HER .SIDEs--AND HIS
THAT PITYING LOOK
By ZOE BECKLEY

The Stedmans had got back from their shortened honeymoon. David Temple in sisted that his new secretary, Janet Sted- man, take the full time he had allotted for the bridal trip. T don't care if you are a business woman" he argued, you are bride, too. And as you may never be a bride again, you are going to have your few weeks holiday from the work aday."
 So Janet gratefully set about to find a home and get it in order It was on one of her house hunting excursions while Walt was Investigating the suggestion of a chum of his, who wanted to sub-let them his apartment, that Janet met an old school friend on the street The friend, married and prosperous, greeted her effusively.
 Why, Janet Thayerr" she gurgled. 'I haven't seen you in years! How well you are lookingY'
 That's because I'm happy, I guess. Twelve just been married
 NO! Oh, do tell me all about 1t! He's the Perfect Man, I suppose; just as my husband is. And is he handsome and rich?"
 Janet smiled and Shook her head She had noted the expensive clothes of the other woman, and the jeweled rings that made big bulges under her white kid gloves. No he isn't exactly rich,'' she answered, feeling her schoolmate's ap- pralSing glance run over her from hat to boots and register slight but per ceptible disapprovaL But he is good looking, And-well, we're going to be hap py, I think"
 'Of course you are" replied the other perfunctorily. You must come to see me. We're at the Ritz while our house is being done over I want to give you a luncheon. Let's see, how would a week from Wednesday do?"
 "Oh, I'm a business woman," smiled Ja- net. I'm afraid I couldn't make it a luncheon. Perhaps some evening-%

Dashton. slightly lifting her eyebrows. How very Interestingly I remember now, dear, you always were so bright and orig inal But why keep it up now you re married-the work, I mean?
 Well, in the first place, I love my work" said Janet, feeling that her friend didn't believe it, land in the second place I saw no reason why we should postpone indefinitely the making of home and the comradeship and-and all that, she ended rather lamely. She felt like run ming away from this woman who did not understand and who was regarding her with actual pity.
 "I see," said the woman, who didn't see at all, and was wondering why Janet Thayer so pretty and so capable, had not been able to find a man who could sup port her" She herself had married an enormously wealthy man. She had made "a brilliant match" She would have scorned any other. She did not yearn for what Janet called "comradeship.' She did not even care to have the bother of refurnishing her own handsome home. She had put it into the hands of profess sional decorators Her husband was a payer of bills. His life was his office and his club. "Comradeship?" Mercy, what a bore! "Self-support? Horrors, what a calamity
 Well, that's very nice and sensible of you, I'm sure,' she smiled at Janet, and started to move away. S0-SO modern! But you really must come and see me sometime, won't you? So glad to have seen you, dear, good-by.'
 Janet felt her pitying glance long after she had gone. And it burned into her heart painfully.
 That's what I must expect from loads of people" she told herself. Hardly anybody will understand, I suppose, and see things my way They'll think me a poor, forlorn creature who has married a ne'er-do-well." She felt her color ris- ing and her heart beating faster as she said the words to herself.
 "But don't care" she added. "I know I'm right I need no pity, and will per- init none. I have work and love, and we'll have a real home-a goodereal realer than the homes of some who feel sorry for me-"

WOMEN DOING THINGS

One does not hear much about woman suffrage at Russellville, but Franklin county women are doing their bit in the promotion of agricultural preparedness and in furthering the educational inter ests of the county. Mrs Minnie Thomp- son, editor and owner of the Franklin County Times, is as energetic as she is charming. She conducts her paper along constructive lines, and is given much credit for the progressive spirit one finds as soon as one begins to mingle among the Russellville citizens. Education and diversification are big words in her jour-
 nalistic platform, and she has the con fidence of her readers. Assisting her is Miss Elizabeth Duncan, sister to Prof. l. N. Duncan of the Auburn agricultural experiment station, who Is doing a really remarkable work among the tomato club girls of Franklin county. This young woman is constantly on the road from one end of the county to the other and the people of Franklin say that she could

he ran over the reptile which some
what impeded its progress. he then
alighted and killed the snake, which
proved to be one of the prettiest spec
linens of the copperhead family ever
seen in this section.
Being a female its head was as
bright as FURNISHED copper, while the
underneath portion Of its body was al
most equally bright. It's back and
sides were covered with the most
beautiful spots. and its fangs, with
which it delivered its deadly bite.
