The Confessions
of a Wife

what a young married woman
would have to mend I'm the first
months of her married life."
Il have known young married
women who had to mend things
like stockings and underclothes
In the first few months, and some
times / have seen great rents in
their hearts as we'll as broken
ideals and tempers that badly
needed mending," l answered.
Mercy" she exclaimed.
Someone told me you had a lit
erary turn of mind and now /
know it-you talk just like a
book, but | never saw one of those
bookish women before that was
combined with the old-fashioned
women who like to sew and mend.
| must confess that / don't read
very much because, between you
and me, | don't think men want
women to know too much, and
| just hate sewing. Take my ad-
vice and don't do either-they
won't get you anywhere with your
husband"
What do you do to pass away
the timer" | asked wonderingly.
well, ! call on my friends; ]
shop; go to the matinees, teas and
other social affairs"
"How long have you been mar
ried, Mrs. Hollaway?" / asked.
Five years." she answered.
"And you have no children?"
"Mercy! No! What would |
do with children"
/ thought to myself that this
was the first thing she had said
that had any sense. she certainly
would not know what to do with
children, and it was better not
only for them, but the world, that
she never had any, but immedi-
ately there rose before my eyes
those poor, little, half-starved
tots that came to the ward school
where | had taught and l remem-
bered their homes, their over
worked mother, and l knew it
was because this woman shirked
her duty that the children of the
other one must suffer.
Mrs. Holloway called herself
a good woman. She would pull
her skirts away from the woman
who lives just exactly as she does
outside of marriage. But | think
there is little to choose between
them.
/ When Dick came home at night
said something of this sort to
him and he said: whats the
use, Margie, of worrying; prob
ably she is what Holloway wants
In a wife"
"Perhaps so, Dick" an
swered, "but IL makes one resent-
full to think that a woman like
that can have unlimited leisure,
beautiful clothes and jewels when
some poor mother who has been
the best kind of a wife must work
and worry because she has not
enough to feed and clOthe her
children.
don't believe there is any
kind of woman that gets on my
nerves as much as Mrs. Halo
ways kind. They plume them
selves so much on their virtues
and il they only knew 1t they
only have the one virtue of chas-
tity, and l am not sure that would
Withstand temptation.

BABY HAS GROUP
HyOmei, Simple, Harmless and
Well Known Remedy All
That Is Needed.

It is doubtful IL there is any
suffering of the little one that SO
pulls at the mothers heart
strings as when baby has Group.
Few If any ills of babyhoOd cause
more family alarm, and rightfully
SO, for If sure and effective relief
is not promptly given the life of
the little one is endangered.
At the first symptoms of Group
use Hyomei. 1t is simple treat
ment, absolutely harmless - no
stomach dosing-simply breathe
1t, Hyomei is easy to use-just
put few drops on a handker-
chief or flannel and hold to the
child's nose. 1t will then breathe
in the balsamic and health-restor-
ing fumes. If the case is very Sc
we're give the vapor treatment
80 drops Of Hyomei poured into
a teacup three-quarters full of
boiling water. Hold the cup close
to the nostrils. Some of the Sc
verest cases have been cured by
this method in few minutes.
No household should be with
out Hyomei-it is not only a
quick and effective relief for
Group of children, but is one of
the simplest, surest and easiest
treatments for cold in the head,
bronchitis, laryngitis, or any ca
tarrhal i'll of grown-ups. Air lad

and vitalizes the sore, raw and

CHAPTER Xxx.

The people at the hotel are be-
ginning to call upon me and they
prove interesting, although l
don't think l shall care to make
friends with many of them. The
women about a family hotel seem
such idle. frivolous creatures.
Most of them are only walking
advertisements of their husbands
prosperity, and as such they wear
fine clothes and jewels morning,
noon and night.
Little Mrs. Hollaway came UP
yesterday morning just as | was
putting away my laundry. She
tapped on my door and came In
before l could get there to open
it. Seeing me stop with surprise
in the middle of the floor, she
said: didn't l hear you say,
Come in'?"
You must have made a mis-
take" / answered, "as ! was
coming to the door to let you in"
/ know she did not hear me
say, Come in" She wanted, II
possible, to take me unawares.
She walked all around my
rooms and pointedly asked me II
certain pictures and other fur
nishings were wedding presents.
And as l still stood until she
could be seated she said:
My dear Mrs, Wayerly, go
right on with your mending, al
though l must say / do not see

.A.-You remind me of the
story Of the girl who was always
worrying. One day her mother
asked:
"Well, what are you worrying
about, now?"
II WAS just thinking" the girl
said, that some day might mar
ry, and bye-and-bye l might have
a baby, and some day l might he
rocking the baby in front of the
fireplace, and the baby might fall
into the fire"
One may think about the future
all he pleases, but he can decide
nothing positively but the pres
ent. You do not have the mans
word that he loves you, nor do
you even know that you love him.
do what you positively know to
he right TODAY, and leave To-
MORROW problems to the guild
ance of u power greater than you
or me. II you are uncertain,
make no decision until you posi-
lively know what is best. IL you
adopt this rule, your answer will
always come.
