The Confessions
b of a Wife C

Mary's room while Dick was shaw
ing, and much to my consterna-
ton no one answered.
l was quite sure that Jack s
brave little wife was i'll and that
Aunt Mary had gone to her.
l could not eat any breakfast
and was on pins and needles I'M
til Dick had gone to the office
and MOllie had started home.
Then | rushed over to the place
where Jacks little secret wife
had been hidden by Aunt Mary
and me and found my worst fears
realized. Mary had been taken
very i'll and had sent for Aunt
Mary. The doctor was sum-
moned and declared that she must
be taken to the hospital at once,
where an operation was per-
formed. Her baby had lived only
a few minutes. Aunt Mary had
stayed with her at the hospital,
and we held a counsel on what
we should do. There was the
baby to be buried, and 1t seemed
to me that 1t should be laid away
in the Waverly family plot. And
to do this mean telling the family,
as someone would have to order
the grave opened.
Then we had to decide whether
we should tell Jack. Aunt Mary
said that all through Mary's
agony her one thought seemed to
be that no one should tell Jack.
"He must graduate" was her
constant cry.
The doctor, however, declared
that Mary was in a very precari-
GUS condition, and he thought that
when she knew her baby was
dead unless Jack was with her to
comfort her he could not be sure
of her pulling through.
At last we decided that the
only thing to do was for me to
tell Dick and let him decide.
Strange, isn't 1t, that we women
prate of independence and capa-
bility, but when something i'm
portant is to be decided we al
ways call a man into the con-
clave? And come to think of Il,
a man usually asks the advice of
some woman il he has anything
that bothers him to decide. l
guess that men and women are
very necessary to each other in
all the affairs of life.
l dreaded awfully to tell Dick
about Jacks marriage to Mary,
for it was the first thing that |
had kept from him since our mar
riage and | was selfishly afraid
that he would be angry with me
for keeping 1t from him.
But IL was Jacks secret, and
unless some unforeseen catastro-
phe-such as Unsecured, /
felt had no right to tell anyone.
However, the thing must be
done now, so I persuaded Aunt
Mary to come over to her own
home and leave Mary with the
nurse.
When we went home and I had
helped Aunt Mary undress and
put her to bed (for l saw she
was nearly in a state of collapse),
l telephoned to Dick.
He came to the phone and l
know that | gave him something

Kirkwood City Officials Look Over Roads Made by the Barrett
 Manufacturing Company

The Barrett Manufacturing company, a plant of which concern is located at Fairfield, drought its first party of city officials here yesterday to look over that industry and view Barrett made road. The party was from Georgia, and was composed of B. L. Craig of Atlanta, R. F. Gillian, who registered ISirkwood, Ga. "the next thing to At lanta," R, C. w. Ramspeck of Decatur,
 John L. Smith of Kirkwood, w L. Saunders of Kirkwood and s. C. Me Curdy of Kirkwood. The. party was
 brought to Birmin gham by travelling
 representativ of the Barrett Manu- featuring company. to inspect the paw ing placed here by that concern. The
 Barrett company has recently estab- lished Fairfield as it's headquarters for the travelling statesmen.
 From what could be gathered the visitors were very much pleased with the district, especially the Fairfield
 plant and the good roads that were shown them by the representatives of the company. They said that Birming- ham had certainly secured during the recent years some rather fine boule- wards. the value of which, they said was not to be estimated in money. Tho visitors were duly impressed with the lmagnficeLce and location of the press club. and said that 1t was above any thing in Atlanta The party returned to Georgia last night.

At s O clock the dance commenced. which was continued until the morning hours. Num- tsered among the guests were many of the leading citizens of the county. Tha St Patrick address was made by Dr. II. A Elkourie and was an enjoyable and interesting account of neland's patron saint and a graceful tribute to the Irish race. Patrick J. O'Brien was chairman and acquitted himself admirably. His in troduotion of the several speakers was fitting and appropriate.
