stantly setting her lips in tirmness as
she speaks to them, they have a set look
that suggests nothing but peevishness.
She finds fault with her husbands
friends, with him, and wonders con-
tinually why she ever married. Itgives
her certain amount of pleasure to hear
of other peoples troubles, because then
she is sure that she is not alone in the
world. She grows untidy in her dress
and sets it down to economy. Where
little bonnet would soften and make
pleasant her face, she puts on hard
looking hat, that gives her severe
loos, and, If possible, makes her uglier
than ever.
MAKING A WRONG MARRIAGE.
Her children neither admire, love nor
respect her. With their little troubles
and their little pleasures they go to their
father, and he has not realized as yet
exactly why his wife is different from
other women. 1t is not likely that he
ever will; in fact / do not think any
body will, for this is one of the cases
where there would seem to exist piece
of Plymouth Rock in place of a heart.
Don't you know this woman? How
very much better off is that wise one
who didn't marry, when such woman
and such state of affairs Is the result
OF making wrong marriage. Old age
finds her children but slightly ac-
euainted with this woman, and she her.
self is solitary, hard and disappointed
Life has brought her nothing, and moth
ing can come with death. Sometimes
she wonders what it means. She hears
the talk Of seeing again the people we
have cared for, and she is surprised to
/ find that she hasn't cared enough for
anybody TO really wish to see them
again. Even death seems to let her
alone, and as the years go by and one
| generation has succeeded another, age
| hasn't melowed her, but instead she has
| grown harder and harder, and death is
fearful of her.
That is an awful type of woman. l
think we ought to thank heaven that it
is not common one. There is another
that is an exact opposite. 1t is the
woman who has married man for
whom she had no great love, but who,
as the years have rolled on, has made
herself love him. Has loved him in his
children, and whatever sorrows her
early life has known have been made
stepping-stones to better, sweeteI
things, and
SHE BEAMS OUT LOVE TO EVERYBODY
That is good woman. That is .
woman who brings happiness. A woman
who makes everything seem smoother
and better in life. You go to her when
your heart is full, put your head in hel
lap, and cry out your trouble, no matter
what it was For there are so many diff
