? CopvrH*t by American Pr*? A?*
? elation, ini.
I*ft an orphan when I was a vers
little girl, I, wa* brought up by a
maiden aunt, a woman of considerable
brain and will power. 1 had hardly
boon settled In her boose before 8 he
laid oat a coarse for me to pursue.
"I shall pi re you a good education,"
she said, "and en education is a foun
dation on which a woman mar build a
career as well aa a man. I'm not going
to educate yon that yon may occupy a
subordinate position in some tD.no> of
fice; not going to tnake a stenographer
of yon to take down some man's dicta
Hon? no men ever dictated to me I
shall give you a profession. Tut when
you hare been graduated I shall expect
you to practice. It is not my tntentlon
to spend money on you to be thrown
away. 1 don't propose that after giv
ing yon a profession some man shall
come along, talk a lot of nonsense to j
you and render all I hare spent on you J
abortive. If a woman Is going to be a
lawyer or a doctor she must begin by
putting all notions of love and mar
rlape out of her head."
Considering that my aunt made this
announcement to me when I was but
twelve years old. it Is not to be ex
pected that It made any other impres
sion on me than that I was to follow
the path she laid down for me. It evi
dently did not occur to her that I was
rather young to agree when grown to
place myself fn opposition to nature's
law*. Nevertheless, she accepted my
promise that I won id repay her kind
ness in educating me by making my
self the old maid she was herself and
spend my life listening to people tell
shoot their aches and pains Instead
of hearing the prattle of my own chil
dren.
Nevertheless, my annt was a good
woman despite her crankiness. She
t<vifc admirable care of me, and when
I became old enough to choose a pro '
fesslon I selected medicine. My aunt
^led shortly after I bad received my ,
Olploma and left me a lepacy sufficient
to give me a start In my profession
The last thing she said to me was: j
? Remember your promise. Tou will be
sorely tempted because yon are very
good looking. Men will try to draw von
away from the path of duty, but you
mti?t not listen to them. What tbey
will want of you Is to make yon a
slave. He constantly on your guard."
As to the temptation, mv aunt was
right.
My being thrown Into a field of la
bor where I met many men. some or
whom were intelligent and attractive,
was probably the cause of my receiv
ing a number of proposals. Rut I set
myself resolutely to carry out my
aunt's Intentions regarding me. feel
ing bound In honor to do so. I re
fused all my suitors, devoting myself
exclusively to my practice. 1 found
!t impossible to keep the f*ct ttit I
'tis pled red to celibacy from being
known. and I believe that for this
reason I was especially sought in mar
riape. Nothing Is so desirable as that
which Is Impossible to obtain
I practiced two years and resisted all !
temptations to marry. One day an I
old lady came to see me and hegped
that I would make a diagnosis of a
trouble that was afflicting her son.
She said she believed there was some
thing on her son's mind that he would
not confide to his medical attendant
A man. she saM. would be more likely
to give his confidence In certain mat
ters to a woman than one of his own
sex. The invalid had been a trifle r
In fcn* affairs, and she was Dot sure
but that he had been cstirM In his
own trap. If she ccold be sure of this
she might rossINy find a remedy.
There was something winning la the
old lady's solicitude lest her boy might
be getting his just deserts. I was
amti*ed at the absurdity of a man
having to call In a woman physician
to cure him of a possible k?v* malady.
I did not attend men patients as a j
rule, partly because I had cured one
man and be had given me his heart in
addition to my fee. But since this
dear old lady's invalid son was sus- i
pected to be already In love, even to
the breaking down of his health. I
saw no reason why I should not oblige
her. So I promised to at least make
one visit.
I found * fine lookln* youn* fellow

sympathy for him that he was suffer

him frankly:
"Ton are not til: yon thin* you are."

and fascinating to this great balk of
a man clinging to me to save blm from j
himself. Nevertheless. ! knew of no
antedote for lore and bad no mind to
waste my time dancing attendance on
a man whose ?.nly ailment waa bi?
devotion to some girl wbo didnt bap

to confess to myself that there was
something as attractive as lodlcrons
In It The fond mother, wbo bad
probably been listening, at this point
came In and aald:
"Of cour?e the doctor will come

As I went out the patient followed

loved, together He w,>uld likely trans

cure. She promised to think about It ;
bnt seemed t? consider It rather an !
Impracticable expedient.
A week later she called at my offlce,
evidently very ranch troubled Hbe
Mid her son was no letter; indeed.
If there had been any change alnce
my visit it was for the worse

And what did the poor old mother
