The Girl Who Works.
BY RUTH CAMERON

The mother of the girl-who-works
cannot see why the latter is not pleas
ed at an invitation from her cousin to
spend the weekend with them
You always used to be fond of
your cousin and your aunt" she says
pla1ntively, land you haven't seen
them for year. 1 don't know what's
come over you since you went into
that office
But I've had an unusually hard
week and I'm fearfully tired, mother
says the l-who-works.
Then 1 should think it would rest
you to get away from home
But I'm not at home much of the
time"
Don't you care anything about your
cousins any more?'
You know 1 do impatiently, but
1 felt as if I'd rather not be with
any one that 1 would have to have
company manners for tomorrow I'd
like to sleep and lie in the hammock
and read and wear my old clothes, and
not have to put myself out to talk to
any one if 1 didn't want to-
We'll, you're a strange girl. When
1 was your age, L would have been de-
lighted to go and spend the day with
my cousins"
When you were my age, you
weren't working in an office"
Il was helping my mother with
housework for a family of eight, and
1 was mighty glad when I could get
a rest like that
The girl shrugged her shoulders
YEARLY and went back to her maya
zine. They had come to an impasse,
that mother and daughter, an i'm
passe they had often faced before, an
impasse made up of inability on the
part of each to comprehend the 9th
er's viewpoint.
The mother, weary of the round of
housework and the monotony of four
walls, looked upon a visit where one S
eyes would meet with different sur
roundings and one would eat some
one else's cooking and talk with De
loved relations as wonderful rest
The daughter, mentally and ply
sically jaded, from strenuous days at
the office; looked upon visit with
the inevitable exactions of visiting, the
smiles, the interest in other people
affairs, the accommodating of ones
self of other peoples hours, the OBJ
ligatory enjoyment of other people S
pleasures, the meeting of new people,
as something requiring an intensely
abhorrent effort.
Only someone who has had both ex-
periences can sympathize with both.
1t is this same impasse on either
side of which husbands and wives Of
ten Stand-the monotony-Wear1ed
wife wondering why the husband does
N Z want TO go out somewhere, anu liic
over-tired husband wondering why his
wife isn't content to rest in the peace
and freedom of home
That is one way in which the wo-
man who has worked makes the bet
ter wife. She can understand her hus-
bands longing for complete relaxation
as the woman who has not had that
experience never can.
Of course, it is not right for the Of
flee worker to slump down too COM
pletely. Sometimes the effort to meet
people and get a change of scene and
thought brings its own reward of u1ti-
mate RESIDENCES. But, on the other
hand, her mental WEAKNESS, her
shrinking from the exactions of So
ciety, should be respected by those

So after many explanations, Celia

Dicks half perfectly.
Did you Uncle Joe know all about
me and about my mother?' questioned
Celia at last.
Dick nodded. "Of course! 1 couldn't
talk enough about you. I remember
he once told me that he used to know
girl named Celia Dupee, who had
married man named Moore
THAT was mothers name-and,
Dick, your Uncle Joe must have been

guessed that she still had the broken
sixpence, and In sending you after it

'Bless his hearti" muttered Dick
with misty eyes. But, dearest" he
added, with a shudder, "he was TAX

he saw the spider and quickly they

Quick as a flash, the spider was
wide awake Out from his fat body
he pulled long firm thread, down
through the air he swung himself ana
