Intontness relaxed once more.
Twelve pairs of eyes expressed at
least half as many sentiments.
Mrs. Vane gazed at Mary Ogden,
whose insolcnce she had never for-
gotten. with indignant hostility;
Mrs. Poole. who always dressed as
if she had a tumor. but whose rem-
nant of a once lovely complexion
indicated perfect health. maintained
her slight tolerant smile: its effect
somewhat abridged by the fact that
the small turban of bright blue
feathers topping her large face had
slipped to one side. Mrs. Goodrich
looked startled and gazed depre-
catingly at herfifriende. Mrs. Law

her complete indifference to rein-

her a feeling of superior contempt

had swarmed to Vienna like greedy

soon to reply with assurance. The
method was only discovered some
six years ago. But the eminent
biologists who have given pro-
found study to the subject esti-
mate that it will last for ten years
at least, when it can be renewed
once at all events. Of course the
end must come. It was not intend-
ed that man should live for ever.
And who Would wish it?"
"Not 1. certainly." said Mrs. Ruy.
ler senteutiousiy. “Well, I must
admit it has been a complete suc-
cess in your case. That is not say-
ing I approve of what you have
done. You know how we have al-
ways regarded such things. if you
had lived your life in New York
instead of in Europeunotoriously
loose in such matters—I feel con-
vinced that you would never have
done such a thing-exhausted or
not. Moreover, I am a religious
woman and I do not believe in in-
terfering with the will of the Al-
mighty." ‘
“Then why have a doctor when
you are ill? Are not illnesses the
act of God? They certainly are
processes of nature."
“I have always believed in let-
ting nature take her course," said
Mrs. Ruyler flrmly. “But of course
when one is ill. that is another
matter"—‘
"Is it?” Madam Zattiany's eye
showed a militant/spark. “Or is it
merely that you are so accustomed
to the convention of calling in a
doctor that you have never wasted
thought on the subject? But is not
medicine a science? When you are
ill you invoke the aid of science in
the old way precisely as 1 did in
the new one.“
