fact of having to hide with sort of

ends in I fascination for them. A wo-

him. which grows upon her until from

One of tie saddest cases l ever knew.
which resulted in divorce and other

regarded all social intercourse as sa-
tanic surprise parties. His wife had
become the mother of several children.
When walking together one day. they
chanced TO meet a man who had courted
the wife in her school days, but whom
she had not seen since long before her
marriage. The gentleman was delight

wooed. and she too was pleased. She
introduced her husband. and the three

dread of exposure through alien sources.
There is no gainsaying that people
would be often very much happier II
kept in ignorance OF many things which.
perhaps, they should not know, but the
seeming deception will work out its own
destruction, perhaps. just at a time when
one is least prepared to meet the shock.
A mans nature is often near akin to
waxen receptacle, where the slightest
tracing makes an impression. II this
nature inclines to jealousy or suspic-
iousness, the impression is too deep and
lasting to be easily effaced, and while a
man may not allude 10 certain episodes
until years have passed. yet the day may
come when they may be revealed. ac-
centuated. and emphasized in manner
never dreamed OF and totally at vari-
ance with all actual facts. and which
comes as a heart breaking blow to the
woman.
II is this phase Of a mans nature that
often makes it advisable for a woman TO
remain disc-eetly silent regarding The
ordinary incidents OF the past. II is

That chance meeting was the only
time she ever saw him, but the hus-
hand was infuriated. She tried TO laugh
IL off as IN idle compliment. out he
made it pivot of the most CALLING in
suits and tauntings that know no ces-
sation day or night.
The woman had been so devoted. but
under the continual fire of abuse her
love grew dormant, her spirits dropped,
and at last her health gave way and she
became the most pitiful wreck. and not
until long after the courts freed her did
her nature rebound. II was a most use
less sacrifice.
Now. when a man is imbued with
such nature it is folly to tell him
anything more than it is possible TO
conceal. Had he not been present at the
meeting, the wife understood him too
well to have told him of the triflins
compliment of which she thought MOTH
ing. but which she knew would irritate
him, and it would have been wise for
her to keep her own counsel.
1t is worse than folly for wife to-
suppose that she can keep secrets from
the fact that she is apt to betray Fer
self. or II she does not some one will
take the job off her hands and betray
her in spite OF herself.

There arc men so absolutely selfish
in this respect that u wife who sighs

A woman who has never received
homage save that OF the man whom sh >

young or very susceptible. and a man
should consider 1t a compliment TO his
own good taste that the woman of his
choice had been deemed fair to other
eyes. A man who did not have rivals
to outstrip in the pursuit of his love
would hardly be worthy the conquest
of the woman.
