The Might YisitOr

was something mysterious about this

she began to go down.
The boarding house parlor opened out
of the hall on the first floor. There
was light at one end. but it was
turned very low, and Harriet could
hardly see rs she entered the room.
Then girl started up from one OF the
chairs and confronted her suddenly.
With cry of amazement Harriet
started back. 1t was Lucy Pratt

THROUGH A WOMANS EYES
Loring Things
BY JEAN NEWTON

U0H, cant go to see Granny today.
OThere are some new pictures at
the gallery that are real treat. III
phone her my congratulations-she'l II
be just as pleased.
Strange how May could spend an hour
enraptured before an artists portrayal
of a strange soul and yet not find in
terest and pleasure in watching the
happy and contented smile that trans
figured the face Of her old granny when
she could sit and talk with her favoritc
grandchild.
May was interested in music, in pic
lures, in literature, in everything that
went on. She loved all these things
and people envied her for her full life.
But she loved them so much that she
just couldn't find any pleasure in spend
ing an afternoon with her granny. even
though it was granny's birthday. be-
cause there was Il new exhibition at one
Of the galleries. However, May was
dutiful-she telephoned granny and sent
her lovely gift.
Mays maiden Aunt Sarah. who had
lived with them during Mays child
hood and had We'd with Mays mother
In doing things for her own special niece
had come to town for a ten day visit
All the aunts and nieces were getting
together every day, staying right close
to Aunt Sarah. who had such n short
time with them and might not come
again for years.
And May? 1t was Music Week and
80 many special things were going on
that she just couldn't get much time
for Aunt Sarah. OF course. May did
her duty. She called on her aunt
once--on her way downtown-and then
gave luncheon for her. But she did
not get time for real chat with her.
Evening public ledger. [volume] (Philadelphia [Pa.]) 1914-1942, 1921-05-19

Things always happened that way
every thing at once-and one had to miss
something.
But perhaps Music Week was provi :
Dental. May was fond of her Aunt
Sarah. and 1t would have been terribly
dull to spend all those afternoons listen
ing to her story of Cousin Johns wife
and baby. OF course. one would sup
pose that May would love to be near
her old aunt again. that she'd hate to
lose one minute of those precious ten
days away from her side. But Aunt
Sarah was very old fashioned. May said,
so they had no interest" in common.
I wonder If. when May has children
Of her own. she will just do her duty
by them and leave it to other people to
love them. / wonder whether she will
just look over them every day to see
them and then turn them over to their
nurse and go to her "interests"?
wonder won't she ever find il fun to
sit down on the floor and play with
them. Won't she even once in a while
find it more interesting" just to be
with them for an afternoon than TO
hear that new cellist that everybody is
talking about?
1t doesn't seem so now. So far May
has seemed to love things rather than
people. And we are sorry for May.
Beautiful things and varied interests
help to fill and lend color to our lives.
But they are merely the pleasant froth.
They can't satisfy our deeper longings,
they can't bring us the real joys that
are necessary to happiness. They can't
give us LOVE. without which life would
aoon be cold and barren. No. May.
those who love things rather than peo-
pie are not likely to find happiness.

Now was the time for meditation.
And a rosy glow certainly was more
conducive TO chcery thought than this
Stygian gloom.
a small mirror stood beside the read
ing lamp and Eve stretched out hand
to grasp 1t. The contamination of her
own pretty, piquant little face was a
great stimulant to cheerful thought.
Now, in the pinkish glow that en-
veloped her. she surveyed the attractive
image in the little glass.
The adjective attractive" might
possibly be questioned. A psychologist,
ut any rate, might question it, For,
though Eve was specifically pretty, her
beauty was but skin deep. There was
a hard set TO her baby mouth. a pecvish
line or two that n keen observer would
have seen-and placed"
Her eyes were just a shade too light
in color, just the merest triflc too close
set. Alone in the privacy of her own
room, too, where no ndmirer watched
her, there was hard, calculating
glcam in them that wasn't very sweet
or charming.
Eve. however, was entirely satisfied
with the pretty, shallow little face.
Thank heaven for good looks she
breathed. They're mighty useful in
world OF gullible men!
Yes, they had stood her always in
good stead. They were due to stand. "
too, for another ten years. anyhow.
And yet-and yet--this rackety life
was rather wearing.
II ought to capture a rich, substan-
tial man and marry him. ought to
waste no further time" Thus ran the
tenor of Ewes calculations. with my
beauty and brains" - here the girl
made comical little face-'ycs. brains
and charm--I ought to strike while
the irons hot :"
But the aggravating part was that
rich, substantial men, were so often
highly unattractive! Darlington s
friends bald headed prematurely
lined and worried -looking-enormously
preoccupied with eternal money grub
bing-leading sedentary lives that made
them fat, obese
OF course. one couldn't possibly get
everything. And. when one was def
nitely out for money, 1t was absurd to
be too sQueamish.
Still, after all. one was only human.
Eve mightn't be romantic, but she did
desire a husband with some physical
charm.
I'D hate to drag a freak around to
balls and parties" She made peevish
little face. 1T would be infinitely nicer
to have the kind of husband that other
women would be- simply crazy over.
Nasty. jealous cats--the lot of them.
1t might here be safely stated that
Eve herself had an intensely jealous
nature. She trusted no other woman
on Gods earth. Knowing full well her
own small -mindedness. she sought 1t all
the time in other members of her own
sex.
