DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:
Women in Business

Woman's power in America is
well illustrated by the thousands of
women who entered almost every
line of business to replace men who
were drafted during the war. Health
proved their strongest asset. Many
women, however, developed weak,
nervous conditions and could not
stand the strain of a business life.
Such women should remember
there is one tried and true remedy
in Lydia L. Pinkhams Vegetable
Compound, which for forty-five
years has been restoring health and
strength to the women of America

Always Jeanie!' % said Jim fixing me
coldly with hostile eyes. 1T gals me,
though, that she has to take Pat
Daltcn's money without having to bor-
row any of it to pay over to the Sturges
bunch
"Sturges?" I interrupted. "Sturges?'
Not Carlotta Sturges's family?"
"Carlotta Sturges's father" replied
Jim dryly. Il don't suppose the girl
knows that her father wrecked mine.
but just the same 1 don't want to run
across her in my house again"
"Does-Jeanie know" asked
breathlessly.
This felt must be the cause of
the estrangement between Virginia and
Pat He had taken sides against her
family and with the Sturges crowd and
that was why his friendship with Car
lotta was such an offense to Virginia.
'Jeanie never knew thing about it,"
declared Jim. THE Harrison women
aren't given to mixing in business. She
was engaged to Pat when the crash
came, and he married her and took her
abroad to get her out of the mess.
And I'm not going to drag her into it
now"
We'll, it's only IL now. the check
may come any minute, and the other
check probably won't get through the
clearing house and up to your bank
for days" 1 said hopefully.
But $500, A cruel sum. Where
could we get It? Why had Jim sent
out his check before the sum was in the
bank?
Jim turned on me with scorn.
"A lot you know. The Sturges offices
will telephone TO my bank to see if I've

Help me to find the way. Anne. I've
got to have $500 in the bank before

Copyright 1919, Star Company.
If Arthur Bruce noticed any
change in his financee's manner dur
ing the next few days he made no
mention of it. Relations between
two persons who see each other
constantly cannot long remain at
high tension, and as days passed
matters with the engaged pair
seemed to become normal once
more.
Indeed, other and more important
things than a girls whims were
uppermost in Arthur's mind. The
Bruce Contracting Company had
been hard hit W the war. Each
week added fresh perils to the busi-
ness affairs of father and son.
Building was at a standstill. For
such work as was on hand there
were not enough skilled laborers,
and the prices these few demanded
made the hiring of them almost pro-
hibitive. Fairylands. always an in
dustrial center, was now going in
for the making of munitions. Me-
chanics and trained workmen of all
kinds-who had hitherto looked
with disdian upon the factory

desert their legitimate trades and
enter the mills.
At times it appeared as though
the Bruce Contracting Company
and it's founder must go under in
the storm of changing conditions
sweeping across the land.
Arthur's father looked twenty
years older than before the declara-
ton of war All color had left his
cheeks. and in his ashy face his deep
eyes looked tired. Yet his son could
not prevail upon him to slacken his
unavailing efforts. Too late Arnold
Bruce was trying to adopt modern
methods. The business that he him
self had started years ago meant
more to the founder than even Ar
thur could dream.
A Long Hard Task
Early and late father and son
worked-cutting here, skimping
there-endeavoring desperately to
keep the frail craft afioat and
ahead.
Months slipped by and Arthur him
self grew lean and haggard, but,as
he explained to. Mildred when he was
calling on her one evening. he was
learning the business thoroughly.

Tomorrow" gasped Jim. I'd go
crazy waiting and anyone with half

might tumble and they could welch on

You would? Well, I'll tell you.

debt that's been hanging over the

AN ugly debt" I repeated thought
fully. AN ugly debt. 1t wasn't
gambling debt, was it. JIM"
Jim's face darkened. and his lips
curled back in a sneer as he replied.
Gambling! You'd call a stock deal
or an exchange of parcels of real
estate gambling. Well, this wasn't my
debt 1t was my fathers A hang

Mr.. Hughes is really splendid when 1t
comes to Labor as he knows what he is
talking about and talks about it emphati
cally and readably. If more novelists
handled the subject as well, the publishers
might not fear Labor novels so greatly.
The sister and brother-in-law are i'm

of which is more important than that they
offer Mr.. Hughes an opportunity of exer
cising his delicious humor Jake, the hor-
rife husband who had small use for wives,
mothers or children except as clubs to
pound rich men with, never had less use
for his wife than in the scene on a
sleeper, which is done to perfection. 1t is
too bad that the hero had to have an arm
torn off at the shoulder, but perhaps it
was necessary, that people be made to
realize the real sacrifices made by men
who never got to France. Fortunately it
hindered him very little. He was able to
"huddle Mamise in his arms, to lift and

novel, though cup seems all to small a
vessel to contain the whole of it A magnum
or caldron would be more adequate. Of
less material many men would have made
five or six meaty problem novels, play

Realizing this, and approaching Mr..

to be disagreeable about it. If at times
his book gives the effect of having over
eaten, it is a gorge that we enjoy vica-

1t is good to find a person with so many
enthusiasms-espionage, Washington in

things from his letters to his lady-love;
is one therefore to assume that the author
who pens letter for his fictitious hero

poor an artist that he can have his eharac-
tiers express no emotions but those which
he himself feels at the momentf Great
poems, great works of literature, are the
reflex on great minds of the emotions
of all mankind. The greatest literary ar
fists are not those who have put the most
of themselves on paper. If Mr.. MordelPs
basic hypothesis be true, what an emo
tional chameleon Shakespeare must have

In broad sense, to be sure, the erotic
motive-using the term in its literal rather
than its popular sense-does permeate all
literature, just as it permeates all life.
That fact is so obvious that it requires
no psychoanalysis to determine it. WLat

fed sexual warnings and the evidences
of even more morbid and perverse de-
sires and impulses Of the writers. But
that is precisely the thesis which Albert
Mordell sets out to prove in The Erotic
Notice 10 Literature.
OF course, to detect these things one
must swallow the Freudian theory, lock,
stock and barrel, as Mr.. Mordell appar-
entity has DONE There are psychologists
of at least as good repute as the Austrian
himself who hold that Freud is more
pr1rient than scientific; one gets the same
impression as to this book 1t puts a
strain upon human credulity to believe
that Remains Life Of Jesus had its inspira-
ton in the morbid infantile sex impulses
of the writer. Even more definite is the
evidence Of the sexual influence in Words
worth, according to Mr.. Mordell His
poem To a SkyIdrk, the author believes,
is full Of erotic significance. Just as, in
the Freudian scheme of things, a dream
of flying is capable of but one interprcta-
ton, so every verse in which a poet ex-
presses desire to fly or envy of the bird
is q manifestation of sex impulse.
1t pops up everywhere in literature.
The popular poems Of childhood reek
with sexual symbolism-Longfellow's The
Bridge for example. Every little boy or
girl who has studied the Freudian phil
osophy in the public schools must recog-
nize in these familiar lines the expressions
of physical longing; at least, Mr.. Mordell
recognizes them!
One may even accept Freud's theories
of dream Interpretation without being
able to accept Mr.. Mordelps application
Of them to literature. Passing over the
question of the infallibility Of Freud,
what becomes of art if all the writer puts
on paper is merely an unconscious rev.
