him that she In her heart OF hearts

possible, though Mrs. Fitch declared
that she loved her husband and could
not love any other man. Apparently
there was no convenient place where
the correspondence might stop.
Mrs. Fitch showed plainly that there
was something on her mind. Her hus-
band said to her one day:

1T FADED LIKE
"a DREAM.


TOriginnl1
Young Mrs. Theodore Fitch had been
D belle. Her husband when he married
her had misgivings ais to whether she
would settle down to the devotion Of
one man or would still need that OF a
great number. Mrs. Fitch, for awhile
ut least, agreeahly disappointed him.
She was very fond Of him and seemed
to be satisfied with him alone. The
young men to whose attentions she
had been accustomed took no further
interest in one who was happily mar
ried. This did not disturb her. So
long as her changed life was new she
had no use for them. But when that
life had lost Its first freshness and she
realized that her former admirers, buzz
zing about other luminaries, We're en-
tireiy forgetful Of her she felt sink
Ing at the heart that surprised her.
From this time forward Mrs. Fitch
began to pine for attention She could
have had attention, and all she want
ed, provided she chose to jeopurdize her
relations with her husband. Men only
have use for married women who are
not en- rapport with their spouses. To
secure attention she would have been
obliged at least to make the men sup
pose that she had tired OF AFR. Fitch.
To hold attention she would have been
obliged to make them believe she cared
for them. She did neither, but became
dissatisfied, and her dissatisfaction
was manifest.
One morning after her husband had
gone to his Office the postman left Mrs.
Fitch a note 1t was written In a mas
culine hand and was anonymous. The
writer declared that he had loved her
before she was married and would al
ways love her. Mrs. Fitch was fright
ened at the pleasurable excitement the
note gave her She cast It at once into
the Gre and, noticing that a corner re-
NAMED unconsumed, took the poker
and pushed 1t into the fame, that it
might not fall into the hands Of Mr..
Fitch. The letter had given fictI-
tIous name and an address TO which
she might send a reply If she chose,
but she did not choose She would like
to do so, but was too loyal to her hus-
band, besides being TOO prudent.
At tho end Of q week the postman at
the same hour as before left another
note from the same unknown. lie
blamed himself for having written,
feared he had shocked her and begged
forgiveness On the whole, he seemed
to be in specially unpleasant frame
OF mind. Nothing can be more pleas
ing to n worzan than this same I'M
pleasant frame Of lovers mind. It Is
also very useful to story writer's and
poets. Mrs. Fitch was delighted. She
was so delighted that she pitied the
poor man who loved her SO we'll that
he had been tempted to insult her. She
wrote him a note gently Gliding him
and nrnmjsing- to forgive him If he
