WHY WOMEN FALL IN LOVE

WHY WOMEN FALL N LOVE
Curious Franks Played Dy Cupid In Win
ntns In Matrim oniai Alliances.
A. little conversation overheard be-
tween two women suggested the subject
Of this short article.
why" asked one lady Of the other,
'did you marry your present husband?''
Because 1 loved him. came the
natural answer.
"Aui why did you love bim?3
The lady addressed hesitated a mo-
ment and then gave the eminently
wOmanly reply: "Bscause I did love
him"
And Ia many cases the responses %
the queries OF this lutte catecEiSm
would probably be found TO be the same.
III 10 is not a too impertinent Ques-
ton, might Inquire why you, who nave
become quite famous locally for your
beauty, married the defendant, whose
ill looks are nOtOrious?'- asked al ex-
aiming counsel OF COmely witness In
a certain Continental law suit.
"Well, you see it was ike this, was
the candid reply OF the fascinating

terribly jealous, and when / met my
husband. and saw he was so ugly that
no one else was likely to run after him,
fell 10 love straightsway."
Probably this example OF affection in-
spired by lack OF beauty may be re-
garded as unique, for in many cases the
mere observation OF the effect upon
other women OF a mans good looks aud
charm Of manner has been Instrumental
20 winning him one wOman's love; a.
belt the fact OF her regard for him be-
ing soinspired affords q very Uoor guar
antee for the tenacity OF such affection.
In court devoted 20 the unhappy
task Of dissolving ill-assOrtsd matrImo'
NAL unions, the following evidence by
the lady petitioner, atfordIng a case in
point was giVeu;-
My husband went out a great deal
into society, aud 10 was the very fact OF
noticIng what a favorite be was that
caused me to love him. 1t seemed a
very proud thing 90 me then, seeing his
popularity, 20 be able TO say he belonged
20 me-"
Humiliating as are such confessions,
wrung from unwilling victims on the
rack Of cross-examination, disclosures
involving the cOnhding OF yet dearer
personal secrets are sometimes more
cheerfully made.
mo, Tom amt no beauty; his glass
eye spells him" declared a lady moving
in the lower ranks OF life once TO the
writer. "But, then, IL h hadn't had
that we should never have been mar
RED
You see, some years ago I met with
an accident; and, though perhaps you'd
never have guessed 10 II I hadn't told
you, I've got a cork leg. Well, when
got my little biz OF compensation there
was plenty OF young fellows as heard
about the money and not the operation,
as would have married me there and
then, but it always used 70 trouble me,
thinking how they'd laugh &C me when
I told them all. And then 1 met Tom
ADD feeling sure as a man that had got
-sJdlass eye couldn't sheer much az q
woman with a cork leg, l felt drawn to-
ward him, and in the end we were
sprced."
Aud 20 the writer's knowledge the
unicn thus oddly brought about was 10
everY way satisfactory.
Strange as 10 may appear II is never
theIess an ascertained fact that, when a
man at first acquaintance inspires q
womsu with tfsiike and even hatred, it
is frequently preamble 20 her loving
him; a startling assertion, the accuracy
Of which is inStauced By the we'll known
case Of the foremost queen OF song,
whose aversion TO the gentleman 70
whom she Is now married was at one
time so strong that she insisted upon a
condition being put into her contracts
stipulating that This singer should never
be engaged In the same company as
herself.
Another interesting axiom, the truth
OF which will early make itself aDDar-
ent 10 the studeDtO Of human nature who
turns his attention 70 the present sub
ject, is that 10 very few cases do a
mans mere good looks prompt that sin

Fiage, a I'd while 10 cannot be denied
that uuib pos contracted on a purely mer-
camille basis are by no means infre-

though RciOl beauty will ever win ad-
miratiot il is the sterling heart alone
that urolBpts the trueSt love.
