MICS; but the others discussed the
trials of married life, the difficulties
of getting help, the unappreciative-
ness of men in general, and certain
husbands in particular, and the aw-
full dTudGery involved in keeping a
house. Genevieve had not, as yet,
reached the point of taking part in
these discussions; she still kept up
what she bitterly called to herself
"the fiction" of being happy bride.
But when she thought Of the years
stretching before her, laden with this
awful burden OF drudgery that appar-
emily oppressed every woman with a
home to look after, she wanted to
scream. How could she ever stand
it? How could she give up all her
dreams of happiness with Burton?
They had planned to read together,
she was to keep up her music and
play and sing for him; they had
talked of rides and walks in the sum-
mer to come, when they we're to be
always together" hi
But even now she was too tired,
when evening came, to read, and
went to sleep in five minutes il Bur-
ton tried to read to her. She hadn't
found minute for practicing in the
last three weeks. Would things be
any better when summer came, or
would she have to give up ali those
plans as we'll? Honestly, what was
the use of being married? They had
had ever so much more fun when
they were engaged-and, yes, they
had seen more Of each other than
they were doing now. Burton spent
so many of his evenings at the Office
that she seldom had more than few
hurried words with him at the break
fast table. H,
At first, Genevieve had been glad
when he stayed down town, and she
could so to bed early. But as time
went by, she realized that they were
growing farther and farther apart.
What would the end be?
Burton, too, seemed to be unhappy.
Ills face showed her that, and she
was compelled to admit that her hus-
band was suffering as we'll. What
would be the solution of their prob
lem?
"Wnese've you been keeping your
self. lately, Genevieve?" asked her
father, in his CHEEKY way, finding her
in the old home one evening upon his
return from the Office "Wc've missed
you"
Geneyieve had stayed away because
she feared they would discover her
unhappiness. Instead of giving the
real reason, she said: @I've been too
busy, father. You know / have all
the housework to do alone"
The swift look Of penetration and
sadness that her father gave her
startled her. "Come here, little
girl. Sit on my knee once more, and
let's have one of our o. time con-
fabs." Then with his arm about her
waist in the old, loving way, he be-
gan: "Been out with Burton much
lately?"
'No, father, he seems to be too
busy, and don't know as i mind that
as I'm generally too tired"
"Why weren't you at the Engi-
neers' banquet? You went last year,

The Rare Gift of Courtesy.

Courtesy includes not merely social
kin iness, graces of speech, absence of
ludeness, but honorable treatment of
business associates and of all the fel-
low citizens with whom a man of af-

1t is not American to keep one citi-

cause he is poor, and to grant an
