(Copyright, 1819, King Feature Syndicate, lnc). The morning after Jim and I found each other again my state ment arrived from the bank. There was just one check in the enve lope. The check was for SSOO and wiped out my. account. It was made out to "Phoebe Harrison" and was endorsed by her to "Richard 11. "West." I sat motiomess for long minutes with that slip of yellow paper, face down, on the table in front of me. "With my forefinger I taped over and over on the name written on the back of the check. A week ago I should have known just what to do with this piece of evidence of Phoebe's case. Now I hesitated. Some miracle in his own nature had sent Jim back to me as much mine as in the dear first • lays of our life together. Ami X was afraid. Afraid that some false move on my part would drive Jim from me again—perhaps never to return. A miracle of love had brought him back. Miracles don't happen twice. A bee buzzed in at the open win dow and bumbled against the wall. 1 didn't stir. I, who had always been so afraid of bees. Presently ihe bee alighted on the table and began creeping along the wood. Still I rat trying to decide what X must do with this check. It proved that even if no transactions be tween them appeared on the books cf Harrison, West & Co., Phoebe had paid Jim's partner a large sum of money. Yet, now that I had the proof. I didn't know how to use it. It was only two days ago—less than forty-eight hours that Jim had left me and had gone to his club because he couldn't stand my nagging about the affairs of our family. How dared I bring them up again? I didn't want to risk my happiness for Phoebe to destroy the love I had almost lost, the love that meant more to me than any thing else in all the world. Showing Jim this cheek would be waving a red rag at a bull. But Phoebe needed Jim's help. Could I risk her not getting it because I was a coward? I picked up the check and turned away with it. carlesslly flicking out the bee which had crept to the edge of it. It flew away without j harming me.

I was thinking of happiness, ,[and love and how they never last. ' | All through the day I thought of . | that check folded and laid away in jmy top drawer and how happiness •land love do not last. ! j I had reason enough to think of " these things that day.

I had all 1 could do to keep from shuddering and crying out my dis tress when Evvy kissed me, mur mured her thanks for a delightful afternoon and ran up the steps of her house. All the way home I thought of Evvy's complacency—her triumph ant self-satisfaction. And the pain her happiness would cause Phoebe. Phoebe didn't know of Xeal's en gagement yet. She had to be told. But she couldn't be told until she was assured also that she was safe from Dick West. Phoebe needed Jim—more even than 1 did. Making myself dainty in a new house dress of lavender taffeta, I got out the insistant slip of yellow paper and waited for Jim. When he came home and took me in his arms with the tenderness 1 had re membered all day, my resolution almost failed. Then 1 thought of Evvy—and Phoebe, and loosening his arms, I faced Jim almost sadly. "Dear," I said pleadingly, "I hate to do this. I don't want to start nagging and managing again. I don't want to hurt you. I—l don't want to —Oh, Jim, don't be angry at me. Please don't sop loving mo again. But I—l have to show you this." 1 I held out the check. Jim put out I his hand for it, looking at me in I puzzled wonder as he took the i yellow slip from my hand. He stood | holdinß it for a second with his I eyes still on mine. Then he dragged I them away with an evident effort jand looked down at the paper he ! was holding between his fingers. He I stared at it for a moment with I knitted brows, then he turned it | over and studied the signatures on the back. I saw the crease I dreaded come out between his eyes. Then he looked up and his eyes flashed ominously. He threw up his head and ran his fingers between his col lar and throat- After a moment he moistened his lips and spoke abruptly, "Anne, do you know what this means?"

This is cause for rejoicing among women, all over the world. It means financial independence, great er opportunities—and political equal ity. And with the latter great bless ing will come, many needed reforms. The school teacher entrusted with the education and training of future citizens may hope for a salary equal at least, to that of the elevator girl. We may then hope to clean up I the milk situation and thereby re -1 duce infant mortality, as the women ! of New Zealand did after they got I political equality, and we may be able to reduce the staggering il literacy figures brought out by the draft. In the meantime, between eleven and twelve million in the United States are "holding down jobs," gone on record as saying they shall keep. Now, these women would not be human if they did not i swagger just a bit over their pros j perity—it is so new, such an over j whelming bit of luck to so many of I them. I A year or two ago, many of these I workers from more prosperous mid- I die class homes deliberately dissi ! pated their energies in killing time. ! They went in for aimless shopping j and purposeless calling because they knew no better. But the war I reformed them, and showed them the dignity and Joy of labor. l.iibor and Education It is impossible for a woman to earn her living without getting at the same time an education in eco nomics. The word may sound for bidding and uninteresting at first but when she grasps that it has to do with her pay envelope and the number of hours she has to work for it, she learns the meaning of that word. And she learns other things too, —namely, that the position of a working woman without a vote is very much like the plight of a tailor without shears. She learns this from working conditions about her, and all of the dear old anti suffrage dowagers cannot persuade her to the contrary. In these rapidty changing modern times when women, over night, shift their occupation' from stay-at-home daughters to breadwinners, there are one or two highly valuable "tips" to be remembered. One is, please try to remain feminine during office hours; and another is. please do not be tearful, and another, don't over emphasize your sex, and lastly, taCkle your office job as a man tackles his. In regard to being feminine, please do not imagine because that wonder ful pay envelope—with all it implies —is waiting for you that you shall shove along faster to the goal of pro motion by assuming a masculine de meanor. On the cpntrary, if you bang and bounce, use "language" and dis pose of yourself in a chair like a contortionist, you will put every man in the office on his guard against you. You will convey the I impression of poaching on maacu- I line preserves, and you will have to | be twice as clever'and efficient as if you remained where you belong, on your own side of the fence. The girl-urchin with her slang and her vehemence may be a novelty for a while, but we weary of this I kind of innovation six days out of seven, and long for soiaething more restful. Every man btfi the veriest curmudgeon—is wiping to give a girl a chance, but lie does not feel under any special' obligation in re gard to the office toitiboy. Almost as offensive as the office tomboy is the girl who takes to tears as a duck to water. No one I dares to make a legitimate sugges- I tion in regard to office work or discipline for fear that Miss Smith will be unable to control her riparian rights. Her tears have an alarming way of dividing the office into camps—those who make her weep, and those who do not. The wets and draws tight it out. while Miss Smith looks on, either dry eyed or tearful. "according to taste," as the cook-book says. Now the Office-Freshet has got to have talents way beyond the aver age to hold her job. She is too sug gestive of shipwrecks. life-pre servers and other terrifying things to be a success. She keeps lively for a while, but she has a way of disap pearing on the tidal wave of her own tears. No Sex in Work The sensible girl who gets pro moted from one position to another is she who realizes that there is no sex in work. She tackles her job as a man does his, and depends on good work to get a raise in salary, and eschews the flowery paths of ro mance. Making eyes instead of know ing how to spell may help for a while, but it does not help in the long run. Little Fluffy Ruffles with her wiles and guile Is an unmitigated nuisance round an office where real work is done. It is like having TNT about unlabeled. No one really settles j down to work till the dangerous com- ! bustible. is removed. And usually the first to assist in the removal is he who applies the match—l know TNT requires na match but this figure of speech does. 1. have' known scores of women to' till important positions and till them most successfully. 1 knew one who was the managing editor of a big Sunday paper; several who have edited magazines; and another whoso revelations in regard to the biggest trust in America—or perhaps the world—brought about remedial legis lation in Washington; and I have corresponded off and on for years with a woman novelist who makes over a hundred thousand a year. None of these women is mascu line, oversexed, or tearful. They all dress well, are conventional, and keep the soft pedal down. X have never known a single instance of a masculine woman to make a genuine success of any business undertaking. There is something about the two extremes that puts every one about them on the defensive. They are too bjsy demonstrating their own per sonalities to really succeed. The only way to succeed is to deliver the geods, and tc deliver* them as quietly as possible. Perhaps you have heard a noisy milkman in the early morn ing hours. If you have, then you will know what I mean.
