The Emotional Woman.

1t is not often the woman who sits in the
theater and sheds tears over the sad plight
of the heroine in the play who is tenderest
and most sympathetic in her own family
circle; nor is the girl who would stop an
angry driver from beating his horse the one
who is most kind to her small brothers and
sisters at home. Public demonstrations OF
emotion are not as deep as the feelings
which well up and overflow when their pos
SCISSOR is in private.
In the early Victorian period women
shrieked and wept and had Mysteries on
every possible occasion, and 1t was conslo-
cred quite the proper thing. NO woman
suppressed her emotions in those days; they
fell into swoons whenever they heard pad
news, they wept copiously In pubnc Wnen-
ever they were touched; they fell hfeless
into some ones arms and had to De carried
from the scene
Today this is not so. The present genera
ton of women pride themselves on their
ability to suppress their emotions; perhaps
they carry the virtue to an extreme. even.
for no man or woman likes woman who
cannot cry. who cannot. on occasion, show
deep emotion. On the other hand, those
very women who are never known to shed
a tear. nor faint, nor shrek when they have
an audience, may give way entirely when
they are alone, and in this way they are
able to suppress their feelings in public.
American women have highly developed
sense of humor, and 1t Is a matter OF much
laughter the way in which their grand
mothers several years removed used to fall
into swoons every time they were disap-
pointed by a sutton or whenever a shocking
accident was mentioned in polite circles. 1t
must have been physical feat of some eff
fort, so Il seems to their granddaughter. to
go so completely out of the conscious world
at an instant's warning.
But, with the passing Of sentimentality.
so expressed, and the decay OF the hysteri-
cal tendency, women are creating an era
which may be as lamentable as that which
they ridicule now. Feminine emotion must
have some outlet and If not In tears-how?
VIII they swear and lose their tempers In
masculine fashion? They cannot live on i'm
perturbably forever. and certainly tears are
out of fashion. 1t is the worst sort of form
to weep in public. and the woman who has
had to cry all by herself in the soft cushions
of her room dares not step forth to public
gaze with Redeemed eyelids unless she can
convince her friends that she Is suffering
from a cold in the head white lie is
nolehill by the side Of the greater one,

CHAPTER VII.

Richford stood there shaking and CULVER
ing with passion, and yet not free from the
vague terror that Beatrice had noticed all
along. Beatrice could not repress a shud-
der as she looked at that evil, scowling
face. To be with that man always. to
share his home and his company, seemed
to her most impossible thing. She had
lost her father; the future was black and
hopeless before her, but she felt a strength
and courage now that she had been a
stranger to for a long time. There was
hope. too. which is a fine thing when allied
with youth and vitality.
She need not live with this man; she had
every excuse for not doing SO. Beatrice
cared very little. for the moment, whether
she was married or not. 1t might possibly
be that in the eyes of the law she was this
mans wife; the law might compel her to
share his home. But now Beatrice had a
weapon in her hand and she knew how to
use 1t.
Give me that telegram" Richford said
hoarsely. Hand 1t over~to me at once.
He advanced in manner that was dis
tinctly threatening Certainly he would
not have stopped at violence II violence
would serve his end. But Beatrice was not
afraid.

At the same moment Mark Ventmore was

Then Marks fist shot out and Richford
crashed to the ground with a livid red spot
on his forehead. Sick and dizzy he scram-
