day after day, and sometimes until
far into the night, working on his
first novel.
Kindling the Worlds Kinship was
the title Of his book, which came out
early in the fall, when the summer
oilers returning to the city. It was
the story of a millionaire mine owner,
who, when he went for the first time
to inspect conditions in his mines In
the hope Of averting a strike, was oy-
erwhelmed with the responsibility
resting upon him in providing the
means of existence for that small
world OF workers. With the aid Of
a miner and his daughter. who proved
a sort Of prophet and prophecies for
their people, the mine owner faced
this responsibility so frankly and dis.

Marian, are you actually engaged
to that penniless young dreamer, Ger
aid Holmes? Mrs. Martyr threw this
question abruptly at her niece, whom
she had Just summoned to her apart
ment by telephone.
Yes, Aunt Caroline, admitted Ma
rian, with a smile, for, although fond
Of her worldly aunt, she was also
amused at her sometimes. But my
decision wasn't based on pennies so
much as on principles. It's making
money the first consideration that
makes SO many marriages a failure.
My dear, those idealistic& notions are
out Of joint with these practical
times.
Idealism is needed now more than
ever before to Offset this materialism
that demands money down before a
marriage takes place.
That might be a better argument,
said Mrs. Martyr, were 1t not tina,
idealistic people get quite as hungry
and require almost. as many clothes
as the rest Of us, and hence are as
much affected by the high cost Of liv-
ing. Would you mind telling me
whether you had thought OF that?
Yes. Even idealistic people know
there is a practical side % life, and
were not going to marry until Ger.
aid has arrived in his literary work,
sor has demonstrated that he cannot
hope to arrive. In the latter case,
we'll adjust ourselves to his salary as
a local Journalist and hope for occa.
sional w%indfalls from our joint efforts
in literary work.
Dreaming, as usual. Mrs. Martyr
shook her well-groomed gray head.
Still. I've hopes that you'll wake up
before it's too late. Come with me to
the seashore and make yourself agree.

do you say? .

1t isn't that, but you haven't seen
