Why Does a Woman Worry?

Woman is not only spendthrift at the
bargain counter, but she is ii spendthrlft
of strength. She makes the most ruinous
overdratts on her nerves, vitality and
endurance Few of us live the sort Of
lives that keep us youthful and buoyant.
1t is either a matter Of extreme idleness
of extreme activity. There seems 40
medium, balance or between condition.
DR.. Helen Densmore says: ut seems 10
me plain that the more physiologicaly we
live the more perfectly we build this ma
terial temple, the more easily the spirit
can shine through, revealing its nature,
which is always the same.
One often hears Il woman make the
statement that she worries because she IS
i'll. 1t is more often the case that she
is i'll because she worries. There is close
communication between mind and body
A suking disposition takes away every
line and semblance of youth. DO you
know why? Because the fretful mental

the sensitive nerves of the stomach, and
these nerves sulk in sympathy. The APP

Where lincoln Was Married.

The old Edwards home on South Sec
ond street, where Abraham Lincoln aud
Mary Todd were married, which was
later converted into st. Agathas school
under the direction ot the Episcopal
church in this diocese. is now being made
into one of the most beautiful homes in
Springfield.
The old residence has witnessed some
very interesting events during its life.
The old home as it was had many hooks
and corners. its old~fashioued statelinpss
added to the charm OF romance and
many were the stories told by schoolgirls
Of how Lincoln was married i'm this

The front purlor, whore Lincoln was
married, has been changed. in that one
large massive window replaces the for
mor low French windows Of which there

TIE Happy Medium in Marriage.

Such disillusons are perhaps bitterest
befween husband and wife. just be-
cause this relation is the highest, the
hottest. into which human beings can
enter. its close tie almost binding two
souls into Il single one-iust because of
this fact. its diSappointments are the
keenest, the most searching of any upon
this pain-spun globe, There is no seen
ery so beautiful, no art 50 satisfying, no
pleasure so stimulating, no sensation so
absorbing, as to hold steadfast the soul
gIipped in conjugal distress, writes
Marion Foster Washburne in Har-
per's Bazaar. 1t steals all life from
life itself, and leaves it a gray. unre-
Sponsiye corpse. 1T is a pity there is no
medium between loneliness and mar
riage" said NovaliS, in what we may
imagine to have been the perception Of
some such hideOus moment. They are
extremes" And between these extremes
pulsates a quivering pendulum, the
yearning heart of the lover.
Extremes-that is just it; we are so
made that we can grasp at once within
our consciousness the two extremes OF
any given question, the affirmative with
the negative. To do so requires 10 eff
fort of the will. but is as much imposed
upon us, through the structure Of our
minds, as is the necessity of breathing
out again what we have once meathed
in. The difficult and at the same time
the essential thing is that we should be
able and willing to construct between
these two extremes the intermediate
steps that link them-that make them.
though opposed, unit. Thus we can
all see at one and the same time the
ideal state we fail to reach, and the
actual state which exists because of that
failure. TO build between them the long
bridge Of relationships, span by span,
cable frightened by opposing cable, learn
~
just where we must quietly hear with
The imperfections of others: this is the
difficult task to which perforce, every
human life that grows into full con-
sciousneSs is devoted. Instead of pa
tiently building this bridge, we tend to
toss lively glance from bank to bank,
and launch ourselves buoyantly and
emptily upon the insufficient air.-Se-

Is BrilIiancy or
Meaiocritv Better in a Husband?

Eyery woman worthy of the name
wants to take a pride in her husband and
wants people 20 look up to him. she
does not even object to looking up To him
a little herself. although she may not ad-
NIT it.
In any case, the ideal of most women
is man whose name is on everybody 5
lips; man whose sheer force of will and
indomitable energy has forced him To the
front in the race for life. If he has Eor
got there when she marries him the 30
ahead woman endeay0rs TO help him to-
ward the goal.
But the question that every woman
has subsequently TO settle for herself
when her ambitions are fulfilled is very
Old one. Is ii best TO have a brilliant
husband? Am | happier than the wives
Of the merely mediocre Jones and
Brown, or, on the other hand, has my
husbands improved position in life
proved a lever to force US apart?
Then this conclusion is forced upon
her The woman who wishes her hus-
band to excel in the professions, in lit
erature, science, or IN commerce, in short,
to become a first fighter in amy walk al
life, must be content 10 take a second
place in his thoughts. Modern competi-
ton is so keen thar he must concentrate
all his energies in one direction if be is
to succeed.
Many women recognize this. and are
moderately happy in the limited sphere
left them. To others. on the contrary
the realization is terrible. Indeed, un
less Il girl is prepared to sacrifice hei
own feelings to her ambitious husbands
career she should continue a spinster, OF
marry mediocrity.
After all, there is a good deal to he
said for the mediocre man. He may
never give his wife "A fine automobile il
which to ride, but he will not be toe
| busy to personally pilot her through life
Another advantage he has over the bril-
| liant husband is that he is always leve
and calm i'll his temperament. No mar
c&n enter into the competition of what
may he called the clever world with
GU; subjecting his body and his mind {,
| 4 great strain.
So it follows that the brilliant hus
band, no matter how he sparklcs outside
his home, is often very dull within it
The history of the married lives of grea
men IS not always uncheckered, ant
would 90 far TO prove that the man whC
is not "A genius is more likely to make

Yet he need not be a dullard. That il

time, taking him all round, putting hi,

that great positions are as certainly sur
