A little group of women on a Pine hurst piazza were speaking of theii various women friends each one outdo ing the other in enthusiastic praise of them. One who had been silent said the friendships of women were looked upon with disfavor by men. No man would be attracted to any woman who had formed too close an attachment to another woman ; that often it took the place and prevented that relation which rightly belongs to opposite sexes. It wears the semblance of love, but is not it. "This is the truth," she said, "and 1 have had an experience which cost me deal and is a warning; through it I lost at the same time my dearest friend and a husband. That is the reason I am here why I have no home and go from one hotel to another summer and winter and nave nothing better to do than to embroider bits of linen for which I have no use except to give away to happier women; that is why I try to divert myself with a novel, with listening to music, with society. Since I have said so much I will tell you the remainder of my tale. I am now so far away from it that I can look upon it as belonging to another, or as a story out of a book. For some years after my girlhood was past I had a woman friend with whom I spent a large part of my time and to whom 1 confided pretty much all that life has to confide. She was, in the phrase of the Irish lover, 'mjr share of the world.' She fully reciprocated my feeling. There were moments, however, when deep in my heart I realized that this' relation could lead to nothing beyond, that in some sense it was for us both a waste and perversion of the richest treasures of a woman's soul. We were each good looking and still young enough to be attractive to men, and each of us had a small fortune in her own right. Yet I thought little of marriage beyond a notion that it could not make me much happier than 1 was, so well content was I with my friend. It happened that in the very same week we both received an offer of marriage from men with whom we had long had a social intimacy. For the first time in the course of our friend ship I did not reveal to her this offer of marriage as 1 was accustomed to do all my interests and affairs. She also kepi her secret. Her state of mind, as I found out sometime after, was the same as my own; neither dared to tell for fear of wounding the feeling of the other. Well to bring my story to a brief ending, I efused the offer of marriage, chiefly because I could not bear to give up my friend and I thought it would break her heart to lose me. But she accepted her offer; she was married and so happily that I have lost her out of my life. She said it need not be they always say this. But 1 knew better. I knew there could not be two interests, two lovers in one house. This is why I am now alone in the world, flitting from hotel to hotel and spend my time in this lady-like but futile embroidery business. Don't you think this is a pretty stitch?" The First Arbutus.
