"When a Girl Marries" By ANN LISLE A New, Romantic Serial Dealing With the Absorbing Problems of a Girl Wife CHAPTER CCXLVIII. Copyright, 1919. King Features Syn dicate, Inc. Must I give up Anthony Norrey's friendship ? Whenever there was a slack mo ment in the day's work at the Can teen this problem reared its head to confront me. And sometimes it trailed its way through my orders and led me to confuse ham and eggs with fresh peach ice cream. Jim disapproves of Tony. Dis likes him. This fact stands adamant. I can't dodge it or dis prove it. There it is and no get ting around it. On the other hand 1 like Tony. Like and admire him. And he gives me a friendship as loyal and un swerving as Terry's to which I was always welcome, ■ for Jim approves. Now I know that friend ship is a thing made up of under standing and respect and con geniality—and fair play. It isn't a thing to use and enjoy for a while and then bundle up in old newspa pers like faded tiowers on their way to the ashcan. "Anne Harrison." I said firmly to myself. "Tony's friendship is just as real now when you don't need it as it was in the days when you—and your Jim—might have starved with out it. And if you don't treat a big thing like friendship decently and with respect, then you haven't a square attitude toward any of vour blessings or responsibilities. You have definite obligations toward Tony Norreys. His in you isn't a scrap of paper. You aren't a Hun, my girl." This seemed to settle the question of what 1 would do with Tony's loyal liking now that I had won it. and it also presupposed that I'd keep the engagement with him which Carlotta had made for me. I knew that what I did was right —Right with a capital "R." Rut 1 wonder how I am going to make Jim see it—or when I am going to venture to try. Making up my mind to what 1 feel is right is one thing. Recon c ling myself to the slightest danger of even a tiny disagreement with Jim is another. With this to worry me, I started chasing around in new circles of agitation. And I couldn't find peace or calm or relaxation for my taut nerves until Tony dropped in for Carlotta and me at about half-past eight Then all in a min ute I knew that at any cost, all JH Or l i C k's the Original Malted Milk.

Drink A Bottle of Cloverdale Everv Day Copyrighted 1919J by Olorerdale Spring Or I WEDNESDAY EVENING, . my life—once I was convinced that ' a certain course was the right I course—l'd have to take it. For there is something about ' Tony that brings straight thinking j and consequent peace. Wherever I he happens to be peace must come j too. Perhaps it is because Tony triumphs over physical frailness | and is rugged and firm. Perhaps j it is because his eyes never dodge I issues, but always look honestly at ! what lies ahead. A sense of values : —that's what Tony himself has, and it's what he imparts to his friends. "Starved?" asked Tony with the directness that suits his ice-blue eyes and the timbre of his wonder ful voice. "Why?" I shot at him, laughing, 'as 1 matched tone for tone and 1 shook hands briskly. I "Car's outside. Wonderful night. Inn on river half an hour from j city," he replied without a smile as he kept Up the game. "I'd like to get a breath of air j if Carlotta likes," I said, turning I to her. "Sure, let's go up the road," Car i lotta heartily agreed. "I've a peach of a new tan coat that covers my i uniform, and I wore a sailor hat |in to work. How are you fixed, Anne?" "A blue serge cape and a blue ! turban," I replied. "We'll both look ■ like summer boarders." • In my heart I was rejoiced that j Carlotta hadn't been given an op portunity to live up to her ideas of t dressing for the party. But when ' she appeared in a tan coat with re- I versible lining of brown plaid flar ing out in collar and cuffs and with ! a brown sailor pulled down over her 1 flamboyant hair, I realized that an inconspicuous Carlotta wouldn't be | Carlotta at all. The Inn by the river has a glassed ; veranda built all about it, with great glass panels opened to admit the ; night breezes. The timorous, rlieu | matic souls clung to the land side t but we bravely ventured around to | the open arm that runs parallel with j the light-pricked blackness of the i water. As I sank into my chair I caught | a fugitive glimpse through the tables i intervening of some one vaguely I familiar, someone who didn't appear | to want to see me. Then we settled down to the busi i ness of ordering a dinner for the j starving and of enjoying our viands and our conversation. I might have | forgotten that disturbing glimpse | of someone I couldn't see clearly j enough to place, but all through 1 dinner I was annoyed by glimpses of a head bobbing about as if to dodge me.

And now again I found myself warming to her with no mental reservations about her ! slanginess or her conspicuousness. i They became a part of something i big and breezy and as basically ] honest in a primitive way as Tony was in his fineness.

To-morrow I might , once more like her critically, with ! tempered enthusiasm. To-night I j —completely liked her. Just at the point where I became sure of that j a creamy voice broke into our con versation: "Anne, dear, I've been trying to get your eye for ages. How nice to find you here. May we have our coffee with you?" It was Valerie Cosby. And at her side stood Tom Mason. It was she who had been avoid ing my eyes all evening, but now she offered herself bodly to inspec tion.

The committee will make every effort to get as large a supply as possible. Mayor Kiester was very enthusias tic to-day over the organization of the committee and the desire to get down to work as soon as possible. It is the opinion of the Mayor it is going to be a hard task and he will co-operate with the committee in doing the best possible for the peo ple of Harrisburg. He said to day: "After we get this project under way I am going to take up the fore stalling ordinance question and in tend to do everything in my power to cut the high cost of living for the people of Harrisburg." Prices Stay Hp The Chestnut street market house seems to be maintaining a fairly steady average in regard to the price of vegetables and other food stuffs nowadays. That is, it main ta'ns it fairly high. Prices show no sign of dropping. Peas sold to-day for about ten rents a quarter of a peck, which seems to be the most reasonable of anything in the place. Tomatoes are just beginning to come in and hit the market at twenty-five cents DAILY HINT ON FASHIONS I I A NEW FROCK FOR MOTHER'S GIRL 2S73—This will be very attractive in linen, repp or chambray, with em broidery or braid trimming, 'it is good also, for gingham, percale, pop lin, silk, gabardine and serge.

Cabbage tips the J scale at ten or fifteen cents a head, I lettuce at twelve and up. Eggs are quoted at 5 2 cents the dozen. Farmers Shift Blame The farmers blame the high price of things on the rise of grain. They claim that people, ordinarily, do not understand the expenses incident to raising good foodstuffs, and com plain bitterly when the farmers raise the prices a bit. Other costs of farming are likewise given by the farmers as the cause, such as in creasing expense of implements, livestock care and feeding, number of acres necessary to turn out food which barely yields enough to war rant its continuance, and like mat ters. They say also that there will be no letup in prices until the grain and seed people come down on theirs. And they add, that they don't expect this Utopian state for some time to come. License the Profiteers The question of bringing about a reduction in the prices of food con tinued to interest consumers in Har risburg. During the day it was sug gested that one way to curb the the profiteers would be to grant mer cantile licenses only under restric tions that would prevent merchants from charging unfair prices for theri merchandise. The citizen who point ed to this means of getting at the bottom of the trouble gave it as his belief that it was far more necessary that close supervision be made on the conduct of merchants than it was to restrain corporation from charging unjustifiable railway fares. "People must eat," he said, "they must buy clothing; they must pro vide homes for their families. Isn't it just as important that the prof iteers, on whom there seems to be no curb whatever, should be con stantly held in abeyance through fear of arrest and imprisonment? I think it is. The important point is i this: Poor People Suffer "There are hundreds of poor peo ple who are completely at the mercy of unscrupulous food dealers. Some one must think and act for them, else they must suffer impoverish ment and be poorly nourished to the extent that they cannot properly earn their livelihood. This matter of raising the price of food out of all proportion to the earnings of the people must stop somewhere. First we had the rent profiteer, who still is with us and who goes hand in [hand with the coal profiteer. "Now we have the food merchant striking at the very hearts of the people w*ho must buy or go hungry. The continued practice of boosting the price of foodstuffs isn't going to result in just one thing. People who have saved a little toward buying their own homes are going to find themselves literally robbed of their property, for they will not be able to keep up their payments; further more, they will be powerless to maintain their insurance on life and property; they will be deprived of the little pleasures that belong to the poor man because the pittance they would spend on themselves and their families will be swallowed up in the profits of the grocer, the baker, the butcher, the produce man, the trucker and the dozen other profiteers whose greed will not be restrained. It is clearly the duty of the authorities to take this mat ter up in all seriousness and to pur sue the problem to a successful so lution."

Ernest Lafont, also a Social j ist, brought up the possibility of j utilizing American Army stock, say ing that it will be regrettable if these stocks should be destroyed, as they would provision enemy or neu tral countries. "I demand to know," he said, "if ing that it will be regretable if offer us goods, they are refused on the pretext that some manufacturer of biscuits, automobiles or other ar ticles would be inconvenienced.
