CONFLICTING EMOTIONS.

'HinttI o.
The next morning l felt much better.
Leonard insisted that | stay in bed
for breakfast so i consented. But by
10 O'Clock l felt restless and got up
and dressed myself. 1 felt much
stronger and busicd myself with little
duties.
The house seemed lonely and strange
~ unsympathetic. Venomous thoughts
had been completely put TO rout the
night before, crept back like hungry
wolves. When Leonard was by my side
II was different--but now. when he was
away-how could be sure? Where was
he this very minute?
My mind went back and hunted up
memories and incidents that opened up
wounds again. | could see Mrs. Dar-

and how Leonard had shown decidedly

OF course. that was very. very soon
after our wedding, bid time make the
difference. I wondered? Was ii just
married life? Did every couple settle
into this terrible state of do-as you
please. even to tho extent of being fas-
cinated by other men and women? Was
that old promise Of ours to be different
from other married couples age-worn
since the time of Adam and Eve?
once my mind started searching
through past events for little unbappi-
ncrses. il gathered circles of them
that went cutting and turning cork
- r.~-li down through my heart.
Why had Leonard failed that time TO
give me my allowance, and then re-
NAMED suspiciously silent about 1t?

why ~ 80 N3fNfnf
While the name Of the fifth month
of the year is generally supposed 20
have been derived from the name of the
goddess Maia, mother of Hermes or
Mercury. this assumption is based
solely upon the similarity of the two
words. and II is much more likely that
tho name May is the Anglo-Saxon
form of Mai jores or Mafores title
given to this part of the year in honor
~ the Roman Senate. just as June vas
named in honor If Juniores. tho lower
branch of the Roman Legislature
When IL is remembered that for time
irnnemoriai June has been considered
the month of brides and happy mar
rIages. It is interesting 70 consider the
widespread belief that marriages in

lief which il phrased in the English
pyoverb;
Marry in MAY
And rue the day.
In Scotland. the same meaning is
expressed in slightly different man
ner. in the couplet
Marry in May
Rue for aye.
And additional emphasis is lent to the
idea by further Scottish saying
From Marriages in May
All BARNS (chiidren) die and decay.
Even Sir Walter Scott was not free
from this belief, for IL is recorded that
he hurried away from London in order
that his daughters wedding might be
solemnized before midnight on the final
