Janet and Jarvis, With the World Be-
fore Them, Start on Their
Wedding Trip
Jarvis was not practical at all. In
TACT he was in way far less practi-
cal than Janet. He cared not at all
for the little things, yet while he pos
sessed all the ideals and illusions of
the dreamer, he had seen life and
knew 1t by heart. Janet was in love
with life, and she was curious, but
she had by Leart that divine knowl-
edge woman always possess. the in
stinct for building a home.
Not at all the home that people
generally live in," she said when talk
ing about her ideals to Jarvis. before
they were married" not all hemmed
in with domestic affairs and trifes,
but big true ideal that we can build
| about, and l want to be as free as
air."
Janet had treasured in her heart
for long time her ideal of independ-
ence and she had tested it out before
marriage with story that had
brought her a check for fifty dollars.
In her secret soul she knew that until
she herself was married her mother
would never consent to her assertion
OF independence, but Jarvis under
stood. Janet wanted to be more than
wife, she wanted to be a kindred

Lets just slip off somewhere,
where people can't find us, and house
hunt in our spare moments" Janet
had suggested to Jarvis. Honey
moons are too apt to be filled with
honeymoods, and unless we are going
to begin just as we intend to go on,
what's the use?'
And so she had left it to Jarvis, and
when Mrs. Carew asked where they
were going Janet laughed and said
she didn't know. She trusted Jarvis
because she knew him. Hadn't Jar
Wis worked his way up in a city where
! competition was stiff?
Hadn't Jarvis lived in a dingy hall
bedroom with not enough to eat half
the time before people began to notice
his work? Jarvis was a man tried
in the school of experience, Janet
even imagined that he must have
known women rather we'll, before he
had met and loved her, all artists
know women; they couldn't help
themselves.
| Il feel like an enchanted fairy
princess" Janet said in her slow de-
licious manner, as the taxi drew up
outside of the station and Jarvis
helped her out. Where are we going,
Jarvis? You can tell me now?"
Down to a little sleepy town in
/ Long Island. l thought it would be
great not to plan things at all. Mrs.
More"
20, and Jarvis" she continued. I'm
going to have my cards engraved just
Janet Carew More. no Mrs. at all; do
YOU know why? Because / am going
! to be. business woman. i am going
to work.
She sat back in the car seat and
met Jarvis quizzical eyes, her own
merry.
II want to make money; I want to
have a big interest apart from you:
the Honeymoon House. wherever ii
is. and so I've decided not to be a
bit traditional"
Janet regarded him tenderly
What would you rather have me
be, Jarvis, if you had your choice?'
Independent, of course" Jarvis
returned promptly And think
l want you to always do what you
want to do first, not what I want you
to do. But l hope that first of all
you will be my mate" Jarvis eyes
darkened a little as he spoke and
when Janet answered her voice was
little breatEless.
That's just why | married you,'
she said softly, Ito be your mate.
could have done everything else if
had stayed Janet Carew."
But things don't mean much to
me if you don't give them willingly,
Jarvis went on, 80 1 want you to be
| free,
And I won't be treated like a wo-
man." Janet went on. 81 want you
to treat me as you would another
man, about business matters and
things of that kind. Because 1 warn
you, Jarvis, l am going to make
money"
"Oh. we are here?" Janet queried
eagerly peering out of the dark
window. All she could see was q
lot of waving trees and as she stepped
off the train a few raindrops blew
into her face. And Janet was very
much a woman as they drew off in the
dark old station hack. her head or
Jarvis shoulder and her eyes closed
They were together and Jarvis under
stood.
