Catherine finally accepts the position. She hires a children's nurse in addition to her working housekeeper. From her personal salary, she pays all the extra household expenses, leaving her practi- cally where she was in the beginning financially. Never mind, however, she is successful and happy. Catherine takes a month's trip for some investigation work. She has just about settled down, and everything is running smoothly in a business way, when she receives a telegram from her husband saying that their boy has been seriously hurt. She drops everything, rushes back home, and nurses the boy back to health. The household runs along now just about as it was when she was a housewife. The husband as- sumes that she is not returning to busi- ness. Catherine weighs the pros and cons, and finally decides that the heart- string pull is greater than any other. Reluctantly and a little hopelessly she resigns herself to settling down as the wife of a Professor in a small city. Josephine Oakes Wheeler.
