Leavenworth and for a portion Of the

She is not restrained by the pride that would
keep single girl from making up with her
lover. Sho is not ashamed to go and tell John
that she was in the wrong; but the young girl

Arthur than she would think of flying. She de
carcs that as it was Arthur's prerogative to
propose, it s also his prerogatve to make the
first advances
Arthur is probably just as proud as she is,
and being hurt to the quick stays away and

pie have and also because there are all sorts
of things that actually keep them from forgiv-
ing and forgetting. If they do learn to forgive
and forget, it takes them long time, and they
have certainly no conception of bearing and Tor
bearing for only married life teaches that.
A WORLD THAT DOES NOT EXIST.
Before they are married they take themselves
and each other too seriously. The girl docs not
know as much about men as her married sister
does; she has not seen enough OF the sin and
folly in the world TO be able to forgive it. She
is young and she has ideals, she lives in ro-
mantle world that docs not exist.
Suppose that she has formed an ideal Of a
man. as all girls do and suppose that she thinks
that Arthur is the incarnation OF that idenl
Arthur has perhaps never happened to mention
the fact that occasionally when he is out with
the boys he takes glass two He has never

and so decides not TO answer it. This, OF course,
results in broken engagement
BEWARE OF THE QUARREL.
Whether the lovers are married or single they
should beware OF quarrel. If they are single
the chances are against their making up and
love Is too rare and precious thing to be
lightly played with. Men and women are not
perfect, and we should not expect them to be-
Ideals do not exist although we may find people
who approximate to them
Love, also, is not perfect. Certainly at the
beginning, when 1t is new, 1T has many things to
learn and to unlcarn. It is only after many long
years that love begins to come near the perfect
stage.
The reason why lovers quarrel is most dan.
gerous is because even If 1T is made up the feel.
ing of the lovers for each other cannot possibly
be the same it was before they ouarrecd
They may love each other more after the sweet
ceremonies OF the making up process, but there
is the chance that they may find their affections
less, and this is certainly big risk to take

occurred to him to mention it any more than
1t would to say that he got his gloves at certain
store. But one day the girl finds 1T out, and
feeling that her ideal is shattered and that life
is no longer worth living, she breaks off the en-
gagement
Her married sister, on the other hand, thinks
but little Of the occasional or frequent lapses
OF her husband. She has learned good
deal about men and does not expect them to
be perfect So long as they are reasonably good
she is satisfied.
A young girl expects to be made love to all
the time, whereas her married sister has learned
that there arc tics when man feels like max
ing love and times when he doesn't. She knows
that when he s tied he does not feel like exert
ing himself to play the lover and, what is more,
that he doesn't want to be coddled. he Just
wants to be left alone. OF course, he wants GER
tain attentions paid him, such as bringing him
his slippers and his pipe but beyond that he
doesn't want to be bothered.
LOVES YOUNG DREAM ENDED.
The young girl doesn't know enough about
men to realize this, and consequently, If on any
particular night he is not ardent as usual,
she Jumps to the conclusion that his love is
waning She gets huffy and irritable and ae-
cuses him of not liking her He Is too tired to
go into the question very deeply, and being prob
ably irritable himself a quarrel ensues. Alter
an hours pickering back and forth she takes
off his ring and he takes his hat and goes. And
that is the end of loves young dream,
A man simply cannot make love to girl all
the time, any more than he can preserve his
church going spirit all the week. He has got
to think OF his business a good part of the
time, and so he cannot always remember to
think of her by previous agreement at exactly
twenty-five minutes after elevenj or call her up
at five minutes of one, or send her a special
delivery before three. II he is detained at the
Office and unable to get TO her house until an
hour beyond his usual time, she is apt to be-

Right there is very fertile beginning for a
quarrel.
