ering this lady would be noticeable, for she
has modest distinction which is exceed
ingly attractive. Mrs. Young wore a hand

Diets and garnished with black lace Beau
tiful gems flashed from her hands, and a
brooch of magnificent opals caught the
laceS at her throat.
Mrs. Young is very accessible to stran-
gers, receiving women tourists with the
affability and grace of a duchess She is
perfectly willing to talk about her belief,
life and interests. Naturally the first ques-
ton put to her was, do you still believe
that polygamy is right"
I why, of course" returned the lady.
with the smile of quiet amusement which
lighted up her face at each one Of my ques-
tions, ''of course. Once believing it, why
should 1 change my belief;''
DO you think the Bible sanctions it,"
Most certainly"
And you consider the Book of Nor

Two Wonen's Views,
"Were you Mr.. Young's last wife,
| NO My husband was married twice
after he married me-"
Did not you feel dreadfully7''
NO. l don't think that it disturbed me
in the least
Good heavens! would have scratched
my husband eyes OUT
Mrs. Young laughed outright. That's
because you do not believe as do
But weren't you jealous Of each other?
Weren't there quarrelings and chickering's
among you?'
Why should there be? We were one
family. l loved Mr. Young's wives like
sisters. Here"-turning to "a photograph

widows living We were all together last
Thanksgiving and had delightful reun-

But, loving your husband as you did,
how could you share his affection and So
ciety with others,'
Mr.. Young met his entire family twice
a day-at morning and evening devo-

meals. Thus he saw great deal of his
family. His children adored him and
went to him with their condolences quite
as much as though there was an exclu-
dren. II mother were away. there was
no danger of her children suffering. for
the other mothers looked after them as if
they were their own. / had no children,
which is the regret Of my life, but the
children of Mr.. Young's other wives were
fond of coming 10 my apartments and
would sometimes pass an entire day with
me, and loved TO take care of them.
