CHAPTER |.
Introducing Joan.


Introducing Joan.
Margaret Hayden had been very
properly Taised--in the opinion OF
all her mothers friends. as well as
Of her mother herself. The mother
was a stickler for propriety, eti-
Quette and manners, and Margarets
girlhood as well as her childhood
had been one series of: "You must
not do that, dear; II isn't proper
do not do this again." mo, you
cannot so, II isn't tho place for n
girl OF your age" NO, they will be
late and 1t looks badly for a young
girl to be out late" etc, ad libi-
tum. ad infinitum.
when Margaret had married
Henry Hayden, her mother had been
more than satisfied. why should
she not be? Had not she made the
match?
Henry Hayden was Just 80 years
old, n solemn sort of individual pos
--ss-i ui "A small fortune ana ali
the habits OF an old bachelor. Mar
garet was just 90 and had no idea
OF revelling although she looked
with envy at the young girls who
had married boys of their own age
and seemed to have such good
times.
IT is very suitable match her
mother had told her when Margaret
spoke OF her elderly suits age.
But / should Ike 10 walt
awhile, Mother. / don't want to
marry anybody yeti
Everything Is arranged. We Will
begin at once 10 shop for your
trousseau," her mother replied.
Margaret said no more. From
past experience she knew 1t would
avail her nothing.
And she did not know that her
conventional mother had another
reason than expediency Of a finan-
cial sort in marrying her to this
"old man" as he seemed to her
that fearing death suddenly from
an incurahle disease. OF which she
knew nothing, her mother had de-
liberately angled for her daughter,
a man suitable in every respect to
care for her.
Margarets father had passed
away year after his marriage.
People who knew him said that
Margaret resembled him There
was nothing OF her mother in her,
either In looks or disposition. Yet
she HAD been so dominated by that
mother that all color seemed to be
lacking In her character.
~ wouldn't stand it, one of her
girl friends said TO her upon one
occasion. Her mother had refused
her permission to go on n straw
