MMissinnU Girls.

There are a number of women just
as there are q number of men who
wish to walk from their immediate
stagnant circle out into the very large
world of many currents and many ad-
ventures. Perhaps the growing inde-
pendence Of women has something to
do with this movement. If statistics
were available we should not be sur
prised if many a ''lady tramp" were
practicing stenography and other cleri-
cal vocations in the business world.
AS soon as many women have become
sufficiently equipped to be self-support-
ing they have cast from the old moor
ings and have sailed the social seas
with all the independence Of the bach
elormaid. A room, flower boxes, pop
ular fiction, attendance upon the legi-
innate and moving theaters in the
company of other women, no family
ties, no dull household routine-per-
haps this kind of life is creating
class of women with which our social
system will be forced to reckon, and
which will rob the missing" Of the
glamour of romance, but give them
position Of far greater respectability.-

or quartet of young men engaged in
the exchange of views on metaphysics,
literature or art. We two or three or
four spent ambrosial nights, Robert

reaches of hypothesis too vast for US

CHAPTER VII.
A Ereudian Physician.


Roses arrival at the dinner-a little
late, to be sure, but not scandalously
created a mild sensation. None of
the other guests were strangers, either,
on whom she could have the effect
Of novelty. But when she came into
the drawing room-in such q wonder
full gown-put on tonight because she
felt somehow like especially pleasing
Rodney-when she came in, she re-
oxygenated the social atmosphere.
She was, in fact, a stranger. Her
voice had a bead on it which reused
a perfectly unreasoning physical eX-
citement-the kind of bead which, in
singing, makes all the difference be-
tween a church choir and grand opera.
The glow they were accustomed to
in her eyes concentrated itself into
flashes, and the flush that so often,
and so adorably, suffused her face,
burned brighter now in her cheeks and
left the rest pale.
And these were true indiceS of the
changes that had taken place within
her. From sheer numb incredulity,
she had reacted to q fine glow of in
dignation. She had found herself sud-
denly feeling lighter, older, indescrib-
ably more confident. They shouldn't
suspect her humiliation or her hurt.
Her husband, James Randolph re-
flected, had evidently either been max
ing love to her, or indulging in the civil
lied equivalent of beating her; he was
curious to find out which. And, having
learned from his wife that Rose was
to sit beside him at the table, he
made up his mind that he would. A
physician of the Freudian school, train
ed to analyze peoples souls, he was
we'll equipped to find out, without
Roses knowledge.
He didn't attempt it, though during
his first talk with her-confned him
self vigorously to the carefully sifted
chaff which does duty for polite con-

"Well, I've found way to stop my
neighbOrs from borrowing" said a
young suburban matron gleefully.
"You see," she explained, 1--WE are not
near any store, and, of course, some
times one has to depend on neighbor
in an emergency. But my particular
neighbor seemed to have such emerg-
encies nearly every day. And it was
usually vinegar that she wanted. Now
we are particular about our vinegar,
and get the best variety, and of course
when Mrs. Neighbor asked for vinegar
we gave her our best. But when she
returned it she sent a very cheap
grade, which we were unable to use,
and were obliged to throw out.
This was rea,ated so often that we
began to weary of it, and suddenly n
bright idea struck me. l carefully
poured her cheap vinegar into bottle
and saved it. Next time she asked me
to lend her vinegar l sent her own to
her The cure worked. She has never
asked for another drop, and l sup
nose she thinks l am mean sort OF
neiebbor. But l don't care. ."-Ex-

For Our Selection,

There is a wealth of comfort In
the old maxim, 1.-THE world Is wide."
This is simply to say that it offers
q limitless field for selection. If one
fact is black, another is bright. If
a friend is false, somewhere true
friends are awaiting your coming. To
sit in a dark corner while bright life
is everywhere about you; to brood
over q sorrow, a slight privation,
when multitude Of good and gener-
GUS and hopeful deeds illustrates the
daily life of the world; to rage Mt
the limitations of your own estate
when you can make your spirit SYM
pathetically master of everything-this
is to declare an indolent and wallowing
spirit. It is form of voluntary servf-
tude to the powers of darkness.-Ex-

TELLS OF A CLEVER COLLIE
Robert Louis Stevenson Recites In.
teresting Tale of Dog Which Knew
His Masters Step.

In one of his books, Robert Louis
Stevenson writes of his friend, John
TODD, a shepherd who had spent his
days herding sheep on the Pentland
hills, in Scotland. Many a talk these
two had together as they roamed the
hillsides with the dogs and sheep, and
John had endless stories of the days
when the drove roads, which now lie
green and solitary, were busy thor
oughfares, thronged with droyers and
their beasts. Of sheep dogs John has
much to tell, and here is one Of his
stories as Stevenson tells it:
"Once," he writes, "when John had
specially clever sheepdog, he had
bought some sheep in Edinburgh, and
On the way out, the road being crowd
ed, two were lost. This was re-
proach to John, and q slur upon tho
dog; and both were alive to their mis-
fortune. Word came, after some days,
that farmer about Braid had found
pair Of sheep; and thither went John
and the dog to ask for restitution.
But the farmer was hard man and
stood upon his rights. How were they
marked? he asked; and since John
had bought right and left from many
sellers he had no notion Of the marks.
Very well,' said the farmer, then it's
only right that I should keep them
Well said John, it's a fact that l
cannae tell the sheep; but if my dog
can, will ye let me have them? The
farmer was honest as well as hard,
and, besides, daresay, he had little
fear Of the ordeal; so he had all the
sheep upon his farm into one large
park, and turned Johns dog into their
midst. That hairy man Of business
knew his errand we'll; he knew that
John and he had bought two sheep and
Ito their shame) lost them about Bor-
oughmuirhead: be knew, besides {
that they were come to Braid for theft
recovery; and without pause or blum
der singled out, first one and then an!
other, the two waits. And the
shepherd and his dog-what do say?
the true shepherd and his man-set
off together by Fairmilehead in jocund
humor, and smiled togither' all the
way home, with the two recovered ones
before them"

DIETING.

Dieting is the pastime of those who
are physically unfit for more active
recreations 1t may be enjoyed in
doors or out, and though 1t is not SO
vigorous as football nor so exciting
as hunting wild game, yet it has many
thrills. Perhaps its most tense mo-
ments are at mealtime when one
reaches high pitch of excitement at
sight of some thin soup and two hard
crackers. One becomes in fact so ex-
cited that one is obliged to hold tight
to the chair. 1t is particularly ex-
citing to realize that one is likely to
fly into a frenzy at any moment and
eat everything in sight. The scales
are almost indispensable to dieting, al
though, for that matter, they are al
most Indispensable to fish. However,
to be anything at ALL diet must have
pair of scales. 1t will amuse you
to see that every time you are about
to step on the scales you think per-
haps you have lost little weight

Whereupon he shot q look at her
and observed that evidently he wasn't
as much of a pioneer as he thought.
She did not rise to this cast, how
ever "All right" she said; admitting
that her ankles are serious and her
mind isn't, what is Joan going to do
about ite"
"It's easier to say what she's not to
do" he decided, after hesitating mo-
ment. Her fatal mistake will be to
despise her ankles without disciplining
her mind. If she will take either
one of them seriously, or both for
that matter - it's possible - she'll do
very we'll"
He could, no doubt, have continued
upon the theme indefinitely, but the
table turned the other way just then
and Rose took up an alleged CONVEX
sat1on with the man at her right which
lasted until they left the table, and
included such topics as indoor golf,
woman's suffrage, the new dances,
Bernard Shaw, Campanini, and the
political parties; with q perfectly
appropriate and final comment upon
each.
Rose didn't care. She was having
wonderful time-a new kind of won
derful time. No longer gazing, big
eyed like little Cinderella, at a pag-
cant some fairy godmother's whim had
admitted her to, but consciously gazed
upon; she was the show, tonight, and
she knew it. Her low, finely modu-
lated voice, so rich in humor, so varied
in color, had tonight an edge upon it
that carried it beyond those she was

CHAPTER Viii.
Rodney Smiled,


The next day, Rose took two steps
toward making herself her husbands
intellectual companion.
From a university catalog she pick
ed out the names of half q dozen ele-
mentary textbooks on law, and then
went to a bookstore and bought them.
She had taken her determination
during the endless waking hours of
the night: she was going to study law
study it with all her might
The other step was to go and hear
Rodney's argument in court that day.
rear of the courtroom-up on the
eighth floor of the Federal building
without attracting her husbands at
tention; and for two hours and half
she listened, with mingled feelings, to
his argument. There was no use pre-
tending that she could follow her hus-
bands reasoning. Listening to it had
something the same effect upon her
as watching some enormous, COM
plicated, smooth-running mass Of ma
chinery. She was conscious of the
power of it, though ignorant of what
made it go, and of what it was ac-
complishing.
The three stolid figures behind the
high mahogany bench seemed to be
following it attentively, though they
irritated her bitterly, sometimes, by in
dulging in whispered conversations.
And, presently, he just stopped talk
ing and began stacking up his notes.
The oldest judge mumbled something,
everybody stood up, and the three stiff,
formidable figures filed out by a side
door. 1t was all over.
But nothing had happened!
Rose had expected to leave the
courtroom in the blissful knowledge
of Rodney's victory or the acceptance
of his defeat. In her surprise over the
failure Of this climax to materialiZe,
she almost neglected to make her eS
cape before he discovered her there.
One practical advantage she had
gained out of what was, on the whole,
a rather unsatisfactory afternoon. When
she had gone home and changed into
the sort of frOck she thought he'd like
and come downstairs in answer to his
shouted greeting from the lower hall,
she didn't say, as otherwise she would
have done, How did it come out
Roddy? Did you VIM"
In the light of her newly acquired
knowledge she could see how question
of that sort would irritate him. In
stead of that, she said: You dear old
boy, how dog-tired you must be. How
do you think II went? Do you thia&
you impressed them? l bet you did,
And, not having been rubbed the
wrong way by a foolish question, he
held her off with both hands for Il
moment, then hugged her up and told
her she was Il trump. Il had sort
of uneasy feeling he confessed, that
after last night-the way l threw you

versation over the same hors d'oeuvres
and entrees, from one dinner to the
next the season round. 1t wasn't
until Eleanor had turned the table
the second time, that he made his
first gambit in the game.

sort of thing" he said. Il would like
to know how you keep it up. 1t can't
any of it get anywhere. What's the
attraction?"

SIaves of the Gown,

Some women live in a state Of per-
petual preparation of wardrobe. They
never seem to acquire one in any ap-
proach to completion, and they are
always in the act of either planning
or of obtaining some separate portion
of one in such q way that it would
seem as if they lived to and for no
other end or purpose. The materials
of which their gowns are made must
be of the nature of Penelope's web.-

again. For the first time in her life,
with full self-consciousness, she was
producing effects, thrilling with the
exercise of a power as obedient to
her will as electricity to the manipu-
lator of a switchboard.
She was like a person driving an
airplane, able to move in all three
dimensions. Pretty soon, of course,
she'd have to come back to earth,
where certain monstrously terrifying
questions were waiting for her.

The intense aerial activity prevailing

Gus risks in their insistent search for
information of hostile movements and

In the realm of infantry activity the
British, while continuing to pick up
trenches abandoned by the Germans in
their sustained retrogrsde movement
along the Ancre, have contented them
selves with raiding operations in the

In the Verdnn region the French are
