Mrs. Thompson was forced to drink
deep OF the cup of humiliation. She
saw her business ruined, her credit
destroyed and her feelings outra ged
In every way possible. At the last
her great good sense saved her and
pointed out to her the way to free
dom and a restoration of her self
respect.
BY this time Enid and Jane, Enid's
daughter and her grandchild, had
come home to her. and life once more
flowed back to It's accustomed chan
nels of peace and happiness, both wo-
men having learned a lesson which
put them more truly at one with the
world around them than before.
The real value of the book is in
Its excellent character drawing and

what they are and not something else;
why she is in measure an anomaly

that before she was known as a writer
she was master hand at kindergarten

which for her was the best, the inevi-
