John Ruskin did . strangely way.
ward thing when he consented TO get
married. He did most erratic and to
the public . most inexplicable thing
when ne arranged for his divorce.
he had accepted some Of the Hottest
traditions about womauhood that men
sometimes read of and talk about, and
ne looked for his ideal companion.
One night he met her in the drawing.

knowing it. had brought the young
'ady to inject the eyes of tho great
writer.
1t was juno night; he was thirty
nve and she looked like a Greek god
dess.
He was dazzled. She was q tall,
graceful girl Of nineteen, with face
and figure as faultless as one of the
statues Of old. No ono ever expected
kuskin to fall in love. and he did not.
She was poor. needed home and its
comforts. and 90 they were married.
Their welded life was peaceful.
friendly. kindly to the highest degree.
but there was not . spark of affection
TO Tighten their existence. She admired
the great man she had married. and
was grateful for the wealth and COM
fort he showered on her. He worshiped
her rs he would the marble made life.

There was nothing human about the
life they led rs husband and wife; and
she was a woman who in her heart.
like all true women. laughed At the
traditions that made her sex-love dis
tant worship.
One day Ruskin brought an artist ia
paint his wife's picture. And the man
was Millais; and he was q bright,
CHEEKY. handsome fellow. human every
inch of him, with great and absorb
ing love for the beautiful. and . will.
;ngness to tell of his love.
He began to paint the portrait of the
magnificent woman, and when he had
finished he was in love with his friend ,
wife.
Womanlike she saw it. and perhap.
she was not full of sorrow and reproach.
1t was the first tribute of real manfu
love that had been laid 1t her feet
And Ruskin? His wide eyes saw the
romance that was weaving around
those two lives, and his heart realized
how little affection he had to lavish on
the woman whom he had made his wife.
How he told her the story Of hi
pride in her and the sacrifice he was Il
mako for her. while she lay prone Al
his feet. is one of the things which only
he or she could tell.
Il is diflfcult to obtain . divorce il
England, but John Ruskin secured il
for her. and one bracing morning in
the early winter. . month after the
divorce was granted. Ruskin stood be-
side the couple in one of London's quie,
churches. and saw them made man and
wife.
That was . good many years ago
and since then Millais has become rich
and famops. and is now Sir John. and
his wife is my Lady Millais.
