The mature man and woman see life as

right to the common failings Of humanity.

wife has sense enough to be glad that
he is being amused, and does not meet
him with reproaches when he comes in
The husband acknowledges his wife's
right 70 have intimate friends among
women and even TO have good comrades
among nice men. He has too much sense
to be Jealous. once he is persuaded that
he holds the first place in her heart.
The wife has OUtgrOWn the fancy that
a man continues to love a woman Just
because he is married to her He feels
it is up 70 her to try TO amuse him and
make herself attractive for him. as she

IT HIS is not an easy question to an
swer. The more IL is made the
i subject OF thought. the more diff
cult does its answer become
Much viii depend upon the definition Of
the terms employed and the point OF de-
parture which may be taken.
Except these two considerations be kept
IN mind. it viii be difficult, perhaps i'm
possible, TO reach any well defined con
cIusion. The difficulty is all the greater
because almost each word In the ques-
ton is capable Of various shades Of
meaning.
Taking the word language" with a
broad meaning. 1 do not hesitate to say
that its possession and employment is
mans greatest natural gift. am not
unaware Of the fact that there is much
question as 20 the sense in which Ian
guage is a natural gift; but the definition
here given Of language viii help clarity
our minds al that point.
What is here meant by language Ian
guage is the expression Of thoughts by
words or articulate sounds. In the exact
meaning Of the word, according to the
best light Of scientific investigation, Ian
guage is the peculiar possession Of man
1t is not denied that some sort Of Ian
guage IS common among monkeys and
other animals. but in the full sense Of the
term language is the possession Of man
only. Even in the case Of man, there is
a language that is not articulate speech
the language Of the eye and OF various
gestures. Thus it comes to pass that the
may be brOadeHed to mean any
form Of communicating thought - by
means Of sight, hearing or the sense Of
touch in any form.
