The Middle Ground By MARION RUBINCAM

DEFENSE. Chapter 62. When a young woman cries, it is pathetic and appealing enough. An oM woman's tears are irresistible, there is something so infinitely touching about the fact that age, which should have peace, has only sorrow. Even Claire, whose sympathies were not her strongest point, was touched so that she too, felt her eyes grow wet. She began to defend herself. "It's not my fault," she said, aral repeated it several times as though repetition . must carry conviction. "You don't' understand. You have never tried to understand. That is why you are having all this trouble now." "I have done nothing else but try to understand,' Mrs. Talbot answered, honestly believing her words. "All this winter and spring I've done nothing but try to adjust myself to the views of my children. They all thinlj they know more about life than I do, and I am older and their mother." Tears were flowing fast; Claire, too, was wiping her eyes. "It's not my fault." Claire went on "Listen, I'll tell you where you have been wrong." There was an inarticulate sound from the mother. But she made no objection. "You think I have been a bad wife to Luther," Claire began. "I haven't. Vhen I met him, Luther was just a funny, narrow-minded man, without

any experience of the city at all, ex-

cept what little he got at college and he studied too hard there to meet anyone or to learn anything but his lessons." "Seems to me he could get alor.g without all this experience' you call being broad-minded," Mrs. Talbot interrupted viciously. You can't and live in the city," Claire answered patiently. "They used to call him 'the preacher' because he looked so well, they said 'sanctimonious'. But I liked him. "Anyway, we were married. He was pure gold to all the men I had ever known. And he did me a lot of good He made me see that things could be ideal, the way we read about them in novels. And I made him go around and to parties and gave him pleasure that was something that he had been too busy and too poor to know any thing about before. The poor boy had never been to a really frivolous

Heart Problems

Worried Wife Nothing is more reprehensible than for a sister to make trouble for' a married siste or interferes in her private life. If you parents are still alive, it would be the duty of the mother to talk to her about the wrong that she is doing. Your husband should not encourage her. either. Mrs. M. W. It is difficult to tell you what to do undr the circumstances you relate. If you went back to the country, how could you support your six children? Sometimes hsbands do foolish things and later see the error of their ways and reform. Worried Mother The question of the children living with their stepfather should have been taken up thoroughly before you married again. If the youngest child is 15 years old, and perhaps is able to support itself, and the others are self-supporting, it might be well not to try to have them live with you. A mother, of course, loves her children, and will do everything she can to keep their love. Your husband, you say, is good to them, which shows that he is a good man. If the children will not return this kindness, it might be well for them to May where they are. Perhaps they will change their attitude in a few years and see that your husband is making a good home for you.

party in his life before I took him to one. "And I made a nice home here, p.s you can see. He had been in dingy, dirty boarding houses, and before thet at home where it isn't pretty and confortable as it is here." Mrs. Talbot had to agree to that. Claire really had put together a very charming home. "Only 1 became restless with noth ing to do all day. I wanted things Luther couldn't afford, but I was willing to work to get them, I didn't want him to work harder for me. It wr3 not wicked of me to want to work to make his income larger. "You said, a little while ago, something about my wanting to dance and sing and show myself off because I am an actress. If I had been a clever seamstress, and had done sewing for other women to make an income, you would have approved of that as being 'good'. If I had been able to paint, you would not have thought it wicked of me to paint pictures to make money. If I had been intellectual, like Jane, and could have been a doctor, would you have thought it wicked of me to cure people for money? "But there is oniy one thing I can do that is, dance a little, sing a little, and look pretty in fancy costume on a stage. That is my profession just as much as doing embroidery or taking in washing is the profession of some other women. Is it any more wicked of me to want to do the thing I can do than it is for them? "As for the men I see, that you think so wicked " she hesitated, choosing her words carefully. "First of all, any actress must know a lot of people, must have what managers call 'a following'. Otherwise she does nr,l draw, and she loses her value. She has to know lots of people who will buy seats to see her and talk about her to friends. "I did know a lot of people. I wanted Luther to know them, too. Bat. Luther decided that every man I knew must have been in love with me, v must still be in love with me. He didn't trust me though I trusted him. He was jealous of all of them even of some of the women. "An actress loses a little of he popularity when she marries. She can't help it, men are not so interested in a married woman as in one who isn't. And men buy the theatro tickets. But I don't mind. "In fact, I was so much in love with Luther, 1 didn't care about anything else. I wanted him to know all the people I liked. I wanted them all to come around and see me, as they had. I love lots of people. Luther didn't. He was jealous " "And how about Jim Clarke?" Mrs. Talbot asked pointedly. Tomorrow Misunderstanding.

In turn Mr. Chance wrote to the postmaster general, inclosing the letter written by the woman. The postmaster general replied that he wa3

very well pleyed with the news that such courteous service had been afforded by a man from Indiana, his own state.
