fatal blow. and under that blow love
withered. There was no more peace.
no more happiness in the household.
Seeing this, the children were silent
and miserable.
But the last straw came when Mrs.
Nichols picture, her famous Scarlet
Letter." received encomiums on both
sides of the Atlantic. The husband
had never done anything like 1t.
After a year of trouble the couple
separated, the husband going away
and the wife remaining to work out
her own career.
Thereafter her existence was peace
full, II lonely. There was but one easel
now, and one painter. There was but
one ambition, and that was the sup
port and education Of her children.
Art for arts sake was no more. Love
for loves sake was farce.
The woman continued to work

Then followed . period OF deep
anxiety In which two souls Joined. Inn.
patiently they awaited the Issue. In q
month the answer came. The pic

Joy reigned in the Nichols house

deep and strong foundation Of success
under them. The Paris Salon had
spoken and the Paris Salon was

The husband resolved to paint an
other picture for the following years

said. Was not her husbands success
her own? II she should succeed, would
not her success be gracious in the
eyes OF her lond and master?
Mr.. Nichols smilingly gave his as
sent to the plan and they set to work
The L'Anse sentinel. (L'Anse, L.S., Mich.) 18??-current, 1906-10-20

with light hearts. Mrs. Nichols could
only paint between the intervals of
caring for her children, but she went
at the work with light heart, hoping
against hope for success.
The two painters wrought and Ia
bored side by side. They saw their
separate efforts grow from mute out
lines, and take form and shape accord
ing to their ideas.
FIND HAPPINESS
IN COOPERATION.
Up to this time not a cloud had
marred their domestic sky. They we're
happy, with the careless happiness of
children. Their art was joy-a play
to them.
And so they played together until
the paintings were finished. In order
to insure separate consideration they
were packed and shipped in separate
boxes to the Paris Salon, where sit
the worlds arbiters in art.
In due time Mrs. Rhoda Holmes and
Mr.. Burr Nichols received their re-
spective verdicts.
For Mrs. Rhoda Holmes 1t was:

For Mr.. Burr Nichols 1t was: Paint.
ing judged unworthy; hereby re-
turned"
Here fell the shadow, II we are to
believe those who sympathize with
Mrs. Nichols. Here entered the note
of discord. Here was the parting Of
the ways whereby two souls became
estranged, through the life Of earth
and the eternity Of heaven.
With the wife's Joy was feeling Of
sincere sorrow for her husband. He
had worked so hard. He had hoped
for so much. Why could not both o.
them have won?
Although the shadow was In hi
heart, the husband spoke bravely o
the future. Let us try 1t again, HI
said; I'VE may both win next time"
And so they went to work for a sec
ond trial. Side by side they painted
as before. But now there stood
ghost between them-the impalpabl'
shadow of jealousy and discomfort
The wife, perceiving this, grieve'
much over 1t. The husband. imagining
things that were not, grew gloom!
and taciturn.
In due time the two pictures wer'
packed in separate crates and shipped
to Paris and in due time the answer
came back.
His answer was q box with his pic

Then, say Mrs. Nichols friends, thu
mans nature seemed to change en-
tirely. He became grumpy and cross
Nothing seemed to please him. tn,
iron had entered his soul. The wifi
had outdone the husband in his chosel

bravely. She could have gone to
France or italy, where her young artist
days were passed, but she preferred to
remain in this country and educate her
children. She took studio at East
Gloucester, Mass.
In her artistic career she won eleven
medals. She had shown pictures at the
exhibition of the Roman Water Color
society in 1888: she was hung on the
line at Turin, Milan, the Royal acade-
my at Paris in 1900, at the Chicago
and Pan-American expositions, at At
lanta, Nashville, Cleveland and the
Boston Triennial in 1896.
She is a member Of many art clubs
and societies and was for nine years
vice president of the Water Color club
of New York, Is a member of the Ma

MUTUAL HAPPINESS
IN cHlLDREN's LOVE.
For eight years Rhoda Holmes Mich.
OILS has never ceased to struggle. She
has earned fair competence and has
| led a retired life, but gradually she is
learning to be happy again-happy in
the love of her children, which knows
no distrust or jealousy.
The other day the curtain fell on
the last act in this strange marital
drama.
\ Mrs. Rhoda Holmes Nichols received
a decree Of absolute divorce, carrying
with 1t the legal custody of the, chill
dren, and authority to resume heI
maiden name.
Incompatibility was the cause given
but the divorce papers are sealed.
Mrs. Rhoda Holmes Is still young
and much of life is yet before her
But It is doubtful II she will ever again
regard love as anything but a mirage
of the youthful brain, an unsubstantia
dream, the flesh tints laid upon the
bones of an awful skeleton.
But the experience Of Mrs. Holmes
is not singular. SO long as mans ma
ture remains unchanged, just 30 Ions
will he demand the leadership of the
family, both mentally and physically
The spiritual crown he accords te
woman without question.
Moral: Do not beat your husband
