Married Life the Second Year

MK OWA BEAUTY SECRETS"

By MABEL HERBERT URNER. DEAR Warren: It is quite ten, but the whole house is quiet. They all go to bed here so early. But I cannot sleep. And somehow I want to write to you. Dear, if only I could have taken this visit, feeling that everything was "right" between us, I would have enjoyed it. But as it ia, I have been .here only a day, already I a mnervous and restless and thinking constantly of you. I am wondering if things will be any better when I return.

"Oh, Warren, why can't we get along? when I love you so much; when I am willing to do almost anything to make you happy, why do you make it so hard? At times it seems that I can do nothing to please you, that everything I say and do only irritates you. Do you realize that for months my attitude has been a strained effort to concilliate you, to avoid your displeasure, to keep you in a good humor? Surely that is not the province of a wife. HAD SHE BEEN ASSERTIVE. Sometimes I feel it would have been much better if I had been more assertive and not tried too hard to please you, If I had made you understand in the very beginning that my happiness must be considered as well as yours. , I think my very servility, my very eagerness to appease you, has. in itself become to you a source of irritation. And yet, how can I change now? In the few times I have tried, you have only crushed me down and I have not had the courage, or the strength, to stand out against you. Oh, Warren Warren I am afraid of the future afraid of what it holds for us. I did not, tell you that mother said if w did not have this temporary separation now, we would have a much longer one later on. Don't you realize what that means? If mother, even in her short visit with us, felt we could not go on much longer, that we were fast approaching a time when Oh, I cannot put it into words. And yet I believe that, In your heart, you love me. At least I know you love no one else. Whatever else I have had to bear in these two years of married life, it has not been that. Somehow, now that I am away from you, I realize it all even more, clearly than I did, and that is what I am hoping my absence will do for you.

With the exception of the few months before Winifred's birth, do you know how little consideration I have had from you? Oh. Warren, you can't imagine how I must feel when just the ordinary courtesy of a friend should mean so much to me. I am writing this because there are some things easier to write than say. When we are together our thoughts are usually on the point of dissention that is uppermost at the time. But now that we are separated I see things more as a whole. And I am hoping that you (Unfinished and not sent.) (The Letter she sent.) Wednesday, May 3rd. Dear Warren It it not quite 10 but the whole house is quiet. They all go to bed so early here.

Write me a long letter, dear. Tell me how you are getting along. Is De.lia looking after you as she should? I forgot to tell her about your laundry. Will write her tomorrow.

On Motherhood The Duty of a Wife to Her Unborn Children Is Clear-Cut Maternity Should Be the Holy Thins; It Is Meant to Be.

THE UNWED MOTHER TO THE WIFE By ELLA WHEELER WILCOX. I had been almost happy for an hour, lxst to the world that knew me In the park Among strange fac?s; while my little g:irl Leaped with the squirrels, chirruped ith the birds. And wiih the sunlight glowed. She was eo dear, : , ;' So beautiful, so sweet; and for the time The roe of love, shorn of its thorn of shame, Bloomed in my heart. Then sudenly you passed. 1 sat alone upon the public bench: You with your lawful husband, rode in state; And when your eves fell on me. and my child. They were not eyes, but daggers, poison tipped. God! how good women slaughter with a look: And like cold steel, your glance cut thro my heartStruck every petal from the rose of love And left the raggen stalk alive with thorns. My little one came running to my side And called me Mother. It was like a blow Between the eyes; and made me sick with pain And then it seemed as if each bird and breezeTook up the word, and changed its nyllablea From Mother into Magdalene; and cried My shame to all the world. It was your eyes Which did all this. But listen now to raa ( Not you alone, but all the barren wivea Who, like you. flaunt their virtue in the face of fallen women): I do chance to know The crimes you think are hidden from all men (Save one who took your gold, and sold his skill And jeopard I red his name for your base ends). I know how you have sunk your soul In sense Like any wanton; and refused to bear The harvest of your pleasure planted seed; I know how you have crushed the tender bud. Which held a soul; how you have blighted it; And made the holy miracle of birth A wicked travesty of God's design; Yea, many buds, which might be blossoms now And beautify your selfish, arid life. Have you destroyed because you chose to keep The aimless freedom and the purposeless Self seeking liberty of childless wives. I was an untaught girl. By nature led. By love and passion blinded, I became An unwed mother. You, an honored wife. Refuse the crown of motherhood; defy The laws of nature; and fling baby -souls Back In the face of God. And yet you dare Call me a sinner, and yourself a saint; . And all the world smiles on you and Its doors Swing wide at your approach.

The bath must call the good red blood to the surface to feed the tissues. I once felt that milk baths were the particular tonic that my skin needed. But now I have found a simple remedy for troubled skins and a delightful aid for tinetextured skins. It is what we French call "son." I think it is bran in your delightful language. At any grocery shop you may buy bags of this very cheaply, since it is the chaff left from the "corn" of which bread is made. HOW TO DO IT. Allons! To proceed. Fill great bags of soft white cheesecloth with the bran and place them in the tub

in which you are letting a pure stream of hot water run. A soft, flour-like substance will exude from the bags of bran, and your bath will take on a milky appearance. Enter and lave your body in the cleansing, purifying water. Scrub your skin with the bran bags. It will slough impurities and dead skin. It will set your blood racing and coursing through your body. At the end of thisJjath your skin will be off a satin white texture soft and pliable, clean and healthy.
