OF INTEREST TO THE WOMEN
THE STRUGGLES OF A WIFE
By Virginia Terhune Van de Water

came so nervous that she determined
to divert her thoughts into other
channels by attracting another bit of
work.
So, while she was over wrought
and nervous, she began to write a
story-a homely, sorbid tale. full of
the suspense and tension in which she,
herself, was now living.
She did not know that she was
putting herself upon the page, but SO
it was. When the story was done, the
heroine stood out as a living entity.
The writer did not recognize herself
She even wondered why, on re-read-
ing her work, she found herself sob
bing softly. She must be singularly
lacking in self-control just now, she
reflected.
She had returned from leaving
this new manuscript with the typist
when she spied, lying upon her desk,
an envelope bearing the name of the
periodical to which she had taken her
ordered article
With trembling fingers she tore it
open. 1t contained no letter. only a
check and a printed slip bearing the
name of her essay. with statement as
to the number of words composing 1t.
Thirty-ffve hundred words for $35.
Sinking weakly upon a chair, she
read the statement over and over. At
last she had sold something. Why had
not Mr.. Lawlor sent her a line saying
what he thought of her work?
She Is Very Happy
She had yet to learn that what is an
event to a writer is the smallest of
incidents to an editor.
But she was too happy to be de-
pressed by the lack of an accom-
panying letter. Here were this months
wages for her maid. Moreover, she
could now return to her husband ten
dollars of the sum she had borrowed
from him. AS to Grace-well, she
would hope to sell something else very
soon. The check she held seemd an
earnest of future payments on articles
and stories.
She said nothing to her husband
OF her success until the following
evening, when she had handed back
his ten dollars to him.
Thank you, dear" she remarked
tremulously, for the loan"
Are you sure" he inquired that
you can spare this now? You know
can wait "A while longer for it if
you wish"
THANK, you DEAR she repeated
"I have sold an article, for which /
was paid yesterday. So I can re-
turn your loan now"
She looked at him eagerly, hope
fully. Her words had been spoken
SOFTLY vet she had expected an eX-
clamation of delighted approval from
her husband. Instead he looked po-
litely and calmly interested.
"Indeed?" he rejoined. That's
very pleasant, isn't it? l congratulate
you"
That was all.
If he would only put his arms about
her and rejoice ecstatically with her!
If he would only say that he knew that
she had been working anxiously to
help him, what O. triumph the ac-
ceptance Of this article would have
been!
But that was not Horace webbs
way.

CHAPTER XII

CHAPTER XII
Copyright 1916, Star Company.
AS Myra Webb wrote her essay for
Mr. Lawlor, the knowledge that she
had a market for her work gave her
style a snap and a conciseness that
had been absent heretofore.
She had planned the outline during
the night. When morning came she
was eager to get at her desk. When
she was at last alone she seized her
pen and wrote rapidly, almost breath
lessly.
Strange to say, she had two undis-
turbed hours. Even when. al the end
of that time Lizzie interrupted her
with a timid request that she would
repeat the directions for preparing a
certain dish, the housekeeper was so
well along with her article that she
was able to supply the maids want
and resume her writing almost i'm
mediately.
Her cheeks burned with the glow
of excitement; her hands and feet
were cold and clammy by the time
lunch hour had arrived. But at heart
she was satisfied with her mornings g
work. To be sure she had no appe-
tite, but that mattered little.
The following day she revised her
manuscript and began to make clean
copy Of it. On the afternoon of the
third day she carried it to the Office at
which she had her typewriting done.
The week which Mr.. Lawlor had
given her had not yet expired when
AGyra again appeared at his office.
lie nodded to her as cavalierly as be-
fore.
"Here is the article you ordered"
she announced.
you can leave it," he said. I'll
look It over when I get a chance"
She hesitated. When can you let
me have n verdict on it?"
A shade of annoyance crossed his
face. ! don't know; I'm very busy
to-day. Let's see-how long is the
thing?"
You told me to make 1t thirty
five hundred words" Myra reminded
him. It's just that length"

he promised. Let's see-what was
the subject | wanted you to write on ?"
She told him, surprised that he
should have forgotten.

many more important matters had
crowded it out of my mind. That's
the article l wanted right away,
isn't it? Then I'll have to read it
soon. Leave me your address. I'll
let you hear from me-
She must be content with this, she
knew, turning her steps toward home
with a sense of disappointment. Yet
what else had she expected?
During the next week she lived in
suspense. Not line came from Mr..
Lawlor. Her pride prevented her
calling him up to ask for his de-
cision. Several times as she walked
past shops displaying public tele-
phone signs she had a strong temp
tation TO go in and ask to be con-
nected with the Office of the maga-
zine of which Mr.. Lawlor was edi-
tor. Then her common sense assert
ed itself and she hurried on ashamed
of her own folly.
What did his silence mean? she
wondered. After three days she be-

SOAP AND OINTMENT

my little girls trouble began by her
mead coming out in small water blisters and
when they would burst, wherever the water
would touch. it would form sore part and
there would soon be scale on it. and so on
until the whole head was a terrible sight.
My little boy was affected with the trouble
and In few days was broken out all over his
body. My daughter was annoyed very
much and my little boy was continually
scratching. They had the trouble month
and it was very bad. itching and burning
and they both lay awake nights.
Remembering what Cuticura Soap and
Ointment had done for my two other
children made up my mind to try them.
In six weeks they were entirely healed"

From pyorrhea come by far the
greater part of all tooth troubles.
Unless treated and checked, it will
result not only IL the shrinking and
malformation of your gums and of
the bony structure into which your
teeth are set, but in the loss of the
teeth themselves.
A specific for pyorrhea has been
discovered recently by dental SCI
ence, and is now offered for daily
treatment in Senreco Tooth Paste.
Senreco combatS the germ of the
disease. Its regular use insures your
teeth against the attack or further
progress of pyorrhea.

you that you have the dread disease byorrhsa.

A Ihiefs Answer,

See? There was two young fellows in
New York. and they was crooked. See?
And they didn't succeed. They went
to Philadelphia, and they turned over
a new leaf and agreed to be square and
honest. They opened a clothing store.
See? And they prospered. They got

rowed 100000 to enlarge their busi-
ness. and then they failed and got

Industrial Courts.

been followed by Germany. Switzer-

ers sit rs d jury rather than as a
court. Lawyers are barred. The par
ties to the dispute take turns relating
grievance and defense, and in conse-
quence Of this simplicity DO per cent
of the cases are adjusted without
formal hearings. In event Of threat
ened strikes or lockouts the courts
have the power to sit as boards of ar
bitration. and it Is only in rare cases
that satisfactory agreements are not
reached.

cedure with the American method Of

versed decisions. remanded cases.

Jefferson's Letter.

A few lines written by Jefferson to
friend in q foreign country ruined the
warm friendship which had existed be-
tween him and Washington. The let
ter is known historically as "Jefferson's
letter."
jefferson sent letter to Philip MAJ"
zei, an Italian. in April, 1896. Mazzei
published an Italian translation Of it
in Florence the next year. 1t was re-
translated into French and published
in French newspapers, from which it
found its way into the British papers
and to America.
In this letter Jefferson opposed the
Jay treaty and commented freely
against Washington and his admins
tration as Anglican, monarchical and
aristocratic. This letter destroyed
Washington's faith in Jefferson.
