share home burdens?
This article is not meant for an ar
gUment for the so-called higher edu-
cation of women. or for special train
ing in domestic science. 1 still stand
on the ground of love. 1 am merely
trying to call attention in my own
way to that truth which Emerson ex-
presses when he says that the atmos
phere of the affections is always liable
to mirages.
One of the greatest things that
girl faces when she enters young
womanhood is her liability to fancy
herself in love. She knows that fall
ing in love is one of the feats expect
ed of her. And everything that she
has ever heard or read about the ex-
perience leads her to believe in it's de-
STABILITY. Every influence upon her
tends to make her overemotional and
oversentimental.
This may either make her unwise in
her choice of husband or it may
work another evil. which, to my
thinking, is less to be deplored
When a girl feels at Is or II that
d
does feel so, alas,-has nobody any
responsibility in the matter except
herself and the man who hurt her?
Doesn't the mother come in for some
share of 1t? think she does
She has permitted her daughter to
grow up in an atmosphere of false
sentiment. Too much sentiment is
false in itself. for it is not true to
life as we really live it. And she has
let her learn what love is without first
learning what life is. She has not
kept before her child's eyes a fine
ideal of womanhood-a womanhood
that loves and thinks and works with
the same breath, the same hope, the
same joy and the same sorrow. She
has not treasured the girlish conf
dence which nature gave into her
keeping as a holy trust. Her head, as
much as her unhappy child's heart,
has allowed itself to be led astray.

LOVE, 1T IS DECLARED, is NOT
ALL THERE IS OF WOMAN'S LIFE
BY DOROTHY FENIMORE.

7 n love. girls fancy needs the curb
more often than it needs the spur.
L 1t is high-strung, impatient. aquiv-
er with eagerness for the open road.
1t does not have either real work
enough, or the right kind of fodder to
make 1t reliable
But usually it gets the spur So reck-
lessly do women ride, so careless are
they of consequences. Most of them
are such poor horsewomen. in fact, that
they do not even realize that if they
were better riders they would take no
unnecessary chances.
There is great deal of foolishness
in girls or even a woman's attitude
toward love- Both give it an undue i'm
portance in their lives. They are hypo-
chrondriacs so far as this one malady is
concerned. They have been told so
often, and feel that they are not living
up to their privileges unless they are
enjoying its pleasing pangs every min
ute, whether they can well spare the
time for it or not.
1 do not put much faith in "the whole
existence" theory Spiritually, love is
a beautiful inspiration; practically. it
is the best working hypothesis in the
world for a woman's endeavors; es-
thetically, it is her crown of beauty.
But it is not all that there is of life by
any means
OF course. 'tis true fundamentally
that a woman's sex is her book of fate.
Her greatest happiness and her noblest
career is in marriage and motherhood
and in helping to bring up her grand
children. And love is the means to all
this.
But no girl is going to be a matri-
monial success unless she cultivates her
head and hands as we'll as her heart.
She will need the full powers of all
three after she is married if she pulls
fair in the domestic harness. Love
never yet ran a household capably un-
assisted. And even if it could. what
would be the sense of overworking
ones heart when ones head and hands

cry. There were tears in her eyes
now, and they were not bitter tears.
She began to feel strangely content.
The idea that Herman might fail to
produce the viands for the feast never
entered her head Somehow or other
he had always accomplished what he
started to do, ever since the day he
had braved Farmer Green's bull to
steal for her a certain red checked ap-
pie which she coveted.
When she heard Herman's step at
the door she was just putting the
chrysanthemum he had brought her TO
wear into slender vase to grace the
center of the table.
AS she flung open the door she fairly
gasped. The bundle he carried in
either arm rose above his shoulder She
sat down weakly on a fiat-topped trunk
by the "kithen table" to watch him un-
pack the bundles. He checked off each
package.

EE@ LOSE the window. 1 cannot

~ thrusting her hatpin back
and forth in the velvet with
trembling fingers.
The man did as he was told and then
turned to her wonderingly.
Cant stand what?" he asked.
THAT noise down in the street!
Those gamins footing horns and beg
ging for pennies It's so different from
last year"
The man did not answer at once, but
he understood He could see II all the

table in the center with its VIVID req
cloth and green shaded lamp, fianked
on one side by plates of apples and
nuts. and on the other by copies OF
The American Farmer" and The
Ransom County Herald.
How they had both stood in the door
way that last Thanksgiving night for
final glance at the dear old room. Ana
the next time they had entered 1t, how
everything had changed! Death, des-
olation, the village auctioneer and the
foreclosure of the mortgage, all these
had come to the little farm in less than
twelve months. The two years that
Janet had spent in the big city deny
ing herself everything, working in an
office during the day and in her studio
room at night to send home interest
money for the mortgage, now repre-
sented just so much wasted time
They had both come from Center
vile. she as a typewritist and he as a
bookkeeper-both fresh from business
college. The mighty city had de-
manded much of their country vitality
and energy. so that they had seen very
little of each other considering that
they had come from the same town, yet
somehow both had felt comforted in
the thought that the other was within
reach of messenger or telephone.
Janet had lived very much to herself
and her typewriter table. but Herman
had managed to see more of the city
and see more of the city's ways. That
was why he had discovered a desirable
restaurant where he could secure their
table d'hote dinner for Thanksgiving
day at the moderate price of so cents
each.
Now he tried to speak cheerfully and
to avoid looking at the hands that
trembled and the eyes that would fill
in spite of Janet's strenuous efforts
to maintain her composure.
Hurry up. JanetI' he said; 'the
Ramona fills UP early, you know
II would not care if every table was
taken" she replied impulsively. "Oh.
forgive me, Herman, when you are so
kind TO think of me to-day, but
Thanksgiving dinner in a restaurant
you know that seems only for the
homeless ones, and it makes me realize
more than ever that l belong to that
class now"
She looked around the room in
which she had gathered the few family
heirlooms brought down from the
farm. 1t did not look homeless to Her
man, and it's possibilities as the scene
Of the Thanksgiving dinner were
brought to mind as he caught sight Of
the handle of a chafing dish, sticking
out from the cretonne cupboard Gu =
tain.
Il say, Janet. we won't go out. Well
cook dinner right here"
She sat down very suddenly and
stared at him.
Start Thanksgiving dinner at IL
o'clock?" she asked half bitterly. And
will you please tell me how you can
cook a dinner by the aid of one oil
stove, not guaranteed to work, and a
chafing dish built for two?"
Dead easy" was his reply, as he
The San Francisco call., 1904-11-24

buttoned up his overcoat and reached
for his hat. You fill the oil stove ana
get the chafing dish ready, and set out
your table, and I'll do the rest.
Before she could ask any more ques-
tions the door closed behind him. Me-
chanically she removed her hat ana
reached for the gingham apron Whlch
she used when preparing her oreak-
fasts and luncheons. Her dinners she
always took at a nearby restaurant.
She lifted the typewriter from its tapie
and hid it in the closet. Then sne
spread a newspaper over the table.
That would do for the culinary depart
ment, she argued.
She removed the student lamp from
the center table and spread upon IT a
square piece of plain linen, handed
down by Grandmother Harris. Then
she went to a trunk which she had
never opened since the day il left the
farm, and, one by one, she lifted out
the treasured pieces of family crock
