I had determined not to speak about
that photograph. And yer tonight at
dinner 1 did; / seemed powerless to
keep back the words. If l had only
said frankly that I had found the pho
tograph and wondered why he had not
spoken of it, that would not have been
so bad But the thing did say was so
tactless-it showed so plainly my sus-
picions. 1t was just before we left the
table. when 1 asked abruptly;
Have we reached the stage where
you do not trouble even to tell me
when you have some pictures taken?'
1 saw his face change instantly. It
was several seconds before lie looked
up, and then he said slowly:
Il am sorry. Mary. but I have been
very busy and absent-minded lately"
There was a pause, and then he added:
II had them taken for tie Lawyers
Association: they are bringing out an
illustrated directory
There was another pause, and then:
II think there is one upstairs now
in the library, if you care to have it."
Yes, there is one up there" I an

Ellen came in with the coffee then,
and nothing more was said L did not
say / wanted the picture, nor did he
mention 1t again. But this morning 1
found it in my room on the dressing
table.
For the Lawyers Association! No
doubt they win publish one, but 1 can
not believe that is why he had hem TAX

been requested for similar purposes, and
he has never bothered to comply. And
now-now I feel that these were taken
for her. And I believe II I had found
this one he would never have mentioned

And even If could force myself to

I would still feel shat Il was an In

know he could never care for a woman
OF that kind. He could never overcome
his innate loathinE Of all that is coarse
and vulgar. Whoever she is, she must
be, outwardly at least, a refined woman,
a gentlewoman. I spend anguished
hours in wondering what she is like, in
trying to picture her. I have no clue

last winter, and now this elusive per

I dread this summer so. The thought
Of going to the seashore, of having
Horace come out only about twice a
week, and ali the rest of the time not
knowing where ne is-feellng that he
may be with her-how can I 90 through
that? And yet I cannot stay in town all
summer. I never have before; It would
seem so strange. A jealous. suspicious,
watchful wife-oh. 1 do not want 10

go away as usual-for a few weeks, at

May 9th
Every day ne is growing farther and
farther away from me. He is hardly
ever at home now. And he has almost
ceased to make excuses for his absence.
May 10th
The thought that many other wives
have to endure all this. and perhaps
more, does not help me. He has always
seemed so much a part of me, so diff
ferent from the men that figure in news
paper scandals of intrigues and divorce.
May 18th.
At breakfast Horace said something
about what plans 1 had thought of for
the summer. I said as long as It re-
mained this cool, i. seemed Just about
as comfortable here. but I supposed
later on we would go to the Sea Cliff
Hotel at South Hampton, where we
were last summer, unless he had some
thing else to suggest He said he
thought South Hampton was as acces-
sible as any place we had ever been,
and that 7se would probably be as well
satisfied there as anywhere. And that
was all thar was said-we made no
plans or decided on no date.
How different from other years when
we enjoyed planning and talking it
over weeks ahead. when we looked
forward with such pleasure TO our out
iugs together. But now everything
seems strained and forced. On, Hor-

l was strengthening up some books
and magazines in the library this morn
Ing. Under some papers on Horace
desk I found a large, heavy envelope
with the crest and name OF a we'll
known photographer. It was not sealed,
and drew out the photograph. Il
was a picture of Horace. The likeness
was perfect-the poise Of head, the
clear. dark eyes, the stern mouth, the
Wavy hair pushed carelessly OF the
forehead.
At first I was filled with Joy: he had
no recent pictures, and / had so long
wanted him 10 have some taken. And
now this was so narvelously real-so
much better than any he ever had be-
fore. And then as other thoughts
rushed suddenly upon me, they
brought that faint. sick feeling.
1t was for her he had had them
taken. To me he had not even men
toned them; it Was only by chance I
found this one. Again I looked at the
