the gauntness OF age, and 4 face where
the roses had faded AID the wrinkles
were coming, shot herseis a few days
ago before an open window through
which she could see the man she loved
with a young girl who was her rivai.
This woman belonged to d good fam
ly- She was educated and refined. She
had been married and had hui an hon
orable place in society, but she fell IN
love with a man whom she believed to
be her affinity, and she hal left all that
a woman should hold dcas and sacred
and followed him.
For sixteen years she had known
what it was to endure social oStracism,
to have other women draw away their
skirts from her 70 know that PEOPLE

ing OF her shame. She had sacrificed
everything for the man and his love.
and he and his love were literally all
that she had She was dependent upon
him Tor her happiness, as women OF
her kind are upon men, and as no good
woman with blessed family ties and
friends and children and home ever Is
