I was to beconie a mother. I burst in fo tears in his office, and he had all he could do to gulet me ; "Don't be frightened, you have some wonths yet before anything will happen," he told me, and I blurt- ed out: "Int not frightened for myself, and 1 adore children. But my husband won't""--<then I .stopped I had al- most made this physician my con- fidant. Almost let hin seo that my fear of having children was my fear that' by doinz so I should lose my husband. "He'll be fond of them, all right, when thay are his own," the doctor gruffly answered, Then he patted my shoulder kindly. "You are nervous and upset. I'll give you something to steady you. Don't worry, stay out doors as much as possible, and--try AAA tt VN A AlN, THE NEW PATH set foolish notions into that litle head.' Was not to g a woman so distressed?

But I loved my husband dear- ly, dnd I would rather be childless foraver than to lose his love---@ven the little I supposed belonged, 16 me. I stopped at the druggists and had the prescription filled, the Walk- ed sfgwly home, | had thought of stopping to.see Evelyn, but the thought of her happiness with my "Mt- tie namesake made me change my mind and go directly home. 5 I felt as if this were another new path I must walk; that it was going to be hard and stony, I felt con- vincéd. But I would have to do my best Sorréw Tempered With Joy, I wondered if I should tell George what the doctor had told me. 1 de- cided I woulda wot. 1 would keep it to myself as long as possible. Then, in te midst of my fear, came a thrill of joy at the thought that I was to have a child of my own---a thrill that remained with me for hours. I should now make dainty things for my own baby as well as for Evelyn's I would not tell even Evelyn. I would keep my secret from Bveryone as long asl could. As it came time for George to come home to dinner, the thought of what Julia Oollins had said again was up- permost in my mind. fastidious to an extreme. He was most particular as to my looks; he always had said he admired my girl- ish slenderness and that it was the [Rasen my clothes looked so well on m All that it would mean to hgve George WAS | kim fee! ashamed of me, rushed over me and | threw myself on the bed in a perfect agony of dread, all my joy gone in the thought that I should lose my busband's love. * Added Fear. Then, too, came another thought. George went out a great deal with- out me now, went where-other wo- men were--women he Had known and admired before he Knew me. Now he would go all the more, prob- ably; and he would also have an ex- feuse not to take me éven occasion ally. I saw months of loneliness be- fore me, months of neglect greater than ever yet had been my portion. I did not cry. George would be cross if I did. But I sobbed my mis- ery 'in dry teariess sobs that: ex- hausted me. When I looked at my- self in the glass I was shocked, Hur- riedly I bathed and dressed, making myself as attractive as possible in a gown George had chosen for me. Then 1 rouged my cheeks, and just touched my lips with red. I must keep lookig well as long as I could. Yet, in spite of all my preparations, I.looked haggard and almost ill and Celeste begged me not to try to go down to dinner. "Madame, please rest. You will be 111," she said as I sank baek in my chair with a sigh, after she had dressed my hair. "No, I shall dine with Mr. ard." "Madame is worried.
