terest by a discreet Irritation with an
other girl but you may be sure in such
an instance that her heart was seriously
involved in the first place By giving
her cause for jealousy q man may test
womans love but he can't win her
heart that way.
In the matter of jealousy men and
women are entirely different A woman
is never jealous of man unless she
loves him. If she doesn't care for him
what he does is a matter of no moment
to her. When she sees him with anoth-
er woman she is only thankful that he
isn't boring her. OF the man she loves
or is beginning to love she is desperately
jealous. A word. a look the slightest
action on his part is taken by her as a
cause of jealousy and she makes herself
miserable over nothing. She is jealous
of his mother his sisters, every woman
that he admires ard if she is his Wife.
of mis- men friends. Before her marriage
a woman is inclined 10 make rather a
chum of her lovers friends but after
marriage it is all off. With the we'd
ding ring seems to go an intuitive dis
trust and susplc1on of all her nus
bands former companions and her life
is devoted to widening the breach which
his marriage made between them.
Until q woman is sure Of man she
is also jealous of all his past loves She
seeks them out. courts them. studies
them and narrowly watches him for
trace of the old feeling for them. Once
assured of his preference for her, how
ever, she loses interest in them. She
no longer dishkes them and the thought
of the old affair gives her no worry.
With a man just the opposite is true.
He never ceases to be jealous of the for
mer lovers of the woman he loves and
he hates them with q cOrdialiLY that a
woman's hatred of her rivals could new

"A woman's jealousy is aroused with
sighter cause than mans but it is not
so lasting, so intense nor so general A
man is jealous of every woman IN
whom he takes the slightest interest He
IS jealous of his sisters. his daughters,
his casual friends. He is jealous of the
