It strikes as that some of our contem-
poraries have besn rather ungallAnt OF
late In their illusions to rdlsoontented
women" One would think from read.
ing their articlos that discomfort Is
ntirely a womsnly trait. Il is not by
any means Thers are quite Is many
discontented men In the world As there
are women. 1t is reasonable, however.
TO suppose that this unhappy state OF
mind shows out more prominently In tho
female than In the male sex Most
women are 50 situated that they can
make their homes unhappy from. morning
till night Men, on ths other hand. are
the luxury Of making their discomfort
known for considerable portion Of the
day.
We have little patience for discon
tented people for, though some are
undoubtedly more inclined mentally to
cherish this trait 1t is, we believe, in the
power OF all to cure e This, to a GER
tain extent, is proved from the fact that
discontsnted people are rarely the real
unfortunstes Of this life. A man or
woman In actual trouble has no time to
be dlscontented he or she is over
whelmsd with dispair, perhaps. but has
no time for the fretfulness Of dlscon
tent. Then again, the causes of this
malady. II such We can call It, are often
Of the most trivial nature which reason
able consideration would at once re-
move, but which constant irritation Of
leads to the misery Of the victim and all
who come In contrct with him or her.
It Is just as easy to look on the bright
side and be good natured as to be forever
worrying about matters Of little impor
tance. producing discomfort and making
trouble for yourself and others. Is It not
then TO be regretted that those who have
written on this subject are all Inclined tC
think that dlscon tent Is on the increase
Though 1t Is = vice which is believed tC

expected to last until eternity. So little
has been done TO ameliorAte It that thi.
opinion is given by people who have beer

opinion Of those like DR.. Depew, whS
