His Mothers Letter
CHAPTER So

For a long time it seemed that
everything we said, everything we
did, only drove deeper the wedge
that was separating Winthrop and
myself.
AS / looked back over III year of
married life and our but little more
than a year of friendship. it seemed
to me that our love had swung like
pendulum, far out to one side
where there was love and passion
and tenderness and comradeship-
and now far out to the other where
there was non Of these qualities. AT
least, this seemed true of Winthrop's
part.
wondered what the end of this
meant, and brooded over it.
Did all marriages begin that way
with everything to make them
beautiful at the start, yet nothing
lasting to make them beautiful at
the end? Did not most people swing
through this emotional arc, and end
at a dead level between the two, like
the hanging. quiet pendulum of a
clock that has stopped?
Wasn't that awful dead level even
worse than an active dislike?
The more l thought about it, the
more hopeless the whole outlook be-
came. For, after all. Winthrop and
were SO totally unlikei And we
did not know 1t at the start-how
could we? We scarcely knew each
other at all.
To him, I represented everything
he wanted-a pretty woman, well
dressed, with the smooth manners
Of the city bred girl, with a certain
social position, with a background of
frivolity.
NJ oo, x--
! wanted-a strong. quiet man, sin
cere because he knew nothing of the
suavity of the city-bred man, living
among people who were simple and
sincere too, in a place where there
was time to rest and to be at peace,
and leisure to cultivate real friends
instead of feverish acquaintances.
I remembered the long afternoons
of the summer before, when half q
dozen of the girls in W~ellsville
gathered around my tea table and
we sat and worked and talked and
learned to know each other. How
different from the meetings of the
winter-ten minutes chat on super
ticial subjects at a crowded recep-
ton, empty fiattery as one stood at
q "tea," scraps of talk between the
acts of a play, or such conversation
as vas possible while we danced to
the blare Of jazz music!
had made no friends in the
country this summer, but I had ce-
mented my friendship with Colin,
with LORNA little writer, with half
a dozen of Collins friends, and I
had found in my old friend, Media,
qualities I dreamed existed. '
Otherwise we had no guests
Winthrop would not invite our
smart" friends out to our tiny

were nearby all the time Chick
Chickaree Cred Squirrel) was sing
ing and waiting for the maple strip
to run into the hole he had made.
And they were there when he re-
turned and found it missing. But
they were also there In the meal
time and knew who the thief was.
But Chick didn't know, and he
jumped to a conclusion. II just
know who it was!" he fumed. II
know who it was that came to my
house while I was away. and drank
up all my maple strip sap. It Was
that cousin of mine, Scramble SQuir-
rel. He's jealous of me and he was
curious to know why I moved into
his apartment house. He's come
shopping around while I was away
and stole my sirup!"

The Mans Side OF Married Life
II Miss My Chance"


Bobbie did not get better. He
continued to- have high fever.
After that first night it seemed
certain his case would go into pneu-
monia. 1t was simply a question
whether DR.. Harris would be able to
save the little fellows life.
And not DIR. Harris alone! Dot
gave Bobbie the same care that an
expert nurse would have provided
and mingled with 1t a love which
no n else could have offered.
We no longer thought about
money. Doctors bills Gone evening
DIR. Harris called another physician
in consultation) and druggists bills
were piling sky-high. I did not know
where l could get the money to pay
them.
But that did not matter. If Bob
bic got well we could manage to
square them somehow, even if we
had to sell the furniture. And If
Bobbie didn't-get well-nothing
would matter very much anyway.
One evening ! came home early.
Dot as usual. was in Boobies rooms
She had him in her arms Che was
well wrapped in a big blanket) and
was rocking him. Often that was
the only way she could persuade him
to keep quiet.
Now She was singing softly-an
old school song into which she had
inserted Boobies name. crept
quietly into the room so as not to
disturb them.
1t was pathetic to see Bobbie SO
pale and ~listless in Dots arms; when
he was well he was the very soul of
life and vigor.
Presently Bobbie caught sight of
me. He made a half-hearted effort
to raise his head. but Dot induced
him to put his cheek again next to
hers.
"Bobbie SICK" the little fellow
murmured.
But you'll be we'll soon, darling.
n then you can run around and
play and have a fine time. Won't
you be glad?"
"Yesh," Bobbie replied. but there
was not much conviction in his tone.
Not oncs during this time had Dot
reproached me. though 1t was my
fault that BUR child had gotten sick
and I felt SUR she knew 1t.
II would have been easier for me
If h had blamed me. I longed to
tell her about that Sunday afternoon,
but ] could not do that until I was
ready to make a clean breast of
everything that concerned Edith.
wanted to do So at that moment.
How much better I would feel when
I again stood on a basis of perfect
frankness and confidence with Dot!
But was it fair to her? I had
kept the secret so long-why should
/ unload it upon her just when she
had SO many other things to worry
her?
When I spoke I wanted to be able

pekoe-edged ribbon is something to
make youth look longingly at this
particular frock. Although this
gown has the appearance of a
straight-lined dress it is really
shirred on at the waist with a mar

It has been said that 'backache is
an invention of the Evil One to try
women's SOULS but even so, it is
more often a symptom of a female
trouble which sooner or later declares
itself. Day after day it drags a
woman down and night after night
prevents restful sleep. Such woman
should follow Mrs. Pitts advice and
