was no longer school girl. He could
not but notice the admiring glances
of the young men they passed in rid
ing homeward She smiled pleasantly
at some of them, and he was much
perturbed by it.
She was fast budding into woman
hood. Had he kept her there too
long? Of this he was sure Some
thing ought to be done at once. Yet
he did not know exactly what or how.
Deborah pleaded for delay. The girl
was quite young, she argued, and be-
fore the time would come for her
marriage, definite plans could be
adopted.
1t was during such discussion that
Genevieve rushed into the house,
flushed and all excited.
"Going to the State Ball tonight
with Chandler Ralston. | forgot to
tell you. He wrote me about it at
school, He asked me if would go,
and l wrote him I would"
She could hardly get the words on:
of her mouth fast enough. The
thought that there were but few
hours left before the ball-her first
real ba1l-made her all the more ex-
cited. She did not notice the tragic
effect of her words on her fond par
ents at that moment. Mordecai was
deathly pale.
"What?" he exclaimed, you, my
daughter, go to ball with young
Ralston. Never" He was furious.
Naive child She could not under
stand. Chandler, she knew, belonged
to one of the finest families in the
State, and his parents were on the
most intimate and cordial terms with
the Halprins. What wrong was there
could there be-in her going with
him, especially to THE social event
of the year in Alabama-the Estate
Ball."
The newspapers, she remembered,
were always full of the wonderful
gowns worn, and the prominent per-
sons from all over the State that at
tended. Invitations we're sent out
only to the elite But one other girl
in town was going, and she was con-
siderably older. She had looked for
ward to this affair with so much Joy.
She pleaded and cried as though her
heart would break But her tears and
entreaties proved unavailing. Her
father remained unmoved.
Deborah was uncertain as to Just
what ought to be done. Of course,
she would under no circumstances
have permitted a marriage with Raj

a Christian. Yet she could not with
stand the compliment which Raj
ston's invitation carried with it to
her daughter to herself, as the
mother who had raised her, and
whom she resembled SO closely. She
didn't want her daughter to love
the young man, and had even de-
cided not to let her go out with
him again But she was pleased to
know, and to have others know, that
the son Of "General' Ralston, a dis
tinguished Confederate soldier, pres
ident of the bank, and the wealthiest
man of the county-his son, Chand-
Ter Ralston, the finest young man in
town, thought SO highly of her
daughter
automatically, she took the mid
die ground Of course, Genevieve
should not have promised to go, GER
tainly not without consulting her
parents. It might lead to misunder-
standing, to gossi p. But then, now
adays, a girls going out with
young man doesn't necessarily mean
a courtship. She doesn't have to
marry the man. At any rate, the
engagement had already been made.
TO break it suddenly at this stage
would be difficult to explain, and
perhaps hurt the young mans feel
ings. 1t might even disturb the
pleasant relations which had existed
between the families for a number
of years. In fact, the RalstOnS were
among the first and staunchest
friends of the family, and-she knew
what would prevail over her hus-
band-they might misinterpret this
act as an unkindness, and as evil
dence of interpretation. Couldn't

girl instinctively saw her oppor-
tunity; she knew how passionately
her father loved her. She sobbed
aloud. At last he consented, but on
her sacred promise that she would
never again go out with Chandler
or any other Christian.
Early in the evening, the young
man called for her. He was, indeed,
an attractive, well-bred, and lovable
fellow. Mordecai watched him
closely, and saw his adoring eyes
follow her every move. He regret
ted having consented to let her go.

Continued from last week.
His daughter had chosen to
give Genevieve as her middle name
upon entering school, and soon came
to be known entirely by it-caused
him great concern. She was bright,
tall for her age, and popular. Now
and then he would devote an hour to
teaching her Hebrew. Great was his
Joy when she was able to read the
prayer book, and even understand a
little more of the more important pas
sages.
Later she went to boarding school;
and there developed a beautiful So
prano voice. On coming home for
vacation or holidays, she would often
spend an hour singing. Many would
gather around the house to hear her,
or sit on the nearby porches to listen
to the sweet strains. Mordecai could
then be seen sitting in front of the
house, as if to shield her from out
siders. To please him, she would
conclude with some Hebrew song that
he had taught her, adding a little
piano accompaniment of her own.
In his letters to her at school, he
frequently managed to refer to some
Jewish question, and urged her to give
her views in reply Often he en-
closed clippings from various papers,
containing extracts of speeches deliv-
cred at Jewish gatherings in the East,
or stories of the sufferings of their
people in Europe. Now and then she
would reply quite sympathetically.
Still he was uneasy. Somehow or
other, he feared that these topics were
foreign to her, and that she answered
mechanically and merely out of love
for him. He consoled himself, how
ever, with the thought that she was
yet quite young, that ere long she
would be through with her schooling,
the railroad company would buy the
land at his figure; he would soon be
able to move away, and perhaps re-
tire altogether, SO as to give the rest
of his life entirely to her. Mean
while, his success in business con-
tinued, and the social prestige of the
family kept pace with his wealth.
Thus passed eighteen years. The
girl was already in her second year at
college, and was returning home for
the Christmas vacation When Nor
decai met her at the station he realized

obviously insufficient.
"And you have no double bed? We would

Husband, the advertising husband, who sees
himself living alone all over seven rooms,
makes the coaxing offer:
"But, We'll get you fine brass bed"
Husbands wife looks at him darkly, wonder

fall, for he knows, or ought to know, that she
hates brass beds worse than rubber plants and
