The inlad wood of the dining room table was covered with white rings where sticky, wet glasses had been set down.
 A curtain had been pulled from it's pole. It lay on the floor
 The whole house was a wreck!
 Next time I give a party it'll be a barn dance or picnic in the woods"" Glory said to herself. "They certainly ruined my cute little house last night"
 She forgot her own part in the revelry.
 The front door-bell rang. |. Mother Gregory.
 Gloria could see her through the net curtains on the door.
 She made up her mind not to let her in.
 Then the bell rang again a short, commanding ring!
 The girl flew to the door.
 Without a word Mother Gregory stepped into the house.
 She looked al laround lar. Then she turned her eagle eyes upon her beautiful daughter-in-law.
 In her expensive dress of gray silk, Glory held a duster in one hand. and the torn shawl in the other.
 T like your working clothes" Mother Gregory said scornfully. Where's your apron?"
 Then her voice became more gentle.
 "Come in and sit down, Glory" she said quietly, q want to talk 10 you. Maggie told me about the drunken party you had here last night. But couldn't believe all she said , until just now. .. Gloria, do you think you're starting the right way, in this marriage of yours and Dicks?"
 "I don't know what you mcan,"

LETTER FROM LESLIE PRES corr TO RUTH BURKE,
 CONTINUED

Do you know, Ruth dear am not sure that Alice Hartley has not the right idea about this very im- portant phase Of life. She is treat ing marriage as a business, She knows that If she can not be a suc- cess at that she can not make a success of anything, She respects Porter Breed principally because she knows that he can. give her what is indispensable 10 her happiness all that money can buy. He has re- gently had another fortune left him. She is determined. as she says, 10 be successful in woman's inevitable business.
 As a rich mans wife she will be successful. As a poor mans wife she would be an abject failure. That is the reason why she has turned her attention 10 getting a man with money as a partner, Personally, l can See nothing wrong in this, for if she wanted to have a partner in hllN llltI buSllltoo ollt NOhlh lObN out for one who was able to invest in it the money needed to carry it on.
 With frankncss of modern girl she discusses the whole matter with lack of hypocrisy that Is quite re- frcshing.
 l am glad and l know that you will also be glad 10 help her in any way 10 attain her ambition. l have came to the conclusion Ruth, that it is not always the poor girl who needs help the most. Some times the problem of the girl who moves among the rich, whose friends have plenty of money, who appears 10 all the world as a rich girl are

much harder 10 solve, T
 Alice told me she expected to be married in. about three weeks, and then she added with a grin at the humor Of the whole thing, Porter doesn't know 1t yet but I'm almost certain that the ceremony will take place three weeks from Wednesday,"
 You see, Ruth. that Alice Hartley. although she does not know it, Is a disciple of George Bernard Shaw, who Is the one man who has the courage 10 tell the truth about something that every woman knows If she will only talk honestly about it.
 Every woman knows that in reality she is not the pursued, but the pursuer. She knows. long be- fore the man in the case does that he is going to propose marriage to her, Also she is quite able to ward off any making she does not careto accept. Therefore, you had better prepare to be in town by three weeks from Wednesday for Alice will be disconsolate if you are not here for her wedding.
 shall gladly go and wish them all joy, and l haven't the slightest doubt whatever that they will not both be as happy as the average married couple.
 l believe that all people would be so much happier if there was not so much stress put upon passionate love as necessity 10 happy mar riagc, Regard, respect, affection, similar tastes, sympathy and under standing. and last but not least, great tolerance, are much more i'm portant.

Dicky's Tenderness Blots Out Madge's Resentment.

I had expected Dicky to object to my plan for his mothers four day soiourn in the city with him rarely in our life together has he agreed without cayil to any Sug- gestion of mine. for he has, with many other men the tendency to say mo" first and "yes" afterward - but the violence Of his objection, coupled with his reference 10 money, startled me and Set my mind travelling along unpleasant paths of conjecture.
 This was the second time within | few days that Dicky had betray- ed an uneasiness concerning cX- penditures. This was totally unlike him, for he usually is not only care free, but distinctly careless in mat ters of personal finance. On the first occasion there had been nc such outburst as his heated What do you think I'm made Of? Twenty dollar bills?" It was his manner not his words, which had arrested my attention then, and his hcsl- tancy when he had said that he would "get" the money for his mothers shopping. The little word "get" had bothered me unduly, for I had supposed that Diclky had only to write a check to supply the modest needs of either his mother or myself.
 That something unusual was be. hind his angry outburst, I feared greatly and with the fear, of course came quick change of plans. Il Dicky were facing financial short age, I must not add anything tc his expenses, and I spoke quickly placatingly.
 ''Oh, I'm so sorry, Dicky. I didn' guess - I'll manage. If I leave Katie at the Durkees I'm sure i will be perfectly all right for Moth CT to stay there for four day more"
 T Simply Can't Manage!s
 I waited breathlessly the answe ts this. If Dicky's outburst wer' simply the result of some surface Irritation, the proposal I had jus made to have his mother remain a the Durkees would quickly brinl him to terms. He would prompt, tell me to have her come into tn city, On the other hand - my men tai thermometer shot downward a Dicky's voice, not violent now, bu with q distinct note of relief sound ing through it's pettishness, spok quickly, decisicely:
 It will have to be all right, that all. If old Lil's as near the break ing point as you say - which aoubt, incidentally - the combina ton of Mother and Katie woul land her in a padded cell. But it a blasted shame to wish them O the Durkees at this time. However

"Weu!" Raggedy Ann said as the fired carpenter came up to where she and Raggedy Andy stood upon the front steps of the magic gro- eery store talking to Toofie. the lit tis magician. You should have been here awhile ago to see how Toofie changed the fierce wild cou- gars into rubberfoot ball cougars and kicked them clear across the place."
 T wondered why the fat man was running so fast" the carpen- ter laughed. "He passed me back there in the woods and close be- hind him three fierce wild cougars were running! l jumped behind a tree when saw them and they didn't see me at all"'
 ''The magician changed the cou- Bars into rubber football cougars Then when he had kicked them off the front porch and the fat man had started running, Toofie changed them into wild meat cougars again." Raggedy Andy laughed,
 '"T-hen I spect the cougars have chased him home and he has lock ed himself in his house" the car penter said. "We will not be both cred with him again today"
 AS a number of little woodland creatures had come into the magic grocery store while they were talk. ing, the tired carpenter and TOofic went in to wait on them, And while they were inside, Raggedy Ann saw over behind some trees, the three wild cougars trying to hide.
 Look" she said 10 Raggedy Andy! There are the three wild fierce cougars and I'll bet, they are hiding to catch some Of the wood. land creatures as they return homo from the grocery store"
 Less fool them" RagEedy Andy said as he went into the magic store and whispered 10 Tooflc. Too ne put his hand in his pocket upor his magic charms and said.
 "Take string of wiener wurst' with you, RaggeIy Andy" So Rag Eedy Andy took long string 0 wiener wursts and with these drag ging upon the ground behind him he ran out the front door an

Constipation often is considered a minor ailment.
 But regardless, it is one of the most common of ailments, and often is the root of serious troubles.
 Persons who lead a scdentary life are most subject to constipation. For them there is one cardinal prin- ciplc to be laid down for its treat mcnt.
 This is diet. Medicine may relieve constipation, but it does not remove the cause.
 Diet is the thing. Avoid eating as much as usual. Substitute in the place of meat, more fruits, in

 Glory" she said after q long pause, I'm terribly sorry for going to pieces last night the way did. It's not that I mind having said that l think drinking parties are dreadful. l do think it! ,. But I'm sorry told you about Bin and his drinking '. and his debts"
 70, l forgot about that as soon as you'd said it." Glory answered. Besides, everybody knows all about Bill. anyway"
 T know" Lola answered. But I'm his wife and n2 matter what he does. it's my job 10 stand up for him. And If I do l know that, in the end, everything will come out all right"
 Lola" said Glory suddenly. Are you ever sorry you married Bill ?"
 Sorry l married Bill?" Lola re- peated in surprised tone, "Of course not! -. Why, I'd rather be poor and be Bills wife than |. anything else on eartn.
 Glory stared at her. She saw that Lola meant what she said. Over worked and neglected, she still was happy in making a home for man who never was in 1t when there was any other place 10 go, She was q puzzle.
 As Glory went up the street to- ward her own home she noticed Q girl all in rusty black just ahead of her.
 The girl turned in at the Greg orys' front walk. Glory hurried to catch up with her.
 You must be the maid from the employment agency |. . Ranghild Swanson?", she asked
 The girl turned and smiled Glory liked her instantly. She hated peo- pie who weren't pleasant to look at.
 This girl with her corn-fower blue eyes and corn-colored hair was.
 Together they walked up the steps of the house.
 Tell mo what you can do," Glory said when they were in the hall.
 T can do any kind of house. work" Ranghild said simply. And I'm a good, plain cook. And if you have washing-machine l don't mind doing the laundry"
 Glory considered. This sounded too good 10 be true!
 And how much would you want for doing all that work" she asked
 "Eighteen dollars a week." Rang hild's voice was firm.
 Eighteen dollars. Seventy-nve a month! Glory wondered if Dick could afford to pay Ranghild that much money. Oh, well, he'd just have to pay it! Other men could afford maids for their wives. There was no reason why Dick couldn't, too!
 "All right" Glory said. Gan you start work tomorrow"
 Ranghild nodded. She said she'd i be at the house in time 10 get break fast. That was a blessing,
 But in the meantime there wa: the house to be cleaned up.
 AS soon as Ranghild had gone Glory took off her hat and fur coat
 She hung them in the clothes ! closet under the stairs. In the cor 1 ner of it stood the vacuum cleaner
 Glory took it out. She attached it to floor plug and ran it around the house.
 Then she laid a newspaper or the floor. Into it she threw all the broken glasses and cigaret ashc! she could find.
 Someone had cmptiod glass O gin -gingerale all over the Spanisf shawl on the piano. The silk haC stuck to the wood.
 And when Gloria tried to pull i away, large piece of the gaud! embroidery was torn out. Under meath, the wood was stained ant marked.
 -. There was q big hole burned in the blue velvet davenport Bil Hough had probably done that witl his everlasting cigaret!

unless you can think of something there's no alternative, simply cant manage hotel soiourn and shopping trip for Mother just now Later perhaps. if things break: but just now Well, l cant tell you about it over the wire"
 All right" l struyr hard 10 make my voice chccry. although l feared that the effort was a failure. Don't bother your head any more about it, I'll sec 10 cvcrylhing When are you coming out 9"
 "Do you need me-" he cOunlervd If so, lll drop everything and run out today. for don't mind telling you, that you've been a laundering good scout about this"
 There was that in his voice which warmed my heart, and banishcd all recollection of his captiousness. l wonder sometimes if women gener- ally permit persuasive, fascinating tenderness to heal hcartache in the fashion in which l always find my self fOrgiying my own especial Peter Pan.

 "Ill be Johnny -on-the-spot to ] escort them 10 the farmhouse in state. my husband interrupted. Just let me know a few hours ahead of time"
 That will be splendid" l as- sured him, "and I'll keep you post ed. Goodbye"
 l hung up the receiver and sink ing into the nearest chair, gave my self up to an introspective and ret respective speculation concerning the things which Dicky was hiding from me. For that he was in grave l financial straits of some kind l could not doubt. But knowing his high spirit, his sonsitiveness, and his imperious dislike for advice or proffered air, I felt that my hands were tied, for the present, at least.
 It was a feeling that persisted and grew stronger during the days following my appeal to Dicky. They were days of vigil on Katherine $ part and mine over Lillian and the amnesia-strickon girl she had brought to the farmhouse. The physical progress of both patients was most gratifying. and my brain was free to consider Dcky's prob- lem. And when the day finally came which brought Mother Graham Ln- der her sons escort to the farm, I found myself studying Dicky's un- usually sober face, while !ny heart rang the changes on the questions "What?' and "Whyo"
