N "i3osh!" Of course it was Mary,
any girl can do those things if she WANTS to. The trouble is they ` just make un their minds they
donit like housework, and won't do lt. Such girls should go right on working and hire their home work done."
"But they almost always marry
men like you. Bob, who are too proud to let them -work in a shop or ofilce even if they don't care how mu-ch harder they work at home. 1t's the men. their beastly pride, that makes things hard dor the girl
than they are, to treat a girl they want to marry, or one they do mar- ry, as a 'business pnrtner. 'Make it it fifty-fifty proposition. If they can afford for her to stay at home and sho prefers it, why pay her. 'I‘hero‘d be mighty 'few divorces if_I had things my way." '
“Don'i. wait to write a book, take
the lecture platform. Mary, you'd be a hit," Robert tensed,
“lt's true, every word. If a wo-
man stays at home, minds the house and the children, she is earn- ing money just as surely as is her husband. and should -be paid a sai- ary. If she works side byside with him, they should each bear their share of the expenses, each 'be equally interested in all they do- lhon there would -be no friction."
“Como on, Mrs. Lecturer! Bryan

“'l`hat's right! Always drag me
home just as I get to talking."
"Goodnessi no one else has spok-

wife, you are more fhanhalf right. You two didn't know, did you, that this woman who 'bears my name has made me -pity her a fixed salary evcr since we have been married."

Robert often talked very serious-
ly afbout conditions, especially as regarded Capital and Laitior. Ile had come in touch with things since he had taken the management of the store to ai degree -he never had be- fore. lle was ibroadening, and he took me' along with him.

i agreed with him. Unlesshe ask-
ed a question, or something par- ticularly funny had transpired dur- ing the day, I never mentioned business to him now. He, too, had stopped talking of the store except when he wantedmy advice. I still went down with him every Saturday night to trim the win.- dows, as he received extra pay, and more than at first, for doing this. Usually -we took that night to play. We dined out somewhere' when we had finished. then went to ei-ther a play or the motion plc- tures. Robert had become quite a fan, a movie fan, and I too enjoyed a good picture immensely. ,

nearer together. Day by day. our happine.;s seemed to increase. It did not seem possible that I could ever have been as unhappy as I was at Mrs. I.Atne's; or that Robert could have -been the listless dis- couraged mi-rn he was.

SYNOPSIS
Zena Stewart, daughter . of
Sl0l‘l'. She is the only child of a mother who is determined she shall make a good marriage, and it father who-cautions her that the man li-:ns-elf is what counts, not what he has. -
The story opens with Zenn's in-
troduction to society. She tells of her young friends, and ner meet- ing with Kenneth Lawrence, n Californian, who is a cousin of Claudia Shephard, a girl in Zenti’s ict. Kenneth appeals to her prin- cipnliy perhaps because-he is different from the men she knows. He is rather serious, and doesn'L 'cure for society.
'I`ht>ra are two other young nten
in the story at this stage, Jack Pryor and Gregory Stuart. Mrs. Stow.irt likes them both, although sho favors Jack. Zena, too, thought, of them rather seriously tbefore
Kenneth's advent. Then, 'because
Kenneth gave her the thrills she never had felt with either of thc others, .she rather neglected them. Kenneth remains it month, until after Zena's ibirthday.
Zena’s father dies soon after.
And when all is settled, they have nothing. Zena goes to work. Her education no help, her accomplish- ments not great enough to com- mercialize, her clothes too good,
0
Then she drifts from one thing
to another, until she begins to real- ize lhat she must in some way equip herself if she is to succeed. She studies nights, and gets to know` a queer. good-natured Irish girl who is of immense assistanco to her. She -succeeds in- spite of all her discouragements, always re- membering her father's advice to "be good, really good."
Zena does not see Kenneth Law-
rence for two years. Both Jack und Gregory would marry her, but she refuses, neither is her ideal, the true man for her that her fath- er used to talk alboutu One of her employers also falls in love with her, and asks her to marry him. But to them all she says “no"-al- ivays an image of Kenneth Law- rence bock in her mind, although she has no idea she will ever see him again.
vShe hos, of course, dropped com pletely out of sight of her old set; in fact, she never secs or hears from them. Then, when she is the

too much of a man. Father said that I couldn't expect too much of goodness and clean living. Dad really was a wonder-a perfect host, a man of the world. a society man; yet he thought and talked- to me-more about being good., living rightly, than about anythins. 618%. I
When I was it tweeny weeny lit- ,
tie girl in pigtails I used to climb on his knee and he would tell me what '.;.i..I of’ a girl he hoped I would he; and as I grew older. what kind of a woman he wanted meyto grow into. "One who is kind, thoughtful, fair and square to herself. and all the world. Your education, your accom- l pllshnients will not bring you hap- piness, Zena. Happiness comes
good-really good."
I didn't think so much of what he said then, as I did of my love for* him, and the half hour spent in his' library with him. But afterwards, long afterwards, these talks carrie back to me. Especially:
"I want my girl to be good -
really good."

But they werel accomplishments with me; nothing that was at all necessary, save to make me more attractive-or ever would be necessary, so I thought.

CHAPTER I.
The yt-.ar I came out I was just.
the busiest little mortal anyone ever knew. I never had an idle minute. A society girl can put it all-over a working girl as far as keeping busy goes. |Mother used to worry terribly for fear I would lose- my inoks»I was rather pretty, so my mirror as well ns my friends mid me-with so much dissipation.
Really at times I was awfully
tired. But. I would brace up, say nothing to Mother about it., and keep going. Being born with n sil- ver spoon in one's mouth-or as Mother put lt, ‘ibelng born to so-
you, to make up both happy." I cicty"-is pleasant; yet at times- ltl
has its disadvantages. When the time comes that you have to use a

you never said anything, never let the society in which you are born,]
you forget -what you are eating. You think only of the spoon. - Naturally, I was expected -to make it brilliant marriage. But dear old Dad used to say, when Mother talked of it:
"Have your fling first, Zena, you
have plenty of time. And marriage is a serious thing-if most girls do treat it-as sort. of a tea. party."
I used to think of every young
man I met in the light of a future husband. I think most girls brought up in.,societ.y. do. They were all reasonaibly intelligent of course; some of them were amusing.

; One afternoon Claudia Shephard i gave a tea. Among the guests was it young man I never had met, at , distant cousin of CIaudia's who was ivlsiting her. He was .1 quick- imotioneti Westerner. whom ai. first I set down as unused to society, and rather awkward. But he was fairly good-looking and I felt it my duty to Claudia to help entertain him-.
I-Ie was so different from the
other young men I knew, that I really found him interesting in :t serious sort of a way. And he had in spite of his seriousness, a vibr- ant personality that fairly obtruded itself upon me. But I was enormous- ' ly surprised wvhen hc said he tlidn't carcfor society, that most social functions bored him.
“But what do you do?" I asked. "Do with yourself I mean?" I had. not meant to be inquisitive, to ask him anything about his business or affairs, and was'atraid he had mis* understood my- question.
"Why, my dear Miss St_ewart,i
there isn’t half time enough to do what I want to do-to read, tel study, to play in the open, not in crowded drawing rooms."
“But you never meet people that
way," I said.
"Oh, yes I do! Ileal people.
people who mean something. Ilave you ever stopped to think that most of our casual acquaintances mean
r, g .. . come and they go, but they leave not tt ripple."
I was not accustomed to hearing
young men talk in this strain. I almost gasped my surprise. I was in a fair 'way io get. some of' tht- thrills I so longed for. Anyway. I
:was intensely lnicresicrl in this]
strange _voting man; almost a tlif- ferent. spcclcs from any I had evcr known, yet educated, gontlemanly, entertaining.
When Kr-nncih Lawrence smiled
th(-ro was an oiiiiro change in his face. It was as if soinnthing sweet and gentle had swept across tho* rather firm- lips anti mouth. When I saw that smile I felt a slight stir- ring of something new and strange within me-the thrill had at last arrived. But almost unconsciously I now commenced to iight against the feeling, against this man‘s at- traction for me.
‘The girls all rather fell for him,
