Icebergs do not form at sea, but are
masses detached from the glaciers
which form on the land and project
into the sea, where great blocks break
off and float out to sea. There is hard

masses, and as ice is lighter than wa

other things, Helen Townsend, for in
stance. She didn't like Helen nearly as
well as she once had, and now JACK
was married to Natalie and awfully in
love with her, and even she and Scott
were not quite the same. They had
looked forward to life as something very
different, but wasn't it just the same for
them as it was for other couples!
Weren't they now just married?
Ruth turned into the familiar street
and eyed the apartment house with cold
disapproval. She turned in at the door
and climbed up the stairs, and on the
landing stood Rita and Scott talking.
1t was the first time that either she or
Scott had seen Rita, and Ruth was
glad, it cheered her up.
"Aren't you home early dearY' She
asked Scott after they had all said
hello, and matters seemed to be ad
justed.
"It is early" Scott returned. Ruth
did not think it necessary to ask MN
why he was so early when he maze no
effort to EXPLAIN instead she slipped her
hand inside his arm. She was chiiu :
ishly glad that Rita and she were once
more to be friends. In that moment Oh
relief she cared not at all for the tact
that Rita had made herself unpleasant
that day. Perhaps il she were tactfu'
enough she might influence Rita TOT the
better. After all, every human peine
had some faults, and had to be liked III
spite of them.
1t was after the Whitmores and
the Raymonds were once more very IN
innate, in fact shortly after Ruth nae
come on Scott and Rita talking in tho
hall, that Ruth began to notice things
Having once made up her mind about
Rita. she made more excuses for mel

things Rita did that she, Ruth, did MOI

it became quite obvious that Rita was
employing the same methods witt
Scott that Ruth had employed will
Jack Bond. At first Ruth refused t.
admit this even to herself, but finally sh'
was forced to admit that it was thu
truth. Rita did everything with ap
parent innocence, but nevertheless sh'
would make herself as attractive t.
Scott as possible. And Ruth was forced
/ to admit that Rita certainly y was at
tractive. Womanlike, Ruth did no
reason matters out at all, she did no
try to see things from Scott's viewpoint
She had excused herself any number o
times for permitting friendship witt

REA DER CLAIMS HUSBANDS OUGHT
TO ACT ON SERVANT-GIRL PROBLEM

To the Editor OF the Woman's Page:
Dear Madam-Mrs. M. A. 7. is
right in much that she says. Some
housewives do make excessive demands
on the maid of all work. But even
though the mistress ''does her part
there is often servant problem to
discuss. Who has not seen and known
personally cases of the greatest ingrat-
itude on the part of servants even
after such kindness on the part of the
mistress.
Observe how frequently servants
leave after Christmas, after just having
received generous presents. And
where is the housekeeper who has not
suffered from the thefts of servants?
Money and jewelry should certainly
not be left about to tempt them, but
one cannot lock up all the food and
clothing.
Surely the servant should have
decent room and ample food. But in
most of the best households the same
food is not given out for the servants
table-where four or five are Kept, and
they themselves are satisfied with pork
and cabbage rather than more expen-
sive dishes which they do not really
like.
But any one these days who is being
given food is q fortunate creature.
Teachers who have room and board as
part Of their stipend consider them
selves lucky. So why should not SER
vants?%
During the war, when excessive, alb
-surd and even criminally large wages
have been paid to unframed labor, many
people have lost all sense of balance in
regard to labor problems. Do we
really want to be ruled by labor? ?
And shall we have democracy then?
The professional classes are simply
being driven to the wall. They are
crushed between capital and labor. We
are coming perilously close here in
America to being ruled by labor. And
Is this the thinking, the educated por-
tion of our people?
We shall soon have no ministers or
teachers; no one can afford to take up
these underpaid professions. So I
should like to ask my fellow house
keepers what will happen when they
pay maid $18 week?
IL the American husband, generous
as he is, gives in to this demand, he will
certainly have less to give his wife for
her own use. Men want a home, They
used to whimper about suffrage driving
women out Of the home. And now it
turns out that the casting of a vote
requiring a half an hour, perhaps-is
not going to break up the home, but that
the servant problem is.
4 Men who. are SO anxious to keep the
home intact should give real moral sup
port to their wives and mothers, sis
ters and daughters. They hold. the
purse strings-the men, not the wives

T,HE drive home after Natalie had
= settled the bill was conspicuously
silent. Once or twice Rita started the
conversation by remarking on something
or other, but Natalie and Ruth replied
in monosyllables. Rita's attitude had
made them disinclined for talk.
Natalie trying to speak naturally
mentioned dropping them at the apart
ment and rushing right home as she had
an engagement, and Ruth and Rita
went upstairs in silence. For two days
Ruth saw nothing much of Rita and
Dan. She missed them, but she made
no effort to seek out Rita. After two
days, however, she began to make ex-
cuses for Rita in her own mind and to
wonder if she hadn't judged her too
harshly.
Ruth had not entirely confided to
Scott what had happened that day when
Natalie had taken them out for lunch.
She had said, however, that they had
met crowd Of Rita's friends and that
!, she didn't care. much for them.
"Perhaps that explains why she
doesn't want her old friends around, y
Scott Suggested "she may realize that
they aren't the people she wants to
know
That sounded plausible and went a
long way toward making Ruth eager to
make up. That did >-ot explain, how
ever, Rita's attitude toward Natalie
that day, her cheap makeup and every
thing about her that had been most OBJ
jectionable. Some things could not be
explained and those were the things
that Ruth had not confided to Scott.
One afternoon at about O'Clock
Ruth came home from her mothers blue
and unhappy. Mrs. Rowland had been
prostrated with one of her sick head
aches, and Ruth, who felt it a duty to
20 over and see her mother as often as
she could, had been forced to sit in a
darkened room and to listen while her
mother enjoyed being miserable, for that
was what Mrs. Rowland delighted in
doing. She would make herself as com
Portable as she could and Ruth felt that
her mother must suffer great deal Of
pain. and then she would lie in the
bed with bandage over her eyes and
talk.
Ruth's heart had sunk when Martha
opened the door and signed to her what
was wrong, but Mrs. Rowland had
heard them whispering, and poor Ruth
was dragged into her mothers room.
Mrs. Rowland's topic of conversation
that :, afternoon had been about the
change since the war. Change was what
she deplored, and Ruth with her
thoughts set in that direction began tc
work out on the way home just how
many things had changed since thai
night long ago when Jack had proposed
to her. How happy she had been then
OF course she wouldn't have had things
any different as far as Scott had beer
