It may turk in the background as a comfortable alternative when some burden becomes too heavy, it may glow in the distance as the luminous climax of life of rigid virtue, but 1t is there always.
 Philip Ames' laugh broke through my musings.
 You are day-dreaming-and l have been talking to the air." He was at least as good-natured as he was good looking.
 "l have heard it sad" he was bending toward me slightly, his hands playing lightly with the wheel, that there is only one thing which young and pretty women dream about m spring-love."
 But 1t wasn't love," And for want of something better to say, 1 continued, 'keally. l was wondering what to do to persuade your sister-in- law at least to try me as her secre- tary."
 "You-a secretary" Then lightly. Its against my principles to see lovely women working. But since you will" resignedly. let me use my influence. I'll drop in on Lii tomor- TOW morning and tell her how dis gracefully lazy all of her friends think she is, not to have acknowledged their invitations and notes, and that's shes goins to lose her prestige and all of that-and then, Miss Sorenson, l think you'll be sent for"

WHEN A WOMAN TELLS BY RUTH AGNES ABELINC
Chapter V-I Ride With Philip Ames

Helga Sorenson, who herein
 tells her own story, has just
 broken her engagement-cOnies
 ing to her fiance that she had de-
 liberately trapped him for his
 money and that freeing him was
 the first honest thing she had
 ever done. Today she finds her
 self on the verge of a new and
 greater adventure.
 My lovely sister neglected intro auctions, but since you are in mS brothers home, l feel certain privi lege of friendship"

 ''I am Philip Ames," he was saying best known as simply the brother o that indecently rich John Ames, anC l haven't yet the pleasure of knowms your name.'
 "Sorenson," l said absently. "Helg; Sorenson."
 My brain seemed to be speeding into a vaguely disturbing future, fantastic sort of thing of distorted values and unrealties.
 Suddenly my mind focused on mar riage I wondered whether there ha' been after all really big pr!uCipl' back of my running away from Tom Or whether it was just caprice which had swung my frail cratt mt the whirlpool of life.

BETTER BUSINESS
IN NEW ENGLAND

Boston, Feb. 22.-Activity in shoe
manufacture and definite improve
ments in textile lines as compared
with conditions of three months ago
are reported from center of those in
dustries in New England. The shoe
industry which was very fiat last fall
has taken a squirt as a result of Eas.
ter demands and manufacturers say
they look for a general strengthening
in the call for shoes after the usual
dull period. of the spring, with re-
turn to normal production by the
end Of the year. .,,..~.
Production of; cotton textiles has
increased during the. winter from 25
to so per. cent: and even more in some
special lines, according to. manufac-
turers, who credit. the Improvement
largely to the stimulous of low prices
quoted to the trade as a result of the
% 1-2 per cent. wage cut. In the
cotton mill centers Of New Hamp-
shire, Rhode Island, Maine and Mas
sachusetts distinct advance is re-
ported. Except in Fall River, the CEN
ter Of the print cloth industry where
the mills employing $4,000 are now
operating on full time with full crews,
few instances of return to normal in
that industry have been reported thus
far.
Mills Of the American Woolen COM
pany in Lawrence are employing
more help than previously and are
being run more hours under the wage
reduction of % 1-2 per cent. but are
working at less than half their ca
pacity, it is estimated.
Larger makers Of cotton mill ma
chinery have continued to run with
full forces through the dull period in
textile manufacture, but a consider
able degree of curtailment is evident
in other machinery lines.
