OF INTEREST TO THE WOMEN THE STRUGGLES OF A WIFE By Virginia Terhune Van de Water CHAPTER XXXI Copyright, 1916, Star Company Myra Webb said nothing to Horace About Perry Martin-s acceptance of her story, nor of the advance in price that he had suggested. She felt like • maintaining a complete silence with ■'regard to her work since the illumi nating conversation between her hus band and herself. She was painfully conscious of his lack of sympathy in her literary efforts, of his tolerance of them instead of his approval. That her silence was a mistake she soon perceived. For one morning at the breakfast table Grace remarked casually that now that one story had been sold for such a good sum, she supposed her mother would soon un dertake to write another. Horace glanced across the table at his wife. "You have sold another story?" ho asked quickly. "Yes." she replied, "I have» —to the Imperial Magazine—for $25 more than for the first one they bought." Grace looked from her father to her mother, her face expressive of uneasi ness. "Have T made a bad break?" she asked. "I took it for granted that there were no secrets between you two. I'm sorry, mother, if I have mentioned that about which I should have kept quiet." "Nonsense!" her mother tried to laugh, but no smile lighted Horace's somber countenance. After Grace had left the table to get ready for school, the husband spoke gravely. "I am sorry, Myra," he remarked, "that Grace should have told that which you did not wish me to know. ; I suppose the child took it for grant ed, as she suggested, tiiat there were no secrets between you and me." Myra Has \o SWTOIS "I have no secrets from you, Hor ace," Myra protested. "I simply did not talk about my work for the same reason that makes you keep silent with regards to yours." "The cases are entirely different," Horace informed her. This, mused his wife, was his one unanswerable argument. Yet what reply could she make to it? She would not humble her pride to ex plain to him that his attitude toward her writing wounded her. No, she could not change his way of thinking —so why try? Instead she would talk of something else. "Grace was saying last night." she began, "that you and 1 ought to in vite some of our friends here to our home. Perhaps were we to have guests, we would be better for it." "That must be as you think best," the husband said. "I leave all such matters to you and Grace. Such :tf fairs are entirely outside my prov ince." So the next dinner was planned without his co-operation. Several of his business- associates and their wives were invited. A man was engaged from a certain agency to help Lizzie wait on the table. The napery, glass, i liina and silver were perfect in their way. The food was excellent: the service good. The talk was spontan eous and bright. Hack of all these preparations were the brains and executive ability of Horace Webb's wife. Vet. as she talked and drew out what was hest her guests, she looked the unper- Vtoirhed woman of the world. Her husband seconded her conver sational efforts, for he, too, was an i ■lllllliag—iga Save Your Chicks ■■■ jgis.Dr. HESS POULTRY A dW.

From this hatching' come the best breeders. Care of the Kggs The goose-house, in deference to I that fowl's strong attachment for its | quarters should always have the same location. Any style of architecture suits the goose. The nest is the im jportant feature. Box-like nests, 15x22 inches, built side by side on the earth 'en floor, with a liberal filling of hay, straw, dead pine leaves or other lit ter. are an excellent accommodation. , The eggs should be collected daily, and I marked with ink or indelible pencil (with the date of laying. This en ables the raiser always to set oldest eggs first, for in this business as with all poultry, the older the egg for in ißubation, the weaker the youngster. ' In saving the eggs till brooding time, certain safeguards are needful. Eggs should be set on end, turned often and protected from drying and sudden ex tremes of temperature. A flannel lined box or old feather-bed in an un seated room is often favored, the eggs I being covered with pillows. I Natural incubation is to be prefer red to artificial. For the purpose of getting more eggs from the flock, at least two hens should be set coinci dent with each goose. Each may fover five or six. depending upon size of hens and eggs. One goose can hover the resultant hatching of her own and of the hens. For every dozen set. one goose may be broken I from sitting to resume her second laying. These last eggs, laid in warm j weather, unsupervised, usually hatch j phenomenally well. Though the gos- I lings face life to be supported on the lough grass of June, they grow rapidly , with supplemental feeding and become • worthy, if belated, members of the j season's flock. Normally, a goose egg hatches in 28 •lays, but it may be prolonged. Tardy goslings may require aid to emerge from the shell, but it must be cau tious, else permanent injury results. These unfortunates lack stamina, but may outgrow the discrepancy. Management of tioslings Goslings are removed from the nest lest they be crushed. The second day restores them to the mother, who is given a roomy coop with sod floor. Kor food they like a liquid mixture of meal and bran In a pieplate, often replenished. Coarse sand Is acces sible. Hard-boiled egg, chopped grass, bread crumbs in milk, etc., are not needed by Emdens. Goslings revel in sunshine and grass flanked with water. A wire-topped coop with slat sides, Bx6x2 feet, which is easily moved is efficient in confin | Why Postpone Your Yellowston* Trip Any Longer If you've never been to Yellowstone, It's high time that you go.

In August, and thereafter at periods of seven weeks, the flock is plucked of its "ripe" (ready to be shed) feathers.
