Chapter xCVII.

We were about ten minutes late
at the Symones' dinner and | thought
Dick was very ugly to say to our hos
tess: you must scold my wife. Mrs.
Symone. was dressed in plenty of
time to make it, but a woman has to
prink about so much, you know"
Mrs. Symone answered very tact
fully: eff Margie can look as well as
she does tonight with little extra
prinking, am sure that one will al
ways be glad to delay dinner a few
minutes" - ->~......
The Symones, are very wealthy
people, Harry Symone having been
very rich from birth and his money
has been gathering more in all the
years of his life: p.
He has never done bit of work
and when he married he naturally
married the richest girl in town.
Dick and he have been very good
friends ever since college, where they
roomed together Harry is a good
fellow, but l have often thought he
was not a good pal for Dick as his
ideas of the value of money are
naturally false, and as for Mrs. Sy-
none, l do not think she can conceive
of living without great army of
servants to attend her every want;
house in the city and in the country
and every wish gratified.
Did say every wish? Poor EIiene
Symone would give cool million for
a child There is a WistfuI look on
her face and have seen positive envy
come into her eyes when she sees a
mother with a pretty baby in her
arms.
am very fond of her though and
if she were not so rich would like to
have her foE a friend and know she
likes me- But it is impossible for me
to be intimate with Eliene Symone as
l cannot possibly ''go her gait and I
cannot allow her to pay all the bills
when we are out together for luXuries

THE CONFESSIONS OF A WIFE
MONEY CAN'T BUY HAPPINESS

splendid clothes! Eliene Symone
knows nothing else, but sometimes
think these things bore her to death
and that she would be glad to live
more simply if she knew how.
After dessert she and l left Dick
and Harry in the dining room and
when we were seated in Eliene's own
little Dubarry sitting room she looked
up at me pathetically and said:
margaret don't, if you care for
your happiness, fail to have family.
The only outlet for a woman's great
loving heart as she grows old is a
housefuI of children. Harry is a good
husband, as husbands 60, guess, but
have found out long ago that mar
rage is very different from just low
ing"
Just then we heard a loud laugh
come from the dining room.
There you see they are having
better time without us than they did
when we. were around.
do you know, Margie, don't be-
lieve that men ike u.s. They love us,
they admire us, they respect US, but
they don't like. us. When they want a
good time; when they hunt, fish, or do
any of the outdoor stunts they con-
slider manly they are bored to death
if we ask to go along
''Margie, l believe that Harry would
have fit if should insist upon going
on one of his long voyages on the
Yacht and vet am a good sailor and
believe could and would be quite as
cheerful a companion as Dick, who he
would take tomorrow if he would go.
Nov, Margie, take heed from ex-
perience and understand that there is
only one compensation for a woman
in marriage and that is children"
Money can buy everything but
happiness" l thought as Dick and l
babe the Symones good night.

William Rerkstresser Dead

ShtiS f'Ni No'iNooNi. "ho
was stricken with paralysis nearly
three weeks ago, died last Sunday
morning, aged 80 years, II months
and six days, having been born in
Bedford county, Pennsylvania, June
1S, 1924.
He came to Missouri with his fam
lily in 1867, locating about three
miles northwest Of Versailles where
he died at the home of son. Forney
Berkstresser, and where he has lived
all the time except five or six years
that he lived here in Versailles, from
about 1908 till this spring.
He was the father of eleven child
rem now living, though one, Mrs.
John Hodges is, as we 60 to press,
barely alive. With Mrs. Hodges,
there are seven girls, Mrs. F. NJ.
Napier. Mrs. Jennie Friedley, Mrs.
Clara Humans and Georgia Murray,
of Versailles; Rebecca Humans, of
Windsor, Mrs. Ollie Cranfll, of Sc
dalia. and four boys, Henry, of Ok
lahoma, J. f. and ]. S., of Versailles,
and Rev. A. F. of Fort Scott, Kansas.
Mrs. Berkstresser died in Versailles
about two years ago, since which time
Uncle William made his home with
his son Forney.
Mr.. Berkstresser was a fine old
Christian gentleman, having been a
member of the Church of God for
more than seventy years, and was
recognized as being true to the church
and to his fellow man.
He was very industrious as we'll as
kind and generous to all with whom
he met, and if he had the ill-will of a
living soul we have never heard of it..
1t can be ruthfully said of Uncle
William Berkstresser and his entire
family that the world has been made
better by their having passed this way
and that his has been life well spent.
Funeral services were conducted
at Antioch church, where he held
membership, Tuesday afternoon by a
former pastor, Rev. Wise, OF Fort
Scott. Kansas, after which the re-
mains were laid to rest in the Antioc h
cemetery in the presence of large
congregation Of sorrowing relatives
and friends, including all the chill
dren, except Mrs. Hodges, and tc
whom the Republican extends the
deepest sympathy in this their sad
hour Of grief.
