Marparet too. woutd have ben as keen .about the hou-iewifcly tasks as was his mother. Would the elder woman be shocked at the youngster? Would be tho younger woman, be amused by the elder? Had h- been too lavish in his praises of these women to each I c-th'-He had not. perhaps, that they would meet so thought. soon. He had never dreamed that his mother would have th- opportunity or the means to take the eastern trip so soon, or he mipht perhaps not have written so plowlnplv of the girl to whom ho was to be married. lie mipht have somehow prepared his mother for the fact that Marparet was sometimes a little too advanced and progressive In her views. It was several years since he had seen this mother of his ar.d he had not had an opportunity to chat with her about Margaret and letters had perhaps given a too one-sided view of her. "Whatever ele happens," he told the girl on the eve of his mother's expected arrival. "don't let the mother know that you are a feminist." UJackstone. had planned to make his request at the outset of hin call on Marparet in her little uptown apartment, where she kept her quarters with two other young women who were employed in downtown uttioes. But it hadn't been so easy as he had expected, and the quick flash that came from Marpa ret's eyes made him realize that his misgivings hai not been Illfounded. Margaret was outspoken and Fho did not mince matters at all now. Concert -from his mother that she was h soff rapist, a "feminist." as he calls It why, he was asking her to be a traitor. And what good would it do? Wouldn't the truth come out sometime? Did he want her to act a li? Then came the masculine appeal for nationality. "Don't bo silly. Margaret. he said. "No one has asked you to act a lie. Yon don't have to say that you are an anti. or anything like that: but you just needn't sav anything about it at all." "But doesn't your mother know that you aro a suffragist?" queried Margaret. "I can't say that T have ever told her no." Blackstone had to go cautiously here, for he was well aware of the fact that his convulsion to "the cause" had been one of the prerequisites of their engagement. At first Marparet stormed and sputtered a pood deal over the request, but finally she acquiesced and cave him to understand that unless the subject were brought up by his mother, she would not volunteer any information concerning her own convictions. The next morninrr early, when Blackstore went to meet his mother their first connected wa?rds were directed to the subject of Marparet, whom the mother was to meet that evening at dinner in Margaret's little apartment. The other girls had acrred to tro out for th evenlnp so as to leave her sole hostess for this little family prty. Blackston winced n little when one of the first questions the mother asked wrs this: "I don't suppose your Margaret is a suff rn pist." "What makes you thir.k she could he?" he evaded in a way not altogether worthy of one who claimed to be a convert. "Just because she

Thon he ront;i;Ud nut of course you won't discuss that sort of t h i r. z with Mrparet, just fnr ir.y sake." He wanted at hast to make It easy- fcr Margaret to maintain her r.oncr.mmital point of view for Margaret had agreed or. silence on the subject only so lone: as tb.e 'mother did not introduce It. Although Margaret had a pains, agreeing to sllenci pmtt sir U Of this sort she was really not especially eager to impart to the lady who was to be her mother-in-law the fact that she was lender and prsit of the stenographers' uff rape organization in a large downtown district, or that she had firmly made up her mind that after her marriage she should call herself "Mrs;. Marparet Loomis." and by no means Mrs. Blackstone Loomis. She realized as well as did Blackstone that the circumstances In which she and his mother had been reared hart very much altered cases, and she was no more anxious to hurt or shock the elder woman than was he to have her do so. That nle;ht at dinner first impressions were as favorable as first Impressions auspiciously may be. and in order to prevent the conversation, from tnklnp a personal turn Blackstone monopolized It to an unusual extent. He had made up his mind not to leave the two women alone and not let them g-ulde the conversation. So he went into needless details regarding his latest Law case, explained the meanlnp of professional ttrms that were quite beyond the ken or Interest of either of the women, and pave a resume of a brief in which he had been recently enprossed. For a week things went on thus, and the only times that Blackstone feared an open expression of opinion was one night when his mother and Margaret chanced to meet for dinner before he could get on the scene. But apparently nothing disconcerting oecurcd. and immediately after dinner Marparet excused herself for an important engagement that Blackstone knew to bo a Jfeetinp cf her suff rape club. The r.-xt night Margaret had another suffrage engagement, and Blackstone's mother claimed :1 cnagement, too, so it was not until (hreci nights later that the three again met at dinner afer Marparet ar.f Blackstone had closed their oflicu desks. Following dinner came a play, and in a;plt? of the fact that Blackstone had taken his mother and his fianeee to an especially diverting dining place, and in spite of the fact that the play was uncommonly pood that nipht. the eveninp hours passed slowly and Blackstone felt the effect of the depressed spirits of the two usually high-spirited worn en." But he felt even more depressed when he took Marparet homo that night after they had seen the mother go to her downtown hotel together. "Blackstone, I'm sorry.' Margaret said when they hail reached the shelter of her apartment. "I'm sorry but I can't keep my feeling to myself any lor. per. I feel like a traitor. The meeting night before last made me feel what a culprit I have been, and then last nipht at the mass meeting when T looked around nt those women from all over the world workinp together for each other, I wondered how T had been so despicable as to promise to conceal my interest in the cause from anyone. You don't know how a meeting like that fires and thrills one." The fact that Blackstone's spirits h.ad already been depressed made him especially susceptible to take offense. "Then if It were a question of sufirape or me. I suppeso you would take suffrage. he said. I simply asked you io u?e a little tact in ordtr to prevent my mother brinp unhappy, and you don't care enough about me or her to do it. I'm sorry, Marparet, but it is better for us to find out now than later." "Decidedly," replie-d Margaret, who could Vie just as cjuick to jufp at conclusions as her fiance. And when, a few minutes later. Blackstone was out of Margaret's apartment in the street it was with the 1

terrible feeling that Margaret was lost to him forever. Somehow unreasonably of course he blamed his mother for this breach of his happiness. The next morning he joined his mother at breakfast at her hotel. "Well, my visit is almost over," the mother began over her softboiled eggs. "I had hoped to get better acquainted with Margaret, but apparently she does not want to be alone with me. I haven't said two words to her Alone, Blackstone." Blackstone made no answer, so his mother went on. "I suppose it is the eternal barrier that stands between the two type of women. The one will never be able to understand the other, and as the suffrage cause pains more and more converts the barrier only becomes the higher. But there will always be some women on the other side even when our great victory is won. I suppose it was f jolish of me to hope, Blackstone, that your wife would be on our side of thHt barrier if she had been then there would never have been any of the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law feeling between us. I was foolish to hope it, perhaps. but, Blackstone. after that wonderful meeting night before Inn I felt fo thrilled that it poemed for the time es if the barrier mij?ht le broken down and that all women might rally to the same cause. I wish that you and Margaret rnicht have b en there." Blackstone leaned ov?r the table Rt which he md his mother were sitting. "You don't nman you were at the suffraee mass meeting, do you, mother?"
