MARRIED woNESs FRIENDS.
As a counterpart Of lhese we find Class OF
men who are travelled, refined and inscriptions,

look upon him, an Adons III face and for, scru-
pulous in attire thoughtful and delicate in his
attentions. but with look IN his eve which can
upon his back, that he lis lying. She IS looking
into his face overwhelmingly; first attracted per-
haps by his attentive manner. He is practising
his thoughtful attentions upon her, and she hav-
ing outllved the romance OF kindly, delicate IA
vors from husband who has become careless,
is hattered by his appreciation. And so they
stroll off alone; and the evening stars look down
in sorrow upon the decei.tul tongue, which ls

a man tritles with married womans heart or
duties he triHes with her very he.
THE ''FRIEND" APPRECIATES HER,
her husband does not, she will allow him to be
her ''friend"-fend be had better call himself,
for when he has destroyed her peace, and broken
up her home, he seldom troubles her again, but
she is left desolate and alone. We find these
MephistOpheles OF society everywhere; at the
summer resorts, III hotels, IN travelling, and they
find their way into the charmed circle Of. a con-
tented home, and revel III their power.
ANOTHER PHASE OF LIFE
we find almost as sad. The young girl Just out
OF school is fascinated by the attentions OF a
man, and nothing can persuade her he is not the
best and bravest OF lovers WHAT does she
know of the secret lives OF these gallan: gentle
men? She might read the legend OF excesses
written i'll the blelred eye and tremulous lip, but
she cannot understand 1T. She may hear Wills
per OF prodigallty and indulgence, but she stops
her ears, and loves her hero all the better, 'e-
cause he is the victim OF detractlon. She knows
nothing Of his previous history, nothing OF his
daily occupations, nothing OF Ills associates. She
little imagines that his soft compliments conceal
cruel temper, that the hand which presses
hers SO tendcrly is brutal hand, tit only for
deeds Of violence; that he is a gambler and a
drunkard, false, quarrelsome, Idle, selfish and
sensual. She might learn il she exercised as
much thought and caution as IN selecting new
bonnet. But
