WHEN WOMEN LOVE TOO MUCE
They Become Nuisances to Their At
fianced.
From, the London World.

From the London World.
When a woman loves severely she begins
to be unlovable. For she begins to be I'M
to do her best TO make miserable the all
too unfortunate winner OF her affections
She insists upon accusing him of virtues
which he knows Is not included in bis
character, and taxing him with fsilings of
which he is just as completely innocent,
and with that intolerable iteration which is
supposed by women to be some sort OF
argument.
The result Is that the man begins in time
to believe that he is good where he ia not
and to turn bad simply because she says be
Is so already. He may be as chaste as
mullet-'for chaste love the mullet hath no
peer"-but she will worry him by the assid-
uity OF her suspicious and her consequent
lamentations out OF the secure highway of
connubial affection into the hazardous by
paths that lead past other mems orchards to
the Tom Ttddler's ground OF the divorce
court.
Simply because she loves him so-and she
pleads no other excuse, when on occasion
he attempts a reasonable discussion Of their
Misunderstanding will make his bad
seem good TO him and make his good be-
come bad, till the seven takes possession Of
him. and, like one OF the beieviled swine of
Gadara, be rushes violently down a steep
place into the sea, She has no wicked in
tentions whatever. On the contrary, her
intentions are all detestahlv good And when
the man rakes the mind for some reason for
his own misdemeanors he can remember
nothing better than that she drove him TO
It," Which Is poor excuse; yet true
enough. SO gardeners by frequent little
pinchings abort the upright growth of trees
into lateral obliquities
Thore are very many mon 80 deplorably
human that to keep on accusing them OF an
otfense is sufficient to make them commit It.
They will in time live down to any moral
standard that may be fixed for them by
women, the women who love them, and,
like the oyster, alternately tickled and irri-
tated by the grains OF sand which the Chi
nese drop into them, will grow to forget
their natures altogether.
No woman can be quite so miserable as
sue VINO loves only one man at time, for
the time she loves him, and being unable
to absorb all her own unhsppiness, she per
sists in offering him half of it, Because she
10 90 insanely jealouo Of his time and his So
ciety shs will, "for the sweet love she had
OF him. waste the one and try TO engross
the other, until she torments him from In
nocence into artifce and from artifce into
revolt, and so in the sad end she can say
Il knew was right all the time"
Does the discovery break her hearth Not
bit of 1t. Women who love at this high
pressure do not break their hearts They
starT--after pause to repair damages and
to make collection, as 1t were, of neigh
borly sympatbies-lovinR again, somebody
else. Such women In the extremity of their
affection for him, will throw vitriol in a
mans face; will poison him with fly
opportunities him. So it is not good for
woman to love severely neither good for
him nor for her.
The sensible man, when he sees 1t coming,
will put up the hurricane shutters, back en-
gines, skid the wheels, throw salt in the
fire, do anything, in fact, that will meet
the emergency, sacken speed, or reduce tho
temperature. Unless he be a salamander.
As TO which, by the way, the ancients were
divided in opinion. some averring that he
eat the f1reup, the rest that he was so cold
he put the fire out Either of which pro-
cedures was sufficient to meet the circum-
stances.
