Rachel iwent into the bathroom to prepare everything for her young mistress' morning bath, as she had ever since Ruth, a ch 1d of ten, had come to 'The Térrac (as the place was named) to live.

"There! now get me my cape. 1 won't be cold if I take that", She had seen disapproval in Rachel's eyes. "Be sure yo wears it," the nurse gaid as she 'gave it to her young mistress.

"It is necessary that the table where one eats, be A Ftistie. pleasing to the eye, if the food is to taste good," she often said, when reproved by Rachel for getting her feet wet in 'the early dew. This morning, the morning of her wedding day, she went about her task with a gay, lifting song upon ther lips. She sang for pure happi- mess But so had she sung many other mornings before she knew Brian Hackett. Why shouldn't she? Loved, indulged, she had everything to make.her happy, nothing to make her unhappy. "1 wonder i we will have a gar- den," she said aloud, as she turned toward the house, her arms filled with leaves of red and brown and gold. "Of course we won't!" she laughed quickly, "we are going to live in an apartment--for a little while." But she held the leaves a little closer and, before she arrang- ed them, she buried her face in their fresh, dewy beauty, and sighed ever sol little. To-morrow---Good-byes. The Woman Who Changed CHAPTER CXLIX. For the next two years my life went on in about the same way. I continually tried to improve myself to make of myself a well-rounded woman. It is wonderful what one can accomplish with determination. I kept up my music, even studied harder than ever 1 had before, as it was one of the means of keeping George at home. He had not chang- ed in regard to remaining out, or rather in going out evenings. Seldom did he remain at home unless we ware entertaining But IT no longer worried either him or myself about it. 1 had made up my mind I could not change him in that regard. He would not have his liberty curtailed. his goings and comings questioned now, any more than when we were first married But he questioned me. Not that it was ne- cessary. [was only too glad to have him listen while I recounted all I had done; where I had been, and with whom. When old, was delighted and so was I. ly gloated over my babies. They were strong, "bright little fellows, and looked amazingly like their fath- er even when tiny. 'Wea had a nursery fitted up on the third floor, a young girl installed to help Lena, the nurse who had been with us ever since Kenneth was born, and once again George and I were able to go-about together. Kenneth was three years my twin boys were born. George I fair- A Visit to Chicago.

Had a wire from Bab- cock. He sald Mrs. Babcock wanted you to come along." "Oh, I'd love to go--but the ba- bies." They were four months old. but I mever had been away from them. "They will be all right. Lena is perfectly capable of taking care of them and it will do you good. But you must decide at once. 1 must catch the night train." I think if I had had time to think 1 should have hesitated much lon- ger; perhaps refused altogether to go, and so missed one of the most pleasurable experiences of my life. But I had to tell him at once; I call- ed Lena in and asked her if she felt ble to care for the boys. "Yes ma'am. You go right along. With Katie to help I shall get along all right. Then Annie too is so nice with Kenneth." "Yes, I'll tell her to help you all she can. You will have your hands full with "Ted and Bob." We had named the twins Edward and Robert George had insisted that his boys have good sustantial names. "It is too much of a handicap to a boy when he has to go through life as an Algernon, or a Claude," he had said when I rather objected .to Ed- ward and Robert as being common gort of names, and suggested Paul and one or two others. "All right dear. When 1 have a girl don't you dare interfere I had replied laughingly, and he had prom: ised that he wouldn't. "No, should any girls come our way you can name them whatever you please. But my boys must be manly with a girlish or silly name." Helen Worries Over the Children.
