sententiously. THAT is where wom-
an belongs-in the home of her par
entN or guardians until she goes to
the home provided for her by the
man she marries. That is woman's $
destiny"
A Difficult Question
Cynthia would not argue, but in
her soul she was wondering il any
thing could be more degrading to a
woman than marrying a man for a
home. Suppose she never fell in love
what then? Was she to be a de-
pendant all the days of her life?
She did not put this question into
words. 1t would do no good. Her
only course was to live by the day,
do her duty as we'll as she could as
Ion. as her money held out. Then
She shook her head and closed her
lips firmly. She would not look
ahead. She was sure that she could
not carry out her uncles idea of
woman's destiny. She was forcing
herself now to go into society a lit
tie more, as this was her relatives
man whom she could bear to thinl,
of as a possible husband. None of
them stirred her pulses.
1t was all very well for a girl like
Dora to be planning marriage, for
she was engaged to a man whom
she had known for years, a man who
was unlike other men-strong, sym
pathetic. all that he should be. What
friend he would make if one could
let ones self accept the friendship
he was always ready TO offer her
If one dared
She checked her musings abruptly
she mad trained herself to do this
during these past few weeks when
her thoughts turned toward Milton
van Saun. She told herself this was
because she did not care to have as
close friend another woman's hus-
band. And Milton would soon be
Dora's husband.
Was that the true reason?
The question thrust itself upon her

CHAPTER XXI

Copyright, 1918. Star Company
During the next few days Cynthia
Long was undergoing a period of re-
adjustment of which her relatives
suspected little. Heretofore she had
gloried in her independence. Now
she realized that she had gloried in
that which did not exist; that. but
for the small sums of money which
would come to her in the next year
or two-sums quite disproportionate
to her needs as she saw them-she
had nothing which she could call her
own. Moreover. her uncle had paid
some of her fathers debts. Stephen
Livingstone might insist that this
had been but gift to the daughter.
The daughter herself felt that she
would be under continual obligations
to him.
And the only way she could dis
Charge these obligations would be by
complying with his demands. These
demands precluded her attempting to
earn her own living.
She was glad that she could reply
II dHhlN Wnen neT uncle asked ner,
with elaborate carelessness, what ar
rangements she and Edward Van
Saun had made about her reading.
"Of course, he suggested no re-
muneration?" he interrogated.
"Of course not" Cynthia replied
quickly. 81 would have been much
wounded if he had done So"
1T would have been an insult to
you, my dear, and to me as WELL
her uncle declared Edward Van
Saun knows my views with regard to
young women earning money for
themselves when they have relatives
who are able and willing to support
them. That girls assert their own
rights in this line so frequently is, to
my mind. an evidence of the degen-
eracy of the times. 1 deplore it
greatly. 1 do not see how a girl

"By her sphere you mean," began
Cynthia.

|Life'sProblems
| Are Discussed

Life, like the form of government
outlined by our National Constitu-
ton, is largely a system of checks
and balances.
We've got to give and take"
run the lines in current stage
comedy; and the significant answer
is, You take and never give" That's
where all the trouble arises.
Every relation into which we en-
ter-business, personal or social
is in effect a contract; but eX-
cept in purely commercial trans
actions, the terms and covenants
are usually so loosely stated that
one may construe them about as
he pleases, and as a consequence
one or the other of the parties to
the agreement, generally both, feel
defrauded. The Observation-Disclosures
and resentments due to this one
fact are the source of almost all
our so-called problems"
Any lawyer will tell you that it
is the very essence of a contract
to leave no point open to question;
yet men who will hold out for the
last dotting of an 'f' and crossing
of a 't' in a financial instrument
constantly obligate themselves in far
weightier matters on an utterly hap
hazard basis, or none at all.
Marriage, for instance, is prob
ably n more important step to most
of us than granting a power of at
torney or executing a real estate
transfer; but look at the difference
of method in the two undertakings.
In the one case, every contingency
is safeguarded, the language is as
clear and explicit as it can be made,
there is settled penalty fixed for
any false representation or breach
of the agreement.
In the other case we have an eX-
change of vows" beautiful and So
norous we will admit, but about as
ambiguous and indefinite in phrase
ology as could we'll be framed. The

ring and generally slipping it on the

worldly goods l thee endow." Yet
even as he says it he knows that he
is making pledge which he has not
the slightest intention of keeping.
What he really means is that he
will provide more or less for his
wife during his lifetime, and that

And as for the binding covenant,

But If the marriage agreement is

said about parenthood? Indeed,

thoroughly covered the subject, but
a day or two later I received a let
ter which presented the question
from a new angle and caused me
somewhat to revise my opinions.
Here it is:
Dear Mrs. Woodrow - I have
read your article in to-night's paper
and wish to say a few words.
You suggest that the mother
praise her daughter to rid her of
her impertinence. 1 think if this
girls parents and brothers would
leave her alone until she is rested
and has eaten n good supper they
would find her as gentle and affec-
tionate to them as she is to her
friends.
Il am seventeen years old and 4
bookkeeper working for my father.
Not only do / work in the office,
but in our shop, too, and 1 work as
hard as our hired help. When 1
get home from a hard days work
my mother insists on asking me
dozens of questions about the busi-
ness-what orders have come in,
who telephoned, did Mr.. So-and-So
call to-day, etc.-and besides, she
used to call up about five times n
day to ask those same questions on
the phone.
Now, I have a temper. and when
all these questions are thrust at me
just as soon as I enter the house,
I let it out on the family. Then they
wonder why 1 am so irritable and
unpleasant.
"Do you imagine, Mrs. Woodrow,
that if my mother started in prais-
ing me when 1 got home from work
that would make me pleasant? No.
The only thing 1 want is to be left
alone until 1 have rested and eaten
my supper. Then she could ask me
hundreds of questions, and 1 would
be only too glad to answer them. She
has stopped telephoning to the Of
flee. because l have made her un-
derstand it interrupts me and inter-
feres with my work"
1 sympathize with that girl and
appreciate the justice of her con-
tention. Every human being is en-

tract at all, and will be startled to
hear it called one. Yet that is just
what it is-a tripartite undertaking
between the parent, the child and
the state.
The parent agrees to give the
child maintenance, care, education
and support within certain years,
and in return the child is obligated
to submit to the direction and con-
troll of the parent If either fails
or refuses to abide by these terms,
the state will step in and enforce
compliance.
So far, so good. But there is
something beyond the mere material
wants of the child which the parent
should give, and that is a respect
for his individuality; and there is
something the child should give be-
yond mere obedience. Here is where
the Vagueness and uncertainty of
the arrangements creeps in. One
side or the other is almost sure to
take and never give" and a fair
exchange is the spirit of every con-
tract.
1 discussed in a recent article an
instance of the sort. A mother had
written me asking for advice in re-
gard to a daughter who was habitu-
ally ad-tempered and impertinent
toward tTe IlleIlpeIS VI hGI OWi
family, although fair-spoken enough
and charming in her manners to
outsiders. In other words, she
took" all the comforts and protec-
ton of the home, and gave" worse
than nothing in return.
AS is my custom when a ques-
ton is submitted to me by one of
my correspondents, 1 tried as well
as I could with the data at hand to
place myself mentally in the posi-
ton of that mother and also of the
girl; and when 1 wrote my article
it was the one about the "Dia-
monds and Toads of Speech"-I en-
deavored to show the younger wo-
man the mistake she was making in
giving away to her petulance and
to suggest to the elder one course
of judicious praise as corrective
for her daughters waspish ways.
It seems to me that 1 had pretty

titled to a certain amount of quiet
and freedom from interference, sea-
sons in which to rest and refresh
ones soul. The truest friendships
are those which recognize this right
and which permit of intimate ST.
lences." There are times with all
of us when the babble of voices and
a buzz of questions is torture. But
the family circle in general has lit
tie respect for this prerogative.
When Napoleon was planning to
invade England in 1904 he pre-
pared a great flotilla of flat-bot
toned boats to TRANSPORT his army.
Paris, bound to have its jest, called
these peniches or walnut shells, and
Brunei, the comedian, raised n
laugh one night by eating walnuts
on the stage and tossing the shells
into a pail of water. Il am making
peniches," he said. For this the po-
lice punished him, but the next night
he again tossed walnut shells into
pail of water. What are you do
ing?" asked a companion. "I know
very we'll what am doing" answer
ed Brunei; but I also know when
not to talk"
Half the trouble of this world
would be avoided If people only
know when mot to talk" If 1 were
called upon to formulate the terms
of the contract which from their very
association exists among the differ
ent members of every family, one of
the first provisions I would write in
to it would be a paraphrase of a
speech Mrs. Fiske makes in one of
her comedy parts:
every human being has the right
to at least one hour of uninterrupt-
ed silence every day, and no ques-
tions asked"

mind as clearly as il some one had
asked it of her in clear tones.
1t was n snowy afternoon and she
was walking briskly toward Edward
Van Saun's house, for this was one
of the days on which she was to
read aloud to the semi-invalid. He had
telephoned to her that she must not
risk facing the storm, but she had
insisted on going, pleading that she
needed the exercise. Dora was shop
ping with the car downtown and had
offered to send it back to take her
cousin to Mr.. Van Sam's, but Gym
thia had said that she preferred
walking.
A Kindly Greeting
The wind was strong and blew in
her face as she turned eastward
from Fifth avenue. She bent her
head and fought her way against it.
1t was an actual relief to struggle
with something as tangible as this
wind, instead of with the thoughts
that assailed her.
Mr.. Van Saun's house was but a
few doors from the avenue, and
when she had rung the bell and been
admitted her host came from the
library into the hall to greet her.
Dear child" he sympathized. 81
am sure you are very wet and cold
Take off that coat and those rub
bcrs and come in by my fire and get
warm. This is no weather for a
girl like you to be out. I blame
myself for not forbidding you to
come. But you see what a selfish
cid man 1 am. 1 would have sent
my car for you, but it is laid up al
the repair shop"
His tone, his manner, reminded hel
of her own father. Impulsively shv
turned to him and caught his hanc
in hers for an instant.
"Oh, am so glad to comet" she
exclaimed. "It seems almost like
going home to come here"
She stopped, shocked by her own
temerity. When she and her host
reached the library fire he spoke
gently.
II am glad you feel as il this
were like home" he said, for
stl ange, isn't it'll was thinking be-
fore you came that I felt almost as
If little girl of my own was coming
to me out of the storm"
Then he laughed as if ashamed of
his sentimentalty. Cynthia laughed

too; but 1t is doubtful If either pafH

The First Romanoff.

Romanotf is the name of the Rus
sian imperial dynasty regnant In the
male line from 1913 to 1870, and
thenceforward in the female line. Con-
slant intermarriages with German
princely houses, however, have made
the Romanoff strain of today more
German than Russian. Nay the old
est ancestor of the house of Roman
off. Andrew Kobyla, is said TO have
come to Moscow from Prussia C1341).
The name RomanOff was given to the
family by the boyar Roman Yurle-
witch, the fifth of direct descent from
Andrew, who succeeded in getting n
female member of his family on the
throne of the ears by marrying his
daughter to Ivan the Terrible. In
FEBRUARY, 1913, Mikhael re%Odorvitch
Romanoff. a boy of seventeen, was pro-
claimed ear, grand duke and autocrat
of all the Russias I'm the Red square
of Moscow. With this accession TO
the throne of the famous. or rather ILL
samed, dynasty began a 304 years
misrule that-let us hope-has ended
forever with the forced abdication of
Gar Nicholas. in March. 1917.

Fool Growing Plants.

Scientists have found the way to
make the sun shine, as ii were, upon
agriculture. They charge the soil with
electricity and the crops, fooled into
believing that the sun is shining, COM
mence to grow at a rapid pace. There
is no deception about the results OF
this experiment, which are hailed as
an achievement of vast importance in
these days of war when the production
and conservation of food are so tre-
mendously vital.
In experiments that have been con-
Quoted under the auspices of the Eng
fish government young strawberry
plants are said TO have increased in
yield by so per cent, and even old
plants are reported to have given 80
per m more fruit. Potatoes a a
lily be persuaded, scientists claim, into
the belief that a charge OF electricity
is genuine sunshine, as a result OF
which they forthwith grow prodig-
ously.
