LXVII?THE CRISIS.
Nancy stood staring In amazement
at the paper in her hand.
"What on earth does it mean?'
he rasped.
Dr. Langwell took It from her.
as* read it in a business-like way
His crisp, decisive, professional
manner had descended on him like
a Sfe**
"Who is Connie?" he asked.
"Curtis Stanley's wife. * Nan/y
answered absently.
"She would be likely to have in-1
ttmate knowledge of your affairs9'
Nancy made a little helpiess gesture
"Connie would make it her business
to fcav4"
The doctor smiled grimly.
Tfice person. Connie," he remarked.
^ot what could she mean by this
ridiculous message T Nancy persisted.
' "Why tell me to be bravet
And why. above all else, come to
Ctteftfo? Aren't there enough of
my friends here already?"
The doctor smiled.
"I should say there were to>
damned many." he raid softly; go
softly thst Edith, who had stopped,
playing, and sat on the piano bencr.
watching Nancy distressedly, did
not hear.
"I suppose.** said Nancy with a
sigh, "that the wretched Lewis baby
has burned up my apartment playins
with matches. Or else Semranis
has died of shock after lookiag
at his own portrait. You can't
be too careful of the nerves of a
Persian cat!"
"Nancy," began Edith, hesitantly,
"you don't think?you don't suppose
that anything has happened to your
husband T'
A little pang of fesr shot through
Nancy, but with the doctor's quissical
eyes directed on her. and
mindful that he knew of the cheque
found in Fleurette's handbag, she
managed a careless shrug.
"Hardly!" she remarked flippantly.
"Besides, why should Connie
be informed, and I his rightful
widow." she even essayed a little
laswh. "be left in the dark?"
Edith looked shocked, but the
doctor chuckled.
"It would rather simplify matters
for you where our friend the major
Is concerned."
Nancy shrugged, and crushed the
telerram into a little ball.
"Oh. well. I sha n't let it spoil my
dinner. I'll Just have to wait until
Connie shows up and deigns an explanation."
**Ck>od girl!" said the doctor, approvingly.
"That's the stuff. Didn't
I tell you you would make a good
nurse V
"One like Miss Dean?" queried
Nancy demurely.
The doctor looked at her squarely.
Again he wore that inscrutable expression
that reminded her so much
of the little image of Buddha on
a teak wood tabouret in her sitting,
room in New York.
Edith rose from the piano and
came over to Nancy, laying her slim
white hands on the latter's equally
white shoulders.
"My dear, I hope it's not bad
tt? ws." she said, anxiously. "But I
don't like to hear you speak so
lightly about your husband He has
gone on a long and dangerous Journey.
Something might happen to
him. you know."
Looking into Edith's eyes. Nancy
saw there a terrible fear, the dread
tfcat walked by Edith's side, that
somehow, somewhere. sometime.
Lasgwell might be taken from her.
To think of loving like that?
how beautiful?how awful," thought
Nancy.
"Well, let's go in to dinner," suggested
the doctor. "We will be better-Cortifled
to meet disaster.'*
Bdith shivered and glanced about
for her scarf.
"There seems to be an evil spell
on this house party. First, the accident
yesterday, and now this."
As if to emphasise her words.
Miss Dean, the nurse, appeared in
the doorway. Her maddening efflc*tracy,was
temporarily absent.

he advisability of her coins irtto

She says that she hesitates to go

giving up all the friends and
cquaintances of her whole life; not
tiat they especially look down upon

ridge tables instead of in office*,
hey merely live in a different world
nd there are not many bridges that
ross over from the habitat of the
tdustrious poor to that of the idle
ich.
Also, the girl says she is pretty
nd attractive, and she Is afraid that
le will jeopardize her chances of
tarrying if she becomes a busipess
rub instead of a society butterfly.
I say to the girl that if she deIres
to be really hapiy, and to exerience
the purest J?y on earth,
hich is self-respect, she ought to
o to work.
Of all miserable lots on earth.
one is so full of heart burning, and

ny other occupation on earth so

and establishments, the having to

She has to wheedle \ and
flatter cranky old ladies on the

Can there be any comparison in

stands on her own feet and earns
her own living? The one is dependent.

society friends when she goes to
work, but she will find that she has
achieved the peace that paaaeth

run the race comfortably with the
rich than the tortoise can with the
hare.
To live upon the bounty of others,
to eat their food, and ride in their
motors when you can make no return;
to let someone else pay your
wsy, weakens the moral fiber, and
turns the recipient into either a
parasite or an anarchist.
Tfie girl m-ho clings to her social
position in the hopes that she will
thereby make a big marriage, is
turning matrimony from the noblest
career a woman can follow to the
most despicable profession. She is
offering herself for sale as much as
if she were a slave in the bazaars,
and she seldom' makes a good bargain.

pretty, poor girl whose face is her
fortune, and whose family are still ,
on the hunt for somebody to take p
her off their hands. g
There is no other Clrl who has so 0I
pood a chance to^enarry well as the p
business girl. She is at the very b
source of supplies for matrimony,
for she is in the offices where men p
congregate The working girl meets 0
a hundred men. where the society s
girl meets one. She has the chance jto
know them Intimately that the
society girl never has, and in this fJ
close, daily Contact, if she has any o
graces of person, or heart, or mind, a
men notic* it.
Moreover, the very fact that the
girl is working shows that she is j,
not on the husband hunt, and that a
she .has enough character and intelligence
to support herself until ?
the right man comes along, and so e
a man is not afraid that he is being ^
grabbed up as a meal ticket when
he marries a business girl.
So 1 say to the business girl with s
blue blood and an empty pockct- J
took, go to work If you want to he a
happy A fern- society friends are ci
too high a price to pay for parasiteism
