With her heart filed with romance
and the promise of happiness, Mary
Williams, n daughter of Dr. John A.

married to Marvin Parkhurst in 1917,
and after a short honeymoon to rela-
tlves and friends the couple repaired
to the husbands homestead in Mon

romance was shattered.

by mailing board to the inner walls
of the hut. and no chairs, the bride
soon realized that her love was to be
put to the severest test.
But when 1t was known that the
stork would soon pay them visit
and no medical assistance arranged
for because her husband was Chris
tian Scientist. life became an unbear-
able burden. All the heat and glow
Of rosy life Of love and devotion she
had pictured to herself was broken and
she fed with babe In arms to her near
