Bogalusa enterprise. [volume] (Bogalusa, La.) 1914-1918, 1916-07-27

From the first year in which her
little daughter had looked at her
with dawhing intelligence, Mrs.
Shiel had felt that there was an
tagonism in the depth of the little
ones eyes. No mother likes to re-
coenize such a thing and Mrs. Shiel
was a particularly vain woman.
The child was going to be an un-
deniable beauty and she should
adore the mother, who vas to ar
range her future.
They we're the Shiels of Chicago,
originally, wholesale jewelers., but
Mr.. Shells death left his widow his
Strengthened circumstances.
Alice was the only child and her
pilot was her ambitious mother, who
if a social barrier of any sort ap-
peared upon her horizon, could not
rest until she had bridged it. 1t
seemed the highest duty to Mrs.
Shiel and to Alice to endeavOr
to keep their name from sinking
into oblivion since their financial
reverses. To keep the family III the
society where i. belonged vas, there
fore. the. s:.e2t ambition.
Alice was educated at ST. Mary {,
convent. Thtc7 came her G-7t seas
on. In spite of her lack of wealth,
her beauty and charm, coupled with
her old family name, made her an
immediate social success, and in
vitations from the most exclusive
hoStesseS flowed in. Yet many a
night she lay awake fearing that the
morning would bring her some social
slight, and thus deal a blow to her
mothers ambition. ,
AT the beginning Of her second
season Alice and her mother went
to visit Mrs. Shells cousin, Mrs.
Fleming who lived in New York
The day following their arrival
Mrs. Fleming. Mrs. Shiel and Alice
attended an afternoon affair at the
country club. On that day the sun
shone and the air was marvellous
with the OdOr of flowers. The
dresses of the women on the lawn
looked as though they were made
of petals of flowers, and the haunt
ing strains of a waltz that was be-
ing played by the band came tC

you innocence" he answered, then
| found you we're good and true,
which is what | want my wife to be,
I'm tired of lies
Lies" she cried startled.
Yes dear, love and lies cannot
live in the same house." and as he
spoke his face was serious and
severe. When he left her Alice
went to her room and found her
mother waiting nervously, eyes
bright as steel.
"Well?" she asked the instant
Alice entered the room, did he
propose to you?"
Alice felt a cold chill sweep over
her as she answered coldly Yes"
Did he really?" her mother cried.
"Oh, it is too good to be true. You
are wonderful, Alice. You will save
us now. Thand God! This is what
| have been praying for"
Alice could hardly believe this
worldly woman was the same
mother who had nursed her through
an alarming illness. They had
been rich then and there had been
trained nurses, but every night the
mother had taken her place by the
bed. Through the night she sat
there, patient. alert at any change,
tender, always smiling encourage
ment to Alice.
The doctors and nurses had said
then that Mrs Shiel was marvellous
and at this Alice wondered YEARLY
if she could ever summon such
self support. As she lay sobbine
her face buried on her mother
bosom.
How can | marry him." He is 50

finds out how we have planned and
how we have lived lies. Lies, lies
nothing but lies
He would not mind, my darling.
Mrs. Shiel said very tenderly, and
. she arose and left the room.
While Alice was preparing fol-
bed she wept bitterly. Then bel
mother, with a cup of something
hot, came back.
Here" she said, is glass of no,
milk. Get into bed and drink it
dear child. 1t will make you sleep

kissed Alice and left the room.
Alice lay tossing on her bed unit
daybreak. but sleep did not visit hel
eyes, then she remembered some
morphine tablets the doctor haC
given tier a few weeks before tc
ease a terrible headache. The doc
tor had given them with the usua
warning that the stuff was not tc
be taken except under exceptional
circumstances.

The wedding was fashionable
affair. The colors were pink and
white, Jack had insistsd on those
colors which he said were the en-
blems of the purity of youne
womanhood and of hearts thai
} should always be guarded from the
things that stain.
When Alice awakened on heI
wedding day, the clock on the man
tie was striking ten. But still sh,
felt tired and sleepy. Often of lat
she had taken morphine to gail
rest, and morning found her dull
and sleepy. She had decided tina
she would not rise yet, but he

The three talked for only a few
moments before Mrs. Shielrose from
her chair saying, Alice, sit here
with Mr. Milton" You won't mind
taking care of my little GIRL for
few moments. will you MIR. Milton?
Mrs. Fleming is signaling me to JOIN
her. and she walked away. Jack
was openly delighted, but Alice
felt annoyed at her mothers evil
dent desire to leave her alone with
the young man. They sat there
together on the green lawn under
the shade of a great elm tree, and
it seemed to both as though they
had been sitting there, friends, since
the world began. Nothing else
mattered to either Of them.
The next morning when Alice
came down to breakfast a huge box
of roses with Jack Millions card
was waiting for her. This was the
beginning. Never a day passed that
his Car did not stand before the
Fleming home, and the boxes of
candy and the flowers, with which
Alice was deluged filled Mrs. Shells
heart with rejoicing.
Alice never allowed Jack to see
her alone. He was forced to attend
all social functions and there to
Vancouver for few minutes with
her alone, she was flattered by the
attentions of man of his wealth
and social distinction. Both of his
parents had died young. leaving him
heir to their large fortune. Mrs.
Shiel had known Jack from boyhood.
and now was raised to the seventh
heaven when he showed himself so
so much in love with her daughter.
He meant to marry and settle
down. He was sorry he had not
led better life. These were his
thoughts as he came speeding down
the wide street seated in his great
purring machine.
Alice had just completed dressing
and stood before the mirror admir-
ing new autumn costume and
flutting her curly hair under a chic
little hat that was vastly becoming
When the maid entered the room
with Jacks card.
oh! How delightful her mother
cried, lust at the right time"
Alice gave last hurried glance
in the mirror and noted the clear
blue of her eyes and the brightness
of her cheeks. She had acquired a
veneer of worldly knowledge that
had almost deceived herself. She
had accepted as a sad truth the
wichedness of the world, but in her
heart she was young and innocent
When they returned from their
drive Alice led Jack to a veranda
overlooking the garden. They we're

Camping Place
for Travellers

When the Business Mems associa-
t1on holds its next meeting very
important subject. the matter of
providing a camping place for trav-
cling autoists, will be brought up
fer discussion. There are many
autoSts now making tour of the
country who carry complete outfit
with them. camping wherever night
overtakes them. A number Of these
have struck Carson the present sea-
son, and unable to find a suitable
nlace to make camp. have gone on.
BY their departure Carson may or
may not have suffered d loss. but it
is fair to assume that each would
have spent little money in the town
in the purchase of supplies, etc.
There may be some objection from
certain sources against granting auto
lists a free camping place, but such
objections are without reason and
should not prevail. Every artoist
arriving in the city should, be shown
courteous treatment and given the
best OF everything. He will appre-
ciate it and will not fail to mention
t TO the next traveller he meets, and
the latter may be the one we want
to land.
For the camping ground N this city
several places are available and no
doubt the Business Men will select
The most convenient one at their next
meeting.
