 She was terribly disturbed. It had never occurred to her when she prom ised to marry Jock that she would have to have anything in particular to do with his mother, much less to live with her. Perhaps during their six months of vivid courtship Jock had not occasion to mention his mother . dozen times, and Beatrice never had done 50. Mrs. Rody had come to the wedding and Beatrice had seen here briefly, a tall, flat woman. in shape like bent lath, with dark eyes set in dark circles and thin, tight mouth.
 Beatrice knew certain things about her mothcr-in-law, how she had d. ways kept close to. Ter home, had never given . word of confidence to anybody and had shut the world out of her life and heart. Her husband had been dead five years, and in the succeeding time Jock had become a man, finished his education. His moth- CT lived in a small house at the other side of the town, . strange, lonely, re strained life. She was peculiar wom- an whom nobody knew much about, least of all her daushter-in-law.

There was such genuine regret in her tone that her nearer was impressed by it.
 Do not worry," he counseled. "Your sister is strong and level-headed and will not let her enjoyment interfere with her better judgment"
 q am not so sure," Lois argued. "She is, as you say, strong and level- headed up to a certain point. But her dancing has brought her into con tact with a gayer set than that in which I move-and cannot help being worried about it. It must, in time change her ideals and her out look, you know"
 Il do not fear that" the man insisted. Il think you are over anxious about your sister. Her teaching of children will be a good thing for her. It will occupy her to the exclusion of other dancing
 "I do not believe she will limit her teaching to children" Lois told him. Certainly she will not if George Dixon has his way. He is crazy about what he terms her talent and encourages her to go to cabarets and places like that with him. 1 fancy he will help her get pupils. Anyway, am glad you will not use your influence in that direction
 II do not flatter myself that I have much influence" Sumner said re- gretfully. And certainly since you suggest that it would be unwise for me to mention your sisters work to my parishioners, shall not think of doing it. You are so much better acquainted here than am l that I trust your judg- ment in this matter.
 Thank you!" Lois smiled grate- fully. Then, dropping her voice.
 Please do not think me silly she begged but I rather hate to have the church-people know that one of my fathers daughters plans to make her living in the way that Marian pro- poses"

 Lois flushed. She was conscious that she had struck wrong note in her last speech and inwardly she resented the mans lack of sympathy for her. She was sure it was because he admired her sister
 Marian, coming downstairs as the caller and his hostess came out of the living-roOm, explained her presence in sentence that made Lois dropping spirits rise in triumqh.

TODAY'S SHORT STORY '

Beatrice Rody had been married and in her new house only two months when her husband said to her:
 q guess we'll have to have mother come to live with us.'
 Your mother w Beatrice was shock ed into a silence that excluded every thing. beyond that one exclamation. But her lips closed tightly. She had firm lips and a stout little chin.
 Jock scowled.
 Your mother, too, Bee, remember that" He said, no more then, but a little later he mentioned the subject again.
 "Oh.s I can't Jock! can't have her." Beatrice sighed. She looked around the dear, small house where she was only just beginning to feel restfully at home. It was large enough for three, but not for her mother-in- law.
 ,"I can't support two houses Jock said. Mother hasn't enough to live on unless I help her. am her only child and l want to do for her what I can"
 "Of course, but why didn't you tell me all this beforeT' Beatrice asked coldly.
 He looked straight ahead. Well, thought what earned would be enough and then, mother never told me until the other day how little she had left. suppose it took good deal to educate me-

 "Yon understand" he. added "that unless we double. up. families pretty soon we'll have to economize closer than that. That money will have to % to pay mothers rent
 Mrs. Rody's manner was not what might have been expected; she was neither grateful nor apologetic nor em- barrassed. She merely came, that was all. Beatrice gave her the best room and she erept into it and stayed there, out of sight and hearing, just as she had always stayed in her own house.
 Now that she was comfortably set tied in the house Jock paid mo more heed to his mother. ''She likes to be left alone" he said, and he let her alone. But Beatrice could not do that. Her mother-in-law's attitude puzzled and astonished her. She felt that there was barrier of some kind between this soul and the world, and she want cd to pcale it, to see what is concealed. She tried to draw Mrs. Rody out, to get her interested, aroused. She would 90 into that room and come away again, oppressed by the awful silence that en- shrouded the old woman. a&

woman composer, who has been
in Washington for while. leaving
for Chicago Friday, although spe-
cialiaing in music, has proved an
equally talented speaker on political
and economic problems. Nine. Lund
inherited musical talent from gifted
ancestors of several generations. Her
case is unique in that it shows four
well known woman composers in di-
rect line-madame's grandmother. her
mother, herself and her daughter.
On her fathers side there was equal
musical interest and talent, for his

Norway's violinists and one of the
greatest the world has ever known.
He died when Signe Lund was twelve
years old, but she says she has many
pleasant memories of him and his
playing, and that her mother played
with him in many concerts.
Nine. Lund also had two sisters
who were especially talented mu-
sicians-Birgit Lund, now director of
