Confessions of a Wife
(Co .rlglit, 1014, by the New*,
panei- Enterprise Association.)
I dropped in at
the hook shop
this morning.
Mary looked
surprisingly pret
ty as I entered.
She was gowned
in a plain, little,
black frock with
white turn-over
cuffs and collar,
the one note of
distinction being
a bunch of fresh
violets at her
belt. I was won
dering who gave
them to her when
she looked up
with h perfectly dazzling smile.
'.Mary's teeth and smile are the
prettiest thingß about her.)
"I tell you I'm glad to see you,
Margie.
"You know how busy I've been,
Mary."
"You don't need to apologize,
dear girl. I know about all the
things you have been through,
and I kept out of it because I
knew that I could not help you.
I also know, dear, that if I had
needed you you would have been
on the spot."
"Dad and Dick say you are the
best little bookshop-keeper in the
business."
"Did they say that?" asked
Mary, and again that exquisite
■mile glorified her face.
"I can't tell you how good Dick
•as been to me. He has gone over |

the books with me daily and
showed me just how to keep
things straight. Of course, the
bookkeeper is all right, but I
wanted to know about it.
"At first the olerks were a lit
tle adverse to taking orders from
me, but Dick settled that. Since
Jack got well he has only been
here occasionally after the first
two or three days."
"Margie," continued Mary,
rather breathlessly, after she
had shut the door of the little
cubby Bhe called her office, "I
have not told this to anyone, but
Jack and I have had a perfectly
dreadful quarrel over the busi
ness. He wanted to overdraw his
drawing account. (He had done
this to the extent of $700 before
he was sick.) I told him that he
could only draw $100 a month
and that the other fifty would
have to apply on his debt to the
firm.
"He—he almost struck me he
was so angry, and asked me when
I was made guardian of his busi
ness and his money.
"I told him that both Dick and
Dad said 1 was to be kept in
charge, and until they told me I
was not doing right I should run
the business as I thought best. I
think I was right to say this, for
the Bales have enlarged surpris
ingly since I took hold of it.
"He sneeringly said he had no
ticed a number of the men about
town had become alarming stu
dious of late." Mary blushed
slightly. "Of course, I can't turn
my man away who wants to buy
books, Mai-Rio, but th* two big
sales I have made, both reaching
to over a tlioiiHiuid dollars, have
been made to women, and they
were both 80 pleased. One of
them *nt me those violets thil
morning, witli the prettiest little
note. You nee, I storked her
library for her. She had never
read very much, but they have
suddenly come into money and 1
have made a good customer."
"Where did you get your
knowledge of books, Mary?" I
aslied, somewhat astonished that
an ex-choruH girl should blossom
out as a student. It was not at
all according to the popular tra
ditions.
"My father was a great student
and I began to road under his tui
tion before I wan seven. By the
time he died my taste was formed.
While the other girls were out
having what they called "a good
time" I was usually In my room
reading."
"You are a very wonderful
girl, my dear sister," I said as I
put my arm about her. To my
surprise she burnt into tears. "Oh,
Margie, Margie, 1 seem to have
made such a mess of my life. I
went into the chorus when my
father died, for I did not know
what else to do. Margie, I had
never had a sweetheart in my life
when I met .Jack, and I know now
that I was terribly lonely; that
my soul was crying out for its
mate.
"Jack, as you know, is hand-
Rome and he was devoted to me.
He plied me with thoso attentions
that a man supposedly reserves
only for the girl he loves and In
tends to marry. I loved him un
reservedly, and although It may
be called unwomanly to say it, I
would have given myself to him
as unreservedly, but he insisted
upon marrying me secretly. I
wanted to wait, but he insisted,
and I lovod him."

CATARRH TROUBLE
ENDED BY HYCMEI
jAn Inexpensive I■=■— •I - 1 -<-il and
Most Kffective Remedy.
Surely try Hyoniei, nature's
harmless remedy for catarrh,
colds, asthma, bronchitis, or croup
of children —a treatment that is
pleasant to use, and bo certain of
results that Crown Drug f'o. sells
it on the "No-cure-no-pay" plan.
Hyomei is not a cure-all but a
specific for distressing catarrh and
similar ailments. You breathe
Hyomei bo that its antiseptic med
ication at once reaches the irritat
ed and diseased tissues, healing
and soothing the sore spots.
Get a Hyomei outfit, which con
tains inhaler and bottle of liquid,
at once. Put twenty drops of
H>omei Into the inhaler and
breathe it a few times during the
day. There is no treatment so sat
isfying for it instantly opens the
stopped-up air passages — you
breathe freely, the unclean dis
charges from the nose stop, and
dull headaches vanish—even the
worst cases respond quickly.
