 Saere3 Book of Mormon. and she q sealed wife of Brigham himself.
 What are you planning 10 do with all 1his:" she said at length.
 T don't know said Daphne. "What would you Sugsest?"
 You were planning to go into busi= ness. Why not use this as capital:'
 Fine What business ought l to banllingf or battleship build ing or what?"
 There's embroidery" said Mrs. Chiyvis.
 Daphne had to gufraw that. Mrs. Chivvls did not laugh. T mean it.. she urged; think it over.'
 All right. I'll think it over"
 The novelty of being rich lost itS sayor with Leila. and the monotony of being neglected began to prey upon her danask soul. She and Daphne forgot their mutual grievances for their common grievance.
 That's the trouble with these hus- bands. Leila srumbIed When they're in bad luck you cant lose 'em and when they're ill good you can't find 'ein.a
 Its the same with fances" said Daphne.
 Daphne had the worst of it. for Leila began to wander again, leaving Daphne to the society of Mrs. Chiv1is. who kept urging her to invest her dWindline thousand before it WAS gone. But in the environs of noisy riches the schemes of Mrs Chivxis de handed such prolonged labor for such minute profit that Daphne remained cold.
 She began to resent Clay'S neglect moroselN. The few attentions he paid her only insulted her; his mind was so far away and his heart was all for his business. He was daZZled by the fierce white light of success, and he spoke to Daphne i'll Il kind of drowsy hypno- sis. And he spoke necessarily of the details of his business. or his gam hlings He could not see how deaf she was to the very vulgar fractions of his speculations. or the mad arith- mefic of his commissions. She yawned in his face when he grew eloquent on the dynamics of wealth. the higher philosophies Of finance. And he never knew. He kissed her good-bY as if he Were kissing Il government bond, safe and quiet and all his own.
 After one of ClaYs visits Mrs. Chiv- Wis found Daphne in brown study. Mrs. GhiNVis explained her own af. fairs; and Daphne UaS so exhauste eG with the sultry problems of love that Mrs. GhivviS' business gossip was com pletely refreshing
 Eve been down to the Woman'S= cX- change" she said. trying To sell some of my needlework They were very nice about it. but il means terrible amount of labor for pittance of money. You have to pay them so much year for the privilege of put ting your things on sale there. Then they don't guarantee to return it in good condition. and they don't guaran- tee to sell it or if they do they charge you 20 per cent for their end of it.
 T couldn't see any profit in that, so I went to one of the iobhers. He said my style of work brought good prices in the big stores But they won't pay him much and he'll pay me less.
 ''I was thinking There's money in these things and in all sorts of needle things if you have little capi- ta1."
 That's different" said Daphne. And I've got some capital now. Do you remember suggesting to me once that We might go into business to Sether-you to furnish the brains and ] the money?"
 .Oh, l didn't pvt it that way"
 Anyway, it's true. Well, would you?n
 Lands sake if you're mind to furnish the money and the ideas and let me count the pennies. I'd like noth- ing better"
 Great, What could we % into?"
 What would you prefer?"
 'Oh. any old business that will keep me busy and make d lot of money"
 My husband says that you cant make Il lot of money without putting in lot. That's one reason he has been kept down so. He never could get ahead That was what we were saving up for-to get q little capital, And then the war came along-and we had to spend our savings. That same war has made your brother so rich that he could give you a small fortune. don't believe you could do better than 10 put that into Il business
 "Neither dc :" Daphne cried. s.I a.'c
