Prudence’s Daughter

IN NEW YORK SYNOPSIS—PART ONE—At * merry party In the etudlo apartment of Carter Blake, New York, Jerry (Geraldine) Harmer, Prudence’s daughter, meets Duane Allerton, wealthy Idler. He admires her tremendously and she likes him. But Allerton gets a bit exhilarated, with unfortunate results. Jerry, resenting his assumption of familiarity, leaves the party abruptly, the story turns to Jerry’s childhood and youth at her home In Des ■ Moines. Only child of a wealthy father, when she is twenty she feels the call of Art and asks her parents to let her go to New York for study. With some misgivings they agree to her going. In New York Jerry makes her home with a Mrs. Delaney ("Mimi”), an actress. who. with Theresa, a painter. • occupies the house. Jerry takes an immediate liking to Theresa, and the two seem likely to become fast friends. CHAPTER lll—Continued She set herself briskly to unpacking her small bag. folding things neatly I away In the small drawers of the chlf- | fonler. The two photographs In their handsome frames. Prudence and Jer- । rold, she placed conspicuously on the I dressing table. And then she suddenly took up the picture of her mother, and looked at It Intently, questlonlngly, almost passionately. She shook her head at last with sharp impatience, and placed It opposite that of her father once more. ; “I don’t get you. Prudence,” she j said. In her Intense moments, Jerry referred to her mother always as “Prudence.” using the word not so much as a name, but rather as a statement of principle, a code of worship, a creed of ”ellglon. When she said, as she did very often. “I do not get you. Prudence," she meant only that Prudence was a depth of philosophy she could not fathom. It Irritated her. If Prudence had been a scintlllatlngly brilliant, Intellectual woman, Jerry felt she would not have minded her Inability to reach the Innermost recesses of her mother’s thought. Prudence was no such thing, Jerry knew It. After her unpacking, sweetened and refreshed with a perfumed bath In her tiny tub, she ran up the dark stairway to the third floor, turned back and j tapped softly upon the door. “Oh. d —n I” she heard, muttered fiercely, from within the room. And then apologetically Theresa called. “I spilled the ink I Come In. Miss Hari mer. I can't get up for a minute. The place Is a mess. I've just hnd a scrap with Mlml, and I'm a wreck. She wanted to clean up before you came, and I wouldn't let her, and we are both furious.” Theresa was down on her knees briskly mopping up the Ink with a fresh towel. Jerry stood In the doorway, and looked about the room with eager girlish Interest. If her studio downstairs appeared small to her, this one she thought quite unendurably so. There was no rug on the floor, nor curtain at the window. The couch was a tumbled mass of blankets and wrinkled 1 sheets with a box of paints and half ; a dozen magazines thrown upon it. The teacup was on the floor, its contents untasted. And there was a big easel turned to catch the best light Theresa, just getting to her feet again, looked with amused eyes upon Jerry’s frank Inspection. “Do—do you—” “Uh,” Theresa nodded. “Sleep here, work here, eat here—die here. too. I fancy. Haven’t made my bed in heaven knows when. Mimi used to come in to do it for tne, and bothered me to death, so I keep the door locked on her now. If you hear her pounding to get t tn, and me shouting for her to go away and mind her own business, don’t be alarmed. It’s a frequent occurrence. The place is a mess. Miss Harmer. I am almost ashamed of It myself.’’ She swept magazines, books and paints from a small straight chair and shoved It hospitably toward Jerry. “Cigarette?” “No, thanks." Theresa lit one for herself nervously, tossing the burned mutch on the floor In a corner and tugging at the cigarette with a deep breath, almost gulping. She pulled off her smock. “Excuse me a minute, and I’ll wash my hands.” As she washed, and then brushed back her dark tousled hair, which she did not take time to comb, but only fastened securely with additional pins, and scraped the paint from her skirt, she ran briskly on In the quick jerky fashion that Jerry found so fascinating. “I don’t usually work like this. I’m trying to get It finished—want It for an exhibition. I think It’s rather good. I The'devil of it Is that I have to dig along—for a meal ticket—while I’m trying to turn out something decent at the same time. Heaven knows I eat i little enough—lt shouldn’t be hard to I earn the kind of a living I usually live. IDo you like Italian cooking? Or j French? There are a dozen nice little places within a block or two. Oli, and there’s a wild little Russian place—- ; would you prefer that?” “Oh, any place at all, I shall love any of them, all of them for that matter—wherever you wish to go. I’m really ashamed to take you away from your work, I know you are only stopj ping to please me.” j “Oh, I dare say It’s a very good thing. Come to think of It, haven’t had a real dinner In heaven knows when. I’m sure I’m hungry.” She drew a small modish hat snugly about her ears, swept a wave of dark powder across her face, touched her lips with a bit of rouge and said she was ready. As they made their way carefully down the dark and winding stairs, Mimi’s silken voice drifted out to them from behind a closed door. “Oh, you bad boy, I believe you’re trying io make love to me I” Theresa laughed. “Little fool.” she said. “Come In any time you like, day or night, you’ll get a dose of that from Mini!, dhe runs them In relays, like

the six-day bicycle race. Lord knows where she gets them—there don’t seem so many men to spare." Theresa took her to a small, quiet, basement room, where they had a generous, quiet, Italian dinner. They ate in silence. Theresa was hungry, very tired, and Jerry was stirred and breathless. There were others In the dining room, mostly girls, smartly dressed, all thin, all weary-eyed, all smoking. “Don't you know them?” Jerry asked. “I thought every one knew every one else—ln the Village." “I don’t know anybody,” said Theresa. “I used to be ’way up on the West side. I came down here to please Mlml. Rut I like It." The days that followed were happy, dreamy, fascinating days fnr Jerry. Rhoda telephoned to her twice, with profuse and tender apologies for her neglect, and said she was coming to see her right away. But she did not come. Jerry spent a great deal of time with Theresa, but Theresa was always working, always tired to distraction. Mimi, although she continued as warmly affable and friendly as at first, hnd little time or Inclination for pretty young students of art benenth her roof. She slept until noon every day. had callers to tea every afternoon, and went out with some one every night In the week. Jerry made proper arrangements for her lessons, and was enrolled tn one of the beginners' classes of Graves McDowell. who, having previously acquired n reputation, was now eking out a hard existence by Instilling the rudiments of his profession Into young nsp! rants. Jerry attended his classes with a nice regularity nnd promptitude, and patiently did her utmost to follow his Instructions. He told her kindly that she was doing very well Indeed, let her come nnd gn as she liked, nnd paid as Httle attention to her ns possible. She bought nn enael of the most elnbornte design and arranged it pret- i tlly In her small studio, where It quite overshadowed the modest, plaything bits of furniture already there. And she painted a little every afternoon, pleasantly, comfortably, complacently, without any of the hectic excitement which throbbed about het*. Even with all thnt. she seemed to ; have a great deni of time nt her dis posnl. On the fifth day of her calendar desolation, she telephoned to her Aunt Connie's residence in Englewood, hoping to thrill the household with the news of her presence, nnd joyously nnticlpntlng n merry weekend In the lovely suburb with n tender nunt, n friendly uncle, nnd two frolicsome young cousins. She was greeted with the cold Information that the entire family hnd gone to Europe on n hasty business trip, nnd the mnld left In charge of the house did not know when they planned to return. Jerry felt I quite saddened nnd abused. She was I sorry she hnd not sent word in nd- j vance of her coming. She was sure Aunt Connie would have waited for her, would have postponed any kind of a business trip to Europe for the sake of being nn oasis In the desert for “Prudence's bnby.” Left entirely to her own resources, she managed ns best she could, reading a great deal, riding solemnly nbout town on the busses, visiting the shops It was the climax of her loneliness when she went to the movies, alone. Finally, on a hnppy thought suggested by a timely advertisement, she rented a small piano and paid a fabulous sum to have It raised to the studio, where she gave It practically her entire floor space, shoving the easel Ignominiously into the background. Jerry was fond of music. She played the piano extremely well, and sang also with real feeling and much sweetness. She was beginning to wonder if perhaps she should not have chosen music In preference to painting as a career. There seemed to be so much drudgery nbout nrt, n thing she haj not before remotely suspected. Then, one afternoon, quite without warning. Rhoda Ln Faye ran in. caught her In both arms nnd kissed her a dozen times with fervent protestations of* delight nt seeing her. Rhoda was pale, with feverish spots of crimson burning In her cheeks. “Come, get your hat,” she* said brightly. “I have finished the picture. Devereaux says It is very good.” While she talked, she rummaged carelessly through the boxes and drawers of Jerry's dressing-table, fishing out gloves and hats and veils, hurrying Jerry, nnd nlmost nt once they were running downstairs together, laughing, hand In hand. Jerry's drooping spirits were soaring to the sky once more. In striking contrast to the confusing untidiness of Theresa’s studio. Jerry found Rhoda's Immaculate to the very point of spotlessness. “Oh, how tidy you are!” she cried, frankly amazed nnd bewildered by the speckless orderliness of It. Rhoda laughed. “Oh. I am a perfect old mnld, I know It, everyone says so. How Theresa can find her easel in that messy place of hers, I can’t Imagine I couldn’t work in such a chaos. I never pretend to touch a brush or a pencil until everything Is apple-pie perfection. Coffee cup on the table, hair pin on the floor, handkerchief on the mantel —can’t do a thing, I get the willies right away. Look, Angel-face, do you like the picture?" She turned the easel about for Jerry to see the picture over which she had sweated her heart’s blood. Jerry stood before it, awed, admiring. A curious thing It was. a narrow bit of city street, showing gray and grimy between high gray and grimy walls, with just two hits of flaming color —an Inch of blue sky between two grays, and a scarlet geranium showing bravely tn a sixth-story window. “I —1 think It is wonderful. Rhoda. It makes me Teel —sorry, like crying. Does—it somehow make you think of lowa ’”

Rhoda laughed gaily. “It does not I Anything but!” “Yes, but you never met my mother, did you?” Jerry asked, surprisingly, and Rhoda did not understand. The picture was New York, plain and unvarnished, and Jerry was lonely for Prudence. "They say it really Is good. Thank God It’s finished! It’s a competition you know—a year's scholarship, travel In Europe, everything I 1 wonder If Theresa is trying for it? Has she shown you her pictures. Jerry?” “Nothing—not a thing,” said Jerry. “She never asks me so much as to look at the easel when she is working.” “Perhaps she thinks you aren't Interested. Ask her. She won't mind showing you. She has three or four exquisite things— not finished. She works on a dozen at once, as the mood strikes her. 1 can’t do that—one tiling at a time for me—and I eat It, and drink it. and breathe It, and sleep It, until It's over. That's why I’m such a wreck." While she was preparing a dainty supper on her electric grill, with which she could really work culinary wonders. she explained the frenzied system of Art she was obliged to pursue. “You enn't make a living at real Art until you’re old. and withered, and haven’t any teeth.” she declared. "I don’t care how good you are, you can't make h decent living! Gee, you're lucky. Jerry, thnt you're not obliged to earn your bread and butter. You can KI BA L ■ jao ■ it I — ' While She Was Preparing a Dainty Supper on Her Electric Grill, She Explained the Frenzied Syste n of Art She Was Obliged to Pursue pursue Art for its own sake, nnd that’s all the fun there Is in it. Otherwise, it’s just grind, grind, grind, like digging ditches, or mining coal, or scrubbing floors. Well, anyhow. I’m one of the grinders. Haven't a cent but what I earn. So I peg along with illustrations. advertising, anything I can get on the side. And when 1 have enough to pay the rent in advance a few weeks, I jump into something like this, head over heels, trying to attach a few leaves to my wreatli of laurel while I have a little hair to wear it on.” She gave her brisk bobbed head a defiant toss as she spoke. After their supper, deliciously cooked, charmingly served, they went uptown to a theater, and after a sandwich and hot chocolate at a corner drug store, returned home, luxuriously, like the plutocrat she Insisted Jerry was. in a taxicab. Jerry felt much better. For the first time, she was quite pleased with herself. She was glad she did not take Art with killing seriousness, as Theresa and Rhoda did. Why, those girls sat up, many times, night after night, until two and three o’clock in the morning, painting passionately away as though their very lives depended on it. There was no sense in such maddening immoderation. Jerry was grateful for her mental balance, her artistic equilibrium. Pictures were all very well, of course, but Jerry thanked heaven that she had been spared a passion that would surely be productive of weary, dark-circled eyes, twitching, nervous lips, and twisting nervous fingers! She said something of that sort to Theresa one night. It was a night when Theresa, staggering away from her easel, had stumbled, fallen halffainting to the floor. Mimi had pulled her up on the couch, given her a cup of the eternal tea, and then asked Jerry to sit with her a while, to keep

Indians Feared Results of Eating Wild Turkey

Buffalo meat was, of course, the mainstay and universal dish of the plains Indians—now. dried, jerked, dried and pounded in the form of pemmican of wasna. as the Sioux called it; sometimes mixed with berries gathered by the squaws, but generally “Just plain wasna.” explains Frank M. Huston in Adventure Magazine. The hump and tongue were the choicest portions when fresh, though the latter was dried by thousands. Os course, in their season roots and tubers, as well as wild fruits—especially wild plums —added to the larder. Sometimes wild grapes were added to give a dessert finish; but no Indian would eat apples when first introduced to them, nor would the men eat the wild turkey lest they become cowardly as the bird itseli. They believed — as do our dietitians —that “a man is what he eats.” Fish to the pla'wt tribes was al

her from working. Mimi herself had an engagement, and was just hurrying away. When Jerry relieved herself of her opinion on art in general, Theresa looked at her somberly, with her great, dark, weary eyes. “Didn't you ever sit up all night I working over a thing you couldn't get just right?” she demanded. "Never,” said Jerry comfortably. “Didn’t you ever forget to stop for your dinner when you were especially Interested in something?” "Certainly not, I just put the brush down, and have my dinner, and-then come back to It afterward—or the next morning—or whenever I get around to It." “But sometimes you can’t come bac& to It.” objected Theresa. “You lose the feeling when you stop—you can't come back." "You Just imagine thnt,” said Jerry pleasantly. “You shouldn't let yourself get so excited over things. You wear yourself all out for nothing. I can always come back to It when I am ready." And then she added, fairly, “Not, I must admit, that anything of mine Is anything like yours or Rhoda's. Far from itl But I am only a beginner.” ‘That's what we all are,” said Theresa wenrtly. “Just beginners. And so we shall be all our Ilves, until we die. nnd nfterward. too. I fancy.” Jerry was beginning to feel a growing impatience with both girls, their Intensity, their passionate nervousness, their ardent eagerness. She found It a little tiresome. They were always going about, looking at pictures, each other’s, or somebody else's, and then arguing desperately, for hours at a time, over tones, nnd colors, nnd values. She found herself wishing there might mme a time, just once, when they would sit down, deliberately. for ten. without hovering, poised on the edge of the chair, ready for flight at the first favorable moment. Jerry thanked God for moderation with Increasing fervor day by day. She attended her classes with nice regularity every morning, worked nt her easel an hour or two every afternoon, and then she manicured her nnils, hnd a cup of ten ami a toasted* muffin nnd went out for a bus ride. • •••••• She had been studying Art In New York for over six weeks when Rhoda swept in on her late one afternoon with the happy announcement that they were going to a party. "Carter Blake's studio, over In Brooklyn.” she explained gayly. T haven't seen him In months. He Just telephoned that he hns signed a huge contract with International this very morning, nnd Is having a wicked party to celebrate it. And he invited you. most particularly. He's a darling thing, anil you’ll adore him.” Jerry was properly thrilled, properly eager. Now that Jerry has really got down to work, does she really like it? And what next? (TO BE CONTINUED.) Fifty-Fifty It was pay day and the bookkeeper stood in the manager's otlice to claim extra pay for extra work. “Mr. Grasp ” he said, toying nervously with a piece of red tape, “during the last week I have been doing the work of the pay-roll clerk, who has been 111.” “Well,” retorted Mr. Grasp, "what of it?” “Why, this being pay day, sir," said the bookkeeper. “I thought It might be right to mention it.” "Quite right,” said the manager. “Let me see, your salary is S4O and the pay-roll clerk’s is $20.” ' “Yes, sir,” replied the bookkeeper, beaming expectantly.

Meat was a man’s food and “makes us strong.” The Objective Mind Can you bring all your faculties to the front, like a house with many faces at the doors and windows; or do you live retired within yourself, shut up In your own meditations? The thinker puts all the powers of his mind in reflection; the observer puts all the powers of his mind in perception; every faculty is directed outward; the whole mind sees .through ihe eye and hears through the ear. He has an objective turn of mind as opposed to a subjective. A person with the latter turn of mind sees little. If you are occupied with your own thoughts, you nay go through a museum of curiosities and observe nothing.—John Burroughs

IMPROVED UNIFORM INTERNATIONAL Sunday School ' Lesson ’ (By REV. P. B. FITZWATER, D. D., Dean of the Evening School, Moody Bible Institute of Chicago.) ((c), 1525, Western Newspaper Union.) Lesson for November 29 PAUL BEFORE AGRIPPA LESSON TEXT—Acts 25:1-26:32. GOLDEN TEXT—"I was not disobedient unto the heavenly vision.”— Acts 26:19. PRIMARY TOPIC —Paul Tells Why He Obeyed Jesus. JUNIOR TOPIC—PauI Tells a King About Jesus. INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOPlC—Obedience to the Heavenly Vision. YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOPlC—Paul's Defense of His Mission. More than two years had elapsed since Paul had been tried before Felix, during which time Jewish hatred for him had not abated. As soon as Festus, the new governor, went to Jerusalem he was besieged with accusations against Paul. His accusers desired that he be brought to Jerusalem for trial. Intending to He in wait and kill him on the way. Festus refused their request, but agreed to give them an opportunity to accuse Paul if they would go down to Caesarea. They were unable to prove anything against him„ Festus, willing to please the Jews, proposed to send him to Jerusalem for trial. Paul rebuked Festus for ( this, declaring that he knew very well ■ that he was innocent. Seeing that it j was Impossible to get justice before Festus, Paul made use of his right as ; a Roman citizen and appealed to Caesar. This surprised Festus. His I failure to release an innocent man placed him in an awkward position for he could give no explanation as to why an Innocent man should go to Rome for trial. I. Paul Before the King (25:13-27). I The occasion of his appearing before Agrippa was the visit of Agrippa and Bernice to Festus. Upon their arrival they expressed a desire to hear Paul, whereupon Festus told them of his perplexity. So it was arranged that Paul be brought before them for examination. The gospel should be preached to h!1 regardless of wealth or station tn life. 11. Paul’s Defense Before Agrippa (26:1-27). 1. The Introduction (w. 1-3), He expressed his delight that he now could speak and tell his case to one who was able to follow his line of argument, for Agrippa was an expert in questions concerning the Jews; but most of all he was now happy in wit- I nessing to him of the Savior, and per- ' haps leading him into the light of God. 2. His Manner of Life (w. 4-12). This he showed had been in strictest accord with the most rigid sect of Jews. He possessed the same hope, ‘ 1. e.. that of a coming Deliverer, and reminded them of the fact that for- , merly he was most bitterly opposed to ■Christ as his zeal would prove. These ' facta made the change from a persecutor to an ardent advocate all the more remarkable. 3. His Supernatural Conversion (vv. 13-15). Jesus Christ appeared to him on the way to Damascus and revealed Himself to him. 4. Jesus Christ Commissioned Him for His Work (vv. 16-18). He was sent unto the Gentiles: (1) To open their eyes so awfully blinded. (2) To perform the blessed work of turning them from darkness to light. (3) To turn them from the power of satan unto God. (4) That they might receive forgiveness of sins. (5) And that they might obtain an inheritance among the saints. 5. His Consecration (vv. 19-23). As soon as he received his commission, he obeyed. Every man should instantly obey the call o f God and devote his life to carrying forward the work entrusted to him. The vigorous prosecution of his work brought him into conflict with the Jews, for which they sought to kill him. 6. The Interruption by Festus (v. 24). Seeing how thoroughly in earnest Paul was. Festus attempted to account for it by calling him a crank, attributing it to the ravings of an unbalanced mind. 7. Paul’s Appeal to Agrippa (vv. 25-27). Still maintaining his courage, he appealed to Agrippa’s knowledge of the work of Jesus and of the prophets, for they have an intimate connection. 111. Agrippa Almost Persuaded (vv. 28-32). Whether Agrippa’s answer was a contemptuous sneer or not, it is quite evident that his soul was'wrought upon. He saw the claim of Christ upon him but was unwilling to yield. Sad. indeed, that a man should be so near jto eternal life, and yet lost I Paul took Agrippa seriously. His heart j longed that Agrippa, and all concerned, might accept Christ and be saved. A Little New Wood In Longfellow’s declining years a friend asked him how it was possible ' for him to keep so energetic and write with such power. Pointing to an apple tree in bloom the poet replied: “That apple tree is very old, but I never saw i prettier blossoms on it than those It now bears. The tree grows a little | new wood each year, and I suppose it is out of that new wood that the blossoms come. Like the apple tree, I , try to grow a little new wood each year.” Always in Prayer Again and again throughout the day ; it is possible for us, by a conscious up- ! ward glance, to confirm the habit: I until it happens that the soul is al- ; ways in the posture of prayer—in business, in laughter, in trade, at home, or abroad, always in prayer—and therefore, in every part of the wide and varied battleground of life receiving the all-sufficient grace and love of God. —J. H. Jowett.
