TTze Testing of Julia Grant

Mrs. Grant Takes Matters Into Her Own Hands
READ THIS FIRST
Julia, Grant's lover, Dan Carsou,
tells her, thrco weeks before their
marriage, that he loves nuothcr wo
man, and Julia Instantly releases htm
from their cnjraKemeut and enters n
hospital for training. Then Dan Cnr
son comes back to her, nud partly
through a sense of duty and partly
through what she mistakes for love,
she promises a second time to marry
him. In the hospital, Dr. John' Nor
ville comes into her life and un
wittingly Julia gives her heart to him.
When she discovers this she runs
away from tho hospital, having de
cided to give up her work and to
marry Dau Carson immediately,
NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY
MRS. GRANT was so overjoyed that
Julia had nt last come to her senses,
as she put it, that she planned n reg
ular orgy of spending and getting
ready for the wedding. Kvcn before
Julia had seen Dan and had told him
her decision, Mrs. Grant had every
thing planned. The one flaw in her
enjoyment of the situation was Julia's
apathetic attitude.
The morning after Julia arrived home
from the hospital, bag and baggage,
Mrs. Grant besieged her daughter with
all kinds of plans.
"The wedding ought to be soon," she
said, sipping her coffee between her
enthusiastic remarks. "There is' no
reason any longer for putting it off.
When did you happen to decide all this
Julia? You made me very unhappy
with your Ideas about finishing at the
hospital. Of course, I'm not saying
that It wasn't a good plan for you to
go there after Dan behaved as he did :
it would have looked bad if you had
stayed home and moped."
"O, mother," protested Imcy, "don't
talk that way."
Mrs. Grant looked up in surprise.
"What difference can It make now,
everything is over? Julia had a bad
experience and came through all right.
Many girls go through the experience
and their men don't have the good
sense to realize their mistakes as Dan
did."
"I know, but Julia doesn't like to
talk about it. I know I shouldn't."
Julia threw a smile at her sister and
went on with her breakfast.
"You'll tell Dan tonight, won t
you?" Asked Mrs. Grant anxiously.
"I'll tell him that I'm through at
the hospital."
"That'fl what I mean. Of course he
will insist upon an early wedding. I

happy."
"I suppose not." Julia said thought
fully. "I'm. afraid I haven't thought
of his happiness as much as I should."

Grant interposed, getting mf'from the

morning Julia aud sec about a few
things you will need. Your father will
be. willing to stand n little expense now
that this worry's over."
Julia remembered that look in her
father's eyes the nlsht she hint tnlrt
him her decision, and wondered. She
had felt that her father understood,
that he was seeing things through her
eyes, and that none of the rest of the
family could see beyond their own
feelings.
"I don't really need abother thing."
Julia protested.
"You haven't n nice negligee. Don't
you remember io said wo could econ
omize and not get one? But Dan will
want to see you in pretty frills, a
woman always charms her husband In
pretty lingerie."
Julia felt her cheeks burn. Her
mother spoke so intimately of such
things. Aud strange to say, Julia's
only feeling wis one of embarass-ment.
Sho simply could not visualize herself
In charming negligee trying to appeal
to Dan. He seemed n stranger to her
and yet she had, to go through with it.
She forced herelf to go downtown
with her mother, and to try and appear

ments. Her mother vented to spend
a great deal on the negligee, but .tulin
would not consent to any extinvnganee.
Sho finally decided on nn ivory colored
robe lined with gold. It was a lovely
thing aud brought out the tints of her
hair, but it was simple and not too
expensive. Tho saleswoman raved as
Julia slipped It on over her dress. Hut
Julia's eyes were heavy as she viewed
herself in the long mirror. These were
things that a girl could bo happy about
only when Rhe wns marrying the man
she loved morn than anything in the
world. How could she slip on the
lovely silken thing for Dan Carson's
eyes to view when her whole heart was
somewhere, else? When sho would have
been hnppv in crisp blue aud white linen
working side by side with the man she
loved, and shivering with delight when
she met his eyes, narrowed and in
scrutable, and knew that behind them,
somewhere hidden from the rest of the
world, was something that was hers
alone,
"I don't know how other men want
women," she could hear the words
over and over ngniu. She hadn't been
