I opens her own doors. Is. not showing
Jealousy If she indicates a little senti-
ment when her husband rushes to pick up
another woman's fan, or insists upon car
rying a parcel the size of a gumdrop.
She is only i~rritated by the mans lack
OF good breeding. That is the feeling
which rank;es In the husbands heart, too,
| when his wife ignores his wishes and
tastes. and caters to strangers. or rouses
into interest only at the approach of an
other man. The wife who has lost. her
| youth and bloom is sometimes hurt at hav-
ing less attention and fewer compliments
from her still young-looking husband than
the young women who cross his horizon. If
she exhibits this feeling she should not
goes into Mysteries because her husband
danced with someone else at the ball, or
walked down the street with a %neighbor's'
wife.
One is wounded in her sensibilities. the
other is suffering from selfshness and
petty tyranny.
No husband can offer a greater insult
to a respectable wife than to be jealous
Of her.
It is an Indication that he believes she
is unworthy of confidence or trust. 1t is
an equal insult to noble manhood when a
wife constantly suspects her consort of
deceiving her.
In the early days of married life such
suspicious are more excusable than after
the passage of years.
Many a man marries, doubling all wom-
ankind. because he has CHANGED to en-
counter weak and irresponsible members
OF the sex during his bachelor days. He
is full Of suspicion of his wife at the least
pIovocation. 1t is a triumph for all
ncpie womanhood when such a man is led
to perfect faith and confidence. and the
wife who so leads him by her loving dis
cretion may well afford to feel g~ratifed
that she bore his early unjust doubts with
patience.
But when after years of correct living
and absolute dignity of department a
good wife is the victim of continual sus-
picion and misconstruction, 1t is an evil
dence that the husband is either insane
or oowardly in his wish to insult her
womanhood.
Jealousy is self-love grown rank with
lack of proper care of the heart soil.
Self-love is a good plant to cultivate. but
1t must be the self-love that takes pride
in the Divine Self-not the catering to the
petty self.
The Jealous maniacs should never be
aggravated and never catered to-quiet
treatment should be resorted to until the
paroxysms pass. and then reason and af-
lection used as tonics and balms.
If there is no improvement they should
be made to understand the impossibility
of continuing life under the same roof
with the object of their suspicion.
Unless love means mutual confidence
and trust and respect. 1t Is not love.
Friendship should never submit for one
hour to the strain of jealousy. Love. may
submit for a season. and hope for reforma-
tion, but the jealous friend is not q friend,

There is no class of society more IN
need of sympathy than the bachelors of
both sex.
With men it is quite as bad as
with women; neither get much out of life
because they do not divide their joys or
their sorrows.
Nothing in Holy Writ is more clearly
defined than that it was the intention of
the Creator of all things that man and
woman should live together after the holy
ordinance of marriage.
Men who are engrossed with the cares
of business need the quiet of a home TO
which they car go and lay aside the wor-
ries and vexations which beset them.
When they a been successful they
need some one to share their happiness
who will accord to them the full measure
of credit which is their due, and which
an Indifferent world never gives.
If they are discouraged. they need the
balm of sympathy and announcement
which a loving faithful wife is ever ready
to give.

THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN IGNOBLE
JEALOUSY AND WOUNDED AFFECTION.

but a worshiper at the shrine Of personal
egotisn.
We love many friends for many varied
qualities. and the friend who insists upon
being the only friend is usually the one
who IS least capable of being a true friend.
Yet even in friendship there may be q
sentiment which is mistaken for jealousy,
bit which is a far. more justisable feeling.
A woman who had made a special effort
to introduce an old friend to a new ac-
quaintance. was grieved at finding con-
tinual entertainments to which she was
not hidden. offered the new friend by the
old. Her idea of good breeding and
courtesy was wounded. as well as her
heart hurt. at what could but seem in
difference 10 her.
Another deeply loved and cherished
friend passed the home of a woman for
several weeks on an average of two or
three times to visit a mutual friend to
whom the former had presented her. She
did not besrudge the friend the first place
in the others regard, but she was grieved
by the lack of interest which could make
the neglect of herself possible.
And yet the discriminating min
classes all these emotions in one category
and calls them jealousy.
As well class all plants growing in a
garden under the name of poison ivy.
The noble nature is incapable of sus-
picion or jealousy, but the noble nature
cannot help feeling pain when needlessiy
wounded by a lack of consideration or
courtesy.
But the nobler and broader the nature is.
the sooner it will rise above its troubles
and forget its injuries. For only the retty
and ignoble 'larbor Ill will and bitterness.

Few women, and no men. seem able to

noble jealousy and wounded pride and

evidence of weakness, and it usually indi-
Gates a very narrow nature"
Half an hour later the man went into
rhapsodies of admiration over the beauty
of a young woman acquaintance. He
called attention to each separate feature,
and devoted half an hour to discussing
her excellent qualities.
A lady who had listened to his .homily
upon jealousy turned to his wife and COM
plimented her upon her costume and COM
plexion. The woman looked pleased and
the husband looked surprised. Neither
knew that the lady intended to reprove
him for his tasteless monopoly of all
words of praise for an acquaintance. The
wife was in 10 sense a jealous woman,
but she could not fall to feel that her hus-
bands absolute lack of gallantry to her
and his lingering eulogies of another's
charms were not dignifed.
A wife sat and listened to the compli-
ments of a society gallant for half IN
hour after the arrival of her husband at
a social function in the home of a mutual
friend. The husband had been absent for
a few days and his wife had not seen him
during that time. The American Hello,

tered. Afterward. when the husband ex-
pressed a feeling Of hurt pride at her con-

The man really cared for his wife and

his return meant as much to her as the

RECENT COMMENT.


Worlds Work.
Judge Alton B. Parker is a stickler for rigid mainte-
nance of the terms of the Constitution. A few years
ago. after vigorous argument in consultation, he pre-
pared q dissenting opinion to his courts decision-reached
by a vote of 5 to 2-that the New York statute, COM
peiling municipalities to see that contractors paid work.
men the prevailing rate of wages, was unconstitutional
He argued that the Constitution gives each State a right
to decide on what terms its business or the business of
one of its parts, shall be done. Two years later, a sim
liar case was appealed from Kansas to the United States
Supreme Court. The Supreme Courts decision followed
almost exactly Judge Parkers reasoning. Again, a case
almost similar arose in New York. Meanwhile, Judge
Parker, with his characteristic perseverance. had worked
day and night until he had collected all the decisions
ever made in the United States on the question Of the
constitutionality of statutes. Some of these were copied
from manuscript records, so that Judge Parker has now
in his library at Rosemount the only complete collection
of such decisions. When the second case came to the
court he was prepared. He quoted decision after de-
cision, developed the whole theory of State rights under
the Constitution, and brought in. as a triumphant REIN
forcement, the Supreme Courts decision clinching his
own former dissenting opinion. This time the vote was
8 to 2 again, and Judge Parker again read an opinion.
But this time it was the courts opinion. Clear thinking
and assiduous work had made his idea prevail.
The large fact underlying this was that Judge Parker
believes that the Constitution clearly marks the func-
lions of executives, courts and Legislatures, and that no
one of these departments of the Government should
trench on the others.

No matter how successful a woman may
be alone. there is nothing that can com

The report of the physicians of New
York that the greater number of their
pneumonia patients this winter have been

at all astonishing.

who have rooms and tax their meals

give the care so necessary in such cases.
We honor women who ave the courage
to take up arms against the ills of life to
which all are subject; at the same time,
however, one should feel disinclined to
encourage the prevalent disposition on the
part of young women in this country to
be Independent of the stronger sex.
On the contrary, they should be en-
treated to follow the teachings of st.
Paul, who said: II will, therefore, that
the younger women marry, bear chill
dren. guide the home, give none occasion
to the adversary TO speak reproachfully."

In these days OF crowded avenues in
every profession and vocation, it is more
and more difficult for men to succeed, and
still harder for women to steer clear of
the difficulties that beset them in their
struggle for existence or the qualification
of their ambitions.
1t would be easier to share the fortunes
of a worthy husband, Notwithstanding it
might be necessary to economize and
make sacrifices for a time.
To be shielded from the buffetings of
the world Is worth more than all the
adulation one might win If she should
eventually triumph. In some women the
overweening desire to dress and to in
dulge in the extravagances of the wealthy
destroys their domestic tastes and in
duces them to submit to ~indignities at
which all true women recoil.
If grim necessity forces women to join
the great army of bread-winners. let them
have an equal chance with men. Pay
them like wages for like services. But
