OF INTEREST TO THE WOMEN
THE STRUGGLES OF A WIFE
By Virginia Terhune Van de Water

through this woman's mind. Yet out
wardly she seemed so unperturhed
that a casual observer would have
said that she was merely a tired
woman resting peacefully.
After while, glancing across the
aisle. Myra saw that Grace was fast
asleep. Rising. she threw a light shawl
over the girls shoulders, then, return
ing to her seat, again gazed out OF the
window until a porter, announcing
that luncheon was served in the diner
awoke Grace to realization of the
fact that she wanted something to eat
The sun was low i'm the west as the
motor bus bearing the two women
drew up in front of the huge hotel at
The Heights.
\ number of guests were seated in
groupS on the broad veranda. Myra
tried not TO notice how fashionahly
the women were dressed nor how
daughter were.
The Webbs had writer a month ago
engaging their rooms for August. The
one for Grace proved too large and
airy. That which Myra was to occupy
opened out of Grace's room, and,
though not large. was lighted by big
window. near which was table on
which her typewriter could rest
Grace Is Very Tired
This was her first Donsidera ton
after seeing that her child was COM
fortably loCated---to make sure that
there was a place where she could
write. During the past two years she
had learned to put the thought of her
work above all other matters except
the welfare of her dear ones. II was
natural that she should do this, for
she felt that on her efforts and success
depended that welfare.
Grace appeared in the doorway. She
had taken off her hat and jacket,
Don't YOU suppose we could have
our dinner served up here this even
ing" she asked.
Certainly. if YOU wish it, Myra re-
piled. Are YOU too tired to 20 down
to the dining room ,"
Il am tired" Grace admitted, but
that is not the reason l don't want to
go downstairs. 1t is because am so
dirty and messy and our trunks can
he brought up for an hour yet, so we
won't be able to dress. Didn't you
notice how swell all those women and
girls on the veranda looked?
Then. before her mother could
speak. she hurried on. Don't think,
please mother. that after tonight |
am going TO he silly and shrink from
meeting people-even If l ann plainly
dressed. But. really, do look for
Iorn. don't IL"
You look tired" her mother ac-
knowledged. And YOU shall have
your dinner up here If you want IL.
Yet when she had rung for a servant
and ascertained what was the extra
charge for meals served in ones room.
Grace protested.
Never mind" she exclaimed. "I
won't. have You paying such an ex-
orbitapt price for a mere whim Of
mine. Now that 7 am here alone with
YOU, mother, l am going 10 try TO be
sensible. So I'll begin now. Well
wash. brush our hair. and go down
stairs. Who cares how we look, any
way"

Copyright, 1915, Star Company.
1t was early in August that Myra
and Grace started for the mountain
resort which was their destination.
Myra coud not have explained how
she had accomplished the many tasks
she had set for herself before their
departure. Her last bit of copying
had been done in time for her type
lwriter to he boxed and shipped two
tdays ago. She had gotten ahead with
kher writing so that she could spare a
day for the journey and another for
'unpacking and settling In the hotel.
She had arranged with lizzie 10 re-
main and keep house for Horace dur
ing the absence of the mistress. The
.Rood-natured girl promised to do just
as we'll as II the ladies was to he here"
Have a good time, ma'am-you and
Miss Grace, sne urged in wishing Mrs.
webb good-by. 'Sure the two of you
Hooks as if YOU needed change.
Though. TO he honest, | think it's your
self that looks worse than Miss Grace
for all she's an invaleed.'
"Sh-sh," warned Myra. She was
becoming sensitive with regard to her
1oss of flesh and color, and she did
not want to have Grace wounded by
lthe suggestion that her illness had
worn on the mother. Though, for
that matter. neither Horace nor Graca q
seemed to notice that she was more
tired than was right.
Miss Grace has had a hard. time
Lizzie she remarked as her daughter
came out into the hall. But ! am
sure the trip will make her quite
we'll"
Horace accompanied the travellers
TO the Grand Central Station and saw
them safely on the train before bid
ding them good-by.
Il shall be very lonely without you"
he said in low tone to his wife.
\ Wave of Tenderness
For a moment she clung to him,
moved by his unwonted tenderness
All the love she bore him-loVe, the
manifestation of which She had re-
pressed for months. rushed over her.
Her need of him. of his sympathy, Of
his encouragem almost overpow-
cred her. And he, noting her sudden
emotion, recalled her to herself by
speaking in matter-of-faCt tone.
BE sure TO put your tickets where
they will be safe ne cautioned.
Telegraph me tonight how YOU and
Grace have stood the journey" Then.
again lowering his voice, Il will mail
fifty dollars more 10 YOU about the
middle of the month"
He kissed her before she could re-
ply, kissed his daughter, and hurried
away.
When Myrs had seen Grace COM
forta bly, settled in her Pullman chair
/ she seated herself and. leaning back
closed her eyes. For a full hour she
did not speak nor move. She felt like
beaten. worn-out creature.
Yet mentally she was reviewing
N hat Horace had said. the happenings
of the past few days. and wondering
; how many things she had forgotten 20
pack and how many directions she
had neglected to give Lizzie.
