THE WOMAN YOU USED TO LOVE

Did you ever go back to the woman

the heartache; the self-conflict; the
numbness and all that--to find in her
a friend who understood, whose spirit
had grown sweeter, finer. truer than II
used to be In the old days when you
loved but did not understand? How
beautiful is such friendship and how
rare! There is a tenderness between
you, a sincerity and truth; a subtle
bond of union, infinitely greater in its
strgenth and fineness than the old
time passion ever bore. IL isn't love,
as the world sees tit doesn't ruffe
You or make you blind. There is no
swift and frequent alienation OF
ecstasy and despair; no jealousy or in.
toxication of the senses. but Just peace
and mutual sympathy, and subtle
quiet gladness OF the soul.
You never quite forget her. even
though you meet another woman
which you always do-and marry her
for love. There is always the fragrant
memory of this other woman whom
you loved and lost and found again.

living in constant fear of poison, and
having cats and dogs, and even his
staff taste his food before he partakes

horror Of darkness, and keeping Yildiz
Park really a strong fortress, built
with a special view to protecting him
against attack-lighted all night in

apprehension of attack, and ever ready
to draw one of the three revOlyers
with which he is always armed, on the

literature, and gloating over stories OF
