, ,Mrs. Monday was just on ‘the wrong side of fifty, but a rigid and pystematic daily routine of faclais gsidmassages and exercises gave user, at first glance, the appearance plwhirty-five. She was a woman of extraordinary energy. Her abrupt question left no doubt in Lee's mind that she had “had information," as she phrased it, ~and had promptly told her doctor to go to the ‘lei/ll and caught the next plane East.

Her son had known no more about the cozlsuhation than she had, but Mrs. Monday was no less krltated by the delay. Lee had said seven o'clock. It was now after sev- m.

" For half an hour they sat in the poorly lighted room, staring at un- seen objects, thinking thoughts which, unknown to them both. cen- tered on the same young man . . . Entering the lobby downstairs, Ann had encountered Lee's day nurse ‘Just going off duty and the nurse had told her, "There's a consulta- flan on in Mr. Monday's room.

So it was" that while Lee's mother tapped hlaflchin and considered how she might definitely blast her son's in- tutuation for a. gold-digger govcm- meet clefk, the little government clerk sat some ten feet away deeply troubled by the thought that Lee might carry a reminder of their mountain crash to the end of his life. :..‘Mrs. Monday cleared her throat again. The silence and the girl's sor- mudul expression were beginning to gear on her nerves . . . Now Ann looked up and met the older woman's gaze, and smiled.

read it after her return to Wash- ington. "Yes," she said. "I thought it very good, but a good deal over- rated. The author apparently want- ed to convey the idea that Miriam wu typical of her generation!“

"You think she was not?"

Ann smiled. "Miriam was about my age." she said. "Of all the 8W8 I know, I can think of but one who would put material considerations before love. Miriam was what they are now calling a gold-digger. She had no regard for convention, or even simple decency. To her mar- riage was merely a means to an end. And when she did finally marry the man who knew nothing of her past, it was his money and his social prestige that she wanted . . . My generation isn't like that. No more than yours is."

"I'm afraid," said Mrs. Monday, "you do not know your generation Have you ever lived ln New York?"

"No. I grew up in a small town. I've never lived in any city but. Washington-and only a short time here."

“I guessed as much. Anyone can look at you and see that you haven't been contaminated by contact with unwholesome influences. But when you speak for your generation, my child, you unintentionally pretend a knowledge you could not possible possess. ‘Girls in Mink’ was admir- ably true to life and your Miriam wu", I regret to say, the counterpart of an alarming number of girls your age . . . You think, perhaps 1 am too far removed from your age to know, but I have just come from California to deal with a girl of Mlriam's type-a gold-digger, as you say - a shrewd, scheming little female who has set her head on marrying my son and has succeed- ed in persuading him that he is in love with her."

Ann's voice was earnestly sympa- thetic, yet dubious. "But mightn't you be wrong-about this girl? She doesn't admit that she is trying to marry your son for his money, of course?"

Mrs. Monday shrugged, impat- iently. "Naturally not - ough I haven't talked with her. I hope to see her within the next twenty-four hours and make her a very gener- ous offer." _

“An offer?" Ann said puzzled.

“Money, child. That's what she

wants, isn't it?" ‘ Ann gripped the sides of the chair and gazed down at her extended toes, thoughtfully. After a time ‘she looked up. "I don't think you're being quite fair," she said.

A hospital orderly looked in the door. "You can see Mr. Monday now,” he mumbled.

Mrs. Monday rose- Ann rose. "I hope," said the older woman, "I haven't bored you with my troub- les." She came across the room and held out her hand. "You're a very sensible girl and I only wishiMy dear—-you're illl" She put her hands on Ann's arms. "Why didn't

In the corridor they halted. Leelsl room was to the right, the stairs and elevator to the left. Ann's face was a study of indecision as she stood there. When she spoke, her voice‘ was low and husky. 1

"Are you Lee's mother?"

The older woman's eyes widened, but after a moment she said, “Yes. I am Lee's mother. You are a friend of his?" I

Ann did’ not answer the question. "Will you give him this, please?"

Staring, Mrs. Monday held up an open palm.

"And tell him I'm sorry."

She was racing down the stairs before Lee Monday's mother real- ized that the tiny object in her hand was a rather lovely engagement, ring. i

That night Ann told Rita she thought they had imposed upon‘ Mollie much too long. Rita balked.‘ Mollie. she said, insisted she want- ed them there, so why move? . . .‘ It was the next morning that Rita‘ discovered Ann had not slept in her‘ bed. There was a note propped up against the telephone. Mollie fiund it there and read it aloud:

"Please tell anyone who asks for me I have gone away for on ln- definite stay. And don't be too hard on me for running off. Perhaps I'll be able to explain some day. l

Ann."

Two hours later Rita found Ann in her usual place at the Census oflice,;but she would not discuss what she had done. "If our friend- ship means anything," she said, "let me work this thing out alone. And don't, please bring me messages from anyone."

Though completely baffled, Rita eed to respect her wishes "ButF—-" she could not help but say "——if you're running away from Lee, you're a little fool, Ann."

Lee left with his mother for Cali- fornia on Thanksgiving Day. A week later Ann reappeared at the apart-

INDUSTRIAL IIOMEWORK IN U.S. CONDEMNED

’ WASHINGTON, Oct. l8 — A sweeping crndemnation of indust- rial homework was voiced today by the women's bureau of the Uulted States Labor Departmmt which estimated that such ‘abo: is carried on in at lea't 77,000 homes "where poverty prevents thc development of any bargaining power.’

Regulation cf homework "has been mafllly for the purpose of safeguardinz the consumer rather than of protecting the homework- ers." the bureau said in urging abclizhment of this form cf in- dustry.

A survey, under the direction of Mary Anderson. women's bureau director, developed the u clusion that "when a home maker becomes an industrial hnmeworker. she must subordinate all h'me demands to the demands of industry." The}: results were found: Negrct of fam- ily; forcing ysung children to as- sist; use of living or sleeping rooms as lndust-ial work space to the det- riment of faml‘_v social life; lat/s working hours with bad effect on dcmoralizatlon cf‘ the home as the family shelter from the strain of the outside world.
