appointed sexton of the chapel at the

THE CHANGE OF LIFE

Is the most important period in a wo-
mans existence. Owing to modern
methods of living, not one woman il
a thousand approaches this perfectly
natural change without experiencing
a train of very annoying and some
times painful symptoms.
Those dreadful hot flashes, sending
the blood surging to the heart until it
seems ready to burst, and the faint
feeling that follows, sometimes with
chills, as if the heart were going to
stop for good, are symptoms of dam
gerous, nervous trouble. Those hot
flashes are just SO many calls from
nature for help. The nerves are cry

time was just beginning to carpet the
land when We went to it. and in that
miracle not even the rambling old
house. with its falling pillars and
weed-choked drives could seem any
thing but beautiful.
1t had been a stately old colonial
mansion in its palmy days. known far
and wide as The L0custs," from the

encroaching year by year upon the I'M
titled acres until the house stood vir-
tually in the midst of a vast locust
thieket- It was now in full bloom
and from every twig depended great
snowy plumes, that waved in the soft
spring breeze and made the air heavy
with their perfume
From the moment of our arrival
Arthur began to improve. and it was
while he was in the first flush of re-
turning health and happiness that he
painted his famous picture, Spring,
and into it he somehow put some OF
that riotous joy in mere living we all
feel when we have been down to the
doors Of death, and are recovering, and
every breath brings with it the thrill
OF returning strength. The picture
was very simple. Just the figure OF a
woman standing amidst the tender
green OF tie trees. with upstretched
arms. and all about her the white.
white rain of locust blooms. and on
her face the iuefable glory Of youth
and love-th2t look that never comes
but once in a lifetime, when the
springtime of the heart meets the
springtime Of the year.
When the picture was done Arthur
sent it to the exposition, where, as
you remember, it was the sensation of
the year and sold for what seemed to
us little fortune. Better still, it at
tracted the attention of an old college
friend of whom Arthur had lost sight
and who. coming South on business.
dropped off To make US a little visit.
He was q shrewd man OF affairs. and
when he saw our locust thicket, he
fairly gasped with surprise.
1t is a little gold mine,' he said.
where did you get it?" and 1 told him
of how the worthless old acres had
been allotted me in the division
of the family estate, when l was a
baby and had no one TO look out for
my interests, and how they had been
left 10 grow up as they would.
Well" he said. with a grim smile.
the wicked sisters don't always sue
coed in doing Cinderella, you may re-
member, after all, and your barren
acres have grown into a fortune" and
so indeed they had. Our business
friend sold cur locust forest to rail-
road company, and we have long been
back in the city. where we have a
charming home. and where Arthur is
winning the recognition his talent de-
serves.
he is now engaged in painting my
aunt's portrait. and that-from my
aunt-is equivalent to a melodramatic
blessing, with tears.
