troubles had no answer to her own.
There seemed no way to penetrate
Archie's reserve. F'rieda promised to
talk to Archie if she got half a chance.
But Gertrude could not imagine
Archie's discussing the subject of their
relations with a third per-on. His
code forbade it, His idea If what
gentleman should be required him
never to mention his strong or init
mate emotions. Now. when he needed
most to talk. he withdrew even from
Gertrude. She came on him in odd
corners of the house sitting staring
into space.
GERTRUDE stood it for 10 days.
~ And then one night Archie did not
come home. She lay in bed beside
her telephone listening. He had never
in 10 years stayed away without tell
ing her IN advance where he was
going. The children and the servants
were long since asleep. The house
was very still. so still that Gertrude
felt she could hear a mouse run across
the floor if there had been any mice.
Twice she got up and walked all
Through the house to see if Archie
could have got back without her hear
ing him.
She was trembling with anxiety.
with fear of she knew not what. when
she heard a car drive in. She turned
off the light beside her bed and went
to the window and looked out. 1t
was Archie. Gertrude slipped back
into bed and waited. She heard him
come in; after 10 minutes he came
upstairs; ne was moving about i'm his
own room, the room next hers. When
the sounds ceased and she guessed
that he had gone to bed Gertrude
turned on the lamp to look at tho
little clock on her table. 1t was 4
O'Clock IN the morning.
Where Lad he been? Gertrude
could not guess. She was still max
ing Wild surmises when she went
to sleep.
Gertrude was awakened at 10 the
next morning by the buzzer Of the
telephone. IT was F'rieda.

Mamie Langhorne's childhood in
Richmond witnessed the enthusiasm
of Confederate reunions-and heard
much of the hardships of reconstruc-
tion.
Mr.. Langhorne's family suffered
along with the rest-until his business
acumen retrieved his fortune-but
meanwhile. they were happy. singing
and playing the banjo, and among
their ballads was the parody that In
mis- Randolph had written on Julia
Ward Howe's Battle Hymn Of the
Republic" which is called The Good
Old Rebel" Often it was sung in the
Confederate White House and later
at Westmoreland Club. by the vet
erans of Mosby, Stuart and Stonewall
Jackson. Chilly Langhornes voice
never failed to join in. He admonish-
ed his daughters when they allied
themselves with the National Society
of Colonial Danes and Daughters of
the American Revolution that he felt
personally hurt at their not uniting
with the Daughters Of the Confeder
acy through respect for his role as
Southern soldier.
Mamie Langhorne arrived at the
home of her in-laws. and was gracious
~ greeted by Father Shaw, who in
welcoming her said. You must stay
to dinner and meet DR.. Booker Wash.

Archie rose and paced up and down

Gertrude burst into tears. He
didn't believe she was innocent. He
would never believe. He would never
say SO, but he would never believe.
His trust in her was gone. He could
only praise her for the masculine
virtue of taking the consequences.
The moments on the witness stand
did not prove as whitening as John
Powell had predicted. The district
attorney did not turn on her and try
to make it appear that she was a
guilty woman. Her testimony so
thoroughly sma shed his case that his
shoulders dropped in defeat. He dis.

examination.
Gertrule drove home from the
courtroom with Archie.

He did not smile. He did not smile
in the week that followed. He made
an attempt to treat her as he always

not the purpose of this article to

those potent factors which developed
Nancy Shaw into Lady Astor--mem-

Without this Boston experience the
world would never have heard of her.
The crucial test of nobility of char

THERE happened to be no guests
at dinner. But Gertrude put off
telling him. There happened to be
no one in that evening. But still
Gertrude put off telling him. They
sat in the library. She read novel.

"A lot you women know about life
said Archie.

EOR the. first time in the 10 years of
l. their marriage Gertrude doubted
her ability to manage Archie. She
felt herself up against a conviction in
him so naive. SO spontaneously ar
rived at, SO unthinking. that she could
not magine herself arguing against it
successfully. And when Frieda spoke
again she knew that the same
thought had been running in Frieda's
mind
It's possible Frieda said. that
Philip won't need the alibi. After all.
it will be possible to show that he Vas
fond of his wife. and there is no evi-
dence against him.
When. late that afternoon, Gertrude
got chance TO talk to Frieda she
was forced TO agree that the only wise
thin@ to do was to wait. The legal
process would take weeks. perhaps
months. A good lawyer might put
off the trial until Spring.
TT was a sunny afternoon in April
when Gertrude Woolcott went
down TO Broad Street to see the great
John Powell.
1--WE come to tell YOU that | am the
woman Philip Maple Mas with the
night his wife was shot"
He gave her n slow. appraising
glance in which there was not the
slightest surprise.
Il suppose you knew" she said.
"No." he said. 'Philip has never
told me-"
Il wish he had told in the first
place" Gertrude said. 1T would have
made everything so much easier"
You mean YOU are willing to tes-
tify in COURT
Yes" said Gertrude. II am
Have YOU thought what it will
mean to your reputation?'
Il am quite innocent" Gertrude
said
Being thought innocent isn't the
same thing" John Powell said.
THE prosecuting attorney is trying
to make capital out of this case, as
prosecuting attorneys usually do.
He will see that your testimony has
ruined his case and he will turn on
YOU and do everything he can to
make you appear in a bad light.
I'm willing to stand tiff it's
necessary" said Gertrude.
John Powell leaned back in his
chair and put the tips of his fingers
together and frowncd thOughtfully
with halfshut eyes.
1T isn't necessary he said sud
denly.

Frieda stopped Gertrude with a
gesture.
Here comes Archie now"
GERTRUDE turned and saw her
husband threading his way be
tween tables toward them. He had a
newspaper in his hand, and he look
ed grim.
"Have you heard" he asked as he
