One could tell that the door was opened only twice a week so that the big mahogany chairs under their ghost like covers could be polished and covered up once more. There was a photo on the wall, a picture of a boy fof six.

I was glad to leave the withered little woman who rais- ed the shade so reluctantly. The second one was as different as could be, no drawn blinds here! The smiling housewife plilled a chubby grandson off from under the' table 'just like the father ~of him, into everything' she remarked. The wall {paper bleached white in places told of prolonged sunbaths, the whole room radiated home, sunshine, and happiness, yet there wasn't a piece of furniture in the room that was not shabby with wear. There is that tell-tale bare spot on the back of the Morris chair, oné might think that it was worn by a very restless head. But no head is responsible for that bare spot! It came there through con- tact with many pairs of small breech- es! You see that picture on the pi- Two Parlors. man in yniform? He welpyikto busin at"the age of ten, and that chair was his switch-back railway! His pals had to pay in gum or candies every time he allow- ed them to slide down. 1 think I can hear him yelling yet: "This way for the switch-back railway. Pay Here," He is out in France now saying "pay here" as the turns his quick firer en the boche. Oh that? That's little Jonnie grown up. He's a judge of the Su- preme Court now, and has two fine boys and a baby girl. They say he's a fine judge but he didn't show much judgment the day he carved his in- itials on the piano! That's why the cover has to be put on like that-- to hide the letters. We've always meant to have them polished out, 'but they've been there so long now-- and Jonnie always looks for them when he comes home. That worn place round the piano stool? Well, ne wonder it's worn, all the young people in the neighbor- hood found this a happy hunting ground for trying out new songs or singing old ones until they were hoarse. I thought of the other '"'parlor'- the dark, polished, perfectly pre- served room with its drawn blinds And 1 remembered an ugly rumor that the boy whose picture was on the wall had grown up to be a heart- ache and a disgrace. I can't help ano, the young furniture covers had a lot to dg with that. J may be wrong, but it seems to me that things would have heen different if there had 'been a worn place around the piano stool in that room, a faded place on the wall-pa- per and perhaps an odd initial on the mahogany furniture. | THE ACTIVITIES OF WOMEN Former Empress past 92 years old, The railways of Japan are largely operated by women.

Scranton, Johnson sister THE Ruth Madden and Brian Hackett had fallen in love with each. other at their first meeting. Brian could give her a comfortable home, so they were married. He could not afford luxuries, and had told her so, and Ruth believed that she would be satisfied without them. But the girl had been brought up by a wealthy aunt, in whose stately colonial house she had exercised her strong talents for interior decoration, and she soon discovered that Tuxurious surround- ings had become necessary to her happiness. Drawn by this taste for beautiful things, she finds a place to hwwork among lovely imported stuffs --hecause she loves the feel of soft silks and satins--because it makes her happy just to be where they are. Brian is jealous and resents her working. She refuses to bear children, as that would keep her at home in the little apartment which, with all her taste, she cannot make anything but cheap. A man in the shop In which she is employed sees her passion for beauty as expressed in her desire for luxur- fous surroundings, and her wish for works upon that pas- sonate love of the beautiful, to lead her away from her husband. He is very wealthy, and, more than fhat, to her is a connoisseur in his busi- ness. But Ruth looks upon all that he does as ne only in the line pf business; although occasionally won- dering why he should be so kind to her, Brian, jealous, lonely, discouraged because he cannot make more money, ous way, he beautiful clothes.

Often they do not see each other save at meals. At other times, she is sent away on long trips---once to the Orient, to pur- chase the stuffs she so loves to han- dle, and to sell. Brian hecomes couraged. He makes the acquaintance of a young woman, a writer who has not yet succeeded, to any extent, but who is full of faith in herself, and enthu siasm for her work, She senses his disappointment before he ever men- tions his wife to her, and tries, in a way, to make up to him for his lone- ly life. She is good, self-reliant, and a "bully 'comrade for a man," as he says when talking to her. So Brian and Ruth pull apart not quarreling, often, in spite of his jealousy, but each sick at heart---she, because she finally comes to the point where she is not certain whether she loves her husba or her em- ployer; he, because he is denied wo- man's oity home, children, all that, to his mind, means happiness. Then comes the war with all its upheaval. Brian, fired with love of country, enlists among the first. Not until he has gone "Over There," does Ruth realize that she never has ceased to love him. Now her prob- lem is to show him this--to win him back. Money, beauty, luxury, mean nothing compared to this need. And she accomplishes it, after trials apd vicissitudes that would discourage most women, and makes an ally of the man who would bave taken her from her husband. wanting disheartened, dis- First chaper of this absorbing story will appear on Monday, August 10th.
