The next morning I took Robert to the public school in our district. The teacher was very kind, and when I told her he had always been a private school pupil she congratu-~ lated me because of my making the change. "Not that I would say anything against private schools,' she said, "omt I think boys work harder, grow more manly when they mix with all sorts of boys, instead of just with those ef their own class. .But I am a public schol teacher, and one who taught in private schools might not have my views." I felt quite happy about him when I left my boy in her charge. Perhaps it would "be the best thing for him after all, this mixing with boys of middle class and poor parents, in- stead of the sons of wealthy fathers who indulged and often spoiled some of them. 1 talked with Neil oevr the tele- phone, telling him what I had done, and how happy both Robert and I were about it. He appeared depress. ed, und did aot respond with Sny en- thusiasm, 1 wondered how affairs were going. then recalled Mr. Freders ick's promise to keep me informed, 80 tried not to worry. As I look back .at this time in my life I can see how Mr. Frederick's efforts smoothed away many difficul- ties which but for him would have been almost insurmountable. But then my mind was too confused, I was too anxious about Neil to appre« ciate all or even a small part of what this dear friend was doing to help us--me, That was what it was, help- ing me. Yet even so I could not, 1 would. not refuse that help. because I knew it was Neil's salvation. And I loved Neil. We women are often like that. 1 was no exception. We will take of- ferings from those who care for us simply to further the interests of those we love. Mr. Frederick called me up and told me everything was going as well as could be expected, and that I was not to worry. 1 told him how Neil's indifference to Robert's school ¢hange' had made me anxious; and he reassured me. "Don't expect him to think much of anything until we get him out of the woods, I have taken all the nee- essary papers and books from the of- fice, and put a man in thereto ate ytend to the mail" {'Wihat of his @tenographer and bookkeeper?" '1 asked. "The Promoter's By Jane Phelps Wife re BARBARA IS RECONCILED TO THE PUBLIC SCHOOL FOR ROBERT ° "Discharged them both," loconi- cally, 1 couldn't help a little rush of gladness unworthy at it was. It is true I believe that when we do wrong, or something which in any way belittles us, that we are anxious to avold those who know of it. 1 never had 'felt comfortable about those two, since my trip to Neil's of- fice during his absence when I in. tended "to surreptitiously 'look: over his mail, although I never had seen either of them since, "You will keep the office going?" "For the present, yes, Mail may come for some time. Those circulars have had a wide distribution." How I hated the mention of thase glowing circulars. The extravagant language, the promises they contain. td, Promises they believed would be fulfilled, but which the men, Neil among them, knew never could be. 1 pictured ment and women poring over them, figuring how much they would make if they sént certain amounts to he invested, the interest they would receive, I fancied = many scrimping their ilving in many ways to buy the worthless stock, then look- around at my luxurious home, ex- pensive, beautiful, and all bought with their\money, and for the first time I hated it, Hated all this tux- ury I so loved, hated .the thought that I had selected each piece of fur- niture, each hanging, each bit of bric-a-brac. I longed to be rid of it all, to leave, "Have you put the advertisentent in the paper?" was my next ques- tion. "The house van be seen at any time." "No--I talked with Tearle. He Is coming to look at it to-morrow. I shall try to come With him." Vaguely 1 knew, as I thanked him and hung up the receiver, that he was coming so that he might help me, so that I might not be embar- rassed, Surely no one ever had so considerate a friend. As 1 walked slowly upstairs I sald to myself: "Were it mot that I loved Neil so dearly I might have cared for you."
