In January. 1918. she came to the

sion Miss I.enroot hecame assistant

| II was during this time that the inn
portant investigation into the status
and care Of children born ont Of wed
lock was begun and carried forward.
| and on this Miss Lundberg and Miss
I.enroot published several joint re-
ports. These became the basis of the
model act for the support Of the lille.

tional Conference OF Commissioners
on Uniform State Laws. which has
seen adopted by five States. and from
in others. This was the first change
that had been made in this group of
laws in over 100 years.
In 1921. Miss T.enroot was made
head Of the editorial division OF the
bureau. but this work was terminated
by the appointment to her present
position. November is. 1922. Her
duties now are chiefly administrative.
and she has been kept especially busy

wavered. Why not 60 with him and
make the trip serve as reunion be-
tween Them Why not give up the
feverish hope that life might be some,
thing different for her? Why not stop
once and for All the cheap deception
that she had been practicing for So
long? This was the better side Of
Florence pleading for recognition. but
the thought of seeing Merton without
the knowledge that Richard might
come home AT any minute was too
alluring. 1t might he her chance TO
make him declare himself. and once
he said something definite. she would
tell Richard that she intended To leave
him.
Not this: time. dear" she returned
shaking her head slowly. When I
so on trip want to feel more like
myself"
Richard left on Saturday morning
and Florence was to see Merton that
afternoon. She had Kitty make many
little cakes with cream filling for the
tea, while she herself made the sand
wiches. There were some of water
cress. some Of cucumber. and some of
minced tongue. and. in addition to the
tea. she was planning To serve a hot
drink made of spiced wine favored
with lemon.
At o'clock Merton arrived He
had Just received an unusually large
check from home. and was in good
spirits. They sat together on the
wide couch. Merton with an arm
flung lightly about Florence's shoul-
ders.
For the first time since she had
known Florence. Merton began to talk
of his future.
'Its great stuff to he able to walk
right into dads office" he was saying.
And maybe the old boy isn't going to
come across big. He's not starting me
off on any starvation ages. I'll he
able TO do pretty we'll for myself
Florence answered him in monosyl-
Ia bles. listening with her eyes fixed
attentively on his face. Having
touched on the subject Of his future.
she was eager for him to say more.
and when. after a time, he caught her
up To him impulsively. murmuring
with his lips asainst her hair: You're
darling do you know it, Florence"
she leaned her head on his shoulder
and slipped her warm. soft fingers
into his.
DO YOU like me. then, Merton.

Florence was not 70 know what II was

An Unwelcome interruption.

A few days after fhis incident Rich

She loved roaming around the quaint

There are two occupations from
which these family names variously
have developed.
One is easy to guess. The medeva |
English would quite naturally refer to
maker of couches as "coucher" 4"
The "coucher" or "couchnan was.
therefore. virtually an upholst erer.
But there was also another occupa .
ton more humble. which gave rise 10
the term "couchman." and in a great
many cases the family name comes
from this.
AZ somewhat earlier period the
French word "roucher." meaning 10
lie" uhe Dutch was "koetsen') de
veloped the word couch which orig
inally meant not only a piece of fur
niture. hut also litter or carriage in
which one might recline. In short. il,
developed the word coach" which is
but another spelling Of couch" rrhe
Dutch for coach was koetse." from

woman, strobe to the tennis
courts to greet some friends
in the women's open tourna-

AS a result, the fastidious
flappers and dowagers here
have not stopped talking
about it.
A large gallery was gather
ed for the tennis matches. 1t
was just before tea time. All
the women were wearing their
newest afternoon frocks.
They were looking at each
others clothes more than they
were at the tennis.
Then Miss Sears came strid.
ing along. She wore no
dainty afternoon frock, but a
costume all her own. Her
upper garment can be bought
at any sporting goods store,
but not at a modiste's. 1t
is known as a ''sweat shirt"
Underneath she had a WOOL
en- shirt. Her skirt was a wide
checkered affair. Her shoes
were devoid of French heels,
but were large and heavy and
were studded with hobnails.
She explained that she was
out for a stroll, perhaps, ten,
perhaps fifteen miles.
