A TALK FEST WITH MARY.
! ,Copl right lgll, by the Newspaper Enter
prise Association
Mary is growing pretter every day
| and notwithstanding her hard work
/ and responsibility she looks happier
| thun she has al any time since the
| irst Few weeks after her secret mar
! rlaEe with Jack was acknowledged.
! To most women the magic cry. 81
need you Is the open sesame 10 all
they have TO give They are ready 10
sacrifice and forgive, ready TO work
ana weep, ready 70 laugh and sing, II
| only someone holds ont imploruE
/ hands and whispers. II need you.'
Tho man who wrote 20 the woman
J that heart cry which ended In. GOD
/ has forgotten or he never kneW-the
need of YOU" solved the enigma OF a
woman's heart and that he gained that
heart IS furegone conclusion.
OF course there are many women
who follow the philosophy Of Metz
sche taking everything and giving
nothing, but IL makes me very glad
TO feel that these women are IN the
minority and Mary certainly Is not
one of them.
Yesterday she came over TO dinner
with me and as Dick had another en-
gBgement with Mr.. Selwin we settled
ourselves for a long talk fest
"What u dear little place you have,
Margie,' she said somewhat wistfully
Your little apartment Is charming,
also ! remarked
That's Just It, MarEie ] don't
want TO give up my apartment
yet can't keep II up ON the $40 4
week ] get from the bookshop"
Doesn't Jack help?'
"Ho says he will not do so any
longer on account Of the will that Dad
made Besides Mother Wayerly wants
US TO come and live with her and !
know Jack thinks he won't have to
pay anything II we do that NarEie,
YOU know that Mother Wavorly will
have only about one hundred and
hfty dollars month to run that house
on and it viii take a good deal OF
planning TO do this. If Jack and
go over there we certainly ought 10
give something each week toward the
expenses II will be awfully hard foI
me to live with Mother Wavorly for,
you know, she will never understand
that certain responsibilities must he
met She has always been led to be
lieve that money WAS hers for the
asking and it will be very hard foI
on the income Of the shop whether II
is fifty or a hundred and nifty dol
lars"
1T looks as though you were slated
for a rather hard position, Mary
- don't mind Indeed ia love 20
do it II you will all love me and re-
member that IN all my life | have
never had any real relations before. -
You dear girl-Fm proud that you
want me to be real relation
"Molie has an idea that ! think
is fine If W. can get Mother Waverly
to accept it. continued Mary, "and
that is to take seven-room apart
ment house furnished to somebody
THAT would be splendid for tl'-re
are 50 many cares about a house that
YOU get rid Of In an apartment. But
II ! were YOU, Mary, ] would not
worry about It until after the visit
of Aunt Mary 10 Mother Waverly Is
over. You can tell better what to do
then. And | want to feel whatever
on do. that Dick and ! are with You"
Does Dick think the win was all
right" asked Mary anXiously
My dear girl he helped Dad make
the will"
con-" calculated Mary, and burst
into happy tears.
