KnTT It will all end. were her last words. "I probably will never have any happiness nga n in this world, hut I've got to go on. And although lluth argued that there would be more scandal It this thing -went on than there would be If she came out Into the open ana nna a aiYon.e, r-ui. .ini wmilct not see It that way. After she had gone the brightness of the apartment seemed dimmed. Ruth dirt not feel hanw. It was at these times that she almost lost her own grip iir. rrr4nri wa such a lottery. men and women were such unstable things and so llttlo seemed to bring happiness. She was generally cousm e red happy, but was she7 Wasn't there something lacking In her life although tibe would never rtave nreamea 01 au mlttlng it to others and seldom, If ever, Mil tA herself? The afternoon mall brought a letter from Jane and Ruth sat down in a pJmlr near the window to devour it. Almost tho first paragraph struck a discordant note, if one were clever enourh to read between the lines, "Bob and I are too happy, and things would be utterly perfect If It weren't for his people. Relatives are never pleasant at close range, you know." Ruth raised her eyebrows at this Something must have happened, for Jane did not ordinarily speak this way, and a few lines down Jane described in detail what had annoyed her. Joy had been til and she, Jane, had been un almost all night with her. Naturally she had been dead the next morning and things hadn't been ship hane when Bob's mother bad run in on her. In the characteristic way she had, writing coming as natural to her as breathing, she described the conver sation Vhlch conjured up the whole scene to Ruth's mind. From what Jane had written she and Bob had taken a small apartment. Ruth could see the disordered little rooms, tho sick child, the hot, solted bed linen, and Jane her self, far from tidy as Bob's mother, aplck and span, soft-voiced and hyper critical entered the place. Ruth could hear her "My dear, what has happened here?" as plainly as If .Mrs. West had spoken the words to her, her remon strances as to the condition of the place and her suggestions that might help it, s"Ot course," Jane's letter read, "when Bob came home at night ! wasn't in a very good humor, and of course the first thing I did was to tell him about his mother's visit. Of course, I exag gerated some, but cot so very much at that, and the more I told htm the more silent lie grew ana tlio angrier l was be cause he couldn't sec things In my light, l and the first thing I knew we were ac tually quarreling. Of course, it wasn't mucn ol a quarrel ana we made up soon afterward, but it's made a difference because things were said that hurt, "Bob said his mother was older ban I was and probably knew more than I AU about housekeeping, rand he said ae thought It wouldn't do me any harm to learn to do things her way. Of course I was furious at that, and I said I would do them in my own way or not at all. And then he Just looked around the place, and It was a sight, and he said he did think I might take time to dicis In the morning before breakfast, perhaps that was why his mother had spoken as she had. You see, Ruth, I have been wearing that lovely Chinese ccat that you and Helen gave me to breakfast, and, of course, I know it Isn't practical when I'm working around the stove, but I hato house dresses, and so I've just let things go around the house because I didn't want to dirty the coat and I didn't want to take it off." Ruth let the letter fall Into her lap and sighed. Poor Jane ! Of course she wouldn't like, bouse dresses, and of courso she wanted Bob to love her in the Chinese co-it. It wasn't exactly her fault, and yet it wasn't Bob's fault either that he had been brought up by different standard? and wanted to see his wife trim and efficient as his mother had been. A man forgets so quickly the tolerance he displays when he Is courting. Everything seems different when he Is facing bis wife. across the DreaKiAst tame every morning of his life As Ruth sat with the letter In hr lap she could not help thinking of the auierent wings sne Had learned from tna marriages of other people. Homo of the things she had absorbed, but for the most part she bad gone ahead, as most women did, and managed her own nf. fairs. And, of course, that was Jmt what Jane would do manage heft own affairs. No matter how often she was warned, no, matter what was given to.her In words of advice, she would go J..-, wj. , wiKu umu jno naa learned from that most drastic tearW h.i. ence, and then, perhaps, It would be wo hub 10 no anyimnr. After all, Jane lived In an atmosphere creed by her own Illusions, and from whit she had seen of him Bob West was thoroughly practical, accepting realities as a mat ter of course. Whether he and Jane would weather the difference in their ulU4j w.unea 10 do seen.

A good tooth paste or powder goes far toward keeping the teeth In good condition. But occasionally there will appear a bit of tartar that tooth paste docs not seem to remove. And so this tooth pencil, which, as the name Implies, looks very much like a pencil and has been prepared for the purpose of removing tartar or discoloratlons. One does not use It every day Just once In a while. It Is being sold In one of the better shops, and comes very veil recommended. The price Is twenty five cents. A metal polish that Is particularly good for removing rust can be had for ten cents a cake. It reminds ono of an Ink eraser, and It brings with it the assurance that it will remove the most obstinate spot of rust.
