No kidney ailment is unimportant.
Don't overlook the slightest backache

Kidney disease is seldom fatal II

the way. Don's neglect a lame or
aching back another day. Don't ig-

PEACE FOR A TIME.
CHAPTER CxXX


Following my anniversary my jeal-
ousy was in allegiance. I had felt SO
mortified over my, actions (altho
! flattered myself no one had probed
them) that 1 was meekness itself.
1 rode with Miss Pierce and Junior
occasionally with Mrs. Gray as a COM
panion. I visited Alice Sloane and my
other friends, and they visited me. /
went to the theater or other places OF
amusement with Everett; and I prac-
ticed and studied religiously. Mrs
Barr still came to me twice a week.
My reading with her had begun to
| have. its effect. 1T had insensibly
broadened me. but it had been like the
change in Eyerett-so slowly accom-
plished I had not realized it was hap
pening. Instead of resenting her pres
ence, 1 now felt annoyed if anything
prevented my hours reading with her
Mo French was also improving, and
inal; which delighted me.
Everett was very much interested in
this phase of my life-more SO than
was warranted, I thought, until one
day he said to me:
II am delighted with your awak-
ened interest in your reading and Iau-
sic. I am much older than you. San
dra. There will perhaps come a time
when / will no longer interest you
greatly-aitho 1 shall try; then your
l.
take the place of what I might con-
tinue to do for you were 1 a younger
man, and will so keep you contented.'
1 made no reply. I could think oi
nothing to say. It was the first time
he ever referred to the future as con-
nected with the disparity in our ages
1 wanted to be old. I now know
that he longed inexpressibly to be
young. The irony of it-neither salts
fled, both reaching out for something
to make US happy together. instead OF
| Just BEING happy and trusting each
other and God for our futuret
There was one subject of which we
never tired; Junior. Often wher
Everett was at home for the evening
and we had no guests, we would spend
the entire evening planning his future

as he was born. After that we were

writer less than thirty years ago in re-
ferring to older women in the govern
ment bureaus. The gentle danes de-
scribed by this writer, with their cele-
brated ancestors and air of ariStocratic
aloofness, had small chance of ever
being taken very seriously. But even
then modern business women were
taking their places. for the same jour-
nalist adds that the newer clerks were
young girls whose brisk, businesslike
ways marked them as of the new gen.
Grafton.
About that time other concerns were
trying out women, and soon large
numbers were employed as typists,
clerks and bookkeepers. Since then
the government has been one Jump
behind private employers in its atti-
tude toward women workers
Women are now employer in the
government as bacteriologists. labor
experts, patent examiners, laboratory
experts on plant diseases, and in other
technical and administrative positions.
In these lines they are doing success
full work. Yet they are barred from
similar positions which require no
greater mentality, skill. or training.
Such inconsistencies are pointed out
in the labor departments recent re-
port. Women are permitted to study
human diseases in the government
service, says the report, but the
bureau of animal industry excludes
them from its 1919 examination for
investigating animal parasites and
performing administrative work in
that connection. Women are acting
as assistant weather observers for the
weather bureau and assistant horti-
culturists for the department of agri-
culture, but they are not permitted
to take tests in climatology in its re-
lation to agriculture. They are test
ing foods and drugs to determine their
nutritive and medicinal qualities, but
they are barred from the testing of
dyes.
Until recently it has been claimed
that women were not properly trained
to fill such positions and could not
qualify. A typical situation of this
sort was found in chemical plants just
before the war. The plants would
not admit women chemists on the
ground that they were not trained
properly. At the same time, the col
leges refused to give courses in indus
trial chemistry to women as the field
was not open to them. This dead
lock and others like it were broken
down by the exisencies of war.

Shall ever a star shine out to men
As the Bethlehem Star of bid?
Shall ever the wise men turn again
With their frankincense and gold.
And follow the star to the radiant king
That had come to be stable born?
And oh, shall ever the angels sing
As they did on that happy moruz
Shall ever men treasure another day
For all that 1t means to them?
Shall ever there be in the far away
Another such Bethlehem7
Shall ever the bells ring out at dawn
Such glorious joy for all
As they did when the Savior Of men was
born
The days have come from the womb OF
time,
Dawned, risen to noon and died.
And some have come when the bells woul1
chime
And some when the world was tried;
But never thru ages old and gray,
Since ever the world began.
Have mortals witnessed another day
That has meant so mucfF to man.
Now he that o6ce in a manger lay
Still lives in the hearts OF men.
The world is keeping His Christmas Day
As the wise men kept it then.
For ever the Heavens shall ring with sons,
And ever the bells shall chime,
And this glorious Day that has lived 30

Shall live to the end Of time
