Janet off at her home, he asks her
'*bout her stock and at something
iIn his tone she senses a new fear.
CHAPTER V
When Janet entered the apart-
ment, she found Aunt Mary and
ICynthia together in the living
xoom.
f At something conspiratorial in
;their faces they turned toward her
las she went in, her sopping shoes
*asking little squishy noises on the
polished floor, she laughed.
"What skulduggery are you two
up to now?" she demanded.
"Something' else I'm not supposed
'ilio know? After all, whose wed-
ding is this?"
"Not at all," said the old lady
briskly. "I didn't really intend
to tell you until after the marri-
age; but I suppose there'll be no
-peace now until you find out.
Since we shan't be needing so
witch ranee after you're gone, I'm
taking a. smaller, apartment next
Month,"
• Something::speciously cheerful
In the old lady's voice, and the
.hint of warning inthe swift glance
` iasttoward her granddaughter
.terceJs attentiontionl ... . .
"Where
are you going?" she
asked.
. , "I've ;been considering the Ava-
lon."
Janet paused in the act of re -
'moving her coat to turn inereda-
Iously.
"One of those chicken coops?"
she •cried. "But, Aunt Mary, you
couldn't stand being penned up
there! And what would you do
;With all your beautiful things?
They'd never fit in with that gin-
ger beady joint."
Don't Tempt Me
She looked about the charming
xoom, with its high ceiling, its
dignified vistas, its deep, rich rugs,
its books and gleaning mahogany.
t "It had occurred to me that you
and Lance might find room for
some of the larger pieces until
,fou have time to look around for
just what you want ... And in any
event," Aunt Mary finishe:l tartly,
3rthere lame: such institutions as
.storage vaults."
j "You'd better not tempt •me too
:lar. Aunt Mary. It will be years
efore Lance and I could find any-
thing as beautiful as some of your
heirlooms. But you night as well
put yourself in storage, too, as
.47 to live in one of those two-by-
four cells at the Avalon. You've
always said you couldn't breathe
in small rooms.
Cynthia spoke up aharply.
"You might as well know the
truth now as ever, Jan," she said.
"I told Grains you wouldn't like
her keeping it from you,"
"Cynthia," cid Mary Cantrell
!mapped, ."I forbade you!"
"Nonsense! , .. The bottom has
fallen out of Grant's trust come
parry, Jan. They've cut dividends.
She can't afford this place any
longer."
It was a moment befeoro Janet
'entirely undodstood. Then she
ivied, "I • don't • care if she can't.
='1 i ott're not goinl;to'movesone•inch,
;hunt ' Maty'. • Not while 1 have
more than enough—"
she had started to :jay, "Not
while I have more than enough
for both of us."
A Very Costly House
Then she remembered. If she
were to assume the payments on
the house, she was not at all sure
that she would have enough left
. even to make up the difference in
tkinit Mary's rent. It had devel-
bped into such a very costly house
--much too costly for two young
;people just starting out in life.
Jut Lance had felt that they must
have something in keeping with
!the dignity of a rising young arc-
hitect.
As Janet broke off, she wan mis-
erably aware of Cynthia's specie-
• lat^ive glanee. There was some-
"'
thing uncannily intuitive about
Cynthia.
"Well, at any rate," Janet fin-
ishe •ddesperately, "you're not go-
ing to do a thing until—but why,
of course! All we have to do is
to make a few very simple changes
in the plans for our house, and
you can have a separate apart-
ment there for yourself, Aunt
Mary."
"Not while I'm able to keep a
tent over my head," said Aunt
Mary grinily, ."do I go to live in
any other woman's house-- not
even yours, Janet ... And how,
may 1 ask, do you suggest that I
dispose of your cousin?"
"Why--" Janet faltered; then
she rushed on with reckless aban-
don, "why, Cyn would come, too,
of course."
"After making a- few more 'very
simple changes' in Lance's preci-
ous blueprint, I suppose?" Cyn-
thia's eyes_were wicked, • "And
wouldn't Lnce just love setting
up his. married life as proprietor.
of a three-way harem? No, my
dear little cousin. The time seems
to have come for Cynthia to give
some thought for carving out her
own destiny."
A Bit Dramatic
She knelt to poke the wood fire
with exaggerated care. When she
had finished, she continued to
stoop there, her slim hands tight-
ly clasped over one bent knee, her
graceful dark head bent.
"Rather stupid though," she fin-
ished almost as if to herself, "to
waste time thinking , Maybe
I'll actually de something about
it this time." •
Perhaps it was the flaring up of
the fire that made her seem sue-,
denly paler., so that the rouge lee
'nein her high 'cheekbones stood
• out in vivid triangles, and her eyes
in their deep shadows were
strangely bright . . . She got up
and strolled quite casually out of
the room; and a moment later
Janet heard her lazy voice laugh-
ing from the telephone in the hall
beyond.
"Still, against eating dinner
alone tonight? ... Well, you win
after all, Yes. I've changed my
mind ... Wasn't it clever of you
to know that I would? And'how
nice of me to allow you .to* be
right for once! ... Oh, no! I'm
no;: admitting yet that you were
right about—the rest of it, too
. . Well, later, then."
"Aunt Mary," Janet said in a
low tone, "what do you suppose
she meant? You know—about--"
"P,robabllr," said Auxet Mary,
"just about as much as Cynthia
ever means when she is in one eiE
her exalted moods and feeling a
bit dramatic. With her flair for
exits and entrances I'm surprised
she's 'never had leanings toward
the stage."
Which was as near as Aunt
Mary .often came to criticizing
her granddaughter.
Financial Matters Are Pressing'
"By the way," Mrs, Cantrell
went on, "the email just came.
/here's a young mountain for
you."
Janet went to the table and
shuffled through the head , ,
Parcels—more gifts, of course
^ . Notes :.. And an appalling
number of bills. She had never
dreamed there would be so many..
The telephone rang, and Cyn-
thia, answering, called frons the
hall, "Mr. Bryant Wants to speak
to you, Jan."
I%tr. Bryant, an o]•d friend of
'
attorney
Janet s father, was they
who had managed her modest fore
tune for her these Iast years.
• "Oh, Mr. Bryant," Janet said;
"I was Practically on my way to
call you. I'm afraid I'll have to
have a 'little extra money this
month if I'm to go to the altar an
honest woman. I haven't opened
iiiy bills yet, but I lknow'they're
terrifying" •
• On:orie or two Other. occasioz'4s
Mr. Bryant had cheerfully -: ar-
ranged advances for her.
"Why, I think it can be man-
aged," he said after a barely per.-
eeptible pause, "I suppose get-
ting married is an. expensive • busi-
nese. And hereafter you can let..
your husband- worry about tlxe
hills. That's .what husbands are
for—ha! ha! .... What'I wanted to
ask you is if you can •flied time to
run down to see me tomernow
morning. There are some,.nxatters
I thihik we ought to go into at .
this time."
Janet promised and hung up a
little impatiently.
In order to keep the appoint-
ment she would have to hurry the
dressmaker, skip the hairdresser,
and perhaps be unpardonably late
for a luncheon given in her honor.

Hospital Head Declares
"You can buy more brains in a
woman than you can in a man for
the same amount of money."
That statement made by F. A.
Altvater, superintendent of Duke
Hospital at Durham, N.C„ is back-
ed up by the report of the V. S. So-
cial Security Board.
It shows that women in cominer-
cila and industrial jobs during the
year 193 rsaeived and average
wage of $525, and oxen an average
wage of $1027.
Work Together in Harmony
Women never will even up those
figures until they learn to stick Lo-

Until women hire women lawyers

Until, unmarried women stop sid•

Until the women who are big
stockholders see that in their com-

the `saiue' wage scale; and that o-
