. She beard the clock
downstairs strike several times, and
sundry souuds came from the back of
the bouse, the opening of windows, the
cries of cats, and once in a while the
sound of Mary turning her Ueavy body
restlessly in the next room. Julia did
not know when it was that she finally

Granulated Sugar
The sugan situation lias reached such a critical stage,
that we feel a word of explanation made directly to our
customers is in order.
Of one thing you may be certain sugar is not available
in sufficient quantities, else we would have it.
Today and for some time past the sugar supply
of the nation has been under the direct control of the Sugar
Equalization Board, appointed by the Government, to look
after the 'situatio7i.
At the present time their allotment to us is about
TWENTY PER CENT, or ONE-FIFTH of our requirements.
You can readily appreciate our position ttvc are power
less. Our managers and clerks are doing all in their power,
with the small quantity they receive, to make an equitable
distribution, so that all of our customers will get a sfutre a
very difficult task indeed. Our men are doing the very best
they can, and we kindly ask your indulgence ttntil such times
as additional supplies are available.
In our judgment the crisis is almost past. Another ten
days should see some improvement.
Very truly yours,
