Feminine
Snapshots
Prominent Points In the
Ever Widening Sphere
of Woman

A curious thing happened recently.
Under the hypnotic" spell which
comes from a long course of novel
reading and lack of useful and steady
employment a girl married hastily a
man whom she did not know well. Her
family advised against the match, but,
as usual, this rather hurried it on. The
young woman. after a few months Of
matrimony, found that novels are not
what they seem. Her husband was ex-
actly the opposSe of the fiction heroes
she had adored. The husband who
had seemed a hero became to her a
brute and monster. He really treated
her very badly, but kept tab" on her
so she could not get away from him.
The law declared she was his property,
body and bones. At length, in despera-
ton, she ran away and returned to her
family while the husband was absent
from home. Her family made her vel
come. especially two stalwart brothers.
A continent now separated her from
the ex-hero, but no sooner had he re-
turned to his dismantled home than
he loped of hOtfoOt after the wife
who had found his society so unde-
sirable He drove in a carriage to the
door of the lady's brothers home and
demanded" - demanded, mind you -
that his wife should be turned over
to him like a piece Of luggage. For
answer the big brothers handcuffed the
assumed owner of that woman and
took him to the police station. Now,
here is the question; here are two

break into his wife's presence when
