She was deciding her whole future-and she stopped, broke off in the middle of a sentence, her butterfly mind forgetting her decision, because she saw a lad- der starting over the instep of her expensive gray silk stocking!

She went on, holding out her pretty foot s0 she could see the possible extent of the ladder, and frowning at it with annoyance-

"Yes, he'd better write me if he's afraid to come and see me. I'll o West where it's easy to maua e; I'll save him all the trouble."

“Yes, that would be best," Mrs. Talbot surprised her by agreeing. "You're not the sort of wife for Luther. He needs a sensible solid sort of girl. someone to make him a good home, and have children.

Claire flushed with annoyance.

In her own mind she had accept- ed the separation. It was done-—lt was for the best. Her eyes had foll- owed Claire's to the little dropped stitch that meant the end of dollars worth of silk hose.

"I'm sure l could be an ideal wife, was-only Luther would get so jealous of every mun that look- ed at me! It was liis fault."

l\ll‘S. Talbot answered.

“I know it was. I've told him so. I think he'll do what you want. Now I've got to go home. Amy is going to have a party, and her dress l'l(‘Cll5 fixing-Claire. if you'll take off that stocking, I'll knit up that run, I can do it so it won't show."

Claire liked being waited OI1—lll(‘ cost of the ruined stocking was nothing to her. somehow money came and went easily in her pro- fession and she bud a good "part" in the new show that was rehears- ing. But over the knitting of the repairing of the stocking the two heads came together, Claire took o. lesson in bow to catch and pull the stitches through. and when Mrs. Talbot left she kissed her goodbye and felt she was her daughter again. Indeed, Claire bad called her "mother." _

It would be for the best!

Her religion had taught her that everything was for the best- though she never reconciled that somewhat easy going bit of philosophy with contrary events before. She had always worrled——— worrled—worried.

It was too bad-Claire was so sweet and so pretty. She had slid off the stocking. tucking her bare foot under her on the couch as she watched Mrs. Talbot work-a slend er little foot. whitemnd almost as delicate as her hands. with renlly beautiful nails-quest people had such ugly bare feet, she thought. Poor Claire-poor Luther-still. they weren't suited. They would be happier apart-perhaps Luther would go back to the farm and she could look after bim.

Every mother's love for a grown son has in it strange complicated elements-it is not only the love of a mother for n sou, but that of a wife for her husband. Jane would even have had added that it con- tained too some of the elements of mistress for lover. It was thelove that wants l0»p0SHE8—l0 serve-to dictate-to chum with and laugh. with and cry over. ,

Agreat love possesses all these elements. Jane felt exactly the same way toward Donald. she was so much more than his wife. Perhaps it was this feeling that Luther would come back to her and to her care again, that reconciled her to the idea of s separation. Per- haps it was because she honestly thought these two were miemated.
