And It might be weeks and weeks before she saw him again! She flung her arms about him, "Don't say goodby, Sweetheart! Just good-night. She kiBsed him swiftly, and ran up the stairs. He waited on the sidewalk until the door had closed behind her. She did cot turn, to wave. And ho knew it was because she was crying. That night she wrote Jack, and mailed it, next morning, with a spe cial delivery stamp. It wae in the office in New York, waiting for him when he reached there. She also wrote her family, tell ing thfm at length o.f her "per fectly marvelous opportunity," her desire to be independent and self supporting, and her determination to be happy through self-expression. She mentioned also her dreams of success and fame. It W23 a rather stiff letter, sue was afraid, and she felt that she had not expressed herself very well. She sent it by air mail, and hoped for the best. A few days later she received a reply from her mother. Now, Molly's mother was a rath er old-fashioned woman. She had no new fangled ideas about inde pendence nor gainful occupations for women. Moreover, she was, at the tune, a very lonely woman. "Dear daughter," she wrote. "Dad brought your letter from the postoffice this noon when he came home for dinner. It was strange, the way it arrived just as it did. I had spent the morning preparing a paper to read at the ednesday club. We are having a debate this week : Resolved, that the Modern Girl is Happier than Her Grand mother. I bad token the negative. And it so happened that I had re id recently an article in a mag azine by Bome well known women writer. I forget her name at the moment "Well, daughter, she said some thing like this "The point is,' she said," 'that there are grades in hap piness, asd that the inferior kind based trpon selfishness, competi tion and publicity may make the modern woman happier; but it is not so becoming to her, nor so ben eficial to others, as the frugal happiness enjoyed by her grand mother.' "My dear daa ghter, your father and I believed that you were en gaged to ft fine young man whom we had hoped to meet this sum mer. We had thought our little girl was coming home to us, and we had planned such lovely times to have together. I bad put your name up, dear, for the Woman's club, and your poor father has been planning to Duy you a little car. -However, I do not wish to emphasize our own disappointment. But what about your young man. Molly? Have you, for the sake of securing more liberty, and a wisp or two of indignant personal hap- Siness, broken your promise to im, as well as sacrificing your loyalty to us? "My dear child, your poor annt Minnie would turn in her grave if she could know what her money has led you to. And. a position on a newspaper of all things! Tou write ot the Joy of living, and of self-expression. Your aunt Minnie certainly derived considerable sat isfaction from living all her days without reproach. She was never heard to worry about self-expression. She believed that she ex pressed herself very welL "She Imparted a dignity, a spir itual elegance which younger women do not feel, being obsessed with the fear of being enslaved and sup pressed.' I have quoted that, Molly, as best I can from the article by the magazine writer, because it so exactly expresses what I would like to snv to you . . ." Mollv dropped the letter impatiently- "If that isn't Just like mother!" she thought unreasonably. Then a figure on the back page ca light her attention. "S500." She snatched the paper up hurriedly. Her mother had written, toward the end of the letter. "Your father and I have talked things over, and have derided not to stand In your way. After all you have, I sup pose, a right to pursue happiness In your own fashion. Aunt Minnie s estate will not be settled for some weeks. But your father Is going to send you ?500, to. defray what ever expenses you may have, until such time ns the executor sends you your entire inheritance . Molly's eyes filled with tears. "Dear old dad!" "And now," she decided Joyously. T can take a little apartment! I can have a kitchenette all my own, and a nice big bath!"
