For sixteen years she had known what

women draw away their skirts from her,
TO know that people never mentioned her
name without telling Of her shame. She
had sacrificed everything for the man

women of her kind are upon men. and as

Sixteen years went by with the woman
living in a little cottage, little isolated
from its neighbors. and across whose

The End of the Romance
BY DOROTHY DIX.

The woman knew that his love for
her was dying, and she began that hope
less and pathetic struggle that many
woman makes to hold man who is
weary OF her. and to blow into fresh
flame a passion that has burned Itself
out. and that Ia nothing but a little
pinch Of dead ashes. She tried b. ali
the arts by which a desperate woman
may to keep herself young. to make her
self look pretty and attractive. She
studied how she might not anger him.
she met his own anger with gentleaess
and forgiveness.
She implored him. with tears and pray
to her. She reminded him of all that
she had given up for him. She pictured
to him her desolation II he left her.
But 10 no avail. Such man always
follows the bent Of his fancy. He was
tired Of the woman. A new fancy beck
oned him, and at last the woman knew
herself forsaken and deserted. She fol-
lowed him TO his own home, where a
pretty young girl-young enough to be
her daughter-was spending Christmas ere
with him. She looked through the UNI
suffered window at the two. and then
she fired a bullet through her own heart.
and died In the snow on the doorstep of
the man whom she had once believed
to be worth the price Of her own dis
honor.
The story OF this woman's life is not
a peculiar one. Except for a few details
1t is the story of practically every mar
ried woman who goes wrong. and for
Sakes husband and home and respecta-
billty for some man OF whom she is en-
amored. You cannot pick up a news
paper without reading Of some such
woman, deserted by the lover for whom
she has sacrificed her honor, who has
taken a bloody revenge by killing him, or
else, in despair committed suicide.

The very best manners, the sunniest

Mahogany and rosewood and marble

There are million dollar palaces along

able TO dim the sunshine Of good nature
and bopefulness and merriment which
filled the small domain with hope ana

Thomas Paine. though born across the
