"I'll not give you a cent if you {marry him," Ruth's wealthy aunt had i said, 'Not that I have anything par- ticular against Brian, but you'll | neither of you be happy. He is a¢- | customed to economizing, to. going without things----ydu know he worked his way through college---while you are accustomed to a very different | sort of a life.

No, Ruth, if you marry him before he has sue- ceeded in making something more than a lawyer's clerk of himself, you need expect no help from me!" When her aunt pressed her lips together as they were after she had delivered the foregoing speech, Ruth knew there | was nothing to do but to accept as final whatever she has decided. But ~-futh was young, and youth is hopeful, "I can give you a fairly comfor- table home, Ruth, though of course { nothing like the one you have with your aunt. But I'll soon make more money, and then we wili show her that I can take care of you as well as she can." Brain had said to the girl he loved. Ruth was in love, so had faith that Brian knew what he was talking about and had promised to marry him in spite of her aunt's objections. | i | First Love, Ruth Madden was an orphan. Her individuais or corperations. | LIFE'S THRESHOLD widowed aunt, Mrs. Clayborne, had taken her into her home when Ruth was only ten years old, and had cared for and indulged her ever since. Rush was now twenty, The small southern town in which Mrs. Clayborne always had lived, was the home of a relative of Brian's, He had visited them, and Ruth bad fall- en in love with his handsome face, his strong physique, his manners. Then, too, his impetuous wooing, had taken her "off her feet," as her aunt expressed it. When he returned home---to a mid-western city--he wrote such long, loving, eloquent let- ters that 'Ruth, in her inexperience, saw everything in the future as he pictured it. When her aunt gave voice to her doubts of Brian's ability to care for her niece, Ruth would produce one of his letters and read it aloud. No one could fail to be con- vinced after listening to what he had written---so she thought. But Laura Clayborne was made of sterner stuff. She saw only the silly visionings of a young man in 'ove, and the foolish trust of an inexperi- enced girl whose life had been one of ease and luxury in as far as creature comforts were concerned. Since her husband's death, the year Ruth lost both her parents ard came to her aunt's home to live, Laura Clayborne had not left the small town ja which she lived, save once when she was obliged to go to New York on business connected with the set- tling of her husband's estate, Ruth never had been away. Her aunt did not believe in boarding schools, and neither could she bring herself to part with Ruth. So tutors had been engaged, and Ruth's educa- tion had gone on right at home, FW Artistic Inclinations. From a child, Ruth had evinced a passionate love of the beautiful--in nature, in surroundings, in clothes and her taste was sought by her aunt when making any changes in the old colonial house or its furnishings, The house still remained much as it always had been, a wide verandah on one side, and a sleeping porch, be- ing about the only changes. But the interior had been altered, redecorated and refurnished, until now it was one of the most luxurious homes in town. Mrs. Clayborne had given Ruth a free hand in the renovation of part of the house, and these rooms were exquisite, Ruth had studied the works of the best decorators, and bad been wise enough to take from them only what was adapted to the old style architecture; these ideas she had combined with her own, and the result had been really a most artis- tic and luxurious home for herself and her aunt, She loved this work. She loved to handle the rich stuffs of which the draperies were fashioned--the tapes- tries, the silks and laces which she wes allowed to order. Har own rooms, a tiny sitting room, bedroom snd bath, were done in palest i1ofe color. Tre rugs had great sprawling branches of wild roses woven in them; the draperies were of rose- colored silk and lace, with the bed covers to match, The furniture was of dainty shapes, the desk of rose- wood, the bric-a-brac all appropriate to the rooms of a young girl, yet not one piece too many---as would have been the case with many girls who were allowed to have whatever they wanted. The other rooms, too, were all beautifully and appropriately fur- nished. But in both her own and her aunt's private apartments, she had allowed her ideas of beauty of color and material full sway, To-morrow---Sanguine Youth.

The days passed so quickly that when mother, on the day baby was a month old, told me that she must go home, 1 could scarcely realize she had been with me so long, 'We had named our boy "Kenneth Milner Howard." The "Kenneth" after George's father, and the '"Mil- ner" for my entire family---so my husband said. My brothers were de- lighted, and each wrote me such gay letters, "It would have been ridiculous, had the baby been a girl," Philip said, in his joking way, "with three uncles to teach him all a boy, needs to know." : "I am glad he is a boy," mother said. "George is so pleased, He is planning already wh>ve he shall be educated." [Evelyn came over every day, usu- ally bringing little Helen. We plan- ned what good times we would have with our babies as they grew older. One thing, only, saddened me in con- nection wity my boy; and that was (that Mrs. Sexton never could see him.

I had repeated to mother many things she had told me, and mother quite agreed that she had done a great deal for me.

I think she understood before she died, I love to think she did." *1 am sure she did," mother re- plied, "and, dear, I want you to re- member all she told you rightly. She knew so well just what you would need, in this large town life that I know nothing about. Then, too, I know from what you have told me that she was a good woman. Many people have the idea that society wo- men are frivolous and are mot par- ticularly good, as we use the word. But I know that it is a mistake. There are, there must be, many such women as Mrs, Sexton in society. They have a place to fill in the world, and if they fill their lives with kind- ness and thoughtful acts, their social duties do not make them less spirit- ual than the women who have no such tax upon them.

It had taken me a long time to learn that fact; and I had scarcely become accustomed, even yet, to doing with- out the petting I saw given to Evelyn and to other wives whose husbands were more demonstrative. I don't think undemonstrative peo- ple realize how those who are natu- rally affectionate feel about such things. A kiss, a caress, means so much to them. Whenever I saw Evelyn and Kurts together, I always felt sort of neglected, and, foolish as it may sound, like crying.
