The comparatively good woman lives a
harmless life, avoids wounding any one,
and submits to all manner of Injustice at
the hand of society because she dislikes
to make a fuss or attract attention or
disturb existing orders.
The poHltlvely gjod woman lives an
actively good life, under the Bame condi
tions, putting herself to great trouble to
help others and trying to overcome the
results of injustice without essaying to
remove the cause.
The superlatively good woman does all
thle and more. Sho attends to the near

stows sympathy: but she Is bravo enough
to attempt an attack on established tra

the progress of the human race, even

The good woman knows tiow .i fnrh

found In homes of poverty god w men,
who rejoice in the suwess and happiness
of others while fated to llvn lifo of
hard work and loneliness from the cradle
to the grave. In shops, fiutorli'8 and
kitchens, there arc good women doing dis
tasteful work patiently, and cheerfully
using their earnli gs for others dependent
upon hem.
There are Rood women w)io stand by
bad husbands, because they believe it
their duty and because they hope fur
ultimate reformation.
There are good women who leave bail
husbands because they realize that self
respect, or the salvation of their children
demand it.
Any woman who lives up to her highest
understanding of duty Is a good woman,
no matter how others may differ in their
Ideas of what constitutes duty.
The girl who gives up her ambition for
an education in order to remain at home
and care for aging parents Is a good girl,
but another may prove a better girl who
pushes ahead and secures her education
in order that she can give her parents
a more desirable homo eventually.

no discrimination of sex. To live off the
lubor of another giving no exchange

In that constitutes parasitism, and applies
to the rich as well as the poor, to the
woman as -well ss the man.
There aprenra to bo a concerted effort
on the, part of ultra-fcminlHt.s of today
to mKM both I lie unmarried girl and the
married wife feel that to bo dependent
for support upon father or husband Is to
play the part of a parasite. Their pres
ent position In the homo Is assailed as
being unworthy of the enlightened, "new
wonian. Specious arguments are used to
convince them that failure to do product
ive work In the eeonomlo world, similar
to that dona by father and husband, Is to
fall to be self-supporting, which failure
places woman in tho position ot a social
parasite.
The modern wife, therefore. Is exhorted
to go with her hiwiband Into productive
work, leas ing her heme, if -need be, to do
this, and her children, If need be, to the
care of professional mothers, who, she
is told, are better fitted to care for them
than sho is.

expenses. Including the care of the chll

sonal needs.
They plead that the wife, realising the
dignity that comes to the wags earner,
will then command from her husband
that respect which is accorded an econo
mic equal, and which she falls to receive
under present conditions,
They urge that( in this way woman, by
a single step, might leave the ranks of
tho parasitic class and become for the
first time a self-supporting human being.
It Is beginning to be very clear to tho
thoughtful mind that the wife and mother
should cease Jo bo regarded ss a pen
sioner upon the bounty of her husband,
or as a child unable to earn her right to
live. That the remedy for such condi
tions can only bo found by the destruc
tion of the family as an economic unit la
not so clear. Many are seeing that a
deeper solution than tho one indicated
must be found.
If it Is the Umlly, and not the Indi
vidual, that Is the true Boclal unit, then
In matters eeonomlo there must be found
a solution making for mutual Interde
pendence rather than of Independence
beforo the question will bo satisfactorily
answered.
If as we are told, "the man Is not with
out the woman or the woman without
the man," In dealings spiritual and
moral, then the same rule must hold
good In the material and economic rela

Because woman is the home In a very
literal sense, the supreme place for her
highest self-expression must always be
in. the home. And this, too, whether It
be the individual home where as mother,
she tends and guides her little brood, or

CHAPTER II (Continued )
"Wc have only a minute to stay." began
Iris, starting to talk as they went Into
the Horary. "I heard from Junle," Iris
rattled on. Father Moore, In the parlor,
came straight over.
She missed her purse." glibly went on
IrlM, while Hubble eyed her with adrog
ation. "She's afraid she lost it. Did she
leave it here?"
"Kight on that table." And Mrs.
Moore's eyes sparkled. She took It from
a drawer in a desk.
''That girl ulways was careless about
money, laughed sir. Moore as II it were
a virtue.
Hobble glanced at Iris. Bhe was as
tterene as a plate of Ice cream.
"I'll send It to her," offered Iris, and
Mrs. Moore smilingly put It In her hand.
"Why didn't June wire us?" puzzled
father, his fists bulging in the pockets of
his gay smoking jacket.
"Yes, why didn't she" Mother's voice
was full of snxiety, but as she saw the
unruffled expression of Iris Blethering'
face she began to bridle. If Junle could
wire her friend, why couldn't she wire
her mother?
' "You have such slow delivery out here,"
promptly explained Iris.
"Just what did shs y?"
"Phone mother I can't find my furse.
Did I forget it? Extremely hsppy. Bushels
of love to all. June."
Twenty minutes were all the' callers
could bpare. They drove down the boule
vard. A taxlcab flashed by them, but
did not notice it. Ned Warner was
in the taxi, and he was out and up on
the porch before the machine had conic
to a full stop. John Moore answered the
bell, and he Stood as 'f petrified 'When he
say hi son-in-law's expression.
Have you heard from June?" husked
Ned.
Isn't she with you?" The voice of
Moore was strained and tense.
Mrs. Moore came hurrying out, her
face ashen.
'Junle!" she cried. She ran down to
the taxi and peered in through the open
window, the came r'Junlng back and
caught Ned by the arm. "Where Is my
girl?"
"Then she Isn't here?" grasped Nod.
"Come inside." John Moore's voice had
lost all its color. He led tho w-iy Into
the library. "Now, wht Is all this about?
Why are you hero alone?"
"I don't know. Juno Is somewhere In
New Yosk. I was in hoped you haj heard
from her."
"We did! She telegraphed to Ills that
she had lost heie purse. Iris l"ft here
with it to mall It to Jrnc."
."Tbcsj that's wbero the is'." Tli'-re was
relief In Ned voice.
"Fit down." said Moore. "Why are you
not with her?"
"I don't know." There was a choke In
Ned's voice. "She left men on the train
slipped away at Farnvllle."
"rhe wouldn't do such a thing without
good cause!" declared Mrs. Mooie with
firm conviction.
"What happened?" This sharply from
Moore.
"I don't understand, bhe tola lus she
lost her purse. I gave her some money,
and shs went to sleep with' her bead on
my shoulder. I pillowed her more com
fortably on the seat by and by and went
Into the smoker. I dropped In to look at
her about every five minutes, und when I
came bick after we had left Faruvtilc
she ww. gone. KWe left Hie money on thy
seat. Here It Is." And he showed tlieni
the three crumpled bills, one partly torn.
"Huw do you Know th- rctium d io Ntw

"I saw her. 1 got oft at tho next illa
tion and telephoned.' Tho station master
at Farnvllle reported that he uaw her
getting on a down train. I took an ex
press and overhauled her as we came
Into the Grand Central stat'on. I saw her
leave tho tttutlon and get into a taxi."
"You are holding something back!"
Moore charged. "I want to know the
truth!"
"You huvu all I can tell' you," declared
Ned. H would not tell them about llio
black Vandyked man, and June was Mrs.
Warner now.
"Will you get your wiaps, please, Char
lotte?" Juno's father finally said, und
rose. "Wo are going to Irta. I'll order
tlie car."
They were grim and silent aa they sped
away.
While they rode tho black Vandyked
man, in (Sherry's, sat at the end of a long
table between a joviul host with a gray
mustache and a ponderous man with
heavily l'dded eyes and short hair.
There were a doaen plui ed at the tabic,
and winn hissed iit every plate, but tho.
others of tho party, which Included u,
half dozen vivacious and gayly gowned
young women, wero dunclng. The threw
men talked In low topes, their heads bent
together, and the black Vandyked man
was the most silent. Finally ho began to
talk and grow enthusiastic, and presently
he diew fortu June's little gold watch.
Then he flsshed opeu tho lid. All three
men bent eagerly over It. They gazed
upon the lovely features of the runawiy
bride, their faces bent close together.
Tiiey (.lapped tho black Vandyked mun
on tho. shoulder. i
It was during this time that Jun
Warner, slttlim quietly In a corner of the
library with Bobblu and Iris and with
her mother's purat still In her hund, heard
a familiar voice in the vestibule.

In a flush and went upstairs to her
