A different type of woman might
have profited by seven years asso-
citation with these aristocratic rela-
tives-in-law, might have gone stead
lily to work at music and languages,
made a study of social usages and
terms. And a different type of fam
lily might have sensed the predica-
ment of the youngest member-Ann
was just II when she married, and
have made it easier for her. Some
sister-in-law, some one of the young
er aunts and cousins might have TAX
en- Ann under her wing, helped her
along the hard path. But evidently
Ann was not capable of absorbing
the culture all about her, of enjoy
ing her adventure, and evidently
the hard-shelled Social Registerites
didn't feel inclined to make any eff
fort in the direction of Herbert's
wife.
So the best thing to do, for the
duration anyway, is to break away,
find work, friends, amusement. And,
if Ann is wise, she will begin to
study seriously on the side, improve
her pronunciation, her choice of
terms, her knowledge of good books
and of what is going on in the world.
Sometimes, if the security of small
children is involved, a woman is
obliged to endure difficult conditions
the indifference of her husband,
the troubles created by his mother
and sisters, the sense of being
pushed aside and made to feel ridic-
ulous or superfluous.
But in AIMS case these elements
don't exist. Through no fault of her
own she is childless, and Temperate
ly husbandless. She has every right
to find for herself happier set of
circumstances. If she can be gen.
erous enough to do this without jeop-
ardlzing the dignity of the family, if
she can manage to maintain
friendly correspondence with her
mother-in-law, and go home for an
occasional visit, she will be sure to
find her own place secure and inn
portant in the circle after the war.

hadn't known which way to 60.
Then he had her by one arm and
was running with her up the gentle
slope. Behind them the camps
noise was like a stirred-up nest Of
jays. But the horses were more
important than anything else to an
Indian, and old Willy must have
done good stampeding job.
Over the low divide he dropped to
a walk and went on that way to
keep from giving his buckskin a
fright. Once he heard it snort
ahead of him in the dark.
They hadn't spoken. In the dark
he could see only the set mask of
her face. 1t was hard to tell what
these hours had done. But she
wouldn't break. Then the buckskin's
vague shape moved and he said
quietly, Easy, boy" The moving
stopped. He put his hands under
her arms and forked her into the
saddle. When he lifted the reins
the pony jumped. He brought its
head all the way around, grabbed
the horn and swung up behind the
cantle. Then he let the little ami
NAL go.
After the canyons first straight
dip for mile or so there was moth
ing in the absolute dark to let
him find the route himself back
through the maze of forks. Yet he
had confidence in the pony.
Lew pressed his arms together.
"All right, Joy?"
Her answer was faint. "I'm all
right"
He did not ask again; but travel
ing on for better than an hour, he
could feel the sag of her body, a
heaviness leaning back against him

that that one thing was what could

wracking tremor ran through her
body. That was all, as if all the
horror of these hours had been re-
leased from her then. She turned a
little and lay with a heavier weight

Those few hours, until dawn let

apart. He knew it for what it was.
Fear and relief and their being alone

her strict codes, he understood how
little change there could be. She
had already given her promise to
another man. And yet this knowl-
edge of how strongly she loved him
was like new force in himself.

Industrial Accidents

In one aircraft plant the accident
rate for II months of 1913 was
almost identical, Ssh per 1000 men
and $50 per 1000 women. When in
creases in accidents to women are
reported they are generally found
to be due to increases in the en-
ployment of inexperienced workers,
to improper guarding of machines
or to lack of safety education. 1t is
also true that many such increases
in accident frequency rates result
from production speed-ups.

Unhappy Wife Should Leave.
That's the letter, and in answer 1
say that there are circumstances
when the only cure for daily, hourly
miseries of jealousy and suffering
is to get out. Such a case is that of
the office clerk who is brought into
constant contact with the married
employer with whom she is in love,
or the mother who cannot stand by
and see an adored ignorant idle eX-
travagant new wife make her son
miserable.
Ann has an excellent argument in
that Herbert is calmly leaving her
to join the armed forces. He is
justified; he probably did not even
consult her about the step. A war
is on, and men are needed
But women are needed, too, and
Ann is equally justified in going off
to find work of her own. Hard work;
work that will bring her into contact
with women working as hard as she.
The WACs, perhaps, or the WAVES.
Or let her get right on the assembly
line in one of the thousands of new
factories, foundries or machine
shops.
With her changed clothes, environ
ment, contacts, friendships she will
find herself again. Her deadened
personality will develop, self-confi-
dence and good simple common
sense will return. She may be the
humblest worker of all our 80, 900, 900
working women; the annals of vic
tory may never hear of her, but she
will play her part, just as the tiniest
cog and pin and screw of great
battleship plays its part, and success
couldn't be achieved without her.
