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

"Oh!" Myra started in astonish-
ment. This kind of thing had been
going on, yet she, the girls mother,
had not suspected it. II never knew
dear. that he was paying you any
serious attention." she said.
"Of course you don't" Grace
agreed. II certainly would not tell
you of 1t until 1 was sure that ]

not talk of such things, and l would

relevantly.
Myra Expresses Sorrow
She had been secretly glad to
note that Courtney was once more
paying her daughter some atten-
tion. She wondered sometimes If
| Grace was not more fond of him
than of any other man.
Graces frown disabused her
mind of this impression. Yes. he
does appear frequently" the girl
admitted, land l do not care If he
never comes again. He is agreea-
bic and polite, but 1 have not for
gotten the way he behaved when
he first came to our tiny apart
ment soon after fathers failure.
Now that he thinks we are again
on the upward road - because OF
the improvement in our style OF
living = he is quite willing to call
and is almost eager to have me &c
to various places with him. But

times more. / do not intend to be

.Jews Urged to Be Good
Americans by Schif
.SeectaI to tn Telegraph

New York, May ga strong plea
for his hearers to be good Jews and at
the same time good Americans was
made by Jacob II. Schiff yesterday at
the exercises dedicating the Central
Jewish Institute. in East Eighty fifth
street near Lexington avenue.
Jews of America possess a great ad-
vantage over any other people" said
Mr.. Schiff. Jews of the city of New
York stand at the parting of the ways.
Are we to be American Jews or Jews
who happen to dwell in America? The
great trouble of Jews in Russia was
that they insisted upon speaking their
own language and adhering too closely
to their own customs. This made preju-
dice; persecution quickly followed.
$50 1T is in this country, and we must
profit by the sufferings of our fore
fathers. We want our children to be
Jews and remain loyal to Judaism. |
love Yiddish and 1t is a fine thing for
our children to read the laws and Bible
in the original language. But we want
also to have our children grow up
Americans and have American ways

Thousands Spend Sabbath
Afternoon in River Park

If you were in doubt as to the popu-
larity of the River Front, you should
have walked along the steps and the
higher walk along the slope yesterday.
You would have met some thousands
of cheerful Harrisburgers who are find
ing this promenade one of the most
delightful features of the outdoor life
of the city.
Just now the Department of Parks is
doing what it can to restore the dam
age resulting from high water. but
finds it's progress somewhat retarded by
the absence of labor. Many men could
be employed at this time II they were
available.
1t is the intention of the department
to continue the alignment of the upper
walk at the top of the slope and the
planting of the necessary shrubbery to
properly hedge the top of the em-
bankment.
Parents can do much to prevent dam
age by seeing to 1t that their children
do not break the park rules by de-
stroying the shrubbery and running
over the embankment at every point.

CHAPTER XXXU

CHAPIEtt AAAtI
Downright, 1915, Star Coz
Horace Webb had told his wife that
it made a man feel queer to be spoken
of as the husband of his wife, in
stead of being recognized on his own
merits. He would have been aston
ished and puzzled had he been told
that this remark hurt Myra.
A man cannot understand that
such a speech seems like reproach
TO the woman to whom he addresses
f.. In this case the wife decided
more strongly than ever that her
literary work was a thing in which
her husband did not sympathize.
Yet the irony of the situation
vas that it was because of this
very work that he. she and Grace
were now enabled to maintain
some semblance of the style to
which they had once been accus-
toned
or two evils one must choose the
lesser. AS much as she disliked to
put her husband in a position which
he termed queer" she felt that he
suffered less in such position than
he would in living as simply as
was imperative If his income was
the only money that came into the
family.
So she toiIed on day after day,
silent about her effort, silent about
her successes.
For she was successful. To be
sure, an occasional manuscript was
returned to her from some editor,
but these reflections were the ex-
ceptions not the rule.
Late in the Spring the Imperial
Magazine published her story en-
titled. The Truth" She looked over
it and the accompanying tllustra-
tons, then laid the magazine away
where Horace would not see 1t. She
learned later that he had bought the
periodical and read the story. Grace
told her so.
Horace is Appreciative
Father likes your last story bet
ter than he did the first one" the
girl remarked to her mother.

he has read it, has he? 1 did not
know that he had seen it."
He got the magazine downtown
and took 1T to his office. 1 know he
read your story. because I asked
was very good. l think it is, too,
mother" she added.
Thank you, dear child" Myra
acknowledged gratefully.
She would not confess that her
husbands silence seemed like a re-
buke to her. But Grace was keen
and suspected the truth.
Father says very little about
your writing, I know" she re-
marked. But / am sure that does
not mean that he is not interested
in all you do. Men are queer any
way. mother"
"Perhaps they are" the mother
rejoined, land perhaps we women
do not understand them" She did
not want Grace to suspect that her
fathers behaviour ever wounded his
wife. So, anxious to change the
subject, she continued. And yet
dear. you seem to get on very well
with men"
The girl flushed. well, there is
one man I will not get on very well
with any longer" she said. THAT
is Mr.. Perkins. I like him, and |
Ike his sister even better - and
now he has had TO spoil a perfectly
pleasant friendship by asking me to
marry him"

The Country School.

In a recent issue we talked
about the country school and its
relations to the upbuilding of
any rural community. Now we
want to say something again
about the country school.
Get acquainted with the school
teacher. Measure, if you can, her
fitness for her place. Discuss it
with your pastor and friends
generally. The success of the
school largely depends upon the
teacher.
Largely depends, but not al
together. The parents are an i'm
portant element in the success
of the school. They must show
their interest in it; they must be
prepared to cooperate with the
teacher in her recommendations
for the Improvement of the
school. They must see that the
school house is comfortable and
healthy and attractive. 1t is a
house in which their children
spend a large part of their lives,
and it ought to be a comfortable
house, making study easy and
the school years cheerful.
Give your children the best
education within reach. Educa-
tion is something they do not
lose. You may leave them money,
and it takes wings and flies
away. You may give them a
great deal of advice. Some will
remain with them, but much of
it will be forgotten. You can give
them good name, which is bet
ter than riches; they may dis
honor it. But give them good
education. Let them feel they are
masters of their own faculties.
Education begins at school, but
it is continued in the field and
around the fireside. See that they
get it all. Then when trouble
comes they know how to face it.
They will know how to deal with
financial difficulties, They will
know better, through education,
how to resist temptation. Every
year they will value education
more, because it makes the in
dividual worth more, regardless
of the money he makes or loses.
Hence we say education is the
best thing parents can give to
their children. The city is draw
ing away thousands from the
farm because of the better stan
dards of the rural schools and so
keep many of these at home.

The Law of The Road.

Since the automobile has come
into such general use more per-
sons than ever are interested in
the law of the road. Our good
friend The Press and Banner
gives a gentleman who required
of him about it the following
advice:
He tells us that nearly ev-
erybOdy knows that, when you
meet a man on the road. you
should trun to the right but
that very few people know the
law as to passing a person whom
you overtake, and he wishes to
give him some light on this ques-
ton, and that we publish the ad-
vice in our paper.
The Colonel first asked us
this question on the street and
we were not prepared to answer
it Just at that time. Besides, we
have quit giving advice on the
street.
However, since he has come
TO the law Office of the writer
twice since that time to ascer.
tain Just what the law is, we
have concluded that we woult
enlighten him, and at his request
give it to the public. and es.
pecially the gentlemen named

amount. We only give him about
fifteen dollars worth to start
with, because we do not desire tc
make him pay for more than he
wants. For that amount, we ad
