huge Gelonial door swung open and out came a gay crowd of young people, shouting and laughing merrily. The girls were dressed in long, flowing evening gowns and the boys in tuxedos. She ducked behind a tree that she might not be discovered by them. They , shouted good-night to one another, and then get into their cars and drove away. As soon as the terrace was deserted Mary came from her hiding place and walked along in deep thought. She did not know what happened next, but suddenly she was in one of those beautiful mansions, witness to an unhappy scene. They didn't seem to see her, for they gave no sign of it, but she was conscious of the entire scene before her. In the room sat an elderly lady, a very aristocratic appearing woman. She was in a heated argument with her husband, a tall, well dressed man of about fifty-five years. Their voices rose angrily as the fight progressed, until they were actually screaming at each other. The husband accused her hotly, HA fine wife you are. You are more interested in your eternal bridge parties than you are in your family.W She interrupted him, scornfully, HAnd you, my dear husband. You practically live at the gambling table at the casino. I suppose you call that interest in your family.N They argued back and forth, each growing angrier with every word. At this moment, the door in the hall banged and in walked a young fellow and girl of about twenty-one and eighteen years respec- tively. That is, it would be more exact to say they tottercd in. The girl's breath smelled very strongly of liquor, and her gait was noticeably unsteady, while the boy was actually drunk. They had recently come from a party, in fact, the one which Mary had previous ly witnessed. Both being heavy drinkers, they had indulged in a little too much liquor. Imagine Mary's surprise when she recognized the girl of the parade. s There was a tense silence for a moment as the mother and father took in the two dishevelled figures. Then the mother's shrill voice lashed the two young people with her scorn. She screamed hatefully, HI've tried to make you two amount to something, and all you are capable of doing is coming home in this drunken fashion night after night. You're a disgrace to the Van Hammond name.N The girl's lips curled scornfully. USO you've tried to make us amount to something, have you? Why, I've hardly seen either you or father for nearly 2 we K. You and your bridge parties and he and his gambling. Don't preach to me, or I'll toll you something. Why, we have a greater affection for the servants than we have for you. Why shouldn't we? They make what little home we hove.W Back and forth, the battle waged, till Mury's senses reeled with disgust at it all. There was no respect for each other, no 9.

concern for feelings. Each was intent upon hurting the other, Fin- ally, in a voice trembling with anger, the girl said abruptly, 'Good nighti' and rushed from the room, and the bang of a bedrodl door was the only eund which broke the outraged silence. Soon her brother staggered uncertrinly from the room, followed by the silent parents. Then the lights were extinguished and Mary heaved a deep dgh of relief as silence settled over thc house. And then the scene suddenly seemed to change and she was walk- ing along a sidewalk, bordered by a narrow hedge. She stopped abrupt- ly as she came to an opening in the hedge and looked with surprise at what she saw. Nestled in among the trees was a little white cot- tage with a large white fence all around it and surrounded with roses and vines. She was surprised to see a subdued light shining from the windows, for it was about twelve-thirty. It looked so cozy, she stood for a long time drinking in the simple beauty of it. Suddenly the scene changed again, and to her surprise she was within the little cottage. First her eyes eagerly surveyed the room. The interior of the home was fully as delightful as the exterior had been. Mary uttered a sigh of ecstecy. It was only a small house, and there was no ex- pensive furniture, but everything was so clean and tastefully arranged that the effect could not have been more delightful if one had spent a fortune on it. Again, the occupants seemed to be unaware of her presence. A very sweet-faced lady was sitting in a chair by the fireplace reading and nearby set another lady, who, Mary judged from the con- versation, was an old friend visiting for a day or two. Mary was particularly attracted to the lady reading, and thought to herself how quaint and beautiful she was. Her clothes were only inexpensive, but so neat and becoming. She looked up from her book from time to time to talk to her friend, whom she called Martha. She talked eagerly of her beloved children, Bob, Jack, and Mary Jane. It was time for them to bu comind, she said, smiling. Together they had attended a school dance, and they would be arriving home any minute now. She smiled, explaining--UYou see, Martha, they always know I will be waiting for them. They love to tell me about their good times, and I love to hear them.N How proud she was of them! She went on to tell her friend proudly of the athletic honors Bob had won on the football team, how Jack was president of his class, and what a deer, sweet girl Mary Jane was. Her husband had died when the children were little, and she had brought them up and supported them herself by means of her husband's pension and what shecould earn by doing dressmaking for some of her more prosperous neighbors. With a tender look in her eyes, she said, WSince my dear chil- dren have grown up, they won't let me work any more. Each of my boys has a job after school hours, and even though I have protested, they give me their pay envelopes every week to use for household 10.
