Silversand Lake, the 18th
Joan dearest:
| have your adorable letter and am
Just too gloriously glad for anything
that you're flirting about a bit. l al
ways told you you were wasting the
best years of your life in drudgery.
| recognize that your daddy needs
you, and has no one but you. But
there is u difference etwe n
neglecting him and wearing your
fingers off to the knuckles in house,
work. But you don't tell me who the
, man is! | demand to know instantly.
'Tisn't old Burling, principal of the
high school, is it? Or Sanford. the
| real estate chap? John Burling' s
nice, OF course, dear, but a dread
| full highbrow like that Harvard stu
dent at Lively Beach who used to
talk airy persihage about the fourth
dimension and why Uganda and the
| Congo Free State should belong to
| the league Of nations.
Dick Sanford is a duck, as l re-
call him. But hasn't he sixteen small
brothers and sisters? You'd wear
your heels off up to the hubs Shaving
| for them, l know YOU.
|
dear, since you aren't tired of them.
Yes, l talked again with Mary
| Kymbal. She has been i'll, poor thing,
for several days. Nothing but the re-
suit Of what that cat, Anita Corley,
did to her-though since our fare up
she hasn't shown her claws.
Joan, il sacrifice proves love, Mary
Kymbal has surely proved her feeling
for ERIC Wallis.
| Il couldn't go back to England
ever" she told me in her platntive
/ voice, "I'Ve no relatives except an
uncle in India and he would think me
| better dead than to do what | have
done. l had little property, a house
! in Essex, and l sold 1t when l left
so as not to take a penny of what he
longed to my husband. 1 am fright
ened now at what l have dona. But
there wasn't any other way,-noth-
ing else I could do-was there. Miss
Varick?"
She is terribly disconcertins when
she turns her sad eyes on me and
begs for comfort and support.
! Mono, l suppose not" l an
swored, and sigh of relief escaped
her. After all, life is just ques-
ton of longing. and reaching out
and taking, and realizing that we
have chosen right-not made mis-
lakeland that our method has been
well, decent" l was speaking as
much to myself as to her.
She looked, at me quickly
I'VE are not making mistake
she said, laying her feverish hand on
mine. "Do YOU know, my dear, at first

DOROTHY DK'S TALKS
GENTEEL EMPLOYMENT
BY Dorothy Dix the Worlds Highest Paid Woman Writer

some career that she thinks Is high
falutin'. None OF them want to do
good, plain sewing, or housework. or
any ordinary, necessary, everyday
work.
And the saddest part of 1t Is that
SO many of them, in trying to do gen.
teel work, waste their lives in futile
endeavor when they might have
achieved q splendid success along
humber lines. When one thinks Of
the poverty stricken little near-artist
girls, who never sell picture except
to those who buy them for charity,
but who could have made fortunes
by applying their sense of color and
feeling for lines to do dressmaking;
when one thinks of the patience and
labor that would-be authors put in
on stories and poems that no editor
will accept, and the money these
women could have made II they had
applied the same energy and per-
sistence to running a store or q
boarding house; when one thinks that
the hand that can never learn to
play the piano can juggle sympho-
MES out of a cookstove, one could
shed tears of pity over the terrible
mistake that women make In wor-
Shipping this shrine Of genteel employ
ment.
For all work is noble and honor
able so long as 1t Is well done, and
the only. degrading work Is the badly
accomplished job. Furthermore, it
lies in the hands Of women them
selves to raise the despised occupa-
ton up into the realm of the aristoc-
racy of labor by doing it well.
There was a time, not so long ago,
either, when the writer. the actor.
the singer, the artist were outcasts
from society. looked down upon far
more than any servant or waitress Is
today, and it was only because men
and women put their hearts and
souls into their work that they raised
these despised occupations into fine
arts.
The sooner women forget all about
genteel work and do good work, the
better for them.

Adele Carrison's New
Phase of
Revelations
of a Wife
Why Madse Felt Mr.. stockbrdse Had
Much to Explain.

II was upon my lips to say that
did not doubt the statement OF Milly
Stockbridge's family TO the effect
that her husband had threatened 70
divorce her but an hour before she
was found dead.
But ono look at Alice Holcombe's
face stopped the words upon my lips.
It was full OF the irony which her
voice had held. To her the story was
false, only concocted by the dead
woman's family in an attempt to
throw suspicion upon the man whose
life she had ruined.
But to me 1t was a confirmation of
a theory l had alternately accepted
and rejected since the terrible mo-
ment when Milly Stockbridge's tele-
phone threats TO me were cut short
in such sinister, mysterious fashion.
Kenneth Stockbridge had returned
home only this afternoon. He had not
seen his wife since her discovery of
Alice Holcombe's photograph with Its
tender inscription in the secret
drawer of his private desk. Indeed,
he knew nothing of her opening his
desk or OF her dissertation Of the
secret lie had guarded so long and
with such exquisite honor.

portunity TO tax her husband with her
discovery. l had seen enough OF her to
