THE OMAITA DAILY BEE: SATURDAY, OCTOBEK 22, 1904
Confession of
A Short Story by
Wnen my attention wss Unit called to the
article published In the Independent some
week! ago by a "Bachelor Maid'" I be-
cam very much Interested and felt at the
time that I should like to answer this
woman, who, I felt certain, was a splendid
representative of so many college bred
women of today. I restrained my impulses,
however, knowing well how many petition
to enter Into these controversies are tn.
fllcted upon poor editors. A few weeks
later came the dissertation by the "Philo
sophical Bachelor." After reading and re
reading these articles, It occurred to me
that har nrt tmn nnnnh. wham tdaas
upon certain Important social questions
were similar to those held by my husband
and myself when we started life together
almost twelve years ago. Wow, what had
become of thsse IdeaaT
' The man who la now my husband had at
that time Juat graduated from Yale, and
waa planning to continue his studies for the
Bext few years In Europe. I was barely 2u
and had not quit finished my college court
In a neighboring New England college. My
plan waa to drop my regular academic
work, go to Boston for a year, then to Eu
rope and devote my attention mostly to the
study of muaio, a my professors had de
clared 1 had a voice and somewhat excep
tional musloat and dramatlo talent, and, 1
riiight add, 1 had had almost continuous
Instruction In muslo along with my regular
school work sine I was years of age.
. In the meantime the man who later be
came my husband and I did the very pre
sumptuous thing that sq many young
American peopU are apt to do. We be
came engaged without first consulting our
parents. In th following summer, when
each of us went hqnie. and our parents
were humbly consulted, his did not object,
but mine did. My father, who, from my
genera reooH, from th winning -of vari
ous prises, ., had gut the impression that
I was exceptional, had been nursing ambi
tious Ideas that I was to have a future and
a career. If, Insisted that thla engagement
would be tho deathblow to all my ambition,
and, furthermore, both my parents declared
I should not go to Europe to study the fol
lowing year If th man to whom I was en
gaged should be there; for, let me add, ws
had planned to b very close together. '
. For a few days there waa despair, but
one fine evening while dlsouislng the mat
ter together light seemed to dawn upon
th young man at my side.
"Th only rational, thing to do," said he,
"la to marry, go to Europe together and
you oontinu with your work and I with
mine, just aa though nothing had hap
pened." The fear of facing my stern father over
whelmed m at flrst, but I took courage.
Th next afternoon I went out for a few
hour, and my friend approached my
father, armed With all th logla and ora
tory he had been able to command In the
meantime. He Insisted he would In no wny
Interfere with, my work or sucoess, cither
now or later; he meant to establish a place
for himself, he said, but he would inflict
no burdens upon me; besldos, h could be
a protoctor In case of Illness, etc. It was
later agreed that I should be wholly Inde
pendent, vn to th point of defraying my
own expense, (This was one of my special
weaknesses at thla time, J dreaded th Idea
of being supported.) ,
In th meantime th parents of my friend
had become, vry fond Of me, but sorely
regretted that I was not slightly domestlo
In my tastes, for I loved dancing, riding,
skating, walking etc., and detested sew
ing, cooking and household cares of any
kind, and openly declared I thould never be
a housekeeper, although I had been ln
atruotet'ln these matters; while my friend
loos'., bravely announoed he could employ
a housekeeper at any time, and that this
waa not what he was looking fpr In a Wife.
Bin wek later we were married.
In another month rny husband waa at one
of tho great German universities, which he
had selected on account of several profes
sor under whom he wished to work In hla
pedal line, while I entered on of the lead
ing conservatories, which waa in a neigh
boring city and a flv hours' rid away.
The first year passed smoothly and
quickly enough, aa each waa busy and
everything waa new. We saw each other
during the Inter-semester vacations, and
were constantly looking forward to the
long vacation, when we took a little trip to
gether, then settled down In pleasant rooms
to our nrst taste of real domestic life.
There wore some pleasant friends, little j
suppers, some music and a great deal of .
time spent in the beautiful hills and woods,
reading and talking together. For example,
my husband taught me to read French dur
ing this summer by reading French books.

looking over hie shoulder.
Alaa, the end of our little honeymoon
came all tK quickly, and when It came time
tor my return t found the old desire to go
back to my music was riot quite so strong,
and "the man" wla constantly wishing he
bad his degree, aod that the coming year
were over so we might go together to Paris.
The flrst daya of my return wer torture.
I could not tell why; for every one was
glad to lie me back, my profeeeora spoke
most hopefully and promisingly for the
I eomir.g year a work, and my oia uerroan
I fu received me with open arms. There
cam a whisper, however, "What la all this
compared with life alongside of this eplen
did man?" - - ,
Th flret letter from "the man" wer
dark enough, but each of us soon fell Into
line again, and worked harder than ever.
During tne first semester I managed to
become a little 111, so the director recom
mended a few days' change with my
friends, but the change did not fTect a
much mora satisfied state of mind on mv
rturn. I found "th man" restless, work
ing by fits snd starts, sometimes not for
days, snd again almost all night long, and
while he made no direct complaints. It
seemed to me his attitude toward things
was changed and hla earlier hopefulness
was tinged with gloom. I thought I xom
forted hlro by promising to be back for a
long, vacation at Christmas, which waa
only six weeks off, but In spite of whet
seemed most rational philosophising with
myself, I began to feci something was Just
a little wrong.
Th Christmas time cam, and after a fle
llghtful ten days In one of the great Ger
man cities we returned again to "th
man's" cosy quarters for a few days.
When th day for my departure arrived I
was not ready to go, and ."the man" was
not ready to have me go. It was a gloomy
day, and "the man's" state of mind seemed
well to match the day, I mad a bald front
at being cheery, but as we approached the
station "the man" suddenly lost his voice,
and no amount of chattering I could do
could make him And It. He helped me care
fully into a coach, and then stood as if
petrified. I called to him as ths train
pulled out, hut he made no response. I
saw him put his hands to his face, and
shake as If he bad had a chtll-I knew this
great, strong man, oblivious to all his sur
roundings, was weeping.
I went back feeling like a criminal, and
that last glimpse of "the man" stoyd with
mo a long time. '
I found on my return I had received sev
eral flattering promotions; my professors
began to take greater interest In my work,
ani spoke very encouragingly af my pos
sibilities, etc., and a few weeka later I was
selected on of four of the best singers
in the conservatory to appear as soloist In
a great musical festival they were prepar
ing to celebrat upon th oocaslon of a
visit In the early spring of on of th great
ruling princes.
My work seemed heavier tnan ever now
and "th man" seemed to And new energy

and northern Italy, and arrived In Paris
about September 1, ready to settle down
to work.
We had letters to some very amiable
people, who helped us gat established in
real Bohemian fashion, and In a month
we were aa settled and regular at our
work aa if we had been living -there al
ways. "Th man" was at work In th
universities, and I with two different
teachers, one of whom was among th beet
known of Europe. Wo wer also fortunate j

It la needless to say that with a small
circle of very attractive acquaintances,
plenty of interesting work and the diver
sions of Paris, th winter passed al) too
quickly.
In May "the man" received an offer of a
position in one of the universities of th
extreme west. It was a good opening for
. young and Inexperienced man. but th
authorities insisted upon meeting him be- i
.ore an appointment wae nnauy maae. i i
had agreed to stay with my teachers until
July, so I could not leave. There wer
other American friends who had Joined B
In the meantime, so I was not left alone.
I arrived In New York late In July, and,
as my friends had been active In stfC"r.nr
engagements for me, I sang in various
parts of the eastern states during the i
summer and early 1 fall. I became very
much exhilarated w'th public life. The
press had evsrywhnr been favorable; In
fact, the lint of laudatory ad1ctlvn timl I
bees exhausted In my praise. My friends,
of course, had been largely responsible.
I arranged with two other artlets of some
reputation and Influence In the late fall,
then started with "the man" to stay with
htm a month In his new abiding place.
" All thla seemed simple enough.
Ths university to which we went was
located In a small town. We soon found a
comfortable suite of rooms, but wandered"!
f'o-n one boarding house to another, only I as ths experience of every thoughtful

taste for it. Th Idea of being away most ' eurred to 'me that the rearing of ohlldrei.
of the time and leaving my husband alone would permanently Interfere with my work,
to the mercies of th bonrCIng house did ' Had not the greatest women In literature,
not strike our new acquaintances favor
ably, we soon saw, and I must say It
appallod me. .
Th time soon csme for m to go and al
though I waa glad to get back to ths ex
citement of publlo life, the old gllmps of
th man I had left once before at .the Uttl
Oermaq station recurred to me and I felt
a twinge of compunction. I found my art
ist tried, who was a thorough "man of ths
world," had arranged everything very skil
fully. I son learned that a more Important
thing than singing well was to cajole th
newspaper people in every possible way.
I found our artist friend was writing or
dictating our press notices and waa not
above bribing our critics when necessary.
I had heard of this sort of thing before,
but th actual axperlence was more or less
nauseating, and when I protested, I waa
informed that these method wer abso
lutely necessary for success. For example,
my friend explained th success of a wo
man whom I had admired vry much, Who
had returned from Europe Just a few years
earlier and had had an almost general
triumph throughout the country, was due
to her husband, who made It his chief in
terest to look sfter th pre In this way,
Ths bottom seemed suddenly to havs fallen
out of my ambition.
I went back to "the man." to Hnd Tilm
more sobered than ever, envying hi friend,
who bad a simple wife and lovely children,
and I soon discovered that his existence
had been dreary enough and that he eould
not be happy without me, In spite of his

With the exception of a few short trips

was willing to cajole that cook more than
any press man I had ever met; la fact, I
know no mistress had ever got as muoh
work out of her. The truth Is, after all
these years of boarding and rooms, we
found untold happiness a sort of Intoxi

got tired of trying to make good and pretty

"The man" became himself again, and we
raroly spoke of th future more than that
we each wanted above everything else t
establish a home of our own.
Our parents were consulted, for we hud
not troubled to save- much of our own
earnings, and they seemed glad to furnish
the wherewithal.
We selected a beautiful site on a Muff
Just out of the town, and by the following
November , we were established, with a
bright little maid and keeping house like
real old fashioned married folk. ,
I did not give up my conce-t work en
tirely, but the trips became less frequent
Snd my efforts to secure engagements were
very much lees active.
There was now a new problem. We both
loved children and I had always felt this
was one duty I should not shirk. Of course
there was that awful shrinking, which our
"Bachelor Maid" has truthfully described
art and history been married and mothers,
and why should not IT
In thirteen months there came a little
daughter, of course the prettiest I hsd ever
seen. My one overwhelming destr was to
purs this delicate little creature and make
her thrive; but as soon as my excellent
purs had left me ah began to grow puny
and I felt my absolute Ignorance and help
lessness to give her Intelligent care. J
went over all the long rears of teaching
snd instruction I had hsd and eould recall
pot on ' Idea I had received which could
give in light, In my despair, ia th child
grew mora feeble, t could not help feeling

education. In the meantime my nurse sent

raised my flret baby, as my brother has al
ways Insisted, "on schedule time."
After three month of th regulsr hahtta

better than when I had Ignnrantly worked
with her th greater part of each day.

manager of a big manufacturing establlsh-

"They are deaf at home, and wonderfully
acute of hearing In the workroom. In a
quiet place, where th ordinary tone of
vole s distinct and sharply defined above
all other sounds, they have to be almost
yelled at by others conversing with them,
and yet In the din of a mill they can carry
on a conversation where th average per
son could not hear a shout. Often a visitor
comes here to see a friend at work, and
while ths visitor half the tims Is unable to
hear his own remarks above the racket the
worker catches the words without difficulty.
Yet If the two were in a room sway from
the mill it would be th mill employes who
would have trouble going ahead with the
conversation, unless loud speech was re
sorted to. Aay from the clatter of ma
chinery to which his ears have . been ac
customed for years, the mill hand la more
op less deaf, but In ths midst of the rum
ble his sens of hearing is very keen. It's
odd, hut it's a fact." Philadelphia Record.
BRACE SKYSCRAPERS FOR WIND
Tall Qnlldlnas Constructed on Selen

stand Any Blast,
Probably no person unaccustomed to such
an experience ever stood on the roof of a
twenty-story building, when a great wind
was blowing, without a tremor of ths nerves
and at least an Imaginary sense of swaying
In ths huge structure beneath his feet,
There Is such a swaying, and it has been
measured with great exactness. But it
turns out to be far less than Is Imagined.
Careful observations to determine the
amount of oscillation of tall buildings In a
high wipd were made In this city a few
years ago, during a tempest In which tho
velocity o' the wind reached eighty miles
an hour. The Monadnook building, 20fl feel
In height and unprotected In its upper part
by neighboring, edifices, swayed only one-,
quarter to one-half an Inch from the per
pendicular, But It should not be inferred from this
that po special effort Is needed to secure
a lofty building from the effects of ths
wind. On the contrary, the slight degree
of isclllatlon mentioned above was due
to th fact that the engineer architect cal

had provided against them by means of a
system of "wlnd-braclng."
This is one of the niceties In the modern
art and sciences of building. Experiments
and mathematical calculations, of which
the general public can have little Idea,
have determined ths pressures exerted
against lofty structures by winds of various
velocities, snd also the best method of
enabling the buildings to withstand these
pressures. When a building 200 feet tall
sways only a quarter of an inch out of the
perpendicular in the face of a hurricane
pushing against It with a force of thirty
pounds on every square foot of surface that
fact Is a testimonial to the success of scsn
title "wlnd-braolng."

which their safety is based, but If that
mathematics were not the surest product
of the human mind they might And them

"What is wlnd-braclng, then?" it may be
asked,
It is a system of steel connections which,
In the body of a tail building, serve a pur
pose similar to that of the Interlacing
muscles and tendons which bind together
th bones of th human skeleton and enable
t to act together, as a unit, in resisting
forces tending to upset or crush it.
In a scientifically constructed building th
fores of the wind pushing against its upper
portion arouses a resistance which Is trans
mitted downward from story to story gnd
distributed on all sides from, member to
member of the steel skeleton until It Is felt
at the foundations and thus the strength
of the bulldlpg, lying in the shelter of the
surrounding edifices, out of tho reach of
the wind above, pre brought Into play for
the common defense, much as tho effects
of a man's shoulder are distributed through
