A STORY YOU BEGIN TIME Her Side---and His ao~ Cora David rrobsms
 By BECKLEY
Why So Far Afeld?

With singing heart Janet attended to her unfinished business and set her desk in order preparatory to leaving her post as editor Of "Woman.' She was impatient to get home and tell Wan her Iuw plan for work. Home! The very word seemed clothed in new meaning to Janet. Home was no long CT a mere symbol of hurry and worry, neglected duties and chaotic events. It stood now for peace and love, har- nit nv and ,Nork--work that she was fitted for by very virtue of her being a woman; work that would keel her close to Walt and permit of her being his comrade, his professional running mate as well as wife.
 AS she robbed shoulders with the hurrying throng Janet saw vision of Hone as it should some day be to her self and Walt: Not only refuge a"d shelter for their bodies, but place in which their minds and souls should grow and send out overwhelming rays of usefulness and joy.
 She would worl. hard terribly hard. at learning to write, rather than do- ing executive editorship. She would be very grateful to Walt if he showed her "how". She would strive to set down simple, helpful things-things she knew about, or made it her buSi- ress to learn. She would follow Waits work patiently and closely and perhaps find ways to help him. And by and by, when Success had come to both. they would have a house in the country, by the sea somewhere, with a flower garden in front and a kitcnen garden at back, and a log and a cat and a boat and a little motor car. And she and Walt would each have a big study with a fireplace and huge desk and bookcases and fat leather chairs and the pictures she loved and had never had time to hunt Up and !, buy.

 They would De rich-but not too rich to lose touch with life's great ma iorktv. They would have time and money to help loads of less fortunate ones to help themselves. They wou'c have travel! They would have Life in all fneness and fuIlness. And. best Of all they would both be earuins it, and earning it together, with no ones help.
 Janet was so absorbed in her day dream that she almost passed her door. She heard Waits typewriter clatternr madly cs she entered It stopped at sound of her coming. and Walt jumped up to take her in his
 arms
 ''By the way. Jan. dear,' said Walt. releasing hor suddenly w at sort Of dress would a middlc-aged woman. who was very fashionah hle and wanted to look very young. wear to an after n"cn card party" I'm stuck for T de- s'ription and I've got to send this story in tonight.
 Janet bearcd. Did he know how she lonscd to help in his work and even learn to do such work on her own account: Was he trying to please and humor hero No--his eS- pression was honest, bit puzzled and a shade imnatient to be at his work a gain.
 Janet thrilled with plea sure as she went into the minute description of a modern reception gown, spelling out the techncaljties of it's makeup. eS- blaming what messaline and chiffon velvet were and how @ peplum differed from & pannier.
 It was the first time he had asked her anything Of the sorr.1 Now he bade her read over chapter and tell him her impression. Was 1t clear? Did tho girls rredit ament rouse the read CTS sympathy? Was it convincing? Janet's heart leaped with happiness i--s- -~>-~~--r-~ -p~~ %------
