when my husband was Fl and
was II, and he was getting $14 a
week, he seemed to love me. But, af-
terward, as his fortune increased. his
affection for me diminished. And he
got so rich after a while that he said
he wished were dead" 1t Is the
story told In a New York divorce court
by the wife Of e. H. Tucker, wealthy
Insurance broker. 1t Is, In substance,
the pitiful story told in thousand Ill
vorce courts all over the country. 1t
Is the pathetic tragedy which, in these
days of wonderful prosperity and
rapid fortune-making, has blighted
homes unnumbered. Money, honestly
got and wisely used, Is good to have.
But there Is not enough of 1t in all
the world to recompense the loss Of
the sweet joys Of the humblest home
that Is lit and warmed by love. Pros
perity Is a precious blessing to those
worthy of it and able to stand 1t
But all the wealth Of the mines and
farms and factories cannot give such
Btuulue duu elluuIluB 5tll5ldCIlou "
the soul as does the wealth of love
and faith and sacrifice that makes the
home the cornerstone Of civilization.
The real life Is not outside ourselves,
but within. The real possessions are
not what the hands may grasp, but
what the heart may hold. A lot Of
men will not believe these vital truths
are anything but empty distractions
In their infatuation for the material,
the practical, they recognize no values
that are not marketable and see no
substance In anything they cannot
clutch in their palms. They must
wreck a home before they can know
what 1t Is made Of. They must en-
bitter and blast their lives before they
can learn what Is worth while In them.
To be rich and still retain the simple
virtues and the honest loves-there Is
the real prosperity.
