Pretty True Story.

1t is the same old story. A happy
young husband and devoted wife
struggles through hardships to success
and then on toward wealth and-mis-
cry.
Is Mrs. Laura Corey, wife of the
millionaire, w. Ellis Corey, wishing
for the good old days of poverty?
The father of the millionaire says:
eff my son thinks that Laura does
not love him, he is wrong, dead wrong.
When a woman slaves and starves
through a $40 per month period with
aman, when she mends his clothes and
divides the last crust with him, when
she hears him children and rears or
buries them, as Laura did for Ellis, 1t
is safe to say that she loves him. "
And still we are told the same old
story, the story of a pretty face, a
mans mad infatuation; the story of
mans millions and of a wife's broken
heart. In the good old days, for the
trusting wife, the last crust was sweet
ened by the love of the only man IL
the world.
Empty is the success that bows II
shame the gray head of devoted
father.
Cursed is the gold that only feed
the evil desires that break the heart o.
a faithful wife
And sometimes we of poverty com
plain of our hard lot.
Is there no glitter of glass upon you
table?
Maybe the shine of glass and silve
is not for you.
Look for the shine in the eyes of tn
husband, still your lover. Though hi
hands are grimy with toll and thougl
your own are hardened with homel
duties, if the shine of love is there, b
glad.
Think of the broken-hearted wcma
of wealth and count your mercies.
Look and think, then break you
crust, and though it be the last, b
grateful for the love that it keel
sweet.
