But, so long as that displeasure took ino other form than cutting her off from spending money; Ruth did not worry about it For, one who has always spent money recklessly Knows nothing of its value. 'Mrs. Clayborne had allowed Ruth her own way in regard to their wed- | ding... It was no part of her plan to aleniate her niece. So Ruth wis to be married in the little church she had attended ever since she came to "The Terrace." 1e same old white- haired minister who had patted her on the head, then, and said he hoped she would help her aunt forget ner sorrow because of the death of her hushand, was to marry her to Brian. There were to be no engraved invi- tations. Ruth herself had gone' from house to house and invited the few whom she wished to come to the church, and to the wedding break- fast afterward There were only a few dozen young people, and some old friends "of Mrs. Clayborne's-- perhaps twenty in all. Ruth laugh- ed when she overheard one of the servants say: "Dat Miss Hopkins' Eliza said dat Miss Ruth warn't havin' no kind of weddin' at all. 8he said she warn't invitin" nobobdy and that she was marryin" a pore man." She was marryin a poor man, per- haps, but he wouldn't be poor very long! He had told her he wouldn't, And he couldn't be so very poor; he and his uncle was a lsuth jdressed nicely, prominent man in the town. was clever, in many ways, but in others she was as ignorant as, when a child of ten, she had come to live with her wealthy aunt.

(Twelve o'clock' was the hour for the wedding.) The Dear Old House. "I'm saying goodbye to the rooms, Rachel. I'm going a long way and may not get back to visit for some time." "It ain't dem rooms what is gwo's} to miss vo, honey; it am old Rachel and Missy Claiborn, and all the rest of we uns." "1 know, be with me. married when younger than I but yo will soon Aunt Laura got she was + young- am: I am almost twenty-one. She was only eighteen, and she was happy, too," she added, a wistful tone in her voice, "she told me she was--that she was always happy until Uncle Clark died. If I ever have a boy, Rachel. I shall name him 'Clark.' It would please her so much. I haven't told her, but I made up my mind, years azo, that I would." "Yo sho'ly is quare, missy Ruth-- talkin' about namin' a baby," and old Rachel laughed and cried tageth- er as Ruth went into her aunt's room to talk, a few moments, before she put on the shimmering satin dress spread out upon the dainty lace cov- ered bed. Mrs. Clayborn was sitting quietly by the window, the morning paper still unfolded in her lap. Her thoughts were sad, and she did not hear Ruth enter the room. "Guess who it 8?" Ruth said gay- ly, putting her hands over Mrs. Clay- borne's eyes, then leaning over to kiss her before she took a chair be- side her. "Ruth, dear, you haven't time. It is eleven o'clock." Rachel, And much After breakfast she went upstairs and quietly went over the entire bouse, not missing a room. | "1 know, but I wanted to talk a little. I shall be ready in time.

And now that I know you love me just the same as ever, | must ran away. A bride must not be late to her own wedding, must she?" Rath' threw her arms around her aunt and kissed her fondly. 'This is our REAL good-bye. The other will be before pepple," For. a few moments longer Mrs. Clayborne sat quietly by the window. The paper had slipped to the floor unnoticed. * Several times she. wiped the tears from her eyes and whisg- pered: "I shall be so lonely." 'Then, she celled her maid, and carefully made herself attractive for the weddiug of the child she was to lose When she joined Ruth for the ride to the church, she was the same calm, dignified woman she always had been. While Ruth, her cheeks flushed, her eyes shining, talking and laughed and cried a little, all the way. To be Continued. Changed CHAPTER CL. What a welcome we received! Both Mr. apd Mrs. Babcock met us at the train, although it arrived at a very early. hour. "You have grown handsomer than ever," Mr. Babcock said, as he kiss- ed me---after asking George's per- mission. 'Hasn't she mother?" he turned to his wife. "Yes, I think she has," she re- turned her head on one side as she inspected me, her eves twinkling. "It must be the babies." "It is," I replied, then launched into a description of them. George had heen cross with me for fretting over them, and 1 laughingly told her so. "1 know dear," she said laying her hand over mine, "but you have such wonderful help, and you really must learn to leave them occasionaly both for your own and your husband's sake. - It isn't fair to either for you to give up everything to them." 1 was glad George was beside Mr, Babcock who was driving the car; 80 he couldn't hear us. "But I never have left them, and am so afraid they will get sick or that something will happen: "Your husband loves them?" she asked, making me look at her in as- tonishment. The question was 80 unexpected, "Of course! he almost worships them, all three." "Then try to forget to worry, and let him enjoy his trip as much as is possible when business is his reason for coming. Believe me we women sometimes make a mistake when we neglect our husbands for our chil-| dren--no matter how much we love them." The Stame Story. "Everyone tells me the same story," 1 laughed just as we reached IN CHICAGO "It is true," she answered soberly. We had a most delightful time. They entertained for us, giving a dinner and musicale, and Mrs. Bab- cock also gave a luncheon. She ask- ed Julia Collins, ds I persisted in call- ing her, and we really had a good time talking things over together. I never would have believed we could be so comfortable together. She told me of her new home, and Mrs. Babcock and I accepted an invitation for tea the following afternoon. Her husband was on the coast, a business trip, she explained. But she told me ghe was ideally happy. "I suppose it sounds foolish to you, but I think no one ever was any happier than Tom and 1." *"That is because you do not curb his freedoth; or require him to lose his individuality," Mrs. Babcock re- turned. 1 at once thought of the night up in Maine when George had said nearly the same thing. That one could not destroy another's in- dividuality and be happy." "Oh, I never. would do that!" Julia laughed. "He might retaliate and that never would do!" That night we went to hear Pader- weski play. I never had heard him, and was overjoyed at the opportun- ity. But when after the concert Mr. Babeock presented him I sald to Mrs. { Babcock: "It was worth leaving the babies for." How she laughed. "1 imagine you are a sort of hero worshipper, aren't you?" "Perhaps," I replied, thinking of Merton Gray ang how at first, and even yet, he had seemed so awfully attractive to me. At Last Perfect Content, We remaified three days. We had a doliehtint time, but most of all I enjoyed the long heart to heart talks the house. -- I had with Mrs, Babcock. 1 told con EE ------ TALKING IT OVER ~----With Lorna Moon * ---- 1 really hadn't taken much notice of him; he doesn't signal for notice: to be taken: everything about him' is quiet, his voice, his clothes and his eves. 1 mistook all this quiet for in- ueiance.

But now there is no one I know who has more poise, more real kindness of heart; who is: a more perfect hostess, or makes her home the restful place she does.
