The Genevieve that am going to
tell you about is noble woman. And
besides that, she is sure that everyone
else ought to be a noble woman. too
She used to say to flirtatious girl
friend: II do not see how you can
Justify yourself in acting to Clarence
as II you enjoy his society, when only
last week you told me you were in
love with Wilyum. This is not the
course of a truly noble girl; and al
ways thought you had such high stand
ards. too"
Then her friend would say: "Ohr
goodness, Of course, am in love with
Billy; but / can enjoy the society OF
Clarence, too, can't l? Billy knows
all about Clarence, anyway. and, be-
sides, there isn't anything to know. He
is just funny-well, he, is a little In
love with me, but not enough to hurt.
Why, 1t isn't important"
Then Genevieve would feel awfully
about It, and make It the subject of
serious conversation, compelling gay
little Clara to turn herself inside
out as TO action, and chasing every
little motive to its lair with utter un-
relenting.
Well, in the course Of time Gene
We've married, and the James she &C.
Quired was one of those blunt-fea-
tured, goodenough looking Jameses
who build bridges and know about con-
struction and concreting and steel
glrders, and the strength Of the span
and things like that-things requiring
some concentration and nice calcula-
ton, and an absolute knowledge Of
matters and a power Of taking re-
sponslbillty; because otherwise things
might fall down rather disastrously.
Thus, in his curious masculine way,
James had quite q conscience him
self.
Well, one day after they had been
married awhile, James happened to
mention that johnson had been In the
office looking for a Job. He said
Johnson was q good man and he
thought they would put him to work.
Genevieve looked at him in dumb
horror-but 1t didn't stay dumb.

she said, in as sepulchral tone as SO

The Genevieve Who Is Noble Nagger

said: well, Genevieve, we need our
Job, I am not arranging matters for
my firm, thank YOU"
"GeneVieve," says James some time
later, two Of the men / graduated
from Tech. with are In town and
would like to bring them home to din
ner tomorrow. | guess I'll bring q
quart Of fizz with me. They'll like IT,"
Il will be very glad to welcome your
friends. James," says Genevleve. "but
draw the line at liquor. 1t shall
never come under my roof"
Why" says the bewlldered James,
you used not to mind"
THAT was before had a serious ro-
sponsibility Of bringing up child Prop
erly," says Genevieve.
But Jimsey is only three months old
what harm can 1t do him?"
Well. Genevieve was right enough,
perhaps. She knew just what the at.
mosphere of the home ought to be from
the first, and she was going to keep It
that way. And she did.
Jimsey kept on growing up and the
atmosphere Of the home came to be
something like this - Jimsey being
three years old and q capable young
citizen.
Doesn't little son know that it is
very wrong? Isn't Jimsey sorry? Why
isn't Jimsey sorry? But Jimsey ought
to be sorry. Oh, Jimsey, you hurt
mamma so when you are not sorry.
Doesn't Jimsey know that his little
heart ought to be clean and good?"-
And all that little Jimsey really needs
Is q light but rapid hand applied ex.
ternally q moment, and the words,
spoken in a clear, calm voice. with a
downward infection: you mind me-"
Soon Jimsey would learn to recognize
kindly authority, and after awhile be
old enough TO see the value Of exercis-
ing authority over himself.
But James is told about Jimsey and
he, too, must look sorry and probe ait
er finer feelings, while Geneylevo
says: Il don't see where he got such
q dlspositlon-but, perhaps, II one AZ
peals to his better nature" Aud
then she looks at James and James

into its nest and hibernatcs, while his
worse nature is on the job. trying 70
dodge this noble woman's case Of con-
science.
James firm now says: ale is q good
man, but you have to let him pro-
coed on his own lines. Well. he is
worth thousands every year to u.s."
Genevieve's friends say: "She is
lovely character. and isn't It pity
that her husband has such a cold,
hard nature? And as for that child, he
is such a torment"
And Genevieve's very dearest friends
say: Heavens, how she does nag that
poor man! And as for Jimsey!"
