For five long weeks Ruth adhered to
her resolution to eschew society and cui-
tivate the higher life. She read great
many treatises and parts of a great many
books which she did not understand. On
Mondays and Wednesdays she attended
Mothers meetings in a Settlement house
in the slums, where she sang Nevins
songs and played piano solos by Cham
made. Fridays she attended the ESQ
teric Club and studied how to release her
soul from the material body that it might
soar unencumbered through empyrean
heavens. She had hoped to become an
adept in time, but somehow her soul was
proving undutifu and refused to soar;
perhaps because her mind was laden of
late with thoughts of Tom Marston,
whose six feet of stature and cores
