down a sob. oh, well! She had lived
in worse places.
| She went back home and prepared a
| delicious little meal, economical but
tasty. At the last moment Dick tele-
phoned to see If he might bring Elsie
home to dinner. OF course he might.
And he did.
It was a difficult affair-for Dick,
who was the awkward young house

played a glittering new ring, for Martha,
| trying to be hospitable and unobtru-
sive at the same time. Nina was quite
herself. She kept things going with her

walked home with Elsie, she helped
Martha with the dishes.

ry, mother. You don't have to stay
here minute longer than you want
to. Well be happy anywhere so long
as we're together"
That's true. dear" Martha kissed
her child's cheek. II suppose really 1t
would be nicer to just go and let the
young folks have things to themselves.
You see, they're not going to have q
long honeymoon, just few days. Dick
can't leave work"
Just as you say. mother, darling"
So it was settled. Nina was to rent
the apartment on Loder street. They
would move right in, the sooner the
better.
The following noon Maria looked up
from the hash she was turning to sec
Nina.
"You rented the apartment" she
asked.

kitchen table. leaning her head on her

So Dick was going to marry Elsie
Barth! Everybody knew 1t but her.
Nina must know it. Nina had been
keeping it away from her.
Nina came In presently. She was
slender. vivid. young-iooking, in her
brown coat and hat, like an Autumn
leaf
How long since Dick decided to
marry Elsie Barth?" Martha asked.
Il don't know, mother I've been
hearing it quite while. Dicks clam
for condolences, you know
Then he may be married any time,
He bought this house with that inten-
ton"
Well" Nina looked troubled. "Now
don't worry, mother. OF course Elsie
will feel she's the boss here. If we can
get along together We ought to, but
Why. you and I can go into one Of
those little new apartments on Loder
street AS far as that goes you and I
can be happy anywhere"
Yes. dear" So it was all true. She

she could not tell.
Whenever you are ready for your
home, dear" she said quite steadily.

you"

oh, now, motherl When Elsie comes
here she'll just be one Of us. What's
the matter? Do you think We can't
all live together?"
That's for Elsie to say" replied
Martha gently.
There was an embarrassed interval
"Oh, say, Will Boyd came into our
office and bought lot today. He's
going to build house in the Spring"
Marthas glance went to her daugh-
ter's face. Nina was looking down at
the roll she was buttering. Her face
revealed nothing. How brave she was
to take it like that! Nina had always
cared for Will Boyd although out
wardly they had been casual friends.
This meant that Will was going to be
married-and Nina was out of it. Poor,
poor child!
Next day Martha went to see one Of
the little apartments on Loder street.
1t had three rooms and bath-a new,
clean. bare little place, no garden or
maple, no place for even flower. And

Settled for Life.


n Ar ARTHA PELL swept the walk

wv new broom. When she came
4 L to the big maple that shaded
the house she paused and
laid her hand upon its rough trunk,
looking up at 1t with tender pride. 1t
had not a leaf. but some day 1t would
be green with whispering leaves. Blessed
tree! Her own tree--or rather Dicks.
Whatever was Dicks was hers, just as
whatever she had was his. There were
no reservations OF a selfish sort be-
tween her and her son.
Dick had bought this little house with
the guardian tree, the bit OF lawn, the
tiny garden spot at the back. For about
a month now she had been at home.
1t was a goodly feeling TO be at home
to know that you could meet the storms
of life sheltered. And there had been
so many storms since her husband died
A good man, Charlie. but he had left
her and her two small children unpro-
vided for. She had worked and prayed
until somehow she had got them to the
point where they could care for them
selves. Then as she was so very tired
Dick had bought this home for them
all. Nina was helping with the living
expenses. All mother had to do was
to keep house. After years of outside
work keeping house was JOY. She
loved to cook and wash dishes and dust
furniture. To be free to move as she
wished, to sit at her window. to warm
at her own fire! The wonder and peace
Of it.
That's a nice tree!' Martha turned
and saw a neighbor,* Mrs Simmons,
with her market basket. Her face
frightened
Eyes. it is nice tree I was Just
thinking that myself. Lovely morning.
Mrs. Simmons"
Dreadful cold. Got settled yet?"
"All settled" Martha laughed, push
ing back her gray hair with her slender
hand. Settled for life, may say"
Settled for life, eh?" Mrs. Simmons
mouth twitched. We'll. I'm sure I
hope so, for your sake. But you never
can tell OF course you may get along
with your new daughter-in-l law bet
tern most women do with theirs:
What do you mean?' Martha drop
ped the broom, clutching her gray
sweater near the throat.
why, everybody's saying that Dicks
going to marry Elsie Barth. I thought
you knew 1t"
Martha stopped to pick up the broom.
She gave a flirt or two with it. Then
she laughed again.
What everybody says must be true.
OF course my son has reached the age
when a young man usually begins to
think of getting married. One can't
blame him, you know. Besides, Elsie
Barth Is, nice girl"
"DoAyou know her?" inquisitioned the
relentless old woman. Martha was
silent. She's nice girl and the like
of that, but she's great hand to have
her own way. Her folks brought her up
to be babiec. Yet, as. I say, maybe
you'll get along all right with her.
You've got an easy disposition. The
old woman logged away toward her own
portal and Martha went into the house.
