To Janet, it seemed as if they had nothing in com- mon. Janet, a business woman. Janet, a wife who loved her husband and was by him beloved. Janet, who had always been busy and useful. Janet, to whom money had always been carned, and well earned. Janet, to whom home meant much and to whom this luxurious stay at an ex- Dorothea. Strang Crafton—born New York Strang, that old family, you know, with the mansion at the corner of University place—a society woman; Dorothea, who had had money and yet who married money. Dorothea, to whom a hus- band was a billpayer, and outside of that rather a bore. Dorothea, who had never done any harder work in her life than arrange a cotillion or a series of musical mornings at the Wal- ledoff. Dorothea, to. whom home was a place to stay In once in a while when convenfent. Dorothea, who had brought her “shattered nerves” to the Hill Farms Inn, but found nothing there quite satisfactory. Yet it was because they were of different worlds that they found each other interesting. “And so you actually work!” Crafton was saying as the two a Mrs. were in an office as a man’s secretary. How quaint!

She—why, is t? ‘What's the matter?” For Mrs. Crafton had suddenly clutched Janet's hand under the fur motor robe and was pressing 1t, evi- dently to hush her. She was biting her lip and winking very fast. Janet | guessed instantly that she had inad- | verently touched a raw spot in this strange woman's soul. “There!

She won’t be in the house twen- ty-four hours before she'll be sayin ‘I know vou think so-and-so.’ And so-and-so is something disparaging to her or something you think she sould not have done. If you say you, didn't think that, she'll say, ‘You acted as if you did,’ and you can seec she still thinks so. She keeps any home she's in stirred up. Making Hard Work of Human Do you recognize that woman? I do. She is one of those unhappy peo- ple who make hard work of human relationships instead of taking them simply and happily. Perhaps T should call it a tendency rather than a type, because it is so common, almost universal. Of course, she is an exaggerition of the tendency, but T think most of nus do allow a great deal of unnecessary unhappiness to zet Into our lives through this channel She Wasn't Tired, Just Worked Up.

After our first supper at the farm- house the evening before, we had been shown a collection of pictures in the farmhouse parlor fram the brush of Mr Cosgrove’s brother, Robert Savarin, Dicky had recognized the artist’s work at once, and had pronounced the collection to be worth at least $50,000. The hysterical joy of ‘Ivs, Cosgrove at the announcement, culation cleverly stopped by her husband, ‘what this will mean to Robert!” the midnight excursion of Mr. and Mrs. Cosgrove and one of their sons, and v of the woman to kvep sceret the difference hetween her twin sons—all these things pointed. In my mind, to some dangerous secret in possession of the Cosgrove family, 3ut Dicky’s words had given me the clue. Robert Savarin must be allve, and for some reason his sister and her family were keeping secret the fact that he was living. I knew how Dicky any such suggestion on my part. I resolved not to have to assume any enthusiasm, for T really wildly excited over the “Dan’t he mean, Dicky. tell me the whole story, there’s a dear.” Al right” Dicky responded promptly, “on one condition, that you walk along while I'm talking. I want to et to casting some time toda T jumped up with alacrity. “That's a bargain,” I said, slipping my hand into his. “Now proceed.” “Well, gentle reader,” Dicky began, oratorically, “the story is simply this: “Fifteen vears ago Robert Savarin was the romantic mystery of the New York studios. He was one of thase fellows with mighty lofty ideals about his work, and he never lowered them the way most of us have.” There was just a tinge of self-reproachful bitter- ness in Dicky's tone, but it was gone in an instant “He had worked like a truck horse for vears in the Paris studlos. His work was vears ahead of his day, and for a long time there was practically no sale for it, hut he stuck to it doggzedly, painting picture after ture, which commanded such prices that he would never sell [ would ridicule was story. Go on, small one { until actually driven to it by imminent sister, and then I remembered that I'd promised a friend a long while ago that I'd try to go to a lecture with her that day. So I telephoned my si | ter. Well, she had made some plans and she thought I ought to give up the lecture. ‘She does a lot for me and I hated to refuse. Finally T put it up to my friend, and she d it would be all right, and afterwards [ found out that she was awfully hurt. Tt's dreadful mess. I've been almost over it.” Just think of it, nobody sick. no fl- nancial trouble, nothing real to make them unhappy, and vet these three women had managed to get all stirred up and unhappy!
