 "Rescryc Your Judgment"
 The little revocation of the heart of Dlcky's mother had always fingered with me. softening the clashes which had frequently come 10 us as tho re- suit of our widely different tempera- ments To have 1t recalled to me at this junction saved the hurt Of her recent strictures against me because Of Tom Chester, and set a waves of pity over me for the woman whose suffering and joy because of her hus- band lay buried In an old grave.
 There was lively compassions for myself also. in the thoughts which Lillians words gave me. My mother in-law's mental misery must have en- dured for years to have made the im- pression on her which her words in- dicated. If 1t had been a passing sor- row she never would have referred to it. Was I doomed to tread the same tortured way, never quite sure Of my husband. always fearing that some new face would intrigue his fancy?
 I stirred restlessly, and Lillian spoke sharply:
 "Madge, you have little respect for my opinion, haven't you?"
 "Of course." I returned warmly.

 Neither of us spoke again for sew eral minutes. To me had come the memory of my mother-in-law's white working old face when Grace Ora per's infatuation for Dicky had caused me so much misery. For the first time in her relations with me she had stepped out of the dignified re- served attitude which she always had adopted toward her unwelcome daughter-in- law. and had whispered mpassionately:
 "I know what this means, child. l went through it all with Dicky's father, years ago"
