It's a nice little plot that the au- thors have woven into their story. A thy father has wagered $30,000 t his son can make more money working at a regular “job” than can the son of another wealthy man. Both fathers are in the soap business Father Number One succeeds, with the assitance of his pretty secretary, in getting his son to go to work. Shc{‘ is to be the inspiration, because the | { son has fallen in love with t®e young lady, who doesn’t object, because shec has been promised a large sum of money by the boy's father if their scheme works out. When the son announces that he is going to marry the pretty stenogra- pher, father storms and orders the young man out of the house, and | the stenographer out of his office. Soa | tells father that he will rue the day as he intends to go into the soap bus'- ness and break the old gentleman. The second act finds the young man | installed in expensive offices with hi fiancee as secretary, and a bree voung man by the name of P conducting an aggressive advertising | campaign that they believe will put the old man out of business. The publicity stunt works only too well, and the young firm find themselves in the awkward position of having enormous orders for their product, but no product. They have been 30 busy building up a trademark, they have forgotten the manufacturing end of the game—entirely.

She tries to scream out her accusation but faints before she can utter a word. She is borne away and the judge discharges the| prisoner as it is his first offense.

The two young women used to s the things that never lacked interes solution—Ilove, friendship, marriage, s and wives, of sweethearts and friends, work, ambition, questions of the day and per- sonalities Perhaps it was because they talked so many personalities that they were so interesting to each other. For zach, they soon found, couldd ews, and the other’s self, experiencesand nature, understanding and sympathy. “That’s why,” said Janet one evening, “we made friends so quickly—be- cause we're interested in the real things of life and aren’t afraid to talk about them.

Walt Is splenaid. He's broad-minded, modern in his views, tolerant and sympathetic. And yet, Cora, he has a certain conven- ticnal streak—a sort of left-over-from-the-ages theory that he alone must make the home and provide for its maintenance.” “They all have that strealk, ileq Cora feelingly. love them for it.” “M-m-m--yes—but it didnt postpone your marriage.

Why not?” Cora Temple couldnt just say “why a reason at the bottom of the problem I had been reared in a conventional home.

Grace Draper’s condition rapidly grew worse after she had released me ifrom my promise to stay with her until her death. From the moment when Dr. Pettit uncavered the sham of the delirium she was affecting in order to make me believe Dicky was false to me she sank rapidly into real unconscious- ness, real delirium, The fight for her life was a bitter and prolonged one. Authorized by Dicky, Dr. Pettit secured a second nurse sa that the girl was watched night and day by the best skill ob- tainable. But I had no personal knowledge of the desperate struggle that was being waged for the girl's life.

But all our pretense of gayety dropped from us when we were finally sathered within the friendly shelter of our home. All through the days which we spent together the shadc of the horror we had been throu hovered over us, Constantly before my eyes was the image of Grace Draper as I had last seen her, wounded, almost dying, vet summoning all the strength she had in one last attempt to poison my he- lief in Dicky, She had szid that never would I be able to tell how much was false and how much true road of his Children She Found Herself Eager to Punish. Just the other day I found a young mother with tears in her eyes. “I[ was just going to punish Ruth,” she said, “when I found I was really tak- ing pleasure in doing it so I stopped right off. How can I be so cruel to my own children. I must be a perfect brute.” “On the contrary,” I said, ‘“you are an ynusually thoughtful, conscien- tious mother.

It is really astonishing to see how even the well-bred, well-intentioned, consclentious mothers will let them- selves be influenced by irritation or annoyance in the treatment of a be- loved child. And yet is it so astonishing when one remembers what havoc close con- tact with small children is apt to play with one’s nerves?

Perhaps because they have so much more energy than we. You know grown-up people who are too full of nervous energy are apt to be wear- ing. I know some one will assure me by mail that right-feeling mothers do not find their children tiresome. I beg to differ. There are some women with children just as some have the gift of song or of skill with the needle, but I know many sweet, conscientious women who are tired cut by too close contact with thei brood. What Does Discipline Mean? It all goes back to a question of motives A child should be punished for discipline Discipline means “to improve by corrective and penal meth- ods.” It doesn't mean to punish for vengeance’s sake. I think Seneca’s ideal of punish- ment would be an excellent thing for cvery mother, the ruler in her littlo kingdom, to hang up over her desk. “We will not punish a man because he hath offended, but that he may of- fend no more; nor does punishment ever look to the past, but to the fu- ture; for it is not the result of pas- ion, but that the same thing m. be guided against in time to come.” e C O VISIT OUR SRIENTAL RUG SALE 48 Lewis Street Hartford A wonderful selection of Antique and Modern Pieces Suitable for Wedding and Christmas Presents.

When we found that the fight for '(vli)((‘ Draper’s life was to be a long :nd grim one, Lillian decided that it would be hest for Dicky and me to | return to the old Bremnan house at Marvin. She also arranged that she nd Harry should accompany us there, leaving her colored maid, Betty, to wait upon the two nurses and the sick girl. “I'm not even asking you if you want me,” she said, with the lovable mperiousn that so characteristic o her, “for T know you nced me. You'ré not fit to stay by yourself, for vou've been through too much. And Lesides, there’ll be less chance for the neighbors to talk if we're all here we were befere.” How Defense Was Built. The gossip of the Marvin neighbors was the thing we feared most. To prevent it we had taken every pre- caution. When I say “we” I mean Lillian, for it was she who thought of cverything. From the moment when she hod cent for the Cresthaven taxi to come for us in place of the lone machine from Marvin to the moment when she and T came back to the Mar- vin house chatting as gayly as if nothing had happened, her vigilance bhad never faltered. It was she who had sent Katie back the next morning after the accident with instructions to open the house as if nothing had h'\rvp(\wi and sayv to anyone who inq ed about us that Dicky and T and the Underwocds had gone for a short trip together, From that day until the day Lillian and 1 returned, Katie had come out to Marvin from the city early each morning, stayed during the day to give the house a semblance of occupa- tion, and returned to the city each evening, where she had slept at the home of her cousin, her only relative in the city. Lillian had Draper’s sister, Mrs. Gorman, to re- turn to her home. Tt not hard to induce the poor woma to do so, for she was almost useless in the sick raom, and needed in her own home.

But even in our most intimate moments since then the doubt she had planted in my mind weculd raise its head like a and instil its venom into piness. I struggled hard to keep Dicky from discovering my feelings. I had not told him of the girl's pretended lirilum and the things she had 1 was not sure, however, that hc not know it. If Lillian thaught he ought to know it she was perfectly capable of telling him, but I shrank from mentioning in any way the name of the girl who had wrought such evil to me and mine, Lillian and Harry tried their to act as if nothing untoward happened, but it was a difficult they set themselves.
