You Can Begin This
Great Story To-day
by Reading This
First

TINE opening scene is laid in the
palatial home of Charles Nelson,
whom the world calls q successful
man. In reality Nelson's money has
caused his wife to become society
leader, so that he gradually finds his
nome becoming more and more cherries
and less like home. He enters his
house to find his only son drunk and at
tempting to kiss Mary Burke, Mrs.
Nelson's secretary. He upbraids the
boy, who turns on his father and &C
cuses him OF maintaining another es-
adjustment uptown Mrs. Nelson en-
tiers the room just in time to hear the
accusation. Nelson conResses to her
that the charge is true. Nelson leaves
mis- home and moves to the Alpine
Apartment Hotel. His daughter deter
mines to follow him. He telephones to
the Winthrops, some close friends, for
help. Alice arrives at the hotel and goes
to the telephone operator.

JOON NO WVhhIINI IIhIsi 2
volume sent out by the Ma


tional Federation OF Settls-
ments, is introduced by Jane Adams
and issued by Houghton Mifflin Com
pany, of Boston. Many questions
are here opened up from practical
point of view:
Women In particular have not only
had to meet the general moral uncer-
tainty of the age; but, In addition,
have had to face the serious moral
problems forced upon them by the
reorganization of their sphere of life
through It's invasion by modern In
dustIy
Chief among such is the pro-
nounced deficiency and weakness OF
family life. The average working
class home in the city is so physi.
cally inadequate that II automatically
produces i'll health, nervous tension
and a desire to escape, all of which
are predisposing causes of moral lax
ness. Even more serious is the fact
that mothers and fathers often fail
in appreciation Of their larger re-
sponsibilities.
Industry, too, IN requisitioning the
young life Of the nation to its SER
vice, and in failing to safeguard Il
properly while so engaged, lie at fault.
Young girls are herded into over
