humble The husband may serve his
wife but not at all in the way the p. r
serves Madame. The husband in many
ways delightful is luxury The p r. is
a necessity. Madame long ago made
her choice of the two careers open to
her, in one of which the husband is
concomftant circumstance, and the
other the p R., and resolved to be first
musician and then wife. She must
have made this choice whether DELHI
erateiy or unconsciously. tacitly or
avowedly, or she could not have
achieved the fame she has now reached
and be travelling in her own private car
with two maids, a canary bird, cocker
spaniel a companion and the Personal
Representative.
If the course of years and the exac-
lions of her profession finally dena nd
ed of Madame that she sacrifice the du-
ties of wife altogether to those Of ar
tiste it is only what she long ago resign

grets little she can not say that it was
not for the best. 1t was her choice, and
yet it was not of her choosing. It Is
as though her choice were made for her.

And so there be many who can not
ind their souls satisfaction in the
career of wife and mother only And
there be some who must sacrifice this
career altogether to some other need of
their natures Is it a higher need? There
will always be those who will dise1aim
