to see you choose a husband OF
strong, settled character, some
what your senior. If you do
not marry I shall be content.
In my generation it was con-
Sidered a woman's duty to
marry, to bear children, even
among those SO placed that the
financial necessity was not pres
ent. One of the few good
things modern ways of think
ing have accomplished is the
abolishing of that convention.
Nowadays, if a young woman
has means, position, opportuni-
ties of travel and culture, she
is not driven into marriage;
she may make her own life.
RebeIliOuS Children
Marriage is, of course, the
solution for the majority. Many
women marry now, as they used
to, for protection, a home. AS
long as I live you are assured
the protection; when I die you
will have all the safety, the
comfort with which money can
surround you. You are not
domestically minded. 1 have
observed that, watching you
mature. You will be able to
find a large and satisfactory
life without the aid of a man.
Children" She paused
and said, in a distant and
dreaming voice, Children are
not always a recompense-you

Mental Clasps
Joyce heard nothing of the
Bible chapter, the prayer. She
was thinking, in mental gasps,
of her mother, of Basil, of
Louisa. She felt Gagged, con-
fined; she felt that no matter
where she turned she would
be torn and bruised and scared

Rrandmother'S undertaking DOM

of her own slowly awakening

the burning barriers between
Basil's personality and her own.

She was silent. Joyce sat
there, under the hand which
lay still and heavily, upon her
hair. The girl hushed even her
breathing. For the first time
she stood upon the threshold Of
knowledge. She knew, without
another word uttered, that

gently, as one who would say

toys.
Joyce rose, kissed the cool,
dry cheek and went from the
room as quietly as her mother
had. At the sill she looked
back. Her grandmother sat as
she had left her; one hand felt
along the table beside her for
the Book which always lay
there, but her eyes were un-
seeing.

indrawn breath, and saw that
her mother had followed and
stood there, not quite beside
her, but little apart, on the
threshold, waiting, it seemed,
in a sort of defiant humility.
Mrs. Sheldon said, Come in,

Her tone was unhurried but
