Pregnancy Occurring After 40

{HERMAN N. BUNDESEN, M.D. OM J J doctor's point of view, ijest fc me for a woman to a bgil|y is in young adult—between the ages of 20 and cQui&e, this does not mean an older woman should not a baby.

To do this, she should place herself under the care of a physician early, so that' he can watch her progress throughout pregnancy, and prevent any severe The . doctor will check his patient’s blood pressure and general physical condition at frequent intervals.

Many of these women feel 100 per ceiit better on becoming pregnant. We can see from this that a woman over 40 need have no fear of pregnancy. As far as she is concerned, the statistics mean that she should not neglect to put herself under a physician’s care early in her pregnancy, so that he can ,j watch her with extra care.

Hhnn looked at the McDevitt girls, and it was obvious ] 1 that Leonie had said nothing of tier plans to them. ; \“Leonie’s uncertain abou' her future in that respect,” said Heloise, with what appeared to Henri as consummate tact. “Too many candidates, eh?” Mr. McDevitt inquired. •Tri away,” Henri answered. •*i notice Miss Lconie is very still and mum about all this,” said Mr. McDevitt “Come, young tell us your answer on the subject. pon’t let your uncle and aunt do all tne talking for you.” Leome blushed prettily and said that\ lher kunt and uncle had described the situation very neatly. "Mah goodness,” said Mr. McDevitt. “If these Charleston gallants are slow, Miss .Leonie, you comb to Virginia with us and we’ll find some eligible young men that aren’t so bashful.” , After coffee, everyone repaired to: the parlor, which nearly burst with a group of such size, and Mr. McDevitt asked permission to smoke, and brought out a pocket case Os magnificent cigars before Henri had a chance, as a gracious host, jto offer the ones he, had. Then : the two men sat and discussed male affairs while the women chattered, , * • • Next morhing the walk to the office appeared long to Henri Lemay. He felt tired and dispirited, and there was a sound in his ears like the faint roaring you heard in a conch shell. Deafness coming on, he thought gloomily, and there would be the . end of his singing. Mr. Peterson was gracious about I his lateness, and Henri went upstairs to the little room and set promptly to work. “Have a nice time?” Mrs. Emjinons inquired. “Very pleasapt,” Henri said. “Everybody is talking about those friends of yours," said Mrs Einmons. “The way they buy /things in Kerrison’s and Cart’s and Allan s. They must be rolling in money.” , j Henri grunted as usual. f “Nobody seems to know just what that Mr. McDevitt is up to," Mrs, Emmons continued. “Some

They say he’s met everybody and that he’s going to speak before the Chamber of Commerce. Colonel Calvert,” she added with a giggle, “says he thinks the man is an adventurer.” “Colonel Calvert had better be careful what he says about people,” Henri replied angrily. He felt that the McDevitts were tn part his guests, and he saw. this remark as another jibe at himself. “Well, you know what he is. I should think, though/ that the Colonel had enough worries of his own. That pretty nephew of his is carrying on, they say.” She glanced sideways st Henri, who did not move a muscle of hiS face, and added: “They say he’s brooding.” “Mrs. Emmons,” Henri said, with a sharpness unusual for him away from home, “the doings of the Cal 4 vert family are not of the slightest interest to me.” Mrs. Emmons took the s n ulb good-naturedly but she stopped chattering. Henri worked on mechanically, staying on to make up for time lost that morning. He found Helo-« ise looking thoughtful when he reached home. “Where’s Leonie?” he inquired as usual. “She’s up in her room. Her nose is out of joint again.” “What about?” ' “She says she hasn’t got the clothes to go around with those McDevitt gyirls. And she’s quarrelled with the Garrisons because they went somewhere with the McDevitts without asking her.” “Too bad, too bad,” Henri said wearily. “What’s the matter, Brother? Don’t you feel well?” “Perfectly all right,” Henri insisted. But he felt wretched. He lay awake thinking about Leonie, and feeling annoyed at her and sorry for her by turns. She would have to realize that he couldn’t give her that trip to New York and fancy clothes to wear around Charleston, too. And much as he disapproved of her declared vocation, he felt that it was very inconsistent of her, when she meant to renounce the world, to sulk over such vanities as clothes. He continued to. feel poorly.. Dn Saturday evening, he stayed only brifly at Antoinette’s and listened to her mild complaints about what ; ' \ Il ' ' ?

But the afternoon was mild and clear, and with Leonie and Heloise tjq' started out for Miss Antoinette's house where they were to meet the McDevitts. The visitors had just returned from dinner at one of the hotels and had not been greatly impressed by IL : “I love Miss Antoinette," said Mrs. McDevitt, “but 1 sort of wish we had made up our minds to stay , at the Villa Margherita. It’s really very inconvenient, going out for meals three times a day. I hope you won’t mind my saying that it looks as if all the great cookery of Charleston goes on in private homes." | Henri had to acknowledge that this was true, and that the days, fpr instance, of Eliza Lee’s on Broad street were no more. | “A business man told me,” said Mr. McDevitt, “that the drummers always plan their trips to Charleston so they can get out by the train that same afternoon and not be left in the city overnight.” “Weil, Dad, you know what drummers are,” Ursula said, and Estella tittered. I\. ' does not offer a great deal in the way of gayety,” Henri said. “In earlier years we used to have traveling companies and a now and then. But now there are only moving picture houses and the vaudeville theater. t never go to it but T don’t believe even the vaudeville is first class.” “I ve been to it,” Estella said “It’sawful.” “Perhaps,” said Mrs. McDevitt /smoothly, “when the Canal begins to increase the shipping, the city iwlll naVe more of the things it used to nave ” * “Os course,” Henri said, trying to bring the conversation around •to the places he was going to show, [“1 don’t need to tell you anything about the Fielding house.

He did not feel that Antoinette had been right in supposing that her paying guests would be overcome by the hallowed shrines of Charleston, and even so earnest a man as he could perceive that they were becoming restive. “Perhaps you’d like to return now, and we can see some more of the city Another day,” he suggested. But the McDevitts were polite, and Insisted upon seeing Meeting street and SL church. By that time, however, they were obviously bored, and the Lemays and Leonie left them at Miss Antoinette’s at an early hour. “Gosh! My feet,” Leonie said. Heloise smiled in pained sympathy. “Charleston people are not walkers,” she said. “And I’m one of them. I could sit right down on one of these horseblocks right now. -I’ve a good mind to do it.” “Don’t even say such a thing, gyster,” penri reproved her. “I’m afraid ybur friends were not very deeply interested, Leonie. Perhaps they don’t find my explanations interesting.” “Oh, I think they’re just tired,” , Leonie said. ‘They do an awful lot of running around, really, and I think they’d just rather stay home and doze. They’ve been everywhere, and I doubt if any place is very exciting to them now.” *1 wanted to show them Archdale street, w he r e our families lived when they came to Charleston," Henri saidl “If they hear! what Archdale street’s becoming, they may not think much of our ancestors,” Leo? me observed. “Leonie!” Henri said in a deeply tope. “Young ladies shouldn’t discuss such things or even know about them.” I “Well, they do,” Leonie said.

living in a historic house would make up for a little discomfort,” Henri said, | / ' But his head was beginning to ache again, and he did not continue the discussion. Leonie and Heloise went on talking. He did not follow what they were saying. He knew he was going to have to see the doctor, and on the plea of an upset gtomnch he went to Dr. Forbes’ office. Mrs. Forbes said they were having an early supper and asked , him to join them, but Henri refused, v' , Dr. Forbes waved kway Henri’s apologies for interrupting his supper. “What’s the trouble, Mr. Lemay? You haven’t been tussling with rats again?” Henri laughed shortly. M just don’t fpel well,” he said. “My head feels tight and my eyes don’t seem as sharp as they were. 1 haven’t been sleeping well and I have headaches and noise in my ears.” Dr. Forbes took his pulse and temperature. He got out his stethoscope and asked Henri to remove his coat and vest. There was a large patch ih his shirt and Henri wished fervently - that he had changed to a better one before coming. “Well, your heart’s all right,” Dr. Forbes said, “but your blood pressure’s up a bit, Mt. Lemay." , Henri turned pale. “You mean I’m going to have apoplexy ?” That was what a good many of the Lemays died of. “I don’t think so,” Dr. Forbes said. “But you’ll have to take care of yourself. No unUsual activity. Plenty of sleep; I could take you off red meat but I’m not sure that’s necessary. Is something worrying you?” Henri looked •at. him in amazement. "Why, of course," he said. Dr. Forbes considered, “Y o u need to relax. Get your mind off. your troubles. An easy mind is the best thing. Don’t get excited.” Os course, Henn thought as he walked home with his death sentence, d oct or s were very calm about telling you not to worry and lead an easy life, but think of all the worries he had to contend with. And what would happen to Lconie and Heloise now? His Ins u rance -. . . The thought smote him that, with this hanging over nis head, he would not dare to borrow against that insurance, the only protectibn his sister and niece would have against a very uncertain future.

The _ meeting was called td order by the president, Pauline Rbe. with the pledges led by Patsy Bollenbacher. The minutes of the last meeting were read and the roll call answered with “my favorite hobby.” Old and new business was discussed. Two demonstrations were given, one cm salads by Patsy Bollenbaeher and Phyllis Velez and the other, the right and wrong way to bake a yake, by Dianna Sipe , and Melinda Raudenbush.

that his blood pressure was high had worn off a little, Henn found himslelf accepting the new condition as he had accepted everything else—his inability to marry, the care of Leonie, the failure of his business. He did not feel particularly’ well, that was true, and the drug Dr. Forbes had given him produced a distressing loginess, but the thing that troubled hun most was disappointing Leonie. At the office he was burled in these thoughts when William appeared and announced that there was a gentleman to see him. 1 “To see me?" Henri inquired. “Tell him I’ll be right down.” He removed his office coat and put on the rusty broadcloth. As hi? went down into the store he was not surprised to see the bulky form of Mr. McDevitt. “Speak of the devil,” Henn murmured. “Os course he’s come to order that stationery.” They exchanged greetings and discussed the weather, and still Mr. McDeVitt said nothing about the order. “Is there some place we can sit and talk, Mr. Lemay?" Henri hesitated. “There’s only-r Mr. Peterson’s office,” he said, “and ’ in there. Perhaps we could go up to the room where 1 work and I could ask Mrs. Emmons to leave us for a while. It isn’t very comfortable.” “It will do perfectly,” said Mr. McDevitt. Mrs. Emmons willingly retired to a chair at the back of the store. Henn turned his stool and Mrs. Emmons' swivel chair so that they would face each other; placed an empty inkwell where Mr. McDevitt could drop the ashes of his cigar into it, and asked his visitor to sit down. Mr. McDevitt relighted his cigar, and then, with apology, pulled out his case and offered it to Henri. In spite of Dr. Forbes’ disturbing remarks, Henn accepted. Mr. McDevitt gazed around theshabby, ill-lighted room. “Mr. Lemay,” he said, “I think you know about my associates and otir plans. Well, we have been enjoying the sights of your beautiful city for a couple of weeks now and we’re ready to begin.” “1 wish you success," Henri said. “Thank you, suh,” Mr. McDevitt took another deep puff of his cigar. “I’ve met a good many people in Charleston, Mr. Lemay, and they ail speak weft of you.” “I’m very glad to hear it.” “In fact,” said Mr. McDevitt, “you have the name of being the most honest man in Charleston. A great compliment, suh.” .Henri bowed. ? (To Be Continued)
