that childish love had grown into an
apparently selfish love that demanded
Margaret to carry on as she had be-

Margaret had sought New York in
quest of happiness. of freedom, of all
the things she had missed. She had
found love, the opportunity to express
herself for the first time in her life
but was it all to turn to ashes in her
mouth because of Joan's attitude?
Occasionally there drifted across
her mind the wish that she had re-
manned in the country, that she never
had started out to find herself, to find
life as she never had lived it. But
this thought did not possess her for
long. 1t was thru coming to New
York she had found she loved Craig
Forester; that his liking for her had
turned to something stronger.

THE NEW
GENERATION
BIZ JANE PHELPS
JOAN'S ENVIRONMENT ADDS TO
MARGARET;S ANXIETY.
By JANE PHELPS
Chapter 1O6.


A passionate longing to be Craig
Forrester's wife had sprung up in
Margaret Hayden's heart. And it was
not strange that this was so when one
considered her life as she had lived it
up to this time. Her lonely, shut-in
girlhood. her early marriage to a man
whom she did not love and who was
old enough to be her father, her
mothers death followed by his. her
widowhood, her long years of devotion
to Joan when she had shut herself
away from society-all conspired to
make the longing for this love she had
found and given so late, imperative.
A cloudy feeling of apprehension
possessed her at times and fell like a
dark shadow across her most buoyant
mood So when Craig left her after
their discussion of Joan's latest in
black depression in spite of his efforts
to reassure her
ct never will be able to marry him,
neveri" she sobbed.
At times it crossed Margaret's mind,
and often fingered there, that she had
as much right to live her life as had
Joan to live, hers. But always she
strangled the impulse. Joan was her
first care, and If necessary she would
even give Craig Forester up for her
sake.
Margaret's love for Joan was not
only the mother-Ioye women almost
feel for their children
that love that denies and watches
over, going without rest and comforts
that the child may be happy-but it
was also the love of the woman VINO
never had known other loves. and
who had because of her peculiar in
diligence made herself responsible for
her daughters future She felt.thst

SPLIT ON HIDES
CattIemen Claim No Tariff Fac
tor in Their Ruin.
Leather Men Say Duty Will
Cost Public Dearly.

washington, Dec. ga split over
free hides" thtat was brewing today
between members of the senate fl
nance committee was the result Of the
demands of cattlemen that hides be
taken off the free list.
The prospect that hides viii be re-
quired to pay a duty when the pernna-
nent tariff act is finally written and
passed. in spite of the fact that only
once before have hides ever been off
the free list in the tariff laws of the
country doomed today. Tanners and
leather men have mustered all their
forces to keep hides free
CattIcman In Protest.
CattIemen from all over the coun-
try have informed the committee that
their business has been practically
ruined and that the free admission OF
hides has been one of the potent fac
tors in accomplishing this
1t is understood certain members OF
the committee. led by Senator Curtis.
Republican. whip of Kansas, are de-
termined to fight for the cattlemen
demands.
Leather goods manufacturers and
tanners deny that the eattlemen would
be benefited by a duty on hides. The
tanners who buy the livestock would
be the principal beneficiaries, they
declare.
"A duty on hides will cost the
American public upward of 100000
900 a year" spokesman for the tam
ners told the committee.
Want Duty ON Shoes.
The kid leather tanners trade has
joined the heavy tanners in the de-
nand that hides be kept on the free
list. They have laid before the com
mittee the charges that a subtle ef-
fort is being made to divert the kid
leather business from American to
British firms by rebate Of two-thirds
on a Is per cent duty. This rebats
is given to British buyers of hides in
India"
The National Boot & Shoe Manufac-
turers' association has also called for
free hides, experimenting its demands
with a plea that shoes be taken off
the free list and taxed at Is. per cent.
