There were six of them sitting around tbs stove behind me. “ Oh, yes. my little maid" (above all things I abhor to be called a little m aid!) one o f them cried. “ You can buy them If you’ve got money enough; but I don't reckon our friend Jones here bss got them for sale.” Then they all laughed again, and winked at each other. (That's another disgusting thing— winks when you ask a perfectly civil queetlon ! But what can you do? Stand It. that's alL There's such s lot of things we poor women have to stand!) Then they quieted down and looked very sober — the kind o f sober you know ts faced with laughs In the back—and began to tell me what a divorce really was. I can't remember them all, but I can some of them. O f course I understand now that these men were trying to he smart, and were talking fo r each other, not for me. And I knew It then— a little. W e know a lot more things sometimes than folks think we do. Well, as near ss I cun remember It was like this: “ A divorce Is a knife that cuts a knot that hadn't ought to ever been tied,” said one. “ A divorce Is a Jump In tlie dark," said anotber. "No, It ain't. I t ’s a Jump from the frying pan Into the fire," piped up Mr. Jones. "A divorce Is the comedy of tbe rich end the tragedy o f the poor," said a little man who wore glasses. "Divorce Is s nice »mushy poultice that may help but won't heal," cut In a nsgpwolce. "Divorce Is a guldepoet marked, 'l l — I to Heaven.' but lots o f folks miss Wall, I Asked Mr. Jones If You Could Buy Divorcee, and If Hs Had Them for Salo. fun In having It yourself. Beside«, they were very unkind and disagree- able, and tiragged a lot about their divorces. They said mine wras tame, and had no sort o f snap to It. wheo they found Mother didn't have a lover waiting In tbe Dext town, or Father hadn't run off with Ida stenographer, or nobody had shot anybody, or any thing. Ttiat made me mad, and I let them aee It. good sml plain. I told them our divorce was perfectly all right and genteel and respectable; that Nurse Harsh said It was. Ours was going to be Incompatibility, for one thing, which meant that you got on each other's nerves, and Just naturally didn't care for each other any more. But they only laughed, and »aid even more dloagreeable things, so that I didn't want to go to school any longer, and I told Mother oo. and the reason, too, o f course. But, dear me. I wished right off that I hadn't I supposed she was going to be superb and haughty and disdainful, and say things thst would put thos« girls where they belonged. But, my stars! Ilow could I know that ah# was going to burst Into such s «torn» of sobs and clasp me to her bosom, and get my face all wet and cry out: “ Oh. my baby, my baby— to think I hare sub jected you to this, my baby, my b ab y!" And I couldn't say s thing to com fort her, or make tier stop, even when I told her over end over again that I wasn't a baby. I was almost a young lady: and I wasn't being subjected to anything bad. I liked It— only I didn't like to hare those girls brag no. wheo our divorce was sway .bead of theirs, anyway. But she only cried more anil mors, and held me tighter and tighter, rock ing back and forth in her chair. Sho took me out o f school, though, and had a lady come to teach me all by myself, so I didn't h.tvs to hear those girls brag any more, anyway. That was better. But sbe wasn't any happier herself. I could see that. There were lots of other ladles there — beautiful ladles — only »he didn't seem to like them any better than I did the girls. I wondered I f maybe they bragged, too, and I asked her; bat sbe only began to cry again, and moan. “ W h it have I done, what have I done?"—and I had to try all over again to comfort her. But I couldn't. She got so she Just stayed In her room lots and lota. I tried to make her put on her pretty clothes, and do as the other ladles did. and go out and walk and sit on the big piazzas, and dance, and eat at tbe pretty little tables. She did. some, when we first came, and took me. and I Just loved It. They were such beautiful ladles, with their bright eyes, and their red cheeks and Jolly ways; and their dresses were so perfectly lovely, all silks and satins and sparkly spangles, and diamonds and rubies and emer alds, and silk stockings, and little bits of gold and silver slippers. And once I saw two of them smok ing. They had the cutest little ciga rettes (Mother said they were) In gold holders, and I knew then that I was seeing life— real life ; not the stupid kind yoo get back In a country town like Andersonville. And I said so to Mother; and I was going to ask her If Boston was like that. But I didn't get the chance. She Jumped up so quick I thought something had hurl her. and cried, “ Good Heavens, B ab y!" (H ow I hate to be called "B a b y "!) Then she Just threw some money on to the table to pay the bill and hurried me away. It was after that that she began to stay In her room so much, anil not take me anywhere except for walks at the other end of the town wbera It was nil quiet and stupid, and no music or lights or anything. And though I teased and teased to go back to the pretty. Jolly places, she wouldn't ever take me; not once. Then by and by. one day we met a little black-haired woman with white cheeks and very big sad eyes. There weren’t any spangly dresses and gold slippers about her, I ran tell you! She was crying on a bench In the park, and Mother told me to stay back and watch the swans while she went tip and spoke to her. (W hy do old folks always make us watch swans or read books or look Into store windows or run and play all the time? Don't they suppose we understand perfectly well whnt It means— that they're going to say something they don't want us to hear?) Well, Mother and the lady on the bench talked and talked ever so long, and tnen Mother calletl me up, and the lady cried a little over me. and said. “ Now. perhaps. If I’d hs-' n little girl like that— I" Then ...e stopped and cried some more. W e saw this lady real often after thst. She was nice and pretty and sweet, and I liked her; but she was always awfully sad. and I don't believe It was half so good for Mother to bo with her as It would have been for her to be with those Jolly, laughing ladles that were always having such good times. But I couldn't make Mother see It that way at all. There are times when It seems as If mother Just couldn't see things the way I do. Hon estly. It seems sometimes almost as If she was the cross-current and contra diction Instead of me. It does. Well, as I said before. I didn't like It very well out there, and I don't be lieve Mother did. either. But It's all over now. anil we're back home pack ing up to go to Boston. the way. Just the same, I notice," spoke up somebody with a chuckle. “ Divorce Is a coward's retreat from the battle of life." Captain Harris said this. He spoke slow and decided. Cap tain Harris Is old and rich, and not married. He's the hotel's star boarder, and what he says. goes, 'most always. But It didn't this time. 1 can remem ber Just how old Mr. Carltou suapped out the next. “ Speak from your own experience. Tom Harris, an' I'm Blinkin' you ain't fit ter Judge. I tell you divorce ts what three fourths o f the husbands an' wives In the world wish was waitin' for 'em at home this very night. But It ain't there." I knew, o f course, he was thinking o f hit wife. She's some cross, I guess, and has two warts on her nose. There was more, quite a lot more, said. But I ’ye forgotten the rest. Be sides. they weren't talking to me then, anyway. So I picked up my thread and slipped out o f the store, glad to escape. But, as I said before, I didn’t find many like them. O f course I know now—what divorce Is, I mean. And It's all settled. They granted us some kind of a decree or degree, and we're going to Boston next Monday. It's been awful, though— this last year. First we had to go to that hor rid place out west, and stay ages and ages. And I hated It. Mother did. too. I know she did. I went to school, ami “ Do aid folks honestly think there were quite a lot of girls my age. they are fooling us all ths time, and some boys; but I didn't rare much I wonder?” for them. I couldn't even have the fun of surprising them with the divorce we were going to have. I found they were (T O B E C O N T IN U E D .) going to have one. too— every last one o f them.
