Mrs. Chivvis was touched. "You
poor child! 1t really is--just too bad ~
She pondered, then she frightened:
"Tm sorry you're disappointed, but I'm
glad you're not to be in the theater.
It must be very wicked"
"1t's mighty difficult" said Daphne.
Mrs. Chivvis thought a moment
more, then she said:

lieve I did--you were away-but Mr..
Chiyyis gets his vacation next week.
He's got to take it when his turn
comes. The man who was going now
couldn't be spared, so we have to leave
Tuesday. I'm going, of course, so
can't give you your meals. You can
get your breakfasts in the kitchenette.
OF course I'll allow off whatever is
right"
"Oh." Daphne said. "Tll be all right,

Daphne had not realized how much
she depended on Mrs. Chivvis till now.
She was to be left alone at the very
time when she was most in need of
society. The whole world was forsak-
ing her.

work. Even had she been skilled, as.
she was not, it would have awaited her
little, since skilled 1aborers were be-

unskilled laborers were being turned

Clay had saved nothing against the
rainy season. He had found his salary
too small for his courtship requisites;
now that his salary was halved his
courtship had to be reduced to the
minimum of expense.
Bayard and Leila had more money
to spend, and they made ambitious
voyages. But Daphne and Clay must
swelter with the other stay-at-home
millions. Clay denied himself even the
two weeks vacation allotted to him.
Bayard took his, however, and carried

disease of some sort is sure to come. Dys-
pepsia is a common symptom, and so are
liver complaint loss of flesh, nervousness,
bad memory, dizziness, sleeplessness, no
appetite. Many times, when neglected. in
digestion results in coughs, throat diseases,
catarrh bronchitis and even more danger

because the food is not properly digestej

child that relief and cure are to be had
only by setting up healthy condition in

on his card his telephone address and
gave it to her as the doorman ap-
peared.
He murmured, "Don't forget" She
murmpred, 81 won't" Both said
"Good night" Then the doorman gath
cred her in and hoisted her to her
lowly eyrie. It was very different
from where she would have gone as
Mrs. Duane.
But when she was in her room she
tore his card to pieces-after she had
looked at it. She stared at her image
in the mirror. She hated what she saw
there.
She vowed to break herr promise to

CHAPTER XIV.

1uCu Lie OulVYlS6S came Dack IrOIu
their vacation Unexpectedly early. They
had found the hotels expensive and
Mr.. Chivvis was afraid that his job
would be snatched from him if he
were not there to hold it down.
Clay called on Daphne that evening
and the Chivvises retreated to their
own room. But as they could be over.
heard it was evident that they could
overhear, and the lovers found no
chance to say any of the things that
frightened their souls.
'One evening Daphne said to Clay in
as low voice as he could hear: 'sMrs.
Chivvis is growing uneasy, honey,
about our being together every eve-
ming. told her we were engaged, but
she didn't seem convinced. Perhaps
you would let me wear that beautiful
engagement ring again. I was fool
to give it back to you. May I have it
Or"
Clay blenched in misery. T-Tm
afraid T. You see, / hadn't paid
much on it; and last week had an in
sulting letter from the jeweler. He
threatened to sue me and notify my
firm, and well, l had to send it
back"
He was so downcast that she an
swered with mock cheer: "Oh, that's
all right, honey; it doesn't matter.
After all, it's only a ring. And we
have each other"
"But we haven't each other. This
way Of living is driving me crazy. I'll
be all right as soon as these hard
times are over and I can make some
commissions. But it's so dismal to
wait. Couldn't we get married and
live on my salary?"
II could If you could"
He caught her in his arms so vio-
lently that she squealed.
+ The next day Clay telephoned to her
his firm had just offered him the
choice of accepting half his salary or
turning in his resignation. 1t was
really impossible for two to live on
half Of what was hardly enough for
one.

Daphne cried a long while in her
room. She got out her list of ways to
earn fifty thousand dollars again and
cried over that.
There is much foolish and futile pro-
test against the nowadays woman who
goes into business outside her home.
But the fact is that it is her business
that began it. Her business left the
home first and she is merely following
it to the places where new conditions
and inventions have centralized and
mechanical it.
New conditions have taken her
distaff and her washtub and her cook
cry and gossip into the wooden mills
and steam laundries and restaurants
and telephone exchanges. She has had
to go thither to do her necessary work.
Even the entertainers, the singers,
dancers, tellers of stories, who used
to stir the seraglios and the castle
halls have been gathered into opera
houses and theaters and into vaude-
Vile and moving picture palaces.

Worn Out.
Leila off to Newport, where they
boarded humbly, if extensively.
While they were gone, at their sug-
gestion, Daphne moved down into
their apartment. 1t was large and
beautiful, and, as Clay said, it was
mot infested with Chivvises."
Now and then Clay quarreled with
Daphne because of her obstinate de-
termination to have trade of her
own. Then they made up. And quar-
relied anew--lovers' quarrels, summer
storms that break the sultry tension
of the air and make peace endurable.
Bayard came back alone. Leila
had decided that it was better for
her health to stay at Newport till
the cooler weather came and her
summer wardrobe had been worn out.
So Bayard joined the army of
town-tied husbands, the summer wild
overs. He went back once a week
on furlough to spend Newport Sab
bath with his wife. He became one

ing excursionists. There was leisure
enough in his office.
He insisted on Daphne's keeping
her room in his apartment, and of
evenings he affixed himself to her
and Clay and made their company a
crowd. But they welcomed him as
chaperon of a sort. Also, he paid his
way with liberality, except for occa-
sional spasms of retrenchment, when
he economical atrociously. He pre-
dicted that good times would never
come again. The whole world had
gone to pot and would never come
out.
Suddenly he changed his tune; sud-
denly the whisper went about that
hard times were ending.
In his bachelor days, when Bayard
was growing in commercial stature
like young giant, he had regarded
his business with all the warmth of
poet. His Office building was his
Acropoiis and his office the peculiar
temple of his muse; and her name
was Profit. He thrilled like poet

and her optimism. They dined cheer
