T feel sorry for Mable Mathews" said Imogene "She was over here this afternoon and, Andrew, she is still wearing her summer hati"
 Well, for the 6ve of Mike" ex- claimed Andrew, why shouldn't she be? It's sumer, isn't it? I know it's past Labor Day, but that is part of summer. isn't it? Why should woman be wearing a winter hat or fall hat either when the weather is as hot as it is now?"
 But you don't understand, dear, said Imogene. These days woman must be like a magazine cover. You know they print the Christmas maga- zines in August and the New Years covers are on the newsstands the latter part of September. So must woman buy her spring outfit in the winter and her furs must go on just as soon as August is here, so the public wiH know her husband is forehanded man. But poor Babel married an ambitious young man who is using all his money fitting himself for better station in life and I sometimes wish that you were ambi- tious, Andrew
 50 you could wear summer hats in the summertime?" he inquired. No ambition for mine, honey! I have seen fellows who had it, Ambition is what makes a man spend hours and hours saving on fiddle when he ought to be hunt ting a job which would pay him enough to buy pork chops for his wife and children.
 q have seen ambition make a woman put in a whole day painting tea cup .ts T. 1t.sI -hes<J ny yad unfed in the streets and her husband took his meals off the free-lunch coun-
 ter! Ambition is sort of burr which keeps a man from sitting down when his work is all done, and keeps him hunting for som ething else to do. Ambition, of course, makes million aires, but it also makes men learn the lockstep, wear stripes and get short haircut
 The trouble about ambition, honey, is that it jerks man from the cradle to the grave without giving him a chance to get acquainted with his wife and children, learning what friendship means, learning how to mistreat chese | in a chafing dish or learning to spit properly on his bait at the fishin' hole | Ambitions sometimes turns presi- dents into poor college professors and l it's a poor rule that won't work both ways.
 | T have seen ambition make a college boy drink 35 steins of imported beer | in 35 minutes and then have seen g. cops take him to the station house where it cost his father $35 to get hin
 out
 l q have seen ambition make a mar wearing a thirteen and one-half collal who had a concave chest and only weighed 135 pounds gross hit fellow 1 weighing 225.

 For a long moment Jane stared at the card Mrs. Carew was holding in her hand. Q Her surprise at finding one Of those mysterious bits of pasteboard in this stagnant backwater of life was un- bound, and it was with difficulty that she framed the question that started to her lips.
 Are you-how is it that you have one of these2" she gasped.
 Because I am of the society,", Mrs. Carew answered quietly Now, tell me why you called the number?" "Oh," Jane exclaimed. "ls it society? And are those who have cards members of it?''
 Didn't you know?" Mrs. Carew asked by way of answer. "Who gave your

 "A Mir Marshall" Jane returned. He is the bookkeeper in the office where ! work But please tell me more about it? He simply gace me the card and told me to call the number if l was ever in tpouble.''
 "A few years ago a very wealthy man 1 formed this society-it has never been given name-where people could go and get help.

 I have been the manager of this house l | have seen into what trouble girls can | be led, or driven, I should say, and Tn
 many cases the society has saved them.
 But we are losing time. What was IL
 you wanted to speak to them about? 1 These grips" Jane answered. Iney do not belong to me. 4 day or so ago 1 I checked my own hand baggage at

And in another one, he said see, here it is-T haven't let Mortimer know of this, I haven't seen him since we had a row this morning.

 "I will take charge of this thing, Mrs. Carew answered You are in no condition to worry yourself over it. 1 can see that you are tired out, and you must get to bed at once Let me have the letters I know the society better than you do. I will find out somethlng before the night is over" "Oh. I wish you would,' Jane ex- claimed with a sigh of relief. II am tired. But what shall l do about these bags?"
