SHE THINKS HER JEALOUSY
PROVES HER LOVE. WHAT
THINK YOiJ?

This week we have the following
letter from a nearby city:
Il am engaged to young man and
he makes me perfectly wretched by
giving attention to other girls. He
Is so very nice to all of them, and
II seems to me that he would put him
self out any time to be courteous to
them or do them a favor Just as he
would for me. He dances with all of
them just the same as before we were
engaged, and | feel that he should
show decided preference for me.
particularly. since have told him
how feel about 1t. But he just laughs
at me and says I'm too jealous for
any use; and why do suppose he
asked me to be his wife II he thinks
Just as much of some one else. 1t
makes me angry when he makes so
lightly OF my suffering. for know that
my feeling SO jealous of him is proof
of how much more | think of him than
he does of me. He Is never jealous
of me and sometimes | wish he would
be. but have eyes only for him. DO
you think 1t is safe to marry a man
like this when my happiness depends
on having his whole attention? Some
OF the girls dress better than |, and
| can't help envying them and thinking
this Is the reason my fiance gives
them so much attention. l tell him
that he doesn't know what love is or
he would be jealous. too. Please an
swer and say just what you think,
for I'm sure you will agree with me
and ! want to show 1t to him.

And you think your jealousy proves
your great love. Small wonder, as
this has been popular fallacy since
we were climbing trees. That par
ticular bit of monkeydom has adhered
to us with the tenacity of Tyrian pur-
pie to fabric, and through all the
ages souls have stified In the filthy
black fumes of jealousy that pour
forth from Self's Inferno.
There is no question but that you
are in love-with yourself Jealousy
and envy. which seem to dominate
you. are twin daughters of selfshness.
You should be proud of the courteous
conduct OF your fiance to others, for
this is n mark of true culture, and
IL would be poor taste indeed for him
to show you marked preference in
public.
You say you "have eyes only for
him. Poor girl! / would recommend
that you be treated for limited vision,
when you would discover that there
are several other really tolerable men
In the world, and he must weary of
your perpetual gaze. You have an
idea of ownership. This fashion Is
rapidly passing and will soon be num-
bered with the obsolete. 1t Is now the
exception where welded couples own
each other. This thought of owner
ship Is the very first to make mar
riage intolerable. Absolute liberty on
the part OF both is better than the
ownership method.
Love will serve without compulsion.
When measures have to be taken to
compel Love to do her duty, be as
sured there Is room for rent in
somebody's heart, and Tolerance or
Repulsion will be the next tenant.
You cannot coerce an affection. and
1t flies from you the moment you
would snare it. If another could win
the love of your fiance, then he is
not for you. and the sooner you learn
this fact the better. Love is elusive
of all who would chain 1t. Its fetters
must be so tender and invisible that
the wearer knows them not.
Nor can you win Love with fine
clothes; you might gain admiration.
Somewhere In the universe Is n por-
tion of the divine essence that be-
longs to you-when you have earned
1t. You may not find It on this plane,
but 1t is God-given and no earthly
power can take 1t away. SO do not try
to compel Love, which is wholly free
and knows no sort of bondage, for 1t
Is of the soul.
Do not confuse your present at
tachment with the holy passion that
can be understood only by one who
has conquered jealousy. one who can
bless his enemies, one who knows him
