Love Makes "A.MOdel Wife. y

Editor of the COLUMBIA HERALD:
Love is the ruling element of life.
Without love there is no pleasure and
contentment in the magnificent pala-
ces, plain homes or the log cabins.
Love is a principle, ordained of God,
uncontrolled by mortal man, in the
bosom of every human. whatsoever

its pure and crystal pages.
The subject "a Model Wife" is no
mere holiday amusement, but deep
and interesting question. Now, we
take the position that love Is prin-

man. whether he be rich or poor.
No man has advantage in marriage,
as some vainly suppose over others
in the enjoyment or mstrlmony.
When ever love and confidence IL
shakened then comes quarrels, nights,
and bIoodshed, and too, among the
hioh circles of life. 1t is the princi-
ple that exist between the two that
brings all pleasures, happiness and
cOntentment. Some say they wish t ,
marry a rich girl while others say
they had rather marry poor girl.
