Married Life the Third Year

Il don't know why I'm saying all
this. L mafraid it's being alone SO
much in that hotel that has made me
morbid.
But just here the waiter came up
with the tea. and Helen was spared 4
reply. Then the conversation drifted
on to something else.
GROWN APART.
But Helen had had a glimpse of the
heartache of another woman.
And it was very different heart
ache fro manything she had ever
known.
Here was woman whom the world
would think had everything that
wealth and a loyal. kindly husband
band could give. And yet because she
could not share her husbands inter
es.s, because he had progressed while
she stood still--she now felt pitifully
hEtpler5 and alone.
Her husband had outgrown her And
for a woman there is no greater trag-
edy than this. Always it seems a slow
hut an inevitable growing apart. AS
the mans interests broaden, the WON
ans seem to grow more and more mar
row.
Under any circumstances a woman
ages more quickly than a man, and
wissn he lives Il vigorous active life,
ana she an inactive cne-the differ
ence is much more marked. She will
bee a1s,e an old woman while he is still
IL his prime, with his whole attitude
| towards life youthful one.
| A TEAGERY.

She had seen Mir. Griffin but once, and
then for a few moments, but il had
been long enough for her to realize
| that in every way except in years he
was much younger than his wife-Iiel-
an looked across the table at the plain
little woman in her simple black
sown, nd realized more than ever the
! tragedy that was in her life.
And as Helen always applied every
thing to herself. she now began rig
| III scrutiny as to whether she was in
! the least danger of drifting into the
same mistake.
| Was she keeping up with Warren s
| interest as much as she might? Did
! she encourage hi INTO talk over with
| her his work? She thought with alarm
of the many evenings that he buried
| himself in his papers and hardly
spoke to her, and now, lately, he had
told her very little of his plans
When she left Mrs. Griffin at the
! entrance of the great hotel she walk
! ed slowly home. Planning countless
! ways in which she would interest her
self anew in Warren's work. and in
all the htings that interested him. At
| any cost she could not stand still
while he progressed. Never would she

BY MABEL HERBERT URNER.

There is nothing that so disconcerts
the average New Yorker as to show an
out-of-toWn visitor the sights Of New
York, and then find that the visitor is
in no way impressed.
The stories of the great metropolis
that drift to the little western towns
are so exaggerated and highly colored
that when the villager does come on
he is disappointed. Because whatever
he may see, he expected a great deal
more.
And the New Yorker who proudly
shows him about is both annoyed and
baffled at his quiet acceptance OF ev-
erything and his utter lack of enthu-
siasm.
In a way Helen had something Of
this experience when she took Mrs.
Griffin to matinee a few days after
she had called.
But Mrs. Griffin's lack Of enthusiasm
was not because she had expected d
great deal more, but only because she
was patheticaliy liatness and indiffer-
ent. UDGuestionab'v she was home
