Crushed by the other woman's accuse.

displeasure. she became the most pitt.
able physical wreck. And there have
been a number Of parallel cases where
wcmen have been horribly wronged
by calumnies having no foundation in
fact
The unfortunate phase Of such hap.
penlngs IL. that no woman is immune
against them, no woman can guard
against them, nor can any one tell
when such storm may break over her
head.
An Awful Example.
The awful fate OF the beautiful
American girl in London, whom world.
famed artists and sculptors rayed
over paying her the highest compli.
ment ever paid beautiful womanhood
Gods Masterpiece is one of the sad.
dest examples of these awful vista.
tions ever recorded. The cowardice OF
man who had besought mother to
leave her daughter under the protec.
ton of his home, in casting a young
girl alone and adriit during that moth
cr's absence. is horrible to contem.
plate. Several Of the famous artists
countrymen now in New York. pro.
Tossing n personal acquaintance with
all the parties concerned, have plainly
expressed the opinion that jealousy IN
the home is the real solution Of the
problem.
The subtcrfuge of man who takes
refuge in silence Is despicable. and II
there is wee sma' voice" within him
the echoes of the sobs and tears and
rawlings Of that lovely girl wrecked by
him must haunt him day and night.
There is no Law that reaches such
atrocities. but for one who by covert
insinuations works such devastation
as has been wrought in this case some
punishment should be meted out. Moth.
ing that he could now do would restore
To Gods Masterpiece the beautiful
youth he has wrecked, or bring back to
her heart her lovely faith in all things
beautiful and the gladncss that makes
youth the period that life emblazons
with its glorious sunshine.
In whatever light we view the in.

can dispose of an undesirable guest by
some plausible subterfuge that will not

by the manner OF delivering.
No one will suppose that this man
anticipated for one moment such a
tragic denouement. but his own coun.

Gossip Double-Edsed.
The sequence proves that one can
never tell how gossip or scandal will
AFFECT its victim. In this case the
blow worse than killed, because 1t fell
upon head and heart as yet unschool.
ed in the bitter lessons OF experience.
An Older. woman. who had known less
of the worlds idolatry and more Of It's
cruelties, could have been more philo.
sophical but the untricd soul incurred
and would not be comforted, as subse.
quent events proved.
There are many women whose lives
are nselessly blighted by the utter
wantonnes of heartless gossip. II is a
safe rule not to believe anything that
you hear and very little that you see.
A jealous woman will circulate any
story against the woman whom she
fancies has wronged her. and very oft.
en- her own diseased imagination con.
jures up the phantom that destroys her
peace OF mind and wrecks the life of
the other.
The more kindly we Judge or regard
others the happier will be sour own
lives. would rather go through life
nursing an abiding faith In every one
with whom ! come in contact, even II
deceived and taken advantage OF, as is
often the case, than to feel that every
one must be regarded with a modicum
of suspicion.

read them, but Judge by the exterior
