THE RIFT IN THE Lutte.

Lovers quarrels generally arise from
the merest trif1e. In about nine cases
out of ten neither side could tell you
how it came about. There were a mis-
understanding, a word taken amiss, a
look that was misinterpreted. Then,
hey, presto, the bugles sound, each side
is flying to battle, and there may be
wounds many and grievous before arms
are laid down once more
Some old writers used to say that the
quarrels of lovers were the renewing
of love. There is no truth in it, 1t
may be that when people make up after
a quarrel they are more loving to each
other for time by way of atonement,
but there is never again the same sense
of confidence and security in each 9TH
erS love.
And be warned, o lovers, both men
and girls-don't let a quarrel begin,
since you can't know where it will end!
Above all, never let yourselves be led
to pretend you don't care whether you
never speak to each other again. You
know it would make you miserable for
life. Bear and forbear-exercise a lit
tie patience. Don't answer back sharp
ly to a sharp word. Let your quarrels
have no beginning; then you may be
sure they will always end well.

THE CHARMING SMALL GIRL.

Why is it that short girls always-or
very nearly always-get married, while
their taller sisters seem to have consid-
cradle difficulty in finding sweethearts !?
Think over the circle of your friends
and see if this is not true. You will find
that, apart from the ever present excep-
tions which prove the rule, the state
ment that short girls always marry is a
true one, though startling.
There must be something specially
attractive about short girls. Perhaps
their weeness appeals to the instinct of
protection in the masculine mind.
When a man meets a girl who is tall or
taller than himself, he feels that she
needs no attention or help, whereas
should his companion be small and
babyish he looks after her with all the
instructive pity of the strong for the
weak. And pity, as everybody knows,
is closely akin to love.
Thus the kind hearted man is more
prone to select as his sweetheart a
short girl than tall one Whether his
selection is really best time alone will
show.
At any rate he thinks she is the one
girl in the world for him, and that's the
main thing.

mains among us, lecturing on such top
les as 1.-The Woman Citizen English
Puritans," London Society and Men
tai Epidemics.'' London Society" and
Mental Epidemics'' might perhaps be
bracketed together as course of two
lectures.
She must have been born to woman's
rights advocacy, for she made her first
speech in favor of feminine suffrage
while yet in her teens, and she was so
persuaded through and through of the
justice of her sex's claim to equality
with man that she induced her betroth-
ed to agree to her retaining ner own
name after marriage, and she has al
ways done so. She was a beautiful, ac-
compliShed girl; she is a beautiful, ac-
complished woman, and very eloquent
one.
During her brilliant girlhood Mrs.
Miller studied for the medical profess
sion and won first honors in her exami-
nations, but British law did not then
permit women to be practitioners, and
she was obliged to abandon this part of
her plan. Then she went in with the
enthusiasm of a strong soul for lltera-
ture and humanitarian work, especially
agitating for the rights of woman, do
ing her part toward bringing in the day
when her sex might practice medicine
in England. That day has come.
When she was only. twenty-one, Mrs.

them to the theater door. She stopped
when they stopped, and Sam swore like
a teamster to himself, but he had to get
a ticket for her to The Bloody Finger
Print too.
But the slickest of all was the way
she worked the Belladonna club to get
herself to their swell reception She
wrote the chairman of the entertain
ment committee that she had a poem
on the mystical charms of belladonna
and would not he like to have her send
it to be read at the reception? She had
read it in the midst of thunders of ap-
plause before meeting at which Sena-
tor Snorey was present, and she wrote
him, and Senator Snorey said he never
in all his life heard anything like it
And that was SO, too, for there never
was anything like Alminy Popkins'
poetry. The entertainment chairman of
the Belladonnas is soft headed kind of
a thing-can't bear to snub a woman
SO of course he wrote Popkins to come
and read the poem herself. She did go
and read it, and there she was smiling
and smirking around and making pec-
pie compliment her poem as though she
was somebody. She bores folks till
they dread the sight of her, but she gets

THE HANDSOME MAN
VERSUS THE PLAIN MAN.

All women are proveFbially beauty
lovers, and it is always the handsome
man who commands their first youthful
love. But are the handsome men the
most Interesting? No, most decidedly
not.
They are apt to regard their personal
appearance too highly, whereas the
plain man knows that he cannot win
the girls favor by his appearance, but
by his manner.
Therefore he studies how to be inter-
esting The consequence is that. al
though the handsome man may attract
at first, the plain man will win in the
long run by the very force of his supe-
rior intellect and fascination.
Gazing into the most beautiful eyes
grows insipid when the owner hasn'
two ideas to exchange, while one for
gets a mans lack of beauty in the
charm of his cultivated mind.
OF course if a handsome man has
brains and talent also he can carry all
before him, but the combination rarely
goes together
OF course every girl considers the
man of her choice to be handsome
whether he really is so or not. Love is
proverbially blind. Thus perhaps our
engaged girl readers will disagree with
the statement that handsome men Of
ten make very poor sweethearts.
The man who knows he is handsome
is as bad as the girl who knows she is
pretty.
The good looking man who never
spends moments thought on his good
looks-he is the ideal lover But he is
very scarce in these days when male
foppishness and Irritation are held to be
two of life'S fine arts.

their mite, and in doing so to show
their loyalty to her late majesty.
