into three phases. The first Is fear tnat
some one else win carry of the loveo
one by superior attractions or wicked
wIles; the second, suspicion that MS or
that her love has been transferred 10
another; the third, suspicion become
certainty. The first may originate IN
mere crabbedness Of temper. 1t maj
arise from q native blend OF envy, sus-
p~lciousness, unIrustfnlness, which rs
often inficts as suffers torture, D
therefore deserves small commissera-
ton. But it may have quite another
origin, and is then to be pitied, however
fretful it may be. Jealousy at large
Is a constant pain In the breast OF
many q girl whose worst faults are
that she is uncertain OF her pretlness,
knows herself in the common average
for grace Of movement and line OF
limb, finds herself, in spite OF every
resolve to the contrary, without the
gift OF a winning speech, and is OF
those land this is about the worst, per-
hapsl who are either destitute OF the
wherewithal to go fnely dressed or who
s'can't be made TO look we'll in any
thing" Yet with all these disadvant-
ages a young woman may oe fond; and
what is more, she may have Ionno =
really beautiful lover, or one who mas
in him the unnamed charm that re-"
women fail to discover and respond TO.
Then is her case a hard one.
Impossible to ssy-especlally II she
be of q CHEEKY, f~ree-spoKen
man - what jealous fears may
breed and wriggle like q knot OF Egyp-
tlan vIpers beneath the unoecoming
bodice Of her disappointing gown. Ana
what Is the cure for these j~ealousieS2
The only cure is years!-years alone;
which Is as much as to say the depart
ure Of youth and the approach OF age'
The second or tull-suspiclon stage OF
jealousy is, perhaps, the most agonizlng
of the three. 1t Is worse than suspicion
turned TO certainty; for though In that
case a storm arises, in which all the
fiercer passions join with grief to rend
the sufferer, vet after q little while love
and jealousy perish together In the vlo-
lence of the tempest. The peace that
ensues may be the peace Of desolatlon,
but it Is peace, and IL Is often
seen that new growths appear In DESC
lated places. The jealousy In which
suspicion is never quite confirmed; the
jealousy that fingers now on some black
proof and then beholdS IL tighten Into
doubt; the jealousy that Is one day
soothed with caresses which seem me
mere Punishment OF t%reachery tho next
that is the worst Of all. And yet
there IS reason to believe that 1t Is
sometimes wantonIy inflicted, for the
sake OF sport.
The only known palliative OF jeal-
ousy is not TO brood upon
suspicious. 1t is that which
gives to TRIES light as air the weight
of perfect confirmation, and thus any
little rootless cause OF doubt may be
nursed into a mighty pain. IL is pretty
we'll known that men brood more than
women, though that is less a fault than
q misfortune. a may speak OF
her iealousies aud no harm done. She
NAV even make charms OF her grlefs
which no man "a do From tho hour
that he becomes an accepted lover 1t
behooves him to lock his tongue upon
his iealousies, unless the outrage
bs open and palpa6le; and then
his expostulations must be made
in quiet and to an audience
strictly limited to the parties concerned.
Jealousy is the most natural OF pas
sions: it is known to be often blame
less and always a tormeht; but however
blameless IL may be, it is felt as some
thing shameful by him who endures it.,
and is usually accounted ridiculous by
the witnesses Of his suffering. The
Jealous man can neither satisfy himself
nor anybody else. II with cause) his
jealousy be great, he is laughably ride
ulous; If little and lightly borne, he Is
Ridiculous; and it Is no wonder to him
self in either case that he should be so.
Strange!-and yet the explanation may
be found in any good psychological dc
tioHary.
