tive ignorance of the denaturalized
brain, she had believed that a bril-
liant gifted mind could concentrate
itself upon any object with equal
fertility and power, but she had
seen too much Of the Sophisticates
Of late, and studied CIavering in
too many Of his moods to cherish
the illusion any longer Play
wrighting seemed to her a con
temptible pastime compared with
the hideous facts Of Life as ex-
emplified in Europe, and she had
restrained herself from an angry
outburst more than once. But she
was too philosophical, possibly too
fatalistic, not to have dismissed
this attitude eventually. Clayering
could not be changed, but neither
could she. There would be the
usual compromises. After all, of
what was life made up but Of com
promise? But the early glow of
the wOndroUs dream had faded.
The mistress was evidently the
role nature had cast her to play
The vision of home, the complete
matehood, had gone the way of all
dreams.

RAILROADS CALLED BIG
FACTOR IN PROSPERITY

That the railroads are perhaps the
greatest single factor in maintain
ING national and individual prosper
ity is the assertion Of w. A. Win
burn. President of the Central of
Georgia, in a statement discussing
the outlook for the coming year.
Mr.. Winburn points out that funds
of savings banks and life insurance
companies are largely invested IN
railway ecurities; therefore, every
man or women who has "a life insur-
ance policy or a savings bank de-
post is directly concerned in main
tanning railroad credit. The rail-
roads are large purchasers of ma
teriaI and supplies and in their own
operations and allied industries put
billions of dollars into circulation
and give employment to hundreds Of
thousands of people.
As an illustration, Mr. Winburn
states that the Central of Georgia
serves 625 communities with en-
ployes in each and with large NUM-
bers in such cities IS Albany, Allan
tia, Columbus, Macon, and Savannah.
Should decreased business necessi-
tate a reduction of force the effect
would he an immediate slump in
trade at the community retail store,
which in time would find its way
back to wholesalers, factory, and
/ farm.
The railway President declares
that no extension of special priv
ilege is asked but that if public SEN
timent would permit the railroads
to operate without further restric-
tons and political tampering, 1t will
go far towerd making 1924 a per-
iod of continued development and
widespread prosperity.

She was not sorry to forego the
doubtful luxury OF meditation on
the sadness of life. When Miss
Trevor's card was brought to her
she told the servant to show her
Up and bring tea Immediately She
was not interested in Agnes Trevor,
a younger sister Of Polly Vane, but
at all events she would talk about
her settlement work and give
comfortably commonplace atmos-
phere to the room in which tragic
clouds were rising. AS it had hap
pened, Mary, during these past
weeks, had seen little of New York
women between the relics Of her
Old set and their lively Society-Ioy-
ing daughters. The women between
forty and fifty, whether devoted to
fashion, politics, husbands, chill
dren, or good works, had so far
escaped her, and Agnes Trevor,
who lived with Mrs. Vane, was
practically the only representative
Of the Intermediate age with whom
she had exchanged a dozen words.
But the admirable spinster had
taken up the cause of the Vienna
children with enthusiasm and
raised a good deal Of money, be
sides contributing literally herself.
She was forty-two, and, although
she was said to have been a beauti-
full girl was now merely patrician

runs off him in the first inning and
finished the scoring for the day. Of
the five hits collected by the Acadcm-
icians not one was better than a

healthy smacks, among which were
two double and a triple.
