' The widow appreciated also, that in the country, where there are fewer modern' conveniences than in town, one i "must humor" a' maid if one 'would' keep hen Indeed, , Mary's discontent at certain conditions was evi dent and added to Mrs. 'Minor's general ense of discomfort. She tried to ap preciate that the domestic, like herself, was tired and depressed, and she forbore to answer sharply when Mary called her attention to the fact that to get Into the cellar wher, -the cdal was stored one must go out ;of the JioUse and down an outside staircase to the lower .depths. "And the cellar door's hard to lift." remarked the girl, "and the coal will be heavy to carry . upstairs." "I know it," said JBeatrice regretfully, "but it won't-be t or ' very ' long, Mary. We'll be here only about two' months." '.'Yes'm, but a body, can get real tired In that time,'" observed the maid. "And It's just come to' me that takln' care of the lamps will be quite a Job. I should think, sjnce they have water in the houses here, they'd' have" gas too." " " 1 ; ,t ' ' Beatrice ('pausea -to ; bite back the; im. patient exclamation that rose to her lips. If she were only rich enough to -be in-' dependent and keep as many servants as e wanted. But again she forced her- ;eli fto speak patiently. ... "Well, Mary,", she said, "I know "it's not easyv. But, you see, it's forjhe lit tie girl's sake that w.e came." She paused to steady her voice before going on,' ''I appreciate that there's1 more work even In a small house like this than in a city Apartment and I will make It as easy for you as r can. We won't have much com pany, and we'll not have much cooking. And"-hesitatingly "I'll put out the washing while I'm here. It will cost me more than, I can really afford," she went on more sharply, "hut I. at least, am wttling to sacrifice myself for the sake of having Jean. weH.", : The sarcasm was lost on Mary, "AH right," she responded m6r. cheer fully. "If you fix things that way. I Suess ill' get along. Now I'll fl you a bit of supper. It's so late perhaps Just i boiled egg and a cup of tea'H be all you want" ' ."Cook what' you want for yourself, and five me a bread and butter sandwich and i glass of Iced tea later," said the mis tress. "If Mr. Bobbins had not been so kind in ordering . groceries, Ice and milk for us, I don't know Just what the chil dren and I would have done this first night." ... She sighed ; wearily and bent ver an other trunk. Jack and Jean had. had their supper. of bread and. milk and were 'in bed. It was almost twilight In the little parlor where the' trunks had been set for unpacking, but the lighting of the lamps would Increase the heat of the small room and Beatrice deferred the. Il lumination as long as possible. She was feverishly desirous to get everything .un packed, and put" away tonight She was disgusted with all the mess and disor Jer of moving. If she must be out here, ihe wanted to get settled as soon as pos sible. . ' So,-,she tolled ' on' until the last trunk was: emptied,' and, Us contents : stowed away In closets and dresser drawers be fore telling.

Iced tea, seated .alone in t.he small dining room where Wo candies made flickering light across" the unset table. What was the use ;of setting the board for one lone woman?'" The reflection ' brought i tears once more to the widow's eyes. She no ticed she waa getting Into the habit of crying easily.. Well, she would go to her room and try to sleep. - But ..that kind of thing Is simpler to plan than to do. It Is as easy to make the proverbial horse drink when led .: the water as to pom pel one's self to sleep when that self Is over-tired, over-excited and over-stimulated by too many droughts of strong tea. So tonight BeatriceTltoor turned and tossed for a long hour and a half; then glancing at her watch by the light of a match, she found It was only quarter before eleven. .' ., ' She could not stand this sort of thing she told herself. She, must go,' outside, wt-ere she could breathe better. Partially dressing she slipped on a wrapper and stepping out upon the veranda, groped her way to the hammock that swung near the front s'..s. She was not afraid for she was lacking in ' the timidity 'that makes gome .women. diBlike the country..

A sudden sense of being out of things oppressed the woman She ap preciated that Helen was surrounded by an atmosphere of love' from husband, children and relatives; that she had some one to provide for her-and her son and daughter, and that she knew nothing of the endless struggle to make both enda meet' What difference would it make to Helen, she mused, If she had to pay extra tor having her washing dV,e during the summer? ; Three or four dollars more each week would mean nothing to Helen. To the widow it means extravagance. . . A cautious step sounded on the short gravel walk leaning to . the Steps. The woman caught her breath. ' 1 "Who is that?" she asked, sharply. ' It was Dr. Haynes' voice that replied, and she gasped with sudden reliet "It is I," Mrs.' Minor," he said, reas suringly and softly. "I saw: a dim light in your hall just .now.' when J was start ing for the city, so I-was sure yoiiwere up. I left my'Jcarat the, foot ,'of the hill, so that it might not. waken i Jean, and just ran. up to see if she ID all right."

(( .,' - ;: , ... Regular Road to Success ; While women during the last decade have forged rapidly to the front of the ranks In the Industrial world, there Is but one woman In the country who per sonally supervises, the work in a large glass manufacturing plant. She Is Miss Edna T. Crick of Brookvllle, Pa., and the story of her career is not essentially unlike that of many ambitious members of her sex who have become business successes. As a young girl she worked as a waitress In a restaurant In Du Bois, Pa,, and later as a kitchen .maid.-;; But while heV'days were taken up with the hardest, kind of work for. but. little more than her board and lodging, this plucky girl who, almost from childhood, had to look after herself, passed her evenings In, study. Concentrated effort on a night school business course resulted at last In her qualification for a position In an office, and her first position was with a law firm. She had this for three years. When a glass company waa Incorpor ated in her home town the' directors chose Miss Crick from among several applicants for a position, in the office. That was ten years ago. One year ago, after having filled' the position as sec retary, director and assistant treasurer, she was made factory manager. Looking after the employing and replacing of workmen MO of them In and about the factory is Just one phase of this hustling young woman's position. Although more than one business man doubted Miss Crick's ability to make a success of her latest undertaking, she made good right from the start Notwithstanding her unusual experience in active public life, where she has stood shoulder to shoulder with the brainiest of men while discharging her duties. Miss Crick has remained an antlt-suffragette. Norfolk Virginian. ' - A Law Grade f Knowledge, ."Did young Charlie Goldie call on you last night?" "Yes, he calls almost every night." "That sounds serious. What sort of young man is he pretty Intelligent?" "Intelligent! Why, say, he doesn't know enough to embrace an opportunity." By MARGARET. HUBBARD AYER, .The Llftt as a Fine Ait club, which resumed Ita meetings at the Astor hotel. wolie Ithe other day to find itself famous According,, to the public prints, this club was to aid women contemplating divorce, hut let. me 'tell you at once that that Is a complete misunderstanding of the case. The Life as a Fine Art club goes In for all kinds of high and uplifting things, dealing with the soul and deals with men tal, and spiritual welfare, but it does not touch upon divorce. No, no, ho, not at all, although The whole trouble arose i when Mrs. Mildred Manly Easton, president of the club, tried to impress UDon her hearers' at the club meetfng the ideals of the club Into practical realities. ' Mrs. Easton made a Joke about' the divorce question, and it's from that little joke that all the trouble camec She explained the joke to me when I asked her at the Pennsylvania station Just "as she" "was flitting out of thi city and away from thousands of telephone calls. "Now, wasn't It a dreadful thing to misinterpret what I said?" Mrs. Easton is a pleasing looking woman of bright and Ingratiating manner. ' - f. : "It was our first club meeting for the year,, and my idea was, that a committee should be appointed to look after the members of the, club who remain In town during the summer and to keep in touch with the members Whether they attend the meetings or not. . . t "During the summer time you have probably noticed that all clubs, as well as the philanthropic societies, suspend ani mation entirely. You can't get1 In touch with any member of the club unless that member is your personal friend. ' "In the autumn you come together again and lo and behold! One member has died, another member is In the hos pital undergoing a serious operation. The club knows nothing about It and has offered no aid or sympathy. "Now what we are going to have in a social service committee, composed of a nilmber of women under one particu larly fine leader. Mrs. William F. Peters was named as a woman of splendid per sonality, especially fitted for this ' work. This committee will try to keep In touch with all members, will aid whenever It is possible, and yes, I did. say that such a committee under the right , leadership would be - a great deal, In case, for In stance, a man and wife had separated and were contemplating divorce. . "That was merely a joke, because the members of our club are opposed to divorce rather than for It. But still, now that there has been so much talk about it, I believe that' It would be a sensible idea If olubH and social centers the set tlements, for instance had such a com mittee. "Just the tight kind of person would have to be chosen to do this work, for it would require 'Infinite tact, but I be lieve that there are thousands of women who would give anything to be able to talk over their domestic troubles with a sympathetic yet Impersonal friend, who could give them wise, sensible advice and who. was not related to thum in any way. "I think that the Judges of the Court of Domestic Reflations know that this is true. The committee' that I have In mind would work for the reconciliation of the enstranged couple, and consequently they would work against the increase of divorce." rr Sensation of Flying Three Miles in the Air What It means to fly thjrce' miles from the surface of the earth is graphically described by Royland Garros, whose rec ord of '16,400 feet, made on September I, has " been exceeded .' September 19 by Legagne'ux. The latter readied an ele vation of -18,635 feet, or wetl over three miles and a half. Garros, at a height of rrwre than 16.000 feet, found his motor stop, and-was forced tQ volplane to the ground. Garros describes his experience vividly in the Paris Matin. He writes that, after waiting a week for the sky to become lew covered with cloud, he started on Friday without much confi dence of success. ..There were a few patches of blue sky, but (lie weather was unfavorable the wind fresh and bitterly cold. He continues: r "I start with a two hours' supply of petrol, an oxygen breathing apparatus and a costume worthy of a polar explorer. It is 12;45 p. m., by my watch. The clouds' are rather more than 1,000 meters high. Ivreach them 4n four minutes and pass them, through a gap of blue. I rise very quickly. According to the diagrams, of my two barometers I reach 2,000 meters In less than ten min utes. At 3.000 - meters I have the Im pression that I am being driven back from the coast although my machine Is making over seventy miles an hour. At 4,000 meters there is no longer any doubt I am being carried, backward by the wind, which is consequently moving at more than thirty-two meters 'a second. One would almost say, however, that It was a calm dash, as it was so regular. From time to time through a gap In the clouds I see beneath, me a corner of Nor mandy. i "The motor weakens; there are mis fires, which I overcome with more petrol. I begin to breathe oxygen while counting the beat of my motor, wMch continues to run normally. , The climb becomes arduous. It Is yery Jo4d, but I am well wrapped up and do not feel it much. "Four thousand six hundred! I again hold the 'record' which Is the great thing. Tho machine begins to waver In the air, which seems no longer to support It The fight against misfires becomes ever more critical. I still hope, however, to get 600 or 600 meters higher. I notice, unfortun ately, that my supply of oxygen will not last out Here is 4,800 meters,' the height of Mount Blanc! I have a mouthful of oxygen left, and my motor misfires, so frequently that I climb no longer. - I even notice that the barometer diagram marks s descent but I am, as It were, hypnotized by ths 600-meter' line, which Is less than two millimeters from the point of the recording pen. I shall stick to It till .the motor gives up. I try to find a more favorable air current and call upon all my resources, those of an old acrobat. At last the diagram shows again a slight ascent; I climb 150 to 200 meters higher. Breathing Is now very difficult but hers is 6,000 meters I have got It! I mean to get beyond It "An alarming shock and a great noise! I am rather astonished not to feel my wings part company from me In'the air. With a movement quicker than thought I cut my Ignition and start planing down. Every turn of the propeller shakes the whole machine violently, and I do what I can to come down as slowly as possible In order to spare my wings, which have already been too severely tested. Evi dently soma Important piece, probably a valve rod. Is broken dn the motor. But gradually the vibration diminishes, and at .last the propeller sticks fast Thus I glide down with the stay wires whistling more or less shrilly, according to my speed. I am still 4,600 meters up, but I have the conviction that I am out of danger. I pass through the clouds again at 1,600 meters, and see with joy beneath me the most beautiful pasture land. I have merely to choose where I will land. It would be a mere joke If It were not for the terrible buzzing which I have had: In my' ears for the last five minutes. At. last the earth draws near. I am exactly head to wind) and I land in a few yards," ' . Garros actually landed at a place twelve and one-half miles Inland 'from Houlgate, , s Bjr ELBERT When- W haVe an Idea we either "in vent a word to express 'It, or else-we borrow one.
