been wrong to refuse him.
After all, surely any sort Of love
was better than none!
She wondered what Philip was
doing--how he was spending this
last evening. She turned suddenly
and looked at Mrs. Winterdick, re-
Numbering her presence with a
start. The elder woman said
gently:
My dear, don't worry about me-
go and see what Phil is doing"
Eva did not answer. She stood
twisting her wedding ring nervous
ly. She wondered how much this
mother Of Philip knew of the
tragedy of their marriage. Many,
many times she had longed to tell
her all about 1t, but she was afraid.
She had never quite conquered
the feeling that the Winterdicks
looked down upon her, and that
they still considered the obligation
entirely on their side.
She turned to the door, when Mre
Winterdick called her back.

the girls hand. and Eva could feel
how her own trembled.

again. with an effort. Perhaps we

we might have done, but oh.

she added piteously.
Eva tried to answer, but no
words would come.
So well worth loving! Did she
need to be told that? She bent
hurricdly and kissed the elder wom-
ans sad face and went slowly away.
There WAS a wood fire burning in
the hall. for the evenings were
chilly, and she went across to II
and knelt down before the CHEEKY
blaze. holding her hands to its
warmth. But for the moment the
tears in her eyes blurred every
thing.
She knew just how Philips
mother must be feeling-just what
pain had prompted ner words. Her
own love for Philip gave her under
standing, and yet through II all
rose the rebellious thought that no.
body had considered her. Nobody
knew or cared that her own heart
was breaking.
After tonight I shall have to
leave my boys happiness to YOU"
She could only suppose that every
one believed that she cared nothing
for Philip, since even his mother
hesitated to trust his happiness to
her; and yet without him she felt
that she would just cease to exist.
As she knelt there she heard
Philip come down the stairs into the
hall behind her.

IN HE girls Of this country are not
eating "a sufla RI deal I'm reanecf

IN HE girls Of this country are not
getting a square deal in respect
- to their guidance for a life
work. The millions Of dollars now
being spent by the nation. the
States and the communities for
such training is going very largely
to the assistance Of boys.
There are just as many girls as
boys In this country, and the same
number of young women as young
men. But, sad to say, there is a
false assumption that girls are not
as a rule to enter a vocation. They
are just girls, who are to be listed
as at home" In case they do not
drift into some kind Of employment.
Or, perhaps they will get married.
And here comes the grossest false
assumption within the whole series
of false conceptions. about girls. 1t
is the idea that the married life of
woman is not vocation, that she
needs no vocational training either
before or after marriage.
1t is true that our best standard
high schools are now all teaching
so-called domestic science and art, a
course confined chiefly to cooking
OF the house, the manage Of a hus-
band, the management OF children,
the cooperation between the bust
ness Of the wife and that Of the hus-
band, the relation Of the family to
other families and to other major
institutions-as the church, the
school. the community-these are
momentous considerations for girl
hood and womanhood In. the making.
Fifty-one percent of our college
girls marry. Careful and reliable
inquiries have shown that over 90
per cent of college girls give mar
rage as their decided preference for
life work. Tho clear inference here
is that 40 per cent Of our college
girls arc failures. Sooner or later
they have bitter knowledge of tho
fact that they are failures.
But the entire responsibility for
the high percentage Of failures
among our girls Of today to find IA
life that satisfies, falls back upon
the neglect of vocational guidance.
Men only" Is the sign we have
stuck up everywhere in the matter
of vocational training. What the
girls of America, therefore. need and
must have before 1t may be said
that they are getting squire deal

some vague way he had been grossly
outraged and wronged.
The little apartment which they
inhabited was smart and attractive.
~ was everything that Diana
touched. 1t was as much like a
home as an arrangement of hat
boxes can be. And 1t was never
just the right temperature.
Soon after Christmas the Fenns
began to worry about the summer.
Diana would have preferred to re-
main In the city; but for Tam that
was out Of the question. 1t was de-
cided finally that Diana and Tam
should inhabit the little house at
Combers and that Fem should come
to them for the week-ends and for
two solid weeks in August. To ia
cflitate the somewhat difficult com
muting and marketing he decided to
buy a secondhand jitney. He felt
that he had a bent for mechanics
and that he was just the kind of man
who by a little weekly tinkering
could keep a motor in good running
srder.
1t was already hot when Diana
and her little daughter left the city
for good. They had made several
previous trips to Combers in the
jitney, fatiguing all-day affairs, to
put the house to rights and to get
their luggage moved without troub-
ling the railroads about anything
but the big trunks, and during
these trips had become closer and
dearer to each other than they had
ever been before.
In almost every way Combers
was a change for the better: the
surrounding mountain scapes
seized, filled and satisfied the eye.
Unless the atmosphere itself chose
to be articulate the nights were az
still as they were cool and fresh.

~ HILIP'S face tonight was q
constant reproach to her.
She avoided looking at him
as much as possible. The lit
tie plasure which she had found
in arranging and furnishing the
apartment faded into the back
ground. She was conscious of a sort
of home-sick feeling herself as she
realized that this was their last
night in the Highway House.
She had not been happy here. and
yet well. II was Philips
home, and she loved 1t for his sake.
When dinner was ended she fol-
lowed Mrs. Wlnterdick to the draw
tng-room. Conversation was diff
cult. Eva knew that the elder wom-
an was blaming her for taking
Philip away. She rose eagerly when
Mrs. Winterdick asked her to play
something. She sat down at the
piano, glad OF an opportunity to put
an end to the forced conversation.
The song she had been trying the
night when Philip tried to kiss her
still stood on the rack. She turned
a sheet absently and looked at the
words:
Though all the skies are clouded,
Though all the portents lower,
Somewhere--to someone
This is the golden hour.
The hour that comes softly
To women and men,
Who only know thereafter
That they were happy-then!
The music was soft and dreamy,
and seemed to be very much one
with the words. She played 1t over
with the soft pedal down. the words
ringing In her head:
The hour that comes softly
To women and men,
Who only know thereafter
That they were happy-then!
That hour had come 70 her--oncci
The little golden hour on the night

HOW TO COOK
CORN
BY Loretto c. Lynch

~ INCE the Indians first showed
the early settlers how to plant
corn. this toothsome vegetable
has been a favorite. About now. In
all sections of the country, corn-on-
cob is to be had.
Husk each ear and carefully re-
move the growth commonly called
silk" Have ready a pot of boiling
water. Plunge the corn into 1t and
cover. Boil gently about ten min
utes. About the last three minutes
of the cooking add one level table
spoon of salt for each six ears.
Women not familiar with cooking
corn make a mistake by overlooking
it. Ten minutes is quite sufficient
II the water is really boiling. An
other error has to do with the salt.
II the salt is put in at the beginning
It toughens the corn. Break an car
in half and cook one-half of It as d.
rected at the beginning OF this ar
ticle. Cook the other half in salted
water for half an hour. Then try
both and note the difference in favor
of the method approved above.
In serving corn-on-cob. drain 1t
from the cooking water and place
IL between folded napkins on a warm
plate. 1t should be served soon after
cooking. Butter, salt and pepper are
usually passed with corn-on-cob.
Leftover corn has a variety OF
uses. OF course, 1t may be carefully
reheated right on the cob in boiling
water for a few minutes. On the
other hand, you may want to care

prise the family with corn creole

To prepare this for two cups
of corn allow one cupful Of tomato
sauce. A can of the thick PURGE cold

for this purpose. In it cook "A table.

Pour into a baking dish after IL

and mixed with the corn. Cover
the top with buttered bread crumbs

the corn but little recooking and
therefore helps to keep t tender and
