One Woman’s Story

CHAPTER XVI.
nHB first year of Mary Dan
forth’s life In the business
world dragged Its dreary
length away. In the beginning there
had been some excitement attend
ant upon the new experience, and
this had buoyed her up. To be sure
there had been a great wrench in giv
ing up the home of which she and
her mother were so fond, but for her
mother’s sake the girl put her own
griefs in th<° background. She re*
membered that once, several years
ago, h»r father had said i«* his wife:
“She is singularly dependent and
sensitive. Mary, if anything should
happen to me you must look after
her as tenderly as 1 have tried to do.
I depend upon you for that.”
The words recurred to the girl
of ten through the wearisome months
that followed upon her father's
death, when she saw the elderly
woman’s sad face grow sadder as sh*
tried to accustom herself to changed
conditions. When Mary left home
each morning It was with the appre
elation that her mother must he both
housekeeper and houseworker, and
that she was not used to sucli toil.
The girl would rise early in order
that she herself might make her own
bed and set her own room to rights,
then help about the breakfast.
Yet in spite of these efforts on her
part there were the dishes to be
washed, the tiny flat to be swept and
dusted, and the meals to be pre
pared by the widow. Mary would
urge her to eat a substantial lunch
eon, yet she always feared that her
own ideas of what "substantial”
meant in this connection and her
mother’s interpretation of the word
differed as soon as the daughter was
out of sight. Therefore she would
order from the butcher on her way
downtown a chop or some other
nourishing tidbit for her mother. Del
icacies were a strain upon Mary Dan-
forth’s small purse, but her parent’s
strength must be kept up. Yet. do
what the girl would, she was sure
that when night came the patient
widow was too tired or too depressed
to sleep. She also knew—better than
did her mother—that she herself,
often went without food at the noon
hour to save the price of a lunch
eon. A few crackers slipped into her
bag before she left home would take
the place of the noon-day meal.
In spite of these economies the
family finances were very low. More
than once Mrs. Dan forth had been
forced to use a little of what she
called her “Insurance money” to get
herself some necessary bit of cloth
ing. Each time this was done Mary
was impressed afresh with the hope
lessness of her efforts to support two
women decently on her small salary.
Business was dull in all branches,
and real estate was not booming.
James Pearson, her employer, had a
wife with enough money In her own
right to support herself and her hus
band. so tiie success of his enter
prise was not essential to his exist
ence. He kept I lie business because
be liked to feel that he was not de
pendent upon his wife. Mary often
wished fervently that she was in the
employ of some man to whom work
was a necessity and who would be
energetic and progressive. But she
I dared not abandon a certainty for an
uncertainty.
It was at this Juncture that Her
bert Fischer rn.1t" as Ills friends
called him), got into the habit <»f
coming to !’• arson's office to talk
over a possible real estate deal. At
first the girl barely noticed him, so
absorbed was she in the many duties
that fell to her lot, for she soon dis
covered that she was not only ste
nographer and typewriter, but assist
ant bookkeeper and office boy com
bined. Night found hVr Jaded and
nervous, looking forward eagerly to
the eltter from Gordon Craig that
often awaited her when she returned
to her flat.
Twice Fletcher, who had remained
in the Inner office talking to Pear
son, came into the outer office just
is Mary was putting on her coat and
hat, and offered to escort her to the
levftted where she was to take the
train uptown Both times the girl
had declined coldly, yet the second
time she did this her heart smote
her as she saw his disappointed ex
pression Somehow, she thought, as
she walked toward the Cortland t
street station, the look In the man’s
• yes reminded her of that In a faith
ful dog’s eyes. She was so lonely
that even the thought of a dog’s de
votion would comfort her, she said to
herself with whimsical humor. Yet
this man Fletcher was a common
kind of a person, she decided—not a
bit like tiie men of her world.
Then she smiled bitterly. At least
not like the men of the world she
used to live in Perhaps, after all,
a girl who worked In a little office
on a mean salary, and who lived
in a five room apartment in the poor
est section of West Eighty-fourth
street, could hardly afford to sneer
at anything Just because he was not
educated to the standard that had
once been hers, and had not the re
finement that was traditional in the
circle of which she had once formed
a part. That circle had melted away
since her father’s death. She could
not keep pare with her friends, and
one by one they had dropped out of
her life. She did not care, she mut
tered untruthfully to herself. When
one declares bitterly that she “does
not care” that Is usually when real
ly “cares” most.
And that night there was no letter
from Craig. He usually wrote her
three times a week, but this was the
fourth time In six weeks that his let
ter had not come on the day that
she expected It.
"Never mind, dearest.” she said to
her mother, who commented on the
non-arrival of the expected epistle
and who remarked that "It was queer
that Gordon had not written regular
ly lately,” and “hoped that nothing
was wrong" with her daughter s
lover. “Gordon and I understand
each other, and he Is extremely busy
just now. One can hardly expect a
man to write as often as a woman
does, you know'.”
Her moth' r kissed the speaker ten
derly. “That’s so. darling.” she as
sented, “and the busier Gordon Is
the more work he will do, and the
sooner he will come for you, dearie—
and for me.”
“Yes!" the girl assented, bravely.
“That is true, dear mother.”
But in her heart she was saying.
"How can 1 stand this kind of life
unless he comes soon! How can 1
stand It!”
The first fig
ure is a dainty
and simple
pose, but it
works beauti
fully into any
of the dances
that are so
popular to-day,
for, as we all
know, dancing
is coming into
its own, and
one of the
most beautiful
and widely Neg
lected arts is
now making a
place for itself.
How to Acquire a Beautiful
Figure Through Dancing.
It Is mastered you will find that you
have true grace at your command In
this, as in so many dancing move
ments, the figure must be poised light
ly on the ball of the foot. Just such
simple movements as poising the body
lightly on the toes or ball of the
foot will help avoid civilization’s arch
enemy, flatfoot. and will help in the
acquisition of a light, springy walk.
Poise the body lightly on the right
foot, with a general inclination toward
the right. Stretch the right arm up
and out and droop the left arm from
shoulder to just below the waist in
one long curve. Even while the body
is swaying in this position, lift the
left leg frorfi the hip and sway it
backward from the knee, making one
line from knee to toes and bringing
the fcot almost on a level with the
knee. Now stand on the left foot and
alternate from side to side.
This exercise is by no means easy
to master, but there is no movement
of which I know that can be more
absolutely counted on to bring the
figure into the long, graceful, undu
lating lines we all so much admire.

W HEN I was a child of 11 I lined
to go out in the gardens of my
English home and study the
statues and statuettes that decorated
It. For hours at a time I used to
copy the pores of those lovely classi
cal statues, and I found the greatest
entertainment and joy in trying to
imitate those beautiful poses. This
was the beginning of my dancing, and
from the taste I acquired for classical
pose and movement has come, J feel
sure, whatever measure of bodily
grace Is mine.
Dancing is essentially feeling, and
the expression of that feeling well

makes for grace and for strong,
healthy bodies as no other form of
exercise can, because no other form
of exercise is as universally possible,
as entirely within the reach of all,

etry we all have down in our natures.
To-day I am giving you two ex
ercises that express the joy of living
to .i wonderful extent and give the
body much to rejbice in. for they
make for grace, for lightness and f«
the universally desired bodily beauty.
The First Figure.
The first figure is a dainty and
simple pose, but it works* beautifully
into any of the dances that are so
popular to-day. for, as we all know,
dancing is coming into its own. and

so many
dancing move

figure must be

but it should be worked out in such
perfection that it can be (lone with

This exercise, like all other dancing
movements, must express lightness
and joy. for dancing is dancing onlv

ideals of grace and beauty, and thus
in time it will bring the body to grace

MAIDEN MUSINGS.
What chance has .sane, sensible
reason against the fortified power of
a wild habit?
Loss is unpleasant—but it never
rises to the dignity of calamity un
less it is the loss of self-respect.
There is more real joy in carrying
out intentions than in merely plan
ning to do it.
A good way to be at peace with
the world is to expect little of it, to
be unafraid of it, to see some good
in it, and to give much to it!

THOU ART LIKE A FLOWER.
(After the German of Heinrich
Heine.)
Ah, Love, you are a flower.
So fair, so sweet, so pure;
I think in sacred wonder
Of storms you must endure.
Passing between Scylla and
Uharybdis is no feat compared with
the daily position of the mother whose
children are always demanding more
money of her. and whose husband is
always telling her she must get along
with less.
Before the oldest girl in the family
is sixteen her father finds his throne
tottering, and by the time she is
eighteen he hasn't enough authority
left to order a favorite old picture
left on the parlor wall.
When father scolds and goes out
slamming the door, the daughter
wishes she could have a man like
that for a husband about a minute,
and she'd cure him, and her mother
tells her she will have a chance some
day.
It is not very creditable to those
children who live and grow up. but
in the years to come the mother finds
her greatest comfort in the thought
that the child that would have al
ways been appreciative and kind, and
never have hurt her. is the one that
died when it was a baby.
UZZLED writes as follows:
“I am a young girl 20 years
of age and am deeply in love
with a man eight years my senior,
| who reciprocates my love twice-fold.
I He has a very good position in busi
ness and is all that can be expected
from a well-bred, respectable man.
My only objection to him is that he is
a widower and has two small chil
dren. My parents also object for
this reason, and it is their only rea
son. If they thought the union would
make me happy I am quite sure they
would not stand in my way. I have
met other young men. but can not
seem to care for any of them.”
The experience of wooing and win
ning a wife, of tasting the Joy of be
ing the head of one’s own home, the
creature comforts that domesticity
means for a man. the broadening of
heart and sympathies when the wife
goes bravely alone to the shadow of
death and returns with a child in her
arms, the anguish of spirit when the
mother falls sick and the desolation
of the home when she is taken out
of It forever, all tend to make a man
more tender and considerate.
Though his home may have had its
di scorn forte, he learns to regard it as
his home; not his father's, or his
mother’s, but his own home. He also
learned what an unimportant factor
he was In its making, and realised
the value of the WOMAN as he nev
er realized it in his bachelor days.
That the experience is educational
in a way that means more love, more
consideration and an easing of the
burden for the second wife, 1 am so
certain that I wonder that the greater
eligibility of the widower over the
bachelor has not become an accepted
| fact.
Not Recognized.
Older women recognise it. Younger
women do not because of the pretty
| sentiment they attach to being a
1 man's first love.

then, is that he has two small chil
dren. Poor little motherless babes!
1 hope this little girl who has won
this man’s love has a heart broad
enough to take in his children; a
courage that will sustain her when,
as a stepmother, she is maligned
and misunderstood; and a charity
that is big enough to cover their
faults as effectually as If they were
her own children.
Someone must mother the mother
less, and the task is hard at its best,
but one that is made light in the all-
sustaining power -of Love. If this
man and his girl have for* each other
a love that will stand the strain, their
union will be happy though he had
ten children.
J ULY 6.—“Tell me your name, Lit
tle Girl,” said the woman who had
rolled out such expressions as
“the fundamental principles of liber
ty” as naturally as an entirely differ
ent type of woman rolls out the words
"darlingest” and “cute," showing to
which class she belonged.
Manette looked at me. I nodded my
head. Then, to my surprise, the child
told her real name—my name, and
the name l was trying to keep secret.
“Blake,” I hastily added. “Blake,”
she repeated after mo.
The visitor looked grimly satisfied,
j Her suspicions were confirmed!
"You are Manette H , the little
1 heiress. You are not Manette Blake
at all, and if you will come with me
1 will take you to your guardian. It
you,” turning to me, “interfere, I will
have you arrested.”
I laughed. “I hope,” I said, put
ting fresh bait on my hook, and cast
ing it out into the water, “that I will
live long enough to see your sex in
power. You are so inconsequential, so
altog’ether unreasoning, and so cock
sure that you are right that we will
no longer be forced to turn to the
! joke books for amusement. The Con-
! gressional Records, in that glorious
I period, will cause a laugh to ring
I around the world.”
“When the women are in power.”
| she retorted, "idlers like you who go
around insuiting women will be flog
ged.”
This was growing interesting. “1
am not idle,” I replied. “I am fishing.
I have been fishing for three hours
and haven’t had a bite. That indi
cates persistence, steadfastness of
purpose and antbition that will not be
discouraged. As for being insult
ing ”
A Bluff Called.
I turned and looked her square in
the face. ”1 don’t see,” I said, slowly,
and as if giving it deep thought, “why
you used that word. To insult you I
should have to regard you or your
intentions seriously. Believe me,
madame, I had not done that.”
I drew my line carefully in and
packed up my box of fishing tackle.
"Come, Manette.” I said to the child,
i “let us go and be arrested. Are you
| ready?” turning to the very red-faced
woman who stood beside me.
“If you will walk with ifs as far as
! the cottage I will get a horse, or do
j you prefer to have the child ride with
j with you and have me tied to your
horse’s tail and dragged as captives
were in the olden times?”
I had called her bluff! “I want
nothing.” in anger, "hut to see that I
child restored to its guardian.”
“Then rest easy,” I replied, taking
off my hat and bowing. “She is with
her guardian now.”
“If you are Mr. Max ” she began.
and could say no more, for she real
ized what a spectacle she had made
of herself.
I bowed again and turned away. A
moment later she came running after
me. “I hope.” she stammered, “that
you will forgive me, but your

and was* soon out of sight.
"She is the kind of woman,” J
mused, “that thinks that to be a man
is prima facie evidence of guilt. An 1
the trouble is. her number is increas
ing.”
A New Spot.
July 16.—Manette and I have found
a new picnic spot, and for several
days we had eluded the interloper, but
on the fourth day I found her sitting
on the porch when we got home. She
had come, she said, to borrow Man
ette to take part in a tableaux to be
giver, for the cause. "She would
make.” she said, "such a pretty little
Goddess of Liberty. Besides.” she ar
gued, “the change would do her good.
She needs a little civilization.”
That made me smile. "Civilization”
of the brand found at summer resorts,
consists in sitting around on hotel
verandas, comparing surgical opera
tions and crochet patterns and brand
ing as "bold” and “scheming” the
woman who receives the attention of
the only man at the place. I could
imagin Manette being pas.^ed around
by the crochet cut-ups who would
speculate on the price of her clothes,
her uncle’s wealth, and seek to secure
through her childish frankness• the
k^y to my family secrets.
T refused. “The child,” I explained,
"is dearer to me than the Cause. She
Is in bed by 8 every night and has
never been permited to Kay up late
and grow feverish and excited taking
part like a manikin in some foolish
show. I know that mothers let their
children do it, but I am not a mother.
I am only a man.”
“And the rudest man that ever
lived.” she retorted, striding out to
get on her horse.
I did not offer to assist her. I
never have. It would be inconsistent
for h“r to accept. 1

I do not know* how she got here nor
when. All I know’ Is that her atten
tions are very grateful to me, and
that there have been days when I
seemed to be slipping away from
everyone Into nowhere, and only the
firm, cool touch of her hand held me.
I think I was conscious of her hand
and its helpfulness and soothing mag
ic for days before I opened my eyes
wide enough to look her in the face.
Even now T do not know’ w’hat she
looks like, and am not interested. I
lie for hours with my eyes closed,
asking nothing more in life than that

and soft and gentle, be there to turn

tion is too great, to smooth my pil
low, and 1 hear a voice somewhere

know when she came. I only know
that every few hours she comes from
some remote place—the next room !s f
remote in my presnt condition—and

to remove freckles.
Learns Something.
Ills previous experience has made
him dependent, tender and broader
and considerate. He has two chil
dren and he knows that the woman
ho takes to the altar promises more
than to be a loyal wife. She prom
ises to be a loving mother to his chil
dren. to accept their resentment and
ingratitude without complaint, and to
know that hereafter to the end of
iier days criticism will be' her lot.
He knows all this, and is grateful.
On his first wedding day he regarded
himself as a prize; the second time
he goes to the altar with two chil
dren at his heels he knows, if he is a
man and knows anything, that the
prize is the brave-hearted girl who
accompanies him.
He was confident on his first wed
ding day that he was dividing his
joys. He knows on his second wed
ding day that he is dividing his bur
dens and sorrows, and the knowledge
makes him humble.
You love him. my dear; you have
met no other man you could love. He
loves you, and I am sure your love is
big enough to take in his children. ;
Nothing counts for as much as love
If you love, you know no burden
When you love, there is no sorrow too |
hard to bear. Marry him, go on |
loving him, and so long as you love
him, you will be happy.
Not Alone.
An old Indian man, selling baskets,
called at Mrs. Allen’s one morning. He
was very anxious to make a sale. and.
after considerable parleying, he said:
"Make me an offer, madam, and see
if I don’t take you up.”
Little 5-year-old Bertha was a spec
tator to the interview, and when the
man made this remark she threw her j
arms around her mother, crying:
"Mother, if he takes you, I’ll go.
