who would love books and paint ings as she did, who would like to take long Sunday afternoon rambles, or sit quietly by an open wood fire and talk.
 Tom laughed at things like that. He wanted action and excitement in his recreation. It was, Come on, Babe. Let's go to a ball game, :" or, Let's take a drive" A drive with Tom meant tearing through the countryside at 60 or 70 miles an hour with the top of his con- vertible down and the wind tear ing at her face and hair.

 , Enid reached over and took the pink dress out of Letty's hands and slipped it over Ann's curly head. "Sit still, you wiggle-worm, :" she admonished until I get this buttoned." She bent and kissed the back of the moist fat little neck.
 Lefty, she reflected, meant well, but she hadn't been much help in solving her problem. And it was a problem that had to be ans wered soon. She and Tom had been going together for two years now, and he was getting impa- tient. He wanted to be married right away. He hadn't any money saved up, but that didn't bother him at all He'd said that they could borrow money and buy their furniture and then pay it back month by month. He expected her to go on working for 8 while, until they got started.
 But, Enid thought, what if some thing happened and she couldn't go on working? What if she had a baby right away as Lefty had had? Tom was salesman for small manufacturing plant. He wasn't making any more money than Phil Fields was as a me chanic in the same shop. Try as she would, Enid couldn't see any future ahead for herself and Tom except one like Letty's and Phil's. Well-maybe, that was as good as she could do.
 She wasn't really pretty. Her

They ate in the kitchen. a noisy hectic meal with the twins bab- bling constantly and little A nr drumming with her spoon wher she didn't immediately get some thing she wanted, and Phil at the end of the table intent on his owr food and the evening paper propped in front of him.
 Enid always came directly from work to Letty's one night a week to have supper with them and sec the children. She was fond of the noisy little scamps. But to- night in her perpleXed mood she found their exuberance distract ing. She helped Lefty cut up food for Eric and little Enid, and fed the gurgling Ann soup and apple sauce, and when at last the chill dren were satisfied she found that her own appetite had fled.
 It was too hot to eat, anyway. She picked up the paper where Phil had left it.
 The front page was filled with the usual news, traffic accidents at home and war bulletins from abroad. Listlessly Enid leafed through the inside pages and paused for a second glance at a mans picture. The face attracted her, long and thin with serious eyes and 8 ridiculous toothbrush mustache on the firm upper lip He looked rather English, Enid thought.
 She glanced below at the cap- tion: 'Dr. Henry Holiday will be one of the speakers on the open ing program of the State Medical Associations 96th annual meeting, which begins Friday at the Neil House. Dr. Holiday recently re- turned from a year of research work at Johns Hopkins Hospital. He is the son of Dr. Henry Holli- day, ST., chief of staff at Wing Memorial Hospital here"
 Enid recognized the last name as that of the city's leading sur geon. She stifled sigh. Life must be fun for people like that. with money, position, an assured place in the world, and exciting work to do.
 wed better get busy, Sis" She laid the paper down and hustled to her feet as Lefty finished eat ing. "That is if you want any help with the dishes"
 "Why-is Tom coming after you?" Lefty ask-d hopefully.
 "No, I'm walking over to my art class at the university from here. He'll pick me up there later." Lefty went to the front door with her when she left s h thought Enid looked especially nice in her crisp tailored linen suit. She'd like to have one like it. But clothes weren't the most import ant things in the world. Her thoughts came back to Enid's prob lem rather than her own as she watched her sister out of sight.
 "She'd better marry Tom Dris- coll while she can get him." she thought. Any kind of a marriage was better than no marriage for a woman. The trouble was, Lefty l reflected shrewdly, Enid had read too many high-falutin' books. Her ideas were too high for poor girl.

 Lefty Fields stopped trying to get the freshly laundered,( pink gingham dress over the head of he squirming baby on her knees, and looked anxiously at her younger sister.
 Are you going to2"
 Enid Sharon kept her eyes on uttle Ann. What an adorable picture she was with her mop of sed-gold curlS, her apple blossom Ikin, and her rosy fat little fists that were beating the air in time 70 some unheard symphony. Sud- aenly she leaned forward, lifted Ihe half dressed baby of her sis .er'S lap and snuggled her against her shoulder. The baby's cheek against hers was softer than the Toftest velvet.
 Longing frightened around Enid's heart. She wanted this, a baby baby of her own to cuddle in her arms, 8 little house to keep bright and shining, a man of her own, and 8 woman's age-old right of helping that man to make a home.
 She was so tired of the office, of the dry routine of typing letters eight hours day, five and a half days a week. She had been in that same office now for six years. And she was on the same job she had started with. There was no chance for promotion for a girl in the complicated set-up of great industrial plant office.
 Enid sighed perplexedly. She wanted to get married. But would Tom Driscoll give her the kind of a marriage she dreamed of, or the kind of marriage-that Lefty had2
 Lefty who was old-looking at 30. Lefty who had three children when Phil's wages were only ade- quate for one. Lefty who was al ways worried about bills and the insecurity of Phil's job. Lefty who was lonelier with her husband than, Enid was as spinster. For Phil only came home at night to take his shoes off and prop his weary feet on the coffee table whil e he read and radioed and dozed.
 Enid was thinking of this when she finally answered Letty's ques- tion. T don't know, Lefty. I don't know whether I'll marry him or not"
 And then Lefty unexpectedly rallied to a defense of marriage. T wish you would, Enid. It isn't any kind of a life for woman to live alone and work in an office all her life. I know how you feel. You're the last one at home and you think it's up to you to stay there and help now that Pop can't work any more. But 1t isn't fair. You're entitled to a life of your own the same as anyone"
 Lefty paused for breath and plunged on. "Go ahead, Enid, and marry Tom. There will be some way for Pop and Nom to manage. They own their home and don't have to pay rent. And it doesn't take much for them to eat. Maybe Tom would be willing to give some every week = and" She paused, torn between warm generosity and an acute consciousness of the iu- adequacy of Phil's salary to meet

skin was creamy and her fine straight hair was a honey blond shade, contrasting nicely with her brown eyes. But her face lacked animation, it was too quiet. And she was shy, She'd never had any boy friend except Tom. She'd met him at Letty's house. In fact it was Lefty who'd engineered their first meeting and steered them into their first dates. And now it was Lefty who was urging her to marry him.
 Lefty was still talking. You're "A, Enid. You'll soon be an old maid. If you're going to marry and have children you ought to have them before you're 30. It's easier on you when you're young"
 Enid laughed her surprisingly appealing little chuckle. Wait - Lefty. I'm not even married to the boy, yet, and you have me W1Cn 8 1dLu1ly.

 Enid supposed Lefty meant by that that he didn't drink, or smoke to excess, or gamble, and that he'd probably never run after other women. He was good-look- ing, too, husky, with fresh clear skin and full of spirit and liking for fun.
 Maybe she was romantic little fool, but she had always dreamed of a man who would be very gentle and kind. A man whose eyes would show his adoration when he looked at her. A man

Hopes Of amendment OF the recipro-
cal trade act to increase protection
for western cattlemen were advanced
by F. E. Mollln. secretary Of the Ameri-
can National Livestock association. at
the organizations convention In Salt
Lake City.
In his annual address to nearly 1000
delegates, gathered In the organiZa-
tion's 45th annual convention, he as
serted that congress Is waking up 70
what is happening"
He added therefore it may be pos
sible to amend the law so as to re-
quire congressional or senate approval
(of reciprocal trade pactS) when the
present act expires In 1913"
Earlier he had declared It was futile
to oppose reciprocal trade agreements
on canned meat and hides in the face
of determined efforts by the govern
ment to increase them"
President J. Elmer Brock Of Kaycee
Wyo.. told the convention that an ex-
tensive tour Of South America and
Brazil convinced him there was no
legitimate basis for q reduction OF
tariffs on Argentine and Brazilian
meat
Brock opened his address by declar-
ing. Our industry, in addition to q
pledge Of unqualified loyalty to our
country, can and will furnish 1t with
good wholesome beef, ample to supply
our domestic needs. with a large sur
plus for our allies"

Of the Carnegie Foundation for In

attack on the reciprocal treaties. par
ticularly as they affect the livestock
industry, Brock charged:
/. That Argentina has no disposal

ply the European demand for beef
and still meet domestic needs.
2. That Argentine canned beef is
vastly inferior to the American prod
uct and is processed by labor paid
IA TO q cents an hour
3. That the treaties only economic
benefits go to a small, owner class
OF about 1900 Argentine stockmen and
are not distributed to the Argentine
people.
4 That all South American cattle
are infected with foot and mouth dis

can be erected against it. Brock also
