Eve took her mother to dinner
that evening at a hotel where IN
| orchestra that Kate had heard over
the radio was playing. Here the
I patrons were permitted to select
part of the musical program and
Eve, unknown to her mother, sent
a note to the leader of the orches-
ira, asking for two Of her mothers
/ favorite songs
After dinner they went to the
early showing Of a movie and re-
turned home, weary and ready for
bed.
THURSDAY evening Eve took her
Il mother to see Marya and Ray
in their charming home and

them at dinner. Arlene and Sam

You have nice friends, Eve
Kate BayleSS said after the visit to
Mrs. Penney's apartment. She had
picked up her crochet work-a little
cap she was making for Esther's
/ baby-and settled herself in a chair
by the fire. And they have nice
homestead homes. Daughter, when
are you going to quit working for
other people and settle down in
earneSt?"
"I-Dick and I have a nice home,
/ too, mamma"
Just now Dick has exactly no
home at all. Nor you, either. 1
can't look on and see you making
a mess of your life, dear child, with
out warning you how it is likely to
end.
Il didn't say much at first about
your working after you were mar
ried. I thought that by this time
you'd probably have baby and
would be glad to stay at home and
! keep house and let your husband
earn the money. Then, when Dick
got this new job was so glad. I
/ thought, Of course, that you'd go
with him. How long will his work
keep him away, Eve?"
"A year, he thinks. Possibly
| longer" Ewes voice was very low.
And after that? What if his
next job takes him somewhere else
instead of bringing him here
again?"
/ - UOu KNOW, UuOIIleI!
Child, you're not happy living
this way. You don't look happy.
And you never even speak of your
husband unless I bring up the sub
ject. Why don't you give up your
work at BiXby's and go to him,
Eve? Don't you want to go?"
n
Tor answer Eve rose, flung her
Il self into her mothers arms and
sobbed against her comforting
shoulder Kate patted her, MUIR
muring endearments, and encour-
aged her to relieve her unhappi-
ness in tears. Presently when Eve
had gained some control over her
voice she confessed, ooh, I want
him so dreadfully, mother, but I'm
not sure he wants mel"
And she told her mother of the
eStrangement that had arisen.
Il guess I'm partly to blame for
all this" Kate BayleSS went on
when Eve had dried her eyes and
was sitting on low stool at her
mothers feet.
You? Why how could you be to
blame? You were hundreds of miles
/ away!"
Well, I always tried to save YOU
from even the little hardShipS when
you were a child. I thought there
would be time enough for you to
face such things when you were
older. What overlooked was to make
you see that when you left home
and went out into the business
world and into a home of your own
you'd have to begin to do some of
the hard things yourself and sacri-
flee your own wishes and comfort
sometimes for others. I thought
you'd see it yourself, Eve. didn't
realize that you needed to be told"
But I do hard things-loads of

mama. you wouldn't say such a
thing!'
We'll, maybe you do-at Bixby's,
where it doesn't really matter. But
at home. Eve? Did you do any of
the hard things at home or did you
put them all on Dick? You admit
that he did nearly all the cooking.
Was that fair? Was that going if
ty-hfty as you're so fond of putting
it?"
WHY shouldn't he do it, when
NFhe always got home first in
the EVENING""
We'll. what about breakfast"
Dick had to get to work earlier
than I did. Why should he expect
me to get up a half hour earlier
just to make him some coffee and
toast and boil eggs when he could
