As Mariam, Mr. Gordom and I drove away from the hotel toward the theatre, I felt as if I was starting on a long journey. My determina- tion to become independent of my husband in seeking to amuse myself had been upon my mind so constantly "during the last few days that 1 had come to feel that I p: through some critical period o life. Perhaps I was. Who con tell? Whenever « woman decide regard her husband in any ph f her daily activity, entirely new vista are opened up. She begins to. see things 'which she mever saw before. Roads branch off at unexpected places from the beaten pathway, and new scenes are to be discovered on either hand. | This simple thing of going to the} theatre therefore took on the aspect of a momentous event. Had I been| going with Arthur I should have! hurried through my toilet, pulling on | my gloves as we left the hotel, and we should have spent the time going in| almost gloomy silence, for of late! Arthur had come to think of wiind except his business, And while| watdhiing the play both would be thinking how quickly we could get away, for Arthur would have shown | plainly that he was there merely to] give yme the pleasure of seeing the) play, and I should have been mfser-| able because he was suffering agonies| to get home. i But I was not with Arthur. I was| leaving my husband behind, not only | for the evening, but possibly, in aj sense, for the remainder of my life, | I might find that my decision to seek | my own enjoyment would lead me to) the point where he would not care io go with me and I should not care to! go with him. I might find that the pleasure I enjoyed with others was so | much greater than any I might find! with Arthur that he and I might, by | mutual consent, agree to go our sep- | arate ways thereafter. | These thoughts made me quiet ¢n- | ough as we started on our way, but | Marian's chatter soon banished the | Y + Gordon, who | , somewhat stately at first, sdinder the same influ- ol me all smiles apd gra- clo "I don't know a thing about the play. . 1 read in advance of plays that I am to see. 80 much trouble with my dress that I didn't have time to read anything about it.

"I haven't the least mite of know- ledge about it," I replied. "Perhaps Mr, Gordon can tell us."

"Nothing wrong?' Mariam inquir- ed quickly, as she" detected a note of weariness in her uncle's voice. "Nothing that cannot be straight- ened out,' he replied. "But I shall not spoél the evening by talking busi- ness. I merely mentioned it to es- {tablish an alibi." "I intentionally did not read any- thing about jt because I did not want to have any preconceived ideas on the subject," Mariam 'said, © "I have found that wy imagination becomes toa busy when I form all sorts of ideas of heroine and hero, and some-~ times even the villain, and of course, my ideas age always wrong and I am disappointed." "I never though of that," said 1 seriously, "but now that you have mentioned it, I know that I am pre- cisely the same way. [I shall adopt your method, Mariam." § "The play is called 'The Rose.' hii 1 fle not only for the evening, but possibly, Hfe. (that is all T know about it," Mr. Gor- {don interjected. "It is a name which does not indicate anything definite as to its-story, if there is a story. Sometimes plays do not have any story to speak of these days." "That remarks sounds as if you were 80 years old, Uncle John, and were just leading up to the state- ment that in the good old bygone times, when you were young, plays did have stories, and plenty of them." "1 wasn't going to say it, but I did think it," confessed Mr, Gordon. "I remember some of thém very vividly even yet. There was not only plot, bt there was. conterplot and plots within plots. Sometimes there were several villains, The world has g n somewhat better in that respect. : quently now there isn't even. one villain in a play." "Perhaps it is the plays that are getting better," suggested Mariam. "1 will not admit that," replied Mr. fiordon. "But I will not argue the point because I should be sure to win the argument. - Neither of you is old 2nough tofnow anything about what plays used to be like." "I've seen 'Uncle Tom's Cabin" and 1 imagine Roxene also hasgseen it; haven't you, Roxane " "Yes. I wouldn't admit it to every- body, but to a close friend like you I do not mind telling the truth."
