Iwlped her Into the car and tucked the ruin about her. "Now, John, drive out the road," ho directed, aa they atarted off. Halea leaned hack In the wide leathered eat with a slah of contentment Oh, It waa good to ho out! To get away from the chilled lonallnees of her apartment Into tha warm eprtnf aunahlna. They were eoon apeedlnaT through the park and than out to tha - road. Everywhere' were elena of aprlnc Bare headed children, barking dogs and far ther out In the country the amell of earth and growing things. Helen breathed It all In hungrily, tt had been ao long since aha had been out In tha real country, and now resolutely sha put from her all anxloua worrying thoughts and gave herself up to the Joy of the ride, A chicken scampered across tha road In front of then or a dog ran out bark ing at the car. Hers and there a horse, bearing the scars of week-day har ness, waa taking Its well earned Sunday rest In field or barnyard. Grazing eows looked up with mild Inquiry as they flew past. . A country church with a few people lingering around tha door probably tha close of some afternoon service. Then a cemetery with fresh cut rowers on several mounds, and a young couple Planting a -roiia bush on a tiny grave. Then came a small village with Its closed shops and sleepy Sunday streets. Slow up here. John," called out Mr. Stevens. 'There's a railroad . crossing )ust ahead." The bare were down and the flagman stood there waving his red flag aa a freight train puffed slowly by. Ths sunlight fell on the glistening coal with which the cars wars loaded and lit up the grimy faces of the brakemen. And when the last car had rumbled by, the steel tracks shone In a long, glittering line around tha curve. Helen gased at them dreanringl)". The sun shining on ths steel rails recalled some vagus Im pression of childhood. And lust now there waa a faint odor of burning leaves that, too, seemed part of the picture. But the bars were raised and they crossed tha track and on down the road before she could place her memory. On and on they sped, tha soft air blowing back their veils and bringing them varied odors of woods and fields and fresh plowed ground. ' It was after ( o'clock when they stopped at a little road house for dinner, and It was quite duck before they started back. But tha ride back through the dark was to Helm as full of charm as It had beea through the bright sunlight of the after noon. It was growing cooler and Mr. Stevens wrapped the ruga about her more closet Ths night sir of the country has a sweet ness of Its own, and the crickets and tree frogs made a murmurous background. It was almost with regret that Helen saw ths glimmer of distant lights, which meant the approach of the city. It had beea a wonderful drive. She had suc ceeded In putting aside every thought but the pleasure of tha moment. She remembered having once beard someone say: "If only we could learn to take our pleasures In momenta Life gives up many of them not consecutively and not perhaps the way we would like most to have them. And yet, however dreary our lot, we all have momenta enough to make life liveable" If only we would learn to make the most of tnem." And Helen knew that this drive had been one of her moments and she had made the) nsoat of it She thought of the desolate afternoon to which she had looked forward, but which, after all, had net beea desolate. She wondered if she could learn ta get her pleasures from moments like these. Was that toe lessen Ufs was trying to teach herthat aha could not have her happiness in the way ahe wasted It but must learn to accept and be grateful for whatever momenta of pleasure that came her way? ' - It waa Sunday. Tha first warm sun shiny spring Sundsy. But If one la lonely and unhappy the vary radiance of a day Ilka this seems only to add depression. Since Warren had been, away Hslen had dreaded tha Sundays most of alL Each one had seem ed mora dreary and desolate than, the last. And now ahe wandered rest lessly around - tha apartment she won dered how she could get through this dsy. t had been ever a week now since sha had beard from Warren not one word since her let ter about the room er.' She wsa anxi ously waiting for every mail. On Sun' days ana elevator boys alway want to ths postofflca. but today there had been only a. circular for hsr. And these would be no other mall until thorn lug. She had glanced through the Sunday papers, but waa too restless to read. Finally she went In and got out hsr mending basket. Surely It wsa no worse to aew on Sunday than to do anything e lse, and ths time would drag less heavily It she wsa at work. A little petticoat of Winifred's and some stockings were already In the basket. These she mended and then got out her blue serge skirt which needed fresh braid around the bottom. It was ao warm that sha raised the window beside her, and the soft epring air blew In the curtains through which she caught glimpses of the street below. The bright day bad brought out many afternoon strollers. The silk hats and frock coats of the men. tha spring mil linery -of the women, gay with flowers and bright colored straw, the occasional bunch of violets-It . wsa all a part of the atmosphere of A Sunday afternoon In spring. I No one seemed alone they were always In couples or groups of three or four. As Helen looked down at this leisurely well dressed Sunday throng mora than aver she felt her desolation. Just then there passed an athletic look ing man with a slender woman beside him and a little girt in white running on In front There waa something In the carriage of the man that reminded her of Warren, and the women was strangely like herself. And yet what a difference! For even aa they passed Helen saw the man.taks her arm at the street crossing, and his very gesture was one of love and protection, while the woman looked up and laughed happily. It was only a passing picture, but It was so full of Joy and companionship that Helen turned from the window with the old aching lump In her throat ' Shs thought of the look of contentment In tha woman's face and ths pride of possession In tha man's. How long had it been since Warren bad looked like that? What could that woman glvs that sha could not? And why must she be here alone, with the emptiness of a Sun day aernoon and evening before her. whlla other women had the Joy of their husbands' love and companionship T A startling ring from the telephone In the hall. She dropped her sewing and ran eagerly to answer It Any chance caller any Interruption to her brooding tboughacwouM be welcome. "Mrs. Stevens Is calling." announced the boy. . With a hurried "Ask her to come up," Helen ran back to gather up her sewing and put tt away.' "Moping here all alone?" asked Mrs. Stevens, as she kissed her. "t thought so. Now put on your things-we've got the car downstairs. Ve rs going for a long drive and have dinner somewhere In the country." "But Winifred? It's Delia's afternoon off I'va no one to leave her with." "That's all arranged for," triumphantly "I brooch t Jennie along to take care of ber she'll be up In a moment" Jennie was one of Mrs. Steven's maids, a young French girl, devoted to children, who had taken care of Winifred on sev eral occasions. . -e Helen had! no fear of leaving her. Vow hurry, and get ready. Oh. It's wonderful out It look Helen only a few minutes to dress and get into nor wraps, and srhea she had given some final Instructions to Jennie about Winifred, they hurried down to the car. air.

THe Right Road to Health Why the Corset Makes Co ward$f 7;.; of Women, and The Value of Rest. Br ANNETTE KELLERMAXX. 'A Oerman actress In a recent Interview expressed her surprise that so many American women used rouge and other cosmetlea Then aha went on to apeak of the Amer ican woman's wonderful vitality, and ths fact that she began her day earlier thaa ths women of any other country, ao4 seemed never to sleep. This Is exactly the reason why our women use so much make-up. They never rest and It la only rest mental and physical rest which kseps natural roses In ths cheeks and crow's feet from forming under the eyes. I am often thankful that I am not president of hslf a doaen women's clubs, and that I have only my regular stag work and exercises to do each day. Yost may think that la not an easy Ufa WeU It Isn't Into the plunge once, and often twice a day, besides too dancing and con stantly preparing myself for new work. But I can assure you my work Is easy compared with that of some women who hava nothing to do but keep up with their social obllgaUona and their clubs. I msko my work easy because I have learned by hard experience to economise my forces, and that Is what fsw peopls learn until It Is too late. There are two things which make one old gnd tired long before one's time. If there ever is a time for age and wearl neea In ths new dispensation of health. These two things are mental worry aad physical strain. Almost everybody worries about some thing. L'suslly about some small thing, and most people, nsnally women, live under a constant physical strain, due to muscular contraction of some kind. A woman's clothes are largely respons Iblo for this strain. The corset has probably done more to make physical cowards than any other thing since slavery. You cannot be brave If your diai-aragra la sqeeaed In and yon can't get your breath properly. I am aura that physi cal courage at least depends on the bal ance of the nervous system, and that !n time Is largely Influenced by proper or Improper breathing. Tha tight skirt which Is so popalar now, makes women afraid, and fear has aa Immediate effect oa tha nervous system aad contracts the muse lea Women are afraid, especially In the street because they are hampered at every step by their clothes. They haven't complete command of tha use of their limbs, consequently they are timid. Wear your new hobble skirt and tight walsta your bat which comes over your eyea like Minders, and go lata a crowded section of the city.

The Greek waa by nature a disputant walla the .Latin, less in. ollned to mental Insurgency, waa prac tical, and by natural bias a believer In authority and discipline.

Contracts had born adver tised according to tradition. Tha few bids which had coma la were Insanely exorbitant ar utterly art tspuuslble. Ths dilemma was plain either ta give up the canal or to try to dig It without Individ ual Initiative. The canal waa a political necessity. So wa were munched on the hare-brmrn experiment of dotr.g the biggest construc tive job ta history without tha Incentive of profits. And to! It Is succeeding.
