When she was less than month
past her eighteenth birthday. Queen
Victoria of England began her long
reign. AS soon as the old King, Vic
toria's uncle, had died early in the
morning of June 20, 1887, the Arch
bishop of Canterbury and one or two
other dignitaries hurried to Kensing-
ton Palace, the home of the Princess
Victoria. They arrived at 5 in the
morning when the pretty little prin-
cess was wrapped in sweet sleep. But
few minutes after she had been
reused. she came into the room where
the archbishop awaited her. She
stood there Sin a loose, white night
gown and shawl, her nightcap thrown
off, and her hair falling upon her
shoulders, her feet in slippers, tears
in her eyes, but perfectly collected
and dignified."
Few girls of IS in the whole worlds
history have ever been called to play
such an important and difficult role
as was Victoria.
Yet in every girls life this is year
Of peculiar Importance. 1t is on a
girls eighteenth birthday that she be-
comes Of age. The two years between
the eighteenth and the twentieth birth
day are often called the period of first
maturity. and the period between Is
and "a is sometimes called the period
of later adolescence. 1t has been said
that when a girl is IS she is nearest
the ideal of feminine beauty and per-
fection." From the eighteenth to the
twentieth birthdays. Is sometimes
called the April of life.
This is year of many marriages.
1t was when the Queen of Rumania
was 10 that she became the wife of
FERDINAND Victor, who later became
King. Queen Victoria of Sweden was
also married at this age.
Isabella, the Spanish queen. who
sold her jewels to help Columbus fit
out his fleet. was IS when she mar
ried Ferdinand. This was rather old
for a princess to be married in those
days. Cleopatra became joint ruler
of Egypt with her brother Ptolemy
when she was IS.
Eighteen is also an age when many
famous actresses have made their
debuts. Sarah Bernhard appeared on
the stage at this age, but without sue
cess. A less courageous woman might
have given up. Patti, the great singer,
made her debut and gained instant
recognition as one of the worlds

Outside the wind whistled against
the windows. While she waited for the
doctor Nan built a fire in the studio.
1t would be more cheerful for Tom.

This was probably an attack of grippe
or something like that.

then the coal. 1t did cheer things up.
Then she went over to the couch and
spoke to Tom. He opened his eyes, but
he didn't know her. Tom-Tom.
DIR. Farr was reassuring at first, but
when he had taken Toms temperature
his face darkened.
He took out his stethoscope. His
face was grave as he listened.

abruptly, at last. Mans breath seemed
to go out of her body.

She was thinking of their slender

The doctor helped Nan to move Tom

clothes. 1.-THE air must be quite cold,
which means that the window must be

you to isolate this room if you can.
You can sleep on the couch in the

Tom didn't know her!
She could button his pajama Jacket
with trembling fingers and his eyelids
never f1ickered.

She prayed wildly. Don't take
him away from me, God, don't take
him away from me. love him; 1 love

Darling Tom!
Now his flushed face was resting
against the pillow. But how awful to
hear him breathe like that! She loved
him so much. Enough to meet any

them" Joan said, "Well, you know
how hard it is to take a baby on the

about your trip back here again, if I

worried, but. she forced herself to be
gay.
Everything all right, darling?"
Right as rain. I'll have a check
early next week."
Busy in the kitchen, she strained her
ears to listen for his next move. She
heard him go into the studio and rum
mage around in there for a moment.
Then he returned to her.

She shook her head.
Not thing, not a thing in the
world. How do you feel tonight"
She fancied that he was shivering.
Anyway he seemed unlike himself.
Tom, darling. you don't feel right,
do you?"
"Of course, I do" and he forced a
laugh, but let me tell you something,
it's cold out. The wind goes right
through you. If you don't really need
me, will it be all right for me to go in
and lie down until dinner is ready? I
don't know what makes me feel so
strange"
She followed him into the studio,
where he flung himself on the couch.
She brought a blanket to cover him.
He dropped almost at once in heavy
sleep. A thick red began to mottle his
features.
She waited until she was sure he
was asleep, then. with cautious fingers
she touched his forehead and cheeks.
They were burning.
An unreasoning panic seized her.
He was really i'll, then. He must have

Come in, won't you? Is anything

She left Nan in the shadowy studio
while she went to investigate. 1t was

returned carrying the thermometer in

Of relief. Then she remembered that

"I'll come down." the girl returned

the stairs.
This girl was marvellous. Just to
have her in the apartment was a re-
lief. With expert fingers she inserted
the tiny stem of glass beneath Toms
tongue. She had sat down beside him
on the couch as though she had known
him all her life.
Nan stood above her agonizing. She
was terrified of fever.
The strange girl withdrew the trem
mometer, glanced at 1t and her very
black eyebrows rose.
