HER SlDE---AND HIS
JANET
By ZOE BECKLEY

Cora Temple realized for the first time what a typical matchmaking woman she was Her many absorbing discussions puzzled her before. For instance, she had used to regard business women as different from domestic women. Now she saw all women were at heart the same. All women desired love. All women longed for homes. All women had the maternal instinct.
 To be sure, circumstances made some women set love aside for more worldly interests and responsibilities. But it was nently aside. True, certain women had not time or opportunity to make homes for themselves. But Cora had only to look about her to see how keen was the business womans longing for a home.
 And if some women's instinct toward motherhood was not realized in children of their own, it cropped out in their ma ternal attitude toward brothers and sis ters or other peoples children, or toward some cause or other, or even toward help less animals
 All this made her keenly interested in seeing Janet Thayer and Walter Sted- man married. It would be big step to- ward the ideal life, even though some joys would have to be postponed while Janet kept on in her business career.
 I've women, you know, are the prac+ tical creatures of this world,' Cora main- taned one evening when she, Janet and Walter were having an intimate and friendly chat on the subject nearest all
