The demands upon a mother's health are many and severe. Her own health trials and her children's welfare toils, while hurried meals, broken rest and much indoor living tend to weaken her constitution.

Every drop of blood deserted Geraldine's heart, and if he had been an armed foe she could not have had & more sickening sensation of reluc- tance and fright. She could not meet she was all unready Dean! He glanced at her, swept her fig- ure with a swift, appraising look that is a man's deference to beauty, and walked on. There was no change of color in his face, no change of ex- ression. The astonishing truth urst upon her, and she went swiftly on, walking quickly and quietly, only anxious to put the block--and another another--between them.
