Withdrawing, Margaret went into
the room occupied by the manager and
made him the proposition.
Now Richard Ainsworth had
shrewd head in more ways than one.

Margaret was not ready to give
definite answer. She tried to satisfy
him with an evasion. All to no pur-

into the agreement or the strike must
go on. Finally she put out her hand
and turned away her face. Ainsworth

male with the garment Of the ideal

and stills my laughter. 1t Is the
discovery that I am doing the same
thing.
A Mother in Truth
1 am thinking that because a.
woman has a child she is a mother
In truth and spirit, as well as in
body. 1t Is a much more comfort
able attitude toward your own sex
to assume that they are what they
should be, rather than honestly to
find out what they are not, and to
help them to become what is right
and best for them, That Is why
It took an amazing figure, two
thirds legs and one third dress, to
wake me up to the jealous mother.

legs! All their coltish shortcom-
ings revealed by skirts that came q

should have been. The legs were
