life, his work, the office. Then could
find no name, no reason for the change
l found in him.
Instead of laying the long days
with me as he had done at Atlantic
City he was up and away very early.
1t took him nearly an hour to reach his
office where he was due at eight
o clock. He did not get home until
after six at night. His dinner then

CHAPTER III

If Atlantic City had seemed won
ldcrland to me, New York was mar
Vicious. Even in all the excitement
Of shopping and furnishing our little
apartment | was in constant state of
wonder and delight at the magnitude
of the great city in which | was to
live. The colossal buildings whose tops
| could not see without getting crick
in my neck, the broad streets teeming
with life and color, the immense traf-
,ic so ably handled were, to the coun-
try girl l then was, sources of unend-
ing wonder.
Tom S mother had sent up several
pieces of quaint old furniture, which
now know were almost priceless, but
which | then rather resented. 1t was
the kind | had been accustomed to all
my life, and in my Judgment infinitely
inferior to the cheap, but up to date
furniture | saw exploited in the shop
windows. At first we bought only the
absolute necessities Tom was terribly
set against running in debt, altho |
couldn't see for the life of me what
difference ii made when he earned so
much-l200 dollars But in the end we
had to get some things on the INSTALL
ment plan, which seemed to me quite
the comfortable thing to do. We would
not miss the little we paid each week,
on them, and could be comfortable in
the meantime.
"We won't buy a single thing we
can do without, - Tom said, ''but as
it will be cheaper and better for US
to commence housekeeping at once we
will get few things this way. But
never after we get going. We pay
FOR all we have Sue, then we II always
know whore we stand.

'T ALL WHO HATE
WOULD LOVE Us

II all who hate would love Us.
And all our leves were true,
The stars that swing above US
Would brighten in the blue;
Ii cruel words were kisses,
And every scowl a smile,
A better world than this is
Would hardly be worth while;
If purses would not tighten
To meet a brothers. 5 need,
The load we bear would tighten
Above the grave of greed.
If those who whine would whistle,
And those who languish laugh.
The rose would rout the thistle,
The grain outrun the chaff;
Ii hearts were only jolly,
If grieVing were forgot,
And tears of melancholy
Were things that now are not,
Then love would kneel to duty,
Then all the world would seem
\ bridal bower of beauty.
\ dream within dream.
If men would cease to worry.
And women cease to sigh,
And all be glad to bury
Whatever has to die;
If neighbor smoke to neighbor.
As love demands of all,
The rust would eat the saber.
The spear stay on the wall;
Then every day would glisten,
And every eye would shine,
And God would pause and listen,
And life would be divine.
