The record-union., 1896-10-18

One thinks instinctively Of the above
classic lines when one sees a young
man desperately in love with some
young woman upon whom he lavishes
every tribute of his devotion admissi-
BILE by his purse strings, and often,
alas! he goes far beyond his income IN
his desire TO please.
1t really is q crying wrong, and the
girl who viii empty mans purse or
ats contents, thus leading him on TO
believe her as deeply in love as he,
and allowing him to look forward TO
the bitter end, to marriage, as the ultl-
matum of his hopes, merely for selhsh
qualification, is heartless, frivolous and
utterly rincipled-unWorthy, in fact,
TO be the recipient of an honest man S
love, which whether she reciprocates 1t
or no does honor to the woman who
receives 1t, and should be respected by
her as the best and greatest gift man
can lay at womans feet. For your
benefit and enlightenment, boys, you
who are inclined to be utterly blind
where your hearts are concerned, let
me tell you that when you are truly
and deeply beloved by the girl upon
whom you have set your affections she
will neither drain your purse to the
last drop in her selfish desire for
amusement, nor Will she allow you to
spend on her account any amount
which she has reason to believe exceeds
what your income can easily bear.
An instance has come under my no.
tice which is so hagrant that it has
aroused the indignation and contempt
of the few who can see to what 1t is
leading A certain young woman Of
Sacramento Is getting all she can out
of young man who adores her and
who believes implicitly that she in
tends to become his wife, while she
leads him on with "ready-made" smiles
and Establishments deeper and deeper
srto the net Of her destinations, and
"a and aside she laughingly tells her
friends that she SIS only going with
him for the theater tickets, boxes OF
candy, flowers, etc." which she knows
will be forthcoming as long as she
chooses to keep up the farce.
Such a woman Is contemplate, heart
less inhuman, an unnatural monster II
the eyes of decency and morality.
The end viii come sooner or later
Disappointed hopes, distrust, lost faitf
IN woman--these will be the portion oI
the man who is stalking his life's hap
piness on this woman's perfidy WheT
he awalxes and discovers his hopes {
mirage IN the desert of deceit-a van
tshed dream. Those who know hin
well say that this viii not be all, anC
should their fears become reality /
will not be the first time that des
perate and disappointed man has endeC
his troubles with his life and buried ;
broken heart In fancied oblivion.
On the 29th Of Juy last Miss Lily
