Confessions of a Bride As we neared home, my mind turned to dear Mother lyorlcu-r. She had been distinctly out of all the adventures of the Loritncr family for several mouths. Her only shure had been the big worries we had heaped The Modern Girl Is- upon her. Finally Almost Too Sophlstl- they had all culcated.She lias to Be. minated In the grief which only widows know. Thus does life treat many old women and not even her vast riches could save Mother Lorituer from the common lot or her sex. But somehow I couldn't feel altogether sorry for Mother Lorlmer except as she mourned fcr Daddy. I knew that her days had been crammed with Joyful experiences while we were gone. There was the sweet Baity Bubs to be cared for and played with; there were lectures and concerts and plays; and pleasant people to meet; and always books —and more books. Mother Lorlmer could never bo unhappy because her mind was stocked with such a variety of Interests. By natnre she was resourceful and adaptable. She "fitted In” auy group of persons. She never bored anybody. There wers no empty moments In hoj life. Looking over the smartly dressed women on -the tra4n, I couldn't beln wondering what would become of them all when they should/grow old. It Deemed to me that most of them were going to be rather unhappy. - They had no resources, like Mother Lorlmer. They had given their minds to but one subject'—how to be beautiful. Their success In that was

As long ss a woman's heauty lasts, her attraction for her husband will endure. But that attraction may end some day. Perhapa her man may die In middle age.

the young and pretty variety. That Is what the audience demands But off stage, women continue to grow old. As I meditated, it seemed to me that a new and strange variety of "old women” was on the way, such a variety without resources or compensations as had never been known on the earth. Even Industry had no place for them. Formerly, a grandmother could tend to the Urea and make the Children'n blouses. But now the Janitor watches the coals, and the clothes are made In the shops. The reward for cramming her brain and her heart with tstere.its. as Mother la)rimer had done, must give any woman a vast amount of genuine satisfaction at the end of her Ufo, I thought. But the result of thwarting nature, as many childless women do, for the sake of keeping their own beauty, means utter wretchedness in old age. Mother I.orimer greeted us with the bravdrv* we expected to find. That Is, she did not shed a single tear. Her aon* liked her that way, and sho knew it, but I felt that she would have to pay for her admirable poise in the stillness of her own chamber. "We don't give up hope, you know. Mother,” said Bob. "Jim and I are going back, now that we’ve handed the girls over to you and bax’e seen and talked with you.” And going back would be so futile, I thought. And It means that I have got to stay In the big house with Mother and Chrya when 1 am simply wild to get back J,o iny own wee home, simply mad to set up housekeeping xvith Bob again. 1 Again?
