IN A recently published SYM
1 postum of twenty-eight authori-
ties on the present status of wom-
en-, one well-known writer tries to
explain women's failure. She
says it is natural for women to
fail. For sit is out of the neces-
sity for food and shelter and for
providing for the family that
most men have fashioned sue
cess, and the lack of this insistent
necessity has been a great handi-
cap on the activities of women"
What they have had to do"
we are told, women have often
done very well indeed. Crises of
illness in their children call forth
from mothers efforts that in
other phases would be termed he
roic. Likewise, during the World
war, women faced danger and
loss CALAMITY, and they were
happier than at any other time
in this Twentieth century. But
there are today so few things that
women have got to do"
If our readers find that ridi-
culous, l am glad they agree with
me, says a noted writer on SUBJ
jects pertaining to women. To
call women failures because
more men are in "Who's Who,"
because less women than m e n
have made positions for them
selves in the professions and in
dustries of the country, is pre-
posterous on the face of it. 1t
leaves entirely out of account the
fact that success cannot be meas
ured by rule of thumb, that it is
a relative term. Suppose a wom-
an who might have made sue
cessful Office manager, we'll
known author, Or a famous psy-
chologist, chooses instead to give
the major portion of her time and
interest to raising a family. Is
she failure? That phase of the
question has been so often and

so ably discussed that 1 shall not
try to add to it.
However, in the statements
that men have head start for
success in the necessity to pro-
vide for a family, and that wom-
en- are at disadvantage because
today "there are so few things
they have got to do" there is
food for thought, and, perhaps,
for discussion, by our readers.
While it is undoubtedly true
that the success of many men has
grown out of their necessity to
earn a living, there are countless
thousands to whom that necessity
has been the obstacle between
them and success. There, again,
it is the question Of what is meant
by success. 1t seems to me that
acquiring wealth is only one kind
of success, and it is success only
to the man who started out with
that as an object. And l have
known personally men whose con-
notation of success was making
worthwhile contribution in certain
of the arts or sciences, men with
ability and talen for the work of
their dreams, who failed because
of the necessity for the daily
grind in a gainful occupation.
AS to there being $50 few
things that women have got to
do - isn't the emancipation of
women from complete absorption
in domestic or other duties their
great opportunity for growth? In
Europe, the American woman is
regarded as VIGOROUSLY her hus-
bands superior in matters of
mental growth and cultural at
tainment. The reason is obvious,
of course, in his preoccupation
with breadwinning which sets her
free for the higher aims of self
improvement and cultural an d
civic betterment for her COM
munity. Isn't that one kind of
success?

CHAPTER TX

Before she sat down in the witness
chair, Agues stood for a moment, fac
ing the courtroom. She had been sworn,
facing the judge, who was beside her
now, at her right and little behind
her.
The jury, twelve men In two rows,
were at her left. A court reporter.
with pencil and his book open, was
almost at her feet to her right.
Directly in front of her stood Martin
O'Mara; and over his left shoulder she
saw Myrtle Lorrie seated at q table.
Agnes would hardly have known
Myrtle. had not the newspaper pic
lures of recent days prepared her for
her present appearance. Myrtle was
in black, with not even a touch Of
color. except piping of white In the
neck Of her dress and on the sleeves.
Black became her and made her look
even younger and slighter than she
was; and 1t made her skin whittier. She
had on no rouge at all, and little or no
lipstick. She looked not In the least
like a killer.
Mr.. Nordell was few feet from her,
seated at another table with two
younger men with books and papers.
That was the table of "the State" Be
yond were benches row after row,
where people sat and leaned forward.
You could feel-Agnes felt-the clash
Of the conflict which swayed them.

too near noon, I'll put on my first wit
nesses at once: figure I'll ask you to
go on in the afternoon. Say, two
o'clock"
'Yes," said Agnes. "Tn be there"
"Will you?"
"Of course I will"
What had happened to her distress
and disturbance? He was lighting; he
had been fighting all day, and was
spent, but with the fight still in him.
She could feel it in his voice; and she
aligned herself again with him.
Flows the trial going-really?"
"Really?" repeated Cathal.
II mean with you. You know how
many of those things are true; the pa
pers don't-do they?"
'No," said Cathal; "but some of the
things are true enough. But they've
got nothing to do with whether she did
murder. That's ALL"
Agnes hung up, but sat by the tele-
phone without stirring. She was warm
and excited and satisfied, as she had
not been all day.
It was eleven, next morning, when
she left the house with her mother and
Bee. They avoided the train. Simmons
drove them, in the big car. to the city.
where they picked up Jeb. Then they
stopped at quiet little restaurant
where they could be alone, and where
Jeb had had luncheon ordered in ad-
vance.
The MONDAY was very hot. The heat,
indeed, supplied the third topic to the
people of the city; the others were the
further advance in stocks. and the trial.
Today it seemed almost more the
trial of Agnes Gleneith than of Myrtle
Lorrie. Today Agnes's pictures and
her name exceeded Myrtle's in size and
display. Agnes had ceased to care
what they said even about herself.
She sat at the restaurant table be-

Nordell outlined to the IL men at last
selected-and the newspaper repeated
to all who read-the case against Myr-
tie Lorrie. It was bad for her; very
bad, as witness after witness built 1t
up. 1t was much worse than Agnes
had expected.
Agnes read 1t at home. For the
state had decided not to call her; and
Martin O'Mara told her that he could
give her at least two hours warning
before he would put her on the witness
stand.
She felt shaky and half sick again.
These were matters about Myrtle Lor-
RE which Martin O'Mara might not
have known about his client. Yet now
he had heard them; and he continued
to defend her. Indeed, it was plain
he was fighting for her only more
holly.
The newspaper writer's spoke espe-
cially of how he fought. When Mr..
Nordell put question that might have
damaging answer, the defense attor-
ucy ledpeu 10 his IeeC.
II object, Your Honor! 1 object"
"Overruled," said the judge, and told
Mr.. Nordell to proceed with the wit
ness.
Exception d. 1 take an exception!
.. 3. Exception" O'Mara struck back
at the judge again and again.
Agnes could not completely under
stand it; but she could feel the fight
in it.
Jeb brought with him, that night, the
late editions which carried the report
Of the afternoon session of the trial.
1t was worse for Myrtle-and for Ag-
nes-than the mornings disclosures.
Some of it, Jeb read to her; some he
left to her to read to herself.
"Now, Glen, what are you going to
do?"
I'm going on, Jeb. I have to
haven't II"
'Not as defense witness"
II have to-if he calls me-"
"He" repeated Jeb. He'll call you;
but you can give him surprise on the
stand"
"How?"
"When he questions you. You see
now-you must see now-how things
were. She was embarrassing her hus-
band for her Bert. Wasn't she?"
Cathal telephoned to Agnes at nine
that night.

will rest tomorrow morning. If it's not

WPA EMPLOYES . END THEIR WORK Six Engaged on Tasks in
 Town Clerks Office Are Given Word

Six WpA employees who have been working for several months under the general supervision of Miss Dora EgaIa, town clerk, on an index of land records for the city received notice this morning that the funds allotted for the project had run out and work would cease this noon Miss Egan received no such notice from the WPA oflce.
 N Not Surprising
 Z < It vas pointed out this morning, ai0WeTeE, that this closing Of tho local project did not cofiieTaS Q com p1ete surprise to those who were employed. With the terriination ct each work period for the past few months, those employed never knew whether the project would be re- surned for the next work period. This morning each of the six work CTS received notice that funds had been exhausted. fls ";
 Work They Did
 The workers had been indexing names and compiling list of all local land owners, work which in- volved complete checking of the property records for the city.
 Inasmuch as no mention was made as to what the WPA employees would do in the future in this mornings notices, 1t is expected that those who are listed as relief em- ployes will report to the department of welfare office or try to effect a transfer to some other WPA project.
