Barbara Lane hurried about her mnnv windowed living-room on a last

lnsnectlon before her guests

should arrive. She was particularly pager to have it look its best, since Sally Brabant and Pats Loring were the first of her friends to see it. Now, giving it a long look, she nodded her pretty brown head in satisfaction. "We won't' pay rent any longer." she had told her husband a few

months before. "We'll go to the country to live, and have a real home; a house, with a garden " "And lots of fireplaces," Andy Lane cut in. "And wide porches " "And a blue and

had added. They had all those things now. They had bought a little house, more than a hundred years old, and gone gaily about the work of making it over, yet leaving it unchanged. Together they had donned overalls and mixed cold water calcomine. and Sally had done the upntairs hall while Andy wielded a slapping brush in the bedrooms, and both busily planned how they'd paper two more rooms next year, and build a sleeping porch, and set out some Japanese plum trees. They had spent most of their money on the long living-room. The garden, where the lilac bushes were greenly budding, surrounded it on three .sides; only a glimpse of the river showed through the old apple trees. They had papered it themselves, in deeD cream color, and Barbara had

shopped for days before she found the guazy, copper colored silk that curtained the windows. A carpet of sepia brown covered the black-stained floor, and the big davenport and wide, low chairs were covered in rose-strewn

English chintz. It was a welcoming ; house

room, hospitable and friendly as Barbara herself. . To her it was a beloved treaesure chest. Everywhere were landmarks of her three years of happy married life. The green luster tea set that

laughed Barbara Lane, as she arranged the tea things. "What's his name, Pats?" Patricia Loring drew a long breath, her black eyes dancing. "Keith Gilbert!" she announced dramatically. Tomorrow "Marriage Is a Remnant Sale." (Copyright, 1322, by The Wheeler Newspaper Syndicate).

The Middle Ground By MARION RUBINCAM

A NEW SCENE. Chapter 105. One year passed, and several months. Two women were sitting on the porch of the farmhouse a trans

formed porch and a transformed farm-

One woman was Mrs. Talbot,

the other the fat and always smiliry neighbor, Mrs. Rowland. "I just ran up to read you Dick's letter," Mrs. Rowland was savins

dy's rise in pay. And there were the

seven-branched candlesticks for which they had bargained in "Brasstown," and the squat Chinese dragon that he had brought home in a desperate effort to cheer her up in the gray days alter Andy Junior had been taken from them. Barbara touched her eyes with her handkerchief at that memory, then whirled around as Sally's motor purred on the narrow drive, and Sally herself rattled the old-fashioned knocker. "My dear what a sweet house and how pretty you've made it!" It was genuine appreciation that was voiced by this girlhood chum. "You and An ly did it all, didn't you?" "Oh, not all just all we could;

"They'll say I spoil vou. lust as thev

said I spoiled myself by living in the city. Here is tea now." Mrs. Talbot had a housekeeper, the wife of one of the farm hands, who was an ideal housekeeper. She had a growing brood of children of her own that she took philosophically, put in charge of a half-witted sister, and heiself "kept house" for the Talbots. The porch furniture was easily recognized it was the wicker chairs and gaudily enamelled tables for the littl? city flat, but it made the farm house charming. Mrs. Talbot adjusted the tea tray and handed a plate of steaming hot muffins to her guest. "Amy sent the china set I like this black and white pattern, and no col

me good. I have a little nap first, and

am fresh as can be until bedtime."

You do look like another woman,"

Mrs. Rowland said, taking a third buttered muffin. "You are what?

Younger than me let's see, you wera a class behind me at school "

"I'm 51. Mrs. Talbot stated it with ,

pride. She did not look it; she looked like a well preserved woman of 42. Her white hair was exquisitely sofc and white, and she was vain enough to wave it a little. The way she dressed it was the despair of every woman in the neighborhood. But her skin was pink and fresh, the wrinkles were not serious, they were only lines of a sweet and mature character, rather than the deeply cut furrows of bitter experience. As Mrs. Rowland adored her, she felt she dared say anything she wan'.ed in the way of current gossip. By the time she had reached the fourth muffin, she was saying: "Of course, some criticize your new ways. They say you are ruining Jotdan by extravagant habits " "As mild as that! The new minister heard shocking tales of the French novels I read, and came around to ask me about them. I showed him my bookshelves and he went away thinking I was extremely learned. I am rot I'm trying to read the best of the good literature of the past Jane sends me lists and 1 read what she recommends." Mrs. Talbot's eyes softened as she

thought of the marvelous world that I

good fiction had opened up to her. As she was confessing, she went on

with everything, sure of the sympathy of this chubby, good-natured old friend. "They criticized me terribly for haying my own room. Why not? We have far too many bedrooms in the house, why shouldn't I have a room of my own where I can sit and read and think, and be quiet and sleep and be myself? It doesn't mean I care any less for Jordan. But there is a side of myself that Jordan can never enter into why should I stamp it out because he has no sympathy with it? 1 did that for years, and I was unhappy. And so was Jordan." She went on:

"As for the rest, the farm pays moderately well. Jordan can afford a hnnspkeener so why should I use all

my strength washing dishes and scrub I bine, when I can use my head to rim j

the house well, and my time to im-: prove the place?" "You have improved it," Mrs. Rov-i land agreed. "That hot water sys-j tem now hot water and a warm houe .

all winter long, and it aoesnt. us much coal." "It saves its costs in doctor's bills. And my new kitchen s a model of convenience. It was wicked to expect any woman to work in a place as bad as the old one this new arrangement did not cost much, I learned how to nlan it in the city. It means that my

housekeeper can do most of the cooking and most of the housework without tiring, and that I can easily manage the other duties. As for having tea" She began to laugh. A door banged inside the house. "Jordan pretends this is a wicked waste of time my afternoon party, he calls It. But I notice he usually comes around." She was- pouring. thahird cup full, as Jordan appeared in the door.

WOMAN SOLOMON MUST DETERMINE MOTHER OF BABE

Mrs. Maria Mattco, one claimant. Juvenile Judge Kathryn Sellers of Washington, D. C, is preparing a "Solomonic" decision. Like the famous biblical case, two women are fighting for possession of the same child, each claiming to be the mother. Mrs. Maria Matteo claims she gave a new born baby to Mrs. Etta Peck to care for. Mrs. Peck says she gave that baby r.way and that another, the one in question, was born to her shortly after. Judge Sellers will decide who is the mother.

It will be easier to support just yourself than to earn money for both of you. Your husband is unworthy or he. would be ashamed to let you work when he does not. Now is the time to take your stand. Unless you leave him he will always be a burden to you. But perhaps if he thinks he has lost you he will make good so that you will return to him.

"Winnie's t letter is full of teoe, Billy. She's been trying to bake, and everything goes wrong. Poor Sis I" "Well Dorothy, she isn't the only one. You had your troubles, too until you began using that Valier't Enterprise Flour. "

hkm wM

You can bake anything with Enterprise Flour

makes no difference what you bake with

Valier's Enterprise Flour you can be sure that it will turn out well. For Enterprise is milled from only the creamy-white centers of fine, strong-gluten hard wheat. Such wheat is never plentifulthis year it is very scarce. Always it costs more than ordinary wheat. But it is worth more because it will make better flour. We prefer to mill Enterprise from nothing -but fine wheat and ask a few cents more for a sack then we know that you will get flour that will produce the finest ' possible baking and never cause a failure. Perhaps that's why so many people bvy T? r?se Flour.

P. S. Valier's Enter, prise Flour has concentrated strength. Eight or even less cups of Enterprise go as far as nine of ordinary flour. Use less flour when you bake with Enterprise.
