THE MORNING ASTOIUAN, ASTORIA, OREGON.
HER MAY
MORNING.
By CECILY ALLEN.
Copyrighted. 1908, by Associated
Literary Prs.
Tno world sntd Eleanor Carey would
never marry again. Her first matri
monial experience had not been strewn
with roses, though money for their
purchase had not been lacking. And
the events of her widowhood had been
enough to turn nny woman hard, cyn
ical and unromantlc.
Not that Eleanor Carey looked either
bard or imblttered as she presided
over Mrs, De Witt Smith's tea table
one balmy April afternoon. Robed In
oft, clinging topaa colored silk, with
neavy incrustations of lace the famed
Carey laces-she looked not a day older
than the daughter of the household
who was that day making her social
debut And. Indeed. In point of years
the fair debutante had little advantage
ever the fairer widow whose coming
out had been followed almost directly
by her marriage with Henry Carey, re
tired broker, multimillionaire and con
firmed bachelor.
Younger men had envied the fishy
eyed groom. Older women had envied
the radiant bride who rumor said had
acquiesced smilingly in her bold sale
In the matrimonial market
That she bad paid the price of fami
ly honor and her father's good name
with outward calm and inward revul
sion was something Dame Grundy nev
er guessed.
Her reward came sooner than she
bad dared to hope. Henry Carey died
within a year of their marriage, and
then came what rumor said was enough
to harden any woman. Ghosts of Ca
rey's ugly past trouped forth after the
reading of the will. His first cousin,
apparently well started on his elder rel
ative's downward path, first laid siege
to the widow's heart and, being re
pulsed, then started the contest which
had made Eleanor's face familiar to ev
ery newspaper reader in America and
arraigned the dead man in all the bald
ness of money drunk eccentricities.
That any woman could believe In
any man after going through what
Eleanor Carey had gone through was
past even the belief of her own some
what cynical social set
So far Eleanor's attorneys had held
ct against the siege for the millions
left entirely to her. So far Eleanor
Carey had never been Interviewed by

AGO," IT ItAN.
either public reporter or private friend.
She had simply resumed her place in
society after laying aside ber mourning
and let the legal and social tongues wag.
. So It happened that three men who
had come to pay their respects to Mrs.
De Witt Smith and her youngest
daughter lingered to play court to the i
presiding genius at the tea table.
One of these was Dr. Dalton, a man
who had won his spurs inthe world of

The second. Jimmy Dnruton, was a
newly made copper king from the north
west, whose family, well known lu tho
eastern social whirl, had sent him west
to I forgotten as the family ne'er-do-well
and were uow only too glad to re
member him and receive him with
open arms.
Neither of these men could be ac
cused of caring how Henry Carey's tor
turn was finally disposed of.
The third man was Donald Gregory,
born of a stern Scotch father and a
mercurial French mother in tho storm
Jeked New Englaud town whore
Eleanor Carey had lived In her girl
hood. In his father's eyes the young
chap had wasted what Bhould have,
been a useful youth.
Today tho stern old father unfortu
nately was not alive to witness the
artistic triumphs of his son, but the
mercurial little mother was waiting to
welcome him In the New England
town. He would have joined her days
before but for having met Eleanor
Carey the very day of hla arrival In
Kew York from Tarls.
And to each of these three men
Eleanor Carey bad given the same re
ply, as quietly and unemotionally as
she had laid the extra lump of sugar
on the saucer beside their cup of tea.
"I am going to Cralgmere the first of
the month. If It Is for the best, I trill
send for yon to come there."
All the world seemed a-movlng the
morning of May 1.' Worried middle
class housewives wrangled with Im
pertinent van and storage men, and
humbler families carried their belong
ings or shoved them from old homes
to new In a borrowed pushcart
Eleanor Carey's town house was as
serene as Jf the entire establishment
retinue of servants, canaries, Angora
kittens, mistress and all were not to be
removed that very afternoon to Cralg
mere. The mistress of the menage. In bil
lowy masses of lace, awaited her morn
lug mail and her coffee. When the
latter had been served the maid re
entered the room laden with letters and
parcels.
There were violets and lilies of the
valley from Dr. Dalton, a corsage bou
quet large enough to hide the front of
Mrs. Carey's traveling coat. From
Jimmy Daruton there were pink roses,
long stemmed, perfectly tinted, and
crystalline with dew showered by the
florist's rubber sprayer. There were
bulky envelopes from her lawyers and
doffodlls from a girlish admirer. There
were whines from Individual mendi
cants and carefully phrased appeals
from charity organizations.
And, last the maid, with a correctly
blank expression on her face, handed
her mistress a curious floral offering,
a basket made of soft willow twigs
Interwoven and lined with damp moss,
which overflowed with the most com
monplace flowers violets with only a
faint woodland odor, a few sprigs of
late arbutus, many, many faintly tinted
hepaticas and some dainty Quaker la
dies. Silently she sat fingering the
fragile blossoms while her deft fin
gered maid arranged the pink roses
and the hothouse violets. At last, with
a long drawn sigh, Eleanor Carey
opened the envelope tied to the May
basket by a blade of stout grass.
"My dear little sweetheart of long
ago," it ran. "do you suppose for one
Instant that I Intend to wait for yon
to bid me come to Cralgmere? I will
be there to bid you welcome not on
the stately terrace of your Italian villa,
but down In the woods where I gath
ered these. And, what Is more, I want
you to come to me with clean hands
and an empty purse. Send for your
lawyers. Tell them to take what they
want and give the rest to the hounds
who are fighting you. Turn your back
on it all the ghastly skeletons of the
past, the scandal, the publicity, the bit
terness of It all. You have never had
a happy day since your purse was lined
with his gold. Come, love; 'tis May
day, and the world Is still young for
you and me. Be the queen of my May
today and for every May day to come.
I am waiting."
For almost an hour Eleanor Carey
sat there, the spring blossoms fading
under her hot clasped hands. Her
breakfast turned cold. Hr maid slip
ped In and out of the room, silent and
apparently unobservlng. Then her
mistress turned to her suddenly,
"Adeline, call my lawyers; you know
the number, Broad. Tell Jenkins
we will take the 1:45 instead of tho

extreme lassitude, " don't care "and
want -to -be -left-alone" feeling,
8xcitability.irritability,nervousnes8,
dizziness, faintness. sleeplessness,
flatulency, melancholy or the "blues."

3:10 train fo Cralgmere. That Is all"
At 4 o'clock that afternoon Donald
Gregory waited on u moss-grown log
In the wood adjoining Cralgmere. All
around him bloomed the ,unfragrant,
exquisitely tinted wild flowers, while
dogwood petals fell In a snowy shower
on thick moss and modest blooms alike.
Ills Parisian friends would hardly
recognize him. Gone wiw the Van
dyck beard, gone the shabby cordu
roys, the flowing tie. In their stead
Gregory was clean shaven as In the
old days when he had made and filled
Eleanor's May basket year after year.
For the corduroys he wore a light gray
suit, a soft madras outmg shirt, a soft
gray silk tie. He looked the boyish
lover, not the successful artist.
And toward him. treading the path
way among the dogwood petals, camo
the lady of his heart, clad In n simple
frock of .blue and white wah stuff and
a low flat hat wreathed with flowers.
She held out her hands. He took them
and the smiling woman to his heart.
"Dear girl." he murmured In her ear.
"it is good to be young In May."
And the woman raised her eyes to
his, eyes from which had passed every
trace of bitterness and anxiety and dis
appointment, as she answered stead
fastly, "Yes, Donald; It Is good!"
Old Occupations. i
We are apt to forget perhaps bow j
many strange sounding occupations
have now become obsolete. One has
only to glance down Stow's list of old
city companies to wonder what In the
woriu are innoiuers, upholders, cur
riers, foystars, lorlmars, pattenmakers,
yet they were important enough In
Elizabeth's time, though they varied In
importance, inholders being allowed
iuo messes at the lord mayor's feast
and upholders only one mess. Hatband
makers had no business with the out
Tard insignia of mourning, but, In the
words of an old chronicler, "were In
corporated by King Charles I. In, the
year 1638, when rich lint bands were
much worn; but, that fashion having
been many years set iisiilc, the busi
ness Is now much reduced, there being
few of that profession." So It Is not
only women who are responsible for
that prime cause of unemployment
seasonal trades. London Chronicle.
Queen Amelie's Courage.
The late king of I'ortugul once said.
"If I were ever put to the test I should
prove that, though the king of a small
nation could not hope to defeat a pow
erful enemy, he could be brave and
loyal and' could die for the honor of
his flag." "And I should not let h
king go that way alone," immediately
added the queen, who Is now a bereav
d widow. "A woman's place Is not
m the battlefield," remarked a courtier.
"A woman's place and a queen's Is al
ways at her husband's side, through
