ORANGES and Jerry still had Annie

Frances could not help smiling to
herself How Jerry was enjoying this
head of the household business. But II
made her heart ache n little when she
remembered what fool she had been.
Every morning she worked on her
story. Some days she felt that it was
good and that she was putting the best
Of herself into it. Other days she hated

on. But go on she did. She forced her
self to write on it every day, and with
all her heart she clung to the hope that
she might redeem herself by doing some
thing worth while,
Then one day il was finished.
She held the neatly typed manuscript
in her hand.
" The Crossroads, by Frances Car
ter Page"
Was there anything big in it, or was
it just very mediocre sort of thing
good only in her own mind?
Frances thought Of the women who
had made good on their first story, they
were very few and far between. Then
there were the others. the women who
tried and tried and struggled and gone
without things to eat in order to make
good. She remembered the story of a
woman who had tried drcarily for two
years to write something that the mag
azines might buy, but in vain.
Finally there came a time when she

had had no food for two days. and
looking out of the window of her attic
room she saw some one throw some
half eaten food into the ash barrel on
the opposite side OF the street. A
hungry cat was making its way

felt that she must get there first.

1t made very dramatic story. but
what must it have meant to hang or
and believe in oneself in the face ol
hunger as that woman had?
Frances thought of that as she carried
her story to the mailbox and dropped
IL in. She drew breath of relief. Al
least it was on its way. And with q
lighter heart she walked back to the
apartment.
When she reached home she fount

on the bed, and all of his chiffoniei

doorway and stared.
He looked up and saw her and the
worried expression in his face changed
to one Of relief.
Can you help me get few things
together, dear? I'm going out of town
on business, and / cant find thing.
Hurriedly Frances divestcd herself o.
her outer things and began to gel

piles. A feeling of loneliness was be-
ginning to creep over her. How much
her life was bound up in Jerry's that
she could not bear him to leave her for
even few days. She kept thinking OF
this oil the while he was explaining tc
her what had happened.
