Well, she had made some plans and she thought I ought to give up the lecture. She does a lot for me and hated to refuse. Finally I put it up to my friend, and she said it would be all right, and afterwards I found out that she was awfully hurt. It's a dreadful mess. I've been almost sick over it."

ton, replied Bob Crafton's wife He's alWays saying it would lay him out cold to do the stunts I get away with the language being Bob's.
 But seriously, my dear" Mrs. Crafton went on, you fascinate me. You have the oldest ideas But you aren't bored, are you? I'd give any thing on earth to feel eager and in terested as you are"
 Aren't you interested in the things you do?,'
 "No'
 ''Then why do them ?'
 What can I do?'
 There are a million things to do that would simply absorb you with interest and delight" cried Janet. "Why, I have a friend, the wife of the man l work for. He is tenement commissioner, and his wife, my friend, Cora Temple, has half a dozen famil- ies she has rescued from poverty and sickness, found work for, taught, be- friended in a hundred ways. She has made it possible for the children to stay in school. She has even fitted up a playroom in her own house where the children of her families play with her own two babies. She's crazy
 
 what is it? Whats the matter?'
 For Mrs. Grafton had suddenly clutched Janet's hand under the fur motor robe and was pressing 1t, evil dently to hush her. She was biting her lip and winking very fast. Janet guessed instantly that she had inad- verently touched a raw spot in this strange woman's soul.
 ''Th ere! Don't think me a fool" Mrs. Grafton said hurriedly. "1 didn't mean to act silly. It's just because tits been so recent. I should be altogether a different woman if my baby had lived. And-and there'll never be another * * I suppose you think I'm crazy; frivolous thing like me talking this way. Sometimes I think I am little crazy.
 TT guess you can't know how I wanted that-that baby. Hav- ing him just seemed to change every thing But all my love. all my mon ey, all the science and skill in the world couldn't keep him. Sometime maybe I'll tell you about it. I cant now But som metime I will. I can talk to you"
 Janet was too astonished, and too awed, and too sorry, and too puzzled, to speak.

The Heart That Yearned

It surprised Janet that Mrs. Graf ton sought her company. To Janet, it seemed as if they had nothing in com- mon. Janet, business woman. Janet
 a wife who loved her husband and was by him beloved. Janet, who had always been busy and useful. Janet, to whom money had always been earned, and we'll earned. Janet, to whom home meant much and to whom this luxurious stay at an ex- pensive hotel was an extreme novelty. Dorothea Strang Crafton-born a New York strang, that old family, you know, with the mansion at the corner of University place-a society woman; Dorothea, who had always had money and yet who married money. Dorothea, to whom a hus- band was a bllpayer and outside of that rather a bore. Dorothea, who had never done any harder work in her life than arrange a cotillion or a series of musical mornings at the Wal ledoff. Dorothea, to whom home was a place to stay in once in 8 while when convenient. Dorothea, who had brought her Shattered nerves" to the Hill Farms Inn, but found nothing there quite satisfactory.
 Yet it was because they were of different worlds that they found each other interesting.
 And so you actually work!" Mrs. Grafton was saying as the two were out one day in the Grafton car. Work in an office as a mans secretary. How quaint! Doesn't your husband mind? ?"
 Janet smiled. Again that question, which she had learned to answer quite patiently. since so many persons asked it of her.
 Why should he?" I don't mind his working in an off1ce.'
 NO, of course not. But men are so much stronger than we are."
 Are they?" countered Janet. "I often wonder how they would manage to take care of a house. cook, wash, weave, spin, sew, bear ten children and bring them up and do missionary and church work in spare time as our reat-Erandm others did. And dance all night, skate, ride, play ten his and golf, go to bridge parties, din- ners and theaters, entertain in stuffy bathrooms, attend musical mornings and physic afternoons and social eve- nings as modern women do. Some times I think mems work Is much easier and simpler than ours.'

To Rundown Nervous Women

Louisville, Ky.-~'I was a nervous wreck, and in a weak, rundown con- dtion when a friend asked me to try Vinol I did so, and as a result I have gained in health and strength.

"Why is she so hard to get along with?" I asked someone the other day in regard to a woman who has that reputation.
 Well" he said, she's one of those people who are always imagining that other people are thinking this or that. She won't be in the house twen- ty-four hours before she'll be saying, T know you think so-and-so' And so-and-so is something dispara ging to her or something you think she sould not have done. If you say you didn't think that, she'll say, You acted as if you did and you can sec she still thinks so She keeps any home she's in stirred up.'
 Making Hard Work of Human .. Do you recognize that woman? I do. She is one of those unhappy peo-
 pie who make hard work of human
 relationships instead of taking them simply and happily.
 Perhaps I should call 1t a tendenc cy rather than type, because it is so common, almost universal. Of course, she Is an exaggerition of l the tendency, but I think most of us | do allow a great deal of unnecessary 1 unhappiness to get into our lives | through this channel.

As perhaps most of our readers
know, Congress has passed the
Federal Farm Loan Act. 1t im-
poses on the cummunity a rather
cumbersome machinery, which will
take some time to get into oper
alton, and under the ruling spirit
of the money monopoly in this
country, probably could not be
avoided.
The 'Publishers Auxiliary has
given the press of the country the
following synopsis of the bill
which will greatly facilitate the
understanding of il:
