''MY DEAR BOY"
A Few Extracts From Bab's Letter. -.0f In
terest to Both Sexes.

"OllCns NY NOulNl LdNt UIGN Out lOu4
ago, Do you see what l am trying to
get out? The woman who is the house
wife is the closest thing to the mother,
and from the time men are born until
they die they adore being mothered.
They are never too old to be patted on
the head by soft white hand; they are
never too Odd to be called AMy dear
boy" and they are never 100 old to be
addressed as children" They like it.
They like it immensely. They forget
they are 6 feet 2; they forget their
strength; they only remember that they
are fond of the woman who has mother
ed them, and they will give great sigh
way, she draws him up closely to her,
lays her soft cheek against his rough
one, and says in Multiplying, half
patronizing, but altogether loving tone,
''poor boyw Now, the poor boy may
have the affairs of the nation! on fhis
mind. Financially he may be king,
| but
FOR THE TINE BEING HE IS A BABY,
and he likes it. And the bigger he is
the better he likes it lent explain it;
don't pretend to- only know it is so,
and | wish more women would realize
the power of their littleness.
No man ever loved a woman who
didn't find i'll her that bit Of motherli-
ness that made her nearer and dearer
than anything else. He couldn't make
her understand to save her soul, per
haps, about his money troubles, but she
understands how to put her arms under
him, and let him 60 to sleep on her
shoulder when he believed sleep was inn
possible. She couldn't explain it; she
only knows she can do it. And the peo-
! pie who wonder how a clever man like
him could care for a fool of a woman
like her, simply don't know what they
are talking about. In this queer world
OF ours it is impossible to say why pee
| pie care for each other The cleyerest
man I ever met in my life adored his
wi e because she didn't know anything
he said he was sick and tired of wisdom.
You see, he wanted a woman; he didn't
want walking dictionary. | can fully
sympathize with the good people who
marry sinners--saints are SO uucOmforta-
BILE to live with. And it IS a curious
thing that in all religions the prophets
and all the good people seem to have
| leaning towards sinners, too. Not muir
derers, or thieves, or dreadful people,
Just people who had little amiable faults
that tended to make them forgiylng.
THE RED AND BLACK GENTLEMAN.
| love sinner-we've so much in com
mon. A saint is very nice in picture
| but outside eff that-well, il would be 50
difficult to live up to an aureole. l am
sure if you were one it would topple a
little to one side. and l know l would
/ have to put mine on with a bonnet pin
to keep it in place. Do you think you
are likely to get one? Well, you may, if
Won learn how to serve dinner properly.
l think they will be worn by good cooks
and good housekeepers, because the
good cooks and the good housekeepers
will keep many men from going straight
to the well, you know who mean; the
red aud black gentleman. We don't
want our men to 90 there. After we
| have taken the trouble to ciyilize them
we want them to be with us. Where
will we be? Well, We won't be where
the red and black gentleman is That's
the reason they call his home hell.
There ale no women there Paradise
would be he'll without women; at least
! that's what all the women would think,
and agreeing with them is your future
| happiness.
