I 4 iS ENOUGH TO CLOTHE R390.000 TO AID STAUT THIS STORY TODAY rpiIE drlvo homo after Natallo had " settled the bill was conspicuously silent, f Onco or twlco llita started the conversation by remarking on something or other, but Natalie and Ruth replied in monosyllables. Itlta's attitude had made, them disinclined for talk. Natallo trying to spenk naturally mentioned dropping them at tho apart ment and rushing right homo as she had nu engagement, and Ruth nnd Rita went upstairs in" silence. For two days Ruth saw nothing much of Rita nnd Dan. She missed them, but she mado no effort to seek out Rita. After two days, however, sho began to make ex cuses for Rita In' her own mind and to wonder If she hadn't judged her too harshly. Ruth hnd .not entirely confided to Scott tohdt had happened that day when Natalia had taken, them out for lunch. Sho had said, however, that they had met n crowd of Ttita's frlnnds riud that k sho didn't caro mucn tor tucm. I 'TJrtlinr.a ltV AVtllfllnU vh V ftlll docsn'twant her old friends around," Scott suggested; "sho may realize that they aren't the people she wants to know.'1' That sounded plausible and went a long way toward making Ruth eager to make up. That did rot explain, how ever, Rita's attitude toward Natalie that day, her cheap makeup and every thing about her that 'had been most ob jectionable. Some things could not be explained and those wcro thV: things that Ruth had not confided to Scott. Ono'nftcrnoon at about 5 o'clock Ruth came homo from her mother's blue and unhappy. Sirs, itowland had been prostrated with one of her sick head aches, and Ruth, who felt It a, duty to go over and sec her mother as often as she could, had been forced 'to sit in a darkened room and to listen while her mother enjoyed being miserable, for that was what Mrs. Rowland delighted in doing. She would make herself -as com fortable as she could and Ruth felt that hcY mother "must suffer a great deal 6f pain,, and then sho would Ho in the bed "with a baudago over her, eyes and talk. Ruth's henrt had sunk when Martha opened the door nnd signed to her what was wrong, but Mrs. Rowland had heard tham whispering, and poor Ruth was dragged into her mother s room. Mrs. Rowland's topic of conversation that nftcrnoon hnd been about the change since" tho war. Change was what she deplored, and Ruth with her thoughts set in that direction began to work out on the way homo just how many things had changed since that night long ago when Jack had proposed to her. How happy sho had been then. Of course she wouldn't have had things any different as far as Scott had been GIRL FOR YEAR, SAYS EXPERT concerned, but thcro were so many other things, Helen Townscnif, for In stance. She didn't like Helen nearly as well as sho once had, and now Jnck was married to Natallo and awfully In lovo with her, and even' sho nnd Scott wcro not quito tho Bnrac. They hnd looked forward to life as something very different, but wasn't it just tho samo for them ns it was for other couples.? Weren't they now just married? RUth turned Into tho familiar street and eyed tho apartment house with cold dlsrtpprdvnl. She turned in nt the door and climbed up the stairs, and on the inndinc stood Rita and Scott talking. It was tho first time that cither sho or Urntt. liml no IHtn. nnd Ruth was clad, it cheered her up. "Aren't you homo early dear?" Sho jiciinl Xcntt- nftpr thov had all said Imlln. nml matters teemed to bo nd justed. "It Is early," Scott returned. Ruth did not think It necessary to ask him why he was so early when ho made no effort to explain; instead she slipped her hnnd Inside- his arm. She was child ishly glad that Rita and sho wcro once more to be friends. In that moment of relief she cared not nt all for the fact thnt Rita had made herself unpleasant that day. Perhaps it she wcro tactful enough she might Influence Rita for tho better. After all, every human being had some faults, and had to beUlkcd in splto of them. It was ofter the Whitmores and tni Tnftnnnil wpri once more very in timate, in fact shortly after Ruth had come on Scott and Rita talking in the lmll. thnt. Ruth licc-nn to notice things Hnvlng once made up her mind nbout Rita, Bhe made more excuses for her than ever, she tried to avojd noticing things Rita did thnt she, Ruth, did not like in an effort to be entirely loyal, but it became quite obvious that Rita was employing the same methods with Scott that Ruth had employed with Jack Rond. At first Ruth refused to admit this even to herself, but finally she ms fnrppil to admit that it was the truth. nita did everything with ap parent Innocence, but nevertheless she ivnnlrl mnltn herself as attractive to Scott ns possible. And Ruth was forced to admit that Rita certainly was at tractive. 'Womanlike, Ruth did not reason matters out at all, she did not trr to upe thincs from Scott s viewpoint She had excused herself any number of times for permitting a friendship with Jack Rond when she knew very well that Jnek had loved her nnd was still attracted toward her nnd that Natalie, hts wife, was made miserably unhappy by it, but this timo the shoe was on tho other foot.

A. T. Is right in much that sho says. Some housewives do make excessive demands on the maid of all work. But even thongh tho mistress "does her part" thcro, is often a servant problem to discuss. Who has not seen and known personally cases of the greatest ingrat itude on the part ot servants even after, such kindness on the part of the ) mistress. Observe how frequently servants leave after Christmas, nfter just having 'received generous presents. And where is tho housekeeper who has not suffered from the thefts of servants t Money and jewelry should certainly not be left about to tempt them, but ,ono cannot lock up nil' tho food and clothing. Surely the servant should have a decent room and ample food. But in niost of the best households the same food is not given put for tho servants' table where four or five are Kept, and they themselves are satisfied with pork and cabbage rather than more expen sive dishes which they do not really like. But any ono these days who is being given food is a fortunate creature. Teachers who have room and board as part of their stipend consider them selves lucky. So why should not ser vants? , ' .

We are coming perilously close here in ' LjjsAmerica to being ruled by labor. And Uon of our people? AVq shall soon bavo no ministers or 1,, teacucrs; no one can auoru lo lane up yf theso underpaid professions. So I should like to ask my fellow house keepers what will happen when they pay a maid .$18 a week?

And now it ,turna out that the casting of a vote requiring a half an hour, perhaps is not going to break up the home, but that the servant problem is. Men who. are so anxious to keep the home Intact should give real moral sup port to their wives and mothers, sls- Ife, ters and daughters, They' hold, the parse strings the men, not the wives Former President Taft has some ideas on the servant problem. They are quite pointed. He was asked about this phase of the modern labor problem today just before he left to speak in Tren ton tonight on the.Iiengue of Nations.

"But most of us enn't follow it exactly. "hast year I spent only $27 for clothes. I wanted other clothes, but there were so many other expenses to meet I just didn't have enough money to go round. From questionnaires filled out by more than n thousand women in this city, nnd n careful study ot existing prices, Miss A.

"I find,' said Miss Lauder, "that it is possible for her to live comfortably on that amount, if there nrcn't any emergency expenditures and she re tains her health."
