town. They prepare to elope in a blind
Ing blizzard but are confronted by the
maudlln husband. He is shot by the
wife, but the chivalrous boy pins a
note to the body taking the crime
upon himself. In their flight to the
railroad station the woman's horse
tails exhausted; the youth puts her
on his own and follows hanging to the
surrup strap. Seeing he is an impedi-
ment, the woman tnrusts her escort into
a snow drift and rides on. Half-frozen
ne stumbles into the railroad station just
as the train bears the woman away.
twenty-five years later, this man, George
Gormly, Is a multi-rnilnonaire in New
YORK. He meets Eleanor Haldane. a
beautiful and wealthy settlement worker,
ana c~o-operates with her in her work.
Gormly becomes owner Of a steamship
line and finds himself frustrated in pier

company. An automobile accident near

anything connected with her was q

"Oh, beautifully. You see, there is
nothing to consult you about now. It

the capacity of those with whom 1

or even a man, with a better head for
business than you have" \
1t was the deftest thing the man
could have said to her. Women, she
knew, were not naturally business
like, and to have such qualities at
tributed to her was the subtlest kind
OF fattery. It came, too, from a man
who was a power in the business
world, and was therefore the more

The elevator slipped rapidly by one
floor after another. while many in
mates Of a large Office building rang
the bell and demanded to be carried
to the street. It was the noon hour
and every n at the elevator shaft

The elevator seemed to be only half
filled. Actually there were three girls

fifteenth floor.

Finally he reached a floor where

him, Filled up" and the man said
something positive.
Then the operator added:

He o never seen her except in the

that way however, the sight dazzled
him. 1t was SO far beyond any dream
ne had ever INDUCED that he could
scarcely comprehend it. He stopped
n stared at her. For once his iron
control deserted him. There was that
frank, open admiration in his glance
Oh which no one could mistake the

His speech was broken by the en-
trance of Mrs. Haldane and Miss Stew
art. The latter was a fragile, grace
ful, charming girl. who would have
attracted instant attention and notice
anywhere, except beside her regal
companion and friend. Mrs. Haldane
was a not unworthy complement to
the other two. These two also were
wearing elaborate dinner gowns.
At this moment Haldane, followed
by the two other men, came in from
the library.

well, see that they are prepared,
and have Mrs. Bullen here immediate
ly."
AS the butler went of to attend to
these orders, Gormly re-entered the
room and found the whole party COM
fortably gathered about the fire. He
explained that he had found a WON
an on the place, the lodgekeeper's
wife; that he had sent the station
wagon for her; and that she would be
present doubtless within a half hour
with such indispensable articles of at
tire as might serve to make the wom-
en- guests at least comfortable.
IF you were only in communication
with your shop, Mr.. Gormly," said Mrs.
Haldane-and whether she meant to
be offensive or not. Gormly could not
tell-"we would lack nothing"
Il am sorry for your sake. madam,
that l am not. AS it is, we shall have
to do our best with the limited re-
sources at hand"
Conversation ran on desultorily this
way for a short time, when the butler
announced the arrival Of Mrs. Bullen.
AS he did so, the tall clock unsteady
chimed out the hour OF nine.
Now that your woman ds here, Mr..
Gormly," said Mrs. Haldane, rising,
as I am somewhat fatigued from the
ride and the experience, l shall retire
to my room. l suppose you young
people won't think of going to bed

"Will you 60, Beekman?" said Mrs.

"An excellent idea," returned Hal
dane quickly; "but there are six Of
us here and"
Il don't play" said Gormly quickly.
"I1l stay out also," said Eleanor. Il
don't care much for bridge at best"
Good night" said Mrs. Haldane,
moving away, escorted by the butler.
and met outside presently by Mrs.
Bullen.
"Mr. Gormly and I will watch your
game said Eleanor.
by the way, Eleanor, may ask
where you met Mr.. Gormly?" queried
her father.
He IS very much interested in our
social settlement work. Many of his
employees live in the vicinity of the
new settlement house we are building,
and l have had occasion to consult
him at his office a great many times"
All" said the elder man reflective
", wondering how much might be be-
hind that entirely innocent statement.
Meanwhile a footman arranged a
card table, at which the quartet took
their places and instantly became alb
sorbed In the game. Miss Haldane
manifested nc special interest in the
play, and at Gormly's suggestion she
left the hall and went with him into
the inviting little library through the
broad open doors that gave access to
it from the hall. Another fire was
burning there. He drew a low chair
before it in which she sat down. He
himself stood with his arm resting on
the mantel, looking down on her.
The two were in plain sight from
the bridge table; but as they talked in
low tones their conversation was in
audible In the hall. Haldane glanced
curiously and ~uneasily at them from
time to time; but finally, becoming
absorbed in his game, paid them no
further notice.

THE OPINION OF ONE.

Dear Womans Page:-In reply to
'PerpleXed" | want to say by all
means let her stay at home keep it
tidy prepare the meals 'On time"
and give home training and mother
ing to the little girl of six.
If her husband provides and cares
for herself and child, why does she
wish to go forth in the world of work
ers, crowd out some sister woman
who perhaps must be sole bread win
ner and provider for maybe not only
herself but often a helpless brood of
little children.
Most women, especially those who
are mothers, prefer home life, and
shrink from contact with the bust
ness world and only the thought Of
an empty pantry, and worn little
shoes nerve her to the task of going
forth to battle for a living for the
little crowd at home. Why then
should any woman who does not need
the money derived from her work,
leave home and child to enter the
struggling throng and perhaps crowd
out a sister less skillful who must
work or suffer?
The home life should be the first
choice of every true woman, and
only stern necessity should drive
her forth from it and her children;
for every home needs the presence
of a woman, and every child needs
the guidance control and restraint of
a loving woman almost every hour
in the day. The child who has not
this training has lost that which is
of more value than worldly gain.
BY far too many children are grow
ing with little or no home training.
They are on the streets more than at
home and form associations unknown
to the mother.
In some cases the mothers are COM
PEELED to be absent from their child
rem, but in many others it's pleasure
seeking that takes the mother from
her child SO much.

My Dear Mrs Lee:-I am not sure
yet, just what you would like to
have for the Woman's Page, but
since you have invited us to send
you suggestions, I'll tell you how Id
do it. My IDEA Of such a department
would be not to limit it entirely to
feminine and household matter
though I should put in interesting
things on that line, but to make it
a sort of amateur writer's depart
ment-a clearing house for ideas ii
you please-a page that would con-
tain bright, spicy original stories,
poems, sketches, letters etc.-really
a department of expression for those
who would like to say something oc-
CaSiOnally but are not professional
writer's And I would give each piece
q heading of it's OWn-separate 1T
from the rest and give it some inii-
viduality. 1t seems to me that such
a department could be made quite
interesting and also quite helpful
especially to would-be writers-and
there are several of them in Georgia
and the other Southern States.
/ hope that the WOman'S Page may
be a great success. Of course | shall
not be the least bit offended if you
do not see fit to adopt any of my sug-
gestions Yours very cordially.

Women know the worst Of poverty
1t is the wife who has the spending
of the insufficient income, uho learns
all the bitter ways Of scrimping and
