Hagar, a girl of 12 when the itory opens, Uvea on the AshcndyneV tradi tional estate at GUead Balm. In Vir ginia. Her father. Ill-mated, dwells abroad, and her mother (from whom the has Inherited her mental worth) does not long survive the cramped circumstances Imposed by her husbands parents. When she Is found examining; Darwin's "De scent of Man" she Is severely punished; an honest lovo affair at boarding school brings upon her the thunderous wrath of her colonel grandfather; when she wins a money prize for a Btory In a periodical she Is told thai In the south the Idea of women writing Is deprecated. But when her father marries again this time a rich widow and provides that Hogar, now a girl of 20 or more, shall live In Now York, hor higher development begins. Following her Interests there amounts to summarizing most of tho Urge questions of the day literature, for she has become a distinguished novelist, settlement work, socialism, equal rights, judicial corruption. The last-mentlonod problem is embodied In tho career of a convict whom as a ltttlo girl she had once helped and who Is now n socialist of highest character and charm alas, she knows only too well that charm I At last llagar sees tho world, while travel ing with her father, who has been ln vnllded by an accident and bereft of his second wife. When he, too, dies and leaves all to Uagar, the cause of suf frage is enriched by $50,000 or so a year. This she makes plain to the man of her chotoe, a bridge builder and a lato comer on the scene: "And you're aware that I shall work on through life for the fairer social order? And that, generally speak ing, the woman movement has me for keeps?" And at this moment of calmest betrothal Hagar remembers another duty: "Her candid eyes' continued to meet his. 'I wish a child. While it Jieeds me and when it needs me, I shall le there.' " THE VTOJL, TO tilVE. By M. P. WIU eocks. 47S Pp. J1.S5. The Macmlllan com pany.

The story of Harriet Hosdick, a young New York girl, who has been attending a fashionable boarding school. Her par ents are compelled to. leave the United States and they decide to leave Harriet for a year with somo country couKlns In Marshfleld. The story throughout Is In tended to show the gradual development of a girl's fine charaotor, which at first bad scorned trivial and almost snobbish. Di His better half was a big, square-jawed woman with a determined eye. "In the first place, where did you meet this woman who, according to your story, has treated you so dreadfully?'' asked the Judge. "Well," replied the little man, making a brave attempt to glare defiantly at his wife, "I never did meet her. She Just kind of overtook me." Pittsburgh Post. RAKING THE HOME PAY OUT Modern Housekeeper Most Ahead If She Would Sneered. Plan .Mr. Ilenpreli Kxplalna. It wait a wtzrnrd little man who ap peared before tlif J iJge and charged his mf' . il, 1 1 uel and nbufclvr tiAutt'ient There is no question but that In the early days, and until our era was ushered In, the home was a paying Investment. It was a factory where' many of the things of life were manufactured, actu ally made by hand, as the word Implies, ami the family had little save what they ' thentuulvt-s mado or produced They never dreamed of the problems that . haunt us tods' . while wc arc In danger of forgetting the nutuie of tile problems that so troubled them. We are likely. too, to fortfet the lessons of frugality and thrift that they were forced to learn until they became habits, the lessons that made them so capable, which gave them such high Ideals and developed such strong and noble characters in both men and women. So it has come about that not only has the mode of living been revolutionized by Uie tremendous changes that have taken place, but problems of the gravest kind have arisen, for the solving of which there Is no experience In history to gulds us. In fact, not only is there u "woman nidation," but a "man question" as well, though perhaps it woUId be more correct to say that there Is really a tangle of tiuftstlons involving men, women and children. To make the home a paying Investment today takes business ability, keen brains, willing hands und feet, high Ideals, as well as considerable degree of self con trol. But tnere Is no money return In the modern home If It pays, It must pay wcl- In human satisfaction, In human fare. In human achievement. Perhaps It will simplify matters to say at once that woman has exchanged her spinning wheel, her loom, her can dle molds, her churn and nyich of the machinery of the ancient home for a new tool, a very simple one. but one whluh shows how much the character of her work has changed. That she often spurns the use of It, that she does not esteem it as she ought, and that she does not even recognise it as a tool, Is perhaps the reason her problem seems so difficult to solve, or that she has solved It so poorly, or that shs has so often failed; for her new tool is a simple pencil, or perhaps a fountain pen, and her work, to be ef ficient, must be as inuoh mental as man ual. In fact, she should work with her brain more than with her hands. If she Is to succeed, she must learn to look ahead, to lay plans and carry them out. If she does this sbe will find many uses for her pencil or her pen. ; It should never be forgotten that not! what is earned so much as what is bought determine, the value of the money 12!;, " " rCamy tt.r of arithmetics, of strict business, not of sentiment. It Is a problem to be solved by pencil and paper; a matter of daily, woekly, monthly and yearly accounts; a balancing of Income against tho outgo. In fact, the problem 'is to convert the outgo of money Into an income of human welfare and satisfaction. It also Involves the problem of keeping the money in come equal to or In excess of the money outgo. So far it Is strictly a matter , of arithmetic, of business and has nothing to do with the heart. Woman's World, He UnburUens Himself. "Can you bear it if I tell you something serious?" ventured tho young husband "Yes; don't keep anything from mi" gaswd the bride. ' "Itemember this does not mean that my love for you Is growing less." "Don't break my heart What Is itr Well, my dear. I'm gottlng tired of angel food every day for dinner. Would It be too much to ask you to ha,ve liver and onions?" Kansas City Journal,
