Emma had said, just before he left
her. They'll try it. If they give you
a broom and tell you to sweep down
the back stairs, take it, and sweep,
and don't forget the corners. And
if, while you're sweeping, you notice
that that kind OF broom isn't suited to
the stairs go in and suggest new
kind. They'll like it
Brooms and back stairways had
no place in Jock McChesney's mind
as the mahogany and gold elevator
shot him up to the fourteenth floor
OF the great Office building that housed
the Berg, Shriner Company. Down the
marble hallway he went and into the
reception room. 4 cruel test it was,
that reception room, with the cruelty
peculiar to the modern in business.
With its soft-shaded lamp. its two
toned rug, its Jacobean chairs, its
agazine-laden cathedral oak table,
its pot of bright flowers making a
smart touch OF color in the somber
richness of the room, it was no place
for the shabby, the down-and-o the
cringing. the rusty. or the mendi-
can't
Jock McChesney, from the tips OF
his twelve-dollar shoes to his radiant
face, took the test and stood it tri-
umphantly. He had entered with an
air in which was mingled the brisk
ness of assurance with the languor Of
ease. There were times when Jock
McChesney was every inch the son
OF his mother.
There advanced toward Jock a
large. plump. dignihed parsonage, a
parsonage courteous, yet reserved, in

"No-but he'll see me-"
But Machiavelli had seen too
many overconhdent callers. Their very
confidence had taught him caution.

Jock smiled little patient smile
and brushed an imaginary feck of
dust from the sleeve of his very cor

Emma McChesney buttered her bit
of toast, then looked up to remark
quietly:
Hadn't you better qualify for the
trial heats, Jock, before you jump into
the finals"

ncy said, you've still to learn that
plans and ambitions are like soap
bubbles. The harder you blow and
the more you initiate them. the quick
er they burst Plans and ambitions
are things to be kept locked away in
your heart, Son, with no one but your
self TO take an occasional peep at
them"
Jock leaned over the table, with his
charming smile. YOU'RE a jealous
blonde" he laughed. Because I'm
going to be a captain OF hnance-an
advertising wizard-youre afraid III
grab the glory all away from you"
Mrs. McChesney folded her napkin
and rose. She looked unbelievably
young. and trim, and radiant, to be
the mother OF this Boosting boy.

wicked little CLINT in her blue eyes,

And then. being a modern mother,
she donned smart autumn hat and
tailored suit coat and stood ready to
reach her Office by nine-thirty. But
because she was as notherly as she
was modern she swung open the door
between kitchen and dining-room to
advise with Annie. the adept.

the hallway, then lowered her voice.

So they went stepping off to work
together, mother and son. A mother
o: twenty-five years before would
have watched her son with tear-dim-
med ewes from the vine-wreathed
porch OF a cottage. There was no
watching a son from the tenth floor
of an uptown apartment house. Be-
sides. she had her work to do. The
subway swallowed both OF them. To-
gether they jostled and swung their
way downtown in the close packed
train. At the Twenty-third street sta

Jock McChesney glared belliger-

faint CLEAN OF amusement shining
behind the absurd glasses. The
amused look changed to surprise as
he beheld the glare in Jocks eye fad
ing. For even as he glared there had
come warning to Jock-a warning
sent just in time from that wireless
station located in his subconscious
mind. A vivid face, full of pride, and
hope, and encouragement flashed be-

I'll promise not to crowd you for

the doorway, and was off with the
pleased Won Herman.
Past the double row of beehives
again, into the elevator, out again, up
narrow iron stairway, into a busy,
eluttered. skylighted room. Pictures,
posters, photographs hung all about.
Some OF the pictures Jock recognized
as old friends that had gazed IA
niliarly at him from subway trains
and street cars and theater pro-
grams. Coli clubs, tennis rackets,
walking sticks, billiard cues were
stacked up in corners. And yet there
was bare and orderly look about
the place. Two silent, shirt-sleeved
men were busy at drawing boards.
Through a doorway beyond Jock
could see others similarly engaged in
the next room. On a platform in one
corner of the room posed a young
man in one OF those costumes the

the principal factors in making women beautiful.
This is in striking contrast with what the cyncs have been tehlnS

But there is something in what Miss Cocroft says, after all.
Dissipation eventually leaves its imprint. The evil thoughts thal

like a flowing river, when they have made a deep channel 1t requires
a strong force to turn them. They can only be combaued by love
and kindness. Agree with thine adversary quickly.
ssEeaaty is no longer vanity it is use, We cant all be beautl-
full. but we can have beauty of soul. Place a beautiful hgure on
your wall, and compare that with the lines Of your own body. FIX

There is no new woman. The women Of today, Yesterday and
tomorrow are the same, but our horizons are broadening, And
this will not make us manish. We can be as sweet and dear and
1ovable in the street as III the home. We need to keep the suggestion
of right ideals constantly in mind.
