She has no ambition beyond having a good time and plenty of beaux. At twenty she fails \n her course at business callege, because nhe won't study. When her father dies she] takes a job in LILLIE DALE'S beauty shop at a tiny salary. MOMS, her mother, takes Lillie into her house to board when HELEN, the oldest daughter, marries BILL HEPWORTH. Then later, when CASSIE marries MORLEY KAUFMAN, her fich employer, she takes a MR. HEFFLINGER in to board, too. At that time Merry is having ths first real love affair of her life with TONY GAINES, a young lawyer who wants to marry her. Their engagement ends when Tony finds out that she has been running around with other men. A year later Merry hears that he is going to marry a girl in Montana, where he has gone to live. Moms accepts the middle-aged attentions of Mr. Hefflinger, and JINNY, the youngest of the girls, quarrels with her about it. Later she elopes with Derrick Jones, who lives next door, and goes to live with his parents. Through Morley Kaufman Merry meets BILL ERSKINE, a well-to- do bachelor. Bill falls in love with her fresh beauty and they become en- gaged. But for one reason and another he keeps.putting off the wedding day. Finally he promises to marry her, when he returns from Florida, where he is going to stay with his mother and his sick father for a few month*. During his absence Merry meets an old sweetheart of hers, LES PURCELL. Not knowing that he is married, she sees a great deal of him. His wife threatens him with divorce and finally tries to kill herself. When Bill Erlcine comes to town for a party given by Cassis and Morley in their fine new home, MURIEL KAUFMAN tells him about it, and Bill is furious. Merry does not hear from him for a long time. Then he writes to tell her that his father is dead and that as soon as he settles his mother's affairs in Florida he will eome to see her and they'll be married in the early summer. Merry talks it over with Helen t who is expecting a second baby, one night when Bill Hepworth is out of town. Helen says no woman is truly happy who is not happily married.

She had a coat on over her kimono and her hair was dragged back tightly from her white face. "Merry," she said, turning on the lights, "I'm going to the hospital. I've phoned for the cab." She caught her breath and her eyes darkened with sharp and sud- den pain. Then, with an effort, she went on: "Mother Hepworth will be over first thing in the morning and she knows Just what to do for the baby. So if you'll Just give it its six o'clock bot- tle—" She choked up and closed her eyes to keep back the tears that sparkled in them. "I wish Bill were, here." she said presently, in a smothered voice. "I feel so—alone—without him." Her words were coming in jerks, now, and she breathed hard. 'Too bad—he had to go away just now, wasn't It?—I need him so—" She started down the stairs as the taxlcab came roiling up outside in the dark street Merry followed her, Moms. She had spoken only of want ing Bill Hepworth, her husband. "Funny thing," Merry went on thinking, as she looked at the moon, small and silvery and high in the sky. "Funny thing that a man can mean more to a woman than her own mother—** She turned back to the living room, and stood there In the middle of it, wondering If a little house like this would ever be Heaven to her, as this undoubtedly was to Helen. She wondered if ever she would care for a man as Helen cared for Bill Hepworth—to care for him so much that it was joy to scrub the floors of his house, keep its windows bright put a garden around it and peace and contentment within it She found herself shaking her head, as she went slowly back up stairs to bed, "I never could do it for Bill Erskine, anyway," she told herself. When she looked forward to her marriage with Bill, she looked for- ward to the things he would give her.

A little jewel- case of an automobile—all shiny glass and paint and leather, with a cut-glass vase of flowers and a cigaret lighter and'vanity case in the side, under the door. But when she thought of actual marriage with Bill—of living with Bill—she just stopped thinking of it! Merry never let her mind dwell on unpleasant things, If she could help it. "He's not exactly the man of my dreams," she admitted to herself, lying in the darkness of Helen's spare bedroom. But what else was there to do but to go ahead and marry him? As Moms said, he had "taken up two years of her time." Everybody was sure she was going to marry him. And besides who else was there in sight to marry? That night Helen's second baby— a little girl—was born. It lived only two hours, and the next morning at dawn Helen, died, too. Her death stunned the whole family. For weeks Moms went around the bouse, dry-eyed and dazed-look- ing as if she couldn't realize what had happened. ^ill Hepworth took himself and his baby back to his father's house, and early in April the little house on Wandsworth road was sold just as it stood — furniture and all — to a family with five children. The little house that had been an earthly Para- dise to Helen. "We might haye bought It and gone there to live instead of staying in this old barn," Mr. Hefflinger re- marked to Moms and Merry one morning at breakfast. Outside the silvery wash of an April shower was turning the yard to emerald green. The leaves were just beginning to show themselves on the big willow tree at the gate. The old place had never looked so pretty to Merry's eyes as It looked that spring. She shook her head at Mr. Hef- flinger. , "Oh, no, Mr. Hefflinger!*' she said. "We just never could move out of this house until' after I'm married— I never could be married any place but here in father's and mother's house." Moms was frowning at her from behind the coffee percolator .She had asked Merry, time and time again, j not to mention Dad's name before Mr. Hefflinger. "When do you expect to be mar- ried?" Moms' second husband asked heavily. "It seems to me you've been getting married ever since I've lived in this house." Merry flushed and bit her lip. "I'm ygtdng to be married some time this summer," she said faintly. She did not speak of her wedding with the same air of triumph that she might have mentioned it a year before. It had been put off so many times that she, herself, had her doubts of its ever coming off. e e e e e When she got home that night there was a letter from Bill for hsr on the hall table. She read it, standing there in the hall. Then she read It again. In its way, it was a masterpiece. "My dear Merry," it ran. "I have been thinking about us—about you and me—a great deal lately. "And I'have finally made up my mind to ask you to think things over as seriously as I have been doing. By 'things,' I mean our marriage, of [ course. "My dear girl, do you think that you and I are really suited to one an- j other, after all? I very much doubt it. "You are barely twenty-two. I am getting dangerously close to forty-: five. To the time of life when a man i wants to settle dqwn. "Nothing looks so good to me, at my time of life, as my own fireside. And that would never satisfy you.! Merry. You thrive on excitement, the ; bright lights, gayety and attention, not from one man, but many men. "If you could not settle down to one man during your engagement; what would you do in the dullness i of married life? Take your love af-) fairs with the married man whose wife tried to kill herself. If you had : really cared for me, would you have had that little affair? Would you have run around with young Cabby > Marsh, as Muriel tells me you have, been running around with him? On the sly. "Frankly, Merry. I do not believe you are ready for marriage. I do not believe you would make the kind of wife I want my wife to be. "When 1 am with you. you attract me, charm me in a good many ways. You run away with my better judg- \ menL "But when I am away from you,; and I have time to think things over, I feel sure you are not the woman t for me. I have been feeling this way about you for the last seven or eight \ months. That is why I put off our marriage, last September, to tell you the plain truth. "I do not want you to answer this : letter right away. I want you to think : over wtiat I have written to you, be- I fore yau give me your answer. "Xott realize, of course, that the whole thing is up to you. "Very sincerely yours, | "WILLIAM H. ERSKINE." Wheo she had finished reading the | letter" for the second time, Merry carriei it upstairs with her. She locked the door of her bed- room and sat down on the bed to read it again—with the eight scat- tered out in frOnt of her on the snowy counterpane. One sentence seemed to leap out at her from them: "If you had cared for m«, would you have run around with Cabby Marsh, as Muriel says you have been running around with him?" Her lip curled scornfully as she looked at Muriel Kaufman's written name. It was Muriel who had done this tiling to her! Jealous, catty lit- tle Muriel, who had told Bill about Nonla Purcell and about Cabby Marsh! "She's been jealous of me ever' since that time w T hen Cabby kissed ! me, up at the Crow's Nest," thought Merry in the bitterness of her heart; "jealous of me, because I'm prettier than she is; because I can get 'most any man I want!" Well, that was one comfort, any- way. That she could attract almost any man she cared to attract. "And Bill Erskine Isn't the only fish in the ocean!" Merry said to herself, as she put the letter away in a wooden box where she kept all the oBoer letters that Bill had writ- ten to her. The other ones that he had signed "Yours forever 'n'ever, Billy,* and "Yours 'till the cows come home, Bill." Ths next morning, as soon as Mer- ry hejird her mother stirring around down stairs, she got up and went down''to the kitchen in her kimono and bedroom slippers. "Wall!" Moms fairly exploded with surprise, "what gets you up so early . in thi morning?" "Tals," Merry answered, and tossed Bill's letter on the table. Moms, who was cutting bread, only looked at it from beneath raised brows. "Waat did Bill have to say?" she asked; and in a dull toneless voice Merry told her what he had to say. "Ha doesn't want to marry me. He thinks I'm too gay for him." Moms snorted. "Humph!" said she. "It's taken him a good while to find It out. Hasn't it?" She brandished her bread-knife as if it were a short-sword or some other kind of battle knife. "Marry, I've told you all along that this Nyery think would happen, haven't I?" she asked. "I've told you that six months is plenty long enough for two people to be engaged to each ©ther. There ought to be a law against long engagements! No man has any business taking up a girl's time unless he intends to marry her!" She banged an Iron frying pan down on the stove. "Erskine is too old for you, and I've always said so. I'd be a lot hap- pier tf you had taken up with some- one your own age. But you didn't— and if he thinks he's going to toss you aside now like an old glove he's mighty mistaken!" Merry glanced up at her with a quick, puzzled look. "What can we do about It, Moms?" she asked. "There's nothing to do that 1 can see." Moms gave another snort. "I didn't expect you to!" she answered in her short, sharp way. "But there areVtwo things that I can think of right now, SENTENCE SERMONS By the Rev. Roy E. Smith.

READ THIS FIRST: MERRY LOCKE, pritty and gay as her name, is a born flirt. She

has no ambition beyond having a good time and plenty of beaux. At twenty she fails \n her course at business callege, because nhe won't study. When her father dies she] takes a job in LILLIE DALE'S beauty shop at a tiny salary.

MOMS, her mother, takes Lillie into her house to board when HELEN, the oldest daughter, marries BILL HEPWORTH. Then later, when CASSIE marries MORLEY KAUFMAN, her fich employer, she takes a MR. HEFFLINGER in to board, too.

At that time Merry is having ths first real love affair of her life with TONY GAINES, a young lawyer who wants to marry her. Their engagement ends when Tony finds out that she has been running around with other men. A year later Merry hears that he is going to marry a girl in Montana, where he has gone to live.

Moms accepts the middle-aged attentions of Mr. Hefflinger, and JINNY, the youngest of the girls, quarrels with her about it. Later she elopes with Derrick Jones, who lives next door, and goes to live with his parents.

Through Morley Kaufman Merry meets BILL ERSKINE, a well-to-do bachelor. Bill falls in love with her fresh beauty and they become en­gaged. But for one reason and another he keeps.putting off the wedding day. Finally he promises to marry her, when he returns from Florida, where he is going to stay with his mother and his sick father for a few month*. During his absence Merry meets an old sweetheart of hers, LES PURCELL. Not knowing that he is married, she sees a great deal of him. His wife threatens him with divorce and finally tries to kill herself. When Bill Erlcine comes to town for a party given by Cassis and Morley in their fine new home, MURIEL KAUFMAN tells him about it, and Bill is furious. Merry does not hear from him for a long time. Then he writes to tell her that his father is dead and that as soon as he settles his mother's affairs in Florida he will eome to see her and they'll be married in the early summer. Merry talks it over with Helent who is expecting a second baby, one night when Bill Hepworth is out of town. Helen says no woman is truly happy who is not happily married.

"Merry," she said, turning on the lights, "I'm going to the hospital. I've phoned for the cab."

She caught her breath and her eyes darkened with sharp and sud­den pain.

Then, with an effort, she went on: "Mother Hepworth will be over first thing in the morning and she knows Just what to do for the baby. So if you'll Just give it its six o'clock bot­tle—" She choked up and closed her eyes to keep back the tears that sparkled in them.

"I wish Bill were, here." she said presently, in a smothered voice. "I feel so—alone—without him." Her words were coming in jerks, now, and she breathed hard.

'Too bad—he had to go away just now, wasn't It?—I need him so—"

She wondered if ever she would care for a man as Helen cared for Bill Hepworth—to care for him so much that it was joy to scrub the floors of his house, keep its windows bright put a garden around it and peace and contentment within i t

She found herself shaking her head, as she went slowly back up stairs to bed, "I never could do it for Bill Erskine, anyway," she told herself.

When she looked forward to her marriage with Bill, she looked for­ward to the things he would give her. The beautiful house, the lovely

clothes, the kind of automobile she had always longed for. A little jewel-case of an automobile—all shiny glass and paint and leather, with a cut-glass vase of flowers and a cigaret lighter and'vanity case in the side, under the door.

But when she thought of actual marriage with Bill—of living with Bill—she just stopped thinking of it! Merry never let her mind dwell on unpleasant things, If she could help it.

"He's not exactly the man of my dreams," she admitted to herself, lying in the darkness of Helen's spare bedroom.

But what else was there to do but to go ahead and marry him? As Moms said, he had "taken up two years of her time." Everybody was sure she was going to marry him. And besides who else was there in sight to marry?

That night Helen's second baby— a little girl—was born. It lived only two hours, and the next morning at dawn Helen, died, too.

Her death stunned the whole family. For weeks Moms went around the bouse, dry-eyed and dazed-look­ing as if she couldn't realize what had happened.

^ i l l Hepworth took himself and his baby back to his father's house, and early in April the little house on Wandsworth road was sold just as it stood — furniture and all — to a family with five children. The little house that had been an earthly Para­dise to Helen.

"We might haye bought It and gone there to live instead of staying in this old barn," Mr. Hefflinger re­marked to Moms and Merry one morning at breakfast.

Outside the silvery wash of an April shower was turning the yard to emerald green. The leaves were just beginning to show themselves on the big willow tree at the gate. The old place had never looked so pretty to Merry's eyes as It looked that spring.

She shook her head at Mr. Hef­flinger. ,

"Oh, no, Mr. Hefflinger!*' she said. "We just never could move out of this house until' after I'm married— I never could be married any place but here in father's and mother's house."

Moms was frowning at her from behind the coffee percolator .She had asked Merry, time and time again, j not to mention Dad's name before Mr. Hefflinger.

"When do you expect to be mar­ried?" Moms' second husband asked heavily. "It seems to me you've been getting married ever since I've lived in this house."

Merry flushed and bit her lip. "I'm ygtdng to be married some time this

summer," she said faintly. She did not speak of her wedding

with the same air of triumph that she might have mentioned it a year before. It had been put off so many times that she, herself, had her doubts of its ever coming off.

e e e e e When she got home that night

there was a letter from Bill for hsr on the hall table.

She read it, standing there in the hall.

Then she read It again. In its way, it was a masterpiece. "My dear Merry," it ran. "I have

been thinking about us—about you and me—a great deal lately.

"And I 'have finally made up my mind to ask you to think things over as seriously as I have been doing. By 'things,' I mean our marriage, of [ course.

"My dear girl, do you think that you and I are really suited to one an- j other, after all? I very much doubt it.

"You are barely twenty-two. I am getting dangerously close to forty-: five. To the time of life when a man i wants to settle dqwn.

"Nothing looks so good to me, at my time of life, as my own fireside. And that would never satisfy you.! Merry. You thrive on excitement, the ; bright lights, gayety and attention, not from one man, but many men.

"If you could not settle down to one man during your engagement; what would you do in the dullness i of married life? Take your love af-) fairs with the married man whose wife tried to kill herself. If you had : really cared for me, would you have had that little affair? Would you have run around with young Cabby > Marsh, as Muriel tells me you have, been running around with him? On the sly.

"Frankly, Merry. I do not believe you are ready for marriage. I do not believe you would make the kind of wife I want my wife to be.

"When 1 am with you. you attract me, charm me in a good many ways. You run away with my better judg- \ menL

"But when I am away from you,; and I have time to think things over, I feel sure you are not the woman t for me. I have been feeling this way about you for the last seven or eight \

months. That is why I put off our marriage, last September, to tell you the plain truth.

"I do not want you to answer this : letter right away. I want you to think : over wtiat I have written to you, be-I fore yau give me your answer.

"Xott realize, of course, that the whole thing is up to you.

"Very sincerely yours, | "WILLIAM H. ERSKINE."

Wheo she had finished reading the | letter" for the second time, Merry

carriei it upstairs with her. She locked the door of her bed­

room and sat down on the bed to read it again—with the eight scat­tered out in frOnt of her on the snowy counterpane.

One sentence seemed to leap out at her from them: "If you had cared for m«, would you have run around with Cabby Marsh, as Muriel says you have been running around with h i m ? "

Her lip curled scornfully as she looked at Muriel Kaufman's written name. It was Muriel who had done this tiling to her! Jealous, catty lit­tle Muriel, who had told Bill about Nonla Purcell and about Cabby Marsh!

"She's been jealous of me ever ' since that time wThen Cabby kissed ! me, up at the Crow's Nest," thought Merry in the bitterness of her heart; "jealous of me, because I'm prettier than she is; because I can get 'most any man I want!"

Well, that was one comfort, any­way. That she could attract almost any man she cared to attract.

"And Bill Erskine Isn't the only fish in the ocean!" Merry said to herself, as she put the letter away in a wooden box where she kept all the oBoer letters that Bill had writ­ten to her. The other ones that he had signed "Yours forever 'n'ever, Billy,* and "Yours 'till the cows come home, Bill."

Ths next morning, as soon as Mer­ry hejird her mother stirring around down stairs, she got up and went down''to the kitchen in her kimono and bedroom slippers.

"Wall!" Moms fairly exploded with surprise, "what gets you up so early

. in t h i morning?" "Tals," Merry answered, and tossed

Bill's letter on the table. Moms, who was cutting bread,

only looked at it from beneath raised brows.

"Waat did Bill have to say?" she asked; and in a dull toneless voice Merry told her what he had to say.

"Ha doesn't want to marry me. He thinks I'm too gay for him."

Moms snorted. "Humph!" said she. "It's taken him a good while to find It out. Hasn't it?"

She brandished her bread-knife as if it were a short-sword or some other kind of battle knife.

"Marry, I've told you all along that this Nyery think would happen, haven't I?" she asked. "I've told you that six months is plenty long enough for two people to be engaged to each ©ther. There ought to be a law against long engagements! No man has any business taking up a girl's time unless he intends to marry her!"

She banged an Iron frying pan down on the stove.

"Erskine is too old for you, and I've always said so. I'd be a lot hap­pier tf you had taken up with some­one your own age. But you didn't— and if he thinks he's going to toss you aside now like an old glove he's mighty mistaken!"

Merry glanced up at her with a quick, puzzled look.

"What can we do about It, Moms?" she asked. "There's nothing to do that 1 can see."

Moms gave another snort. "I didn't expect you to!" she answered in her short, sharp way. "But there areVtwo things that I can think of right now,
