FOR THE MARTHAs.
The Seven Real Worries Of Woman's
Life.

The Seven Real Worries Of Woman's
Life.
Not half the horrors that women sup
pose are going to happen to them ever
do happen. Yet 1t is in the nature OF
the gentle sex to expect and look out
for them-to anticipate what fate may
never send. The form that women
nurture It, too, is so snebulous. so
vague, so terrifying because so scanti-
IL defined, as to be absolutely possess
i've. 1t takes a horrible hold Of the
Imagination and works upon the mind
like subtle poison.
The chief fears to which women are
prone have been numbered as seven,
and the greatest are said on good au-
thority to be, first, ''the fear of being
an old maid and, secondly, that Of
growing old"
The others are fear Of losing a hus-
bands love, Of accidents, Of loss Of
money, OF loss OF friends and OF the
future generally.
The third fear is a very potent one.
1t is the fear Of losing husbands
love- Tradition teaches women that
men soon tire Of their wives and that
when the bloom Of woman's youth has
worn away the lore Of man goes with
1t.
The thrill of alarm is to some Curl
ously constituted natures a pleasant
one. Upon no other hypothesis can
one account for the states of wild an
guish into which so many women work
themselves when. delayed BIZ some
quite trivial occurrence. the husband
or son does not come home at the usual
hour. As the little wife sits and waits
at home for the better half she sees
him in her minds eye in street acct
dents of various awful kinds, herself
IN widows weeds. the funeral, the
breaking up Of tho little home. her
own avalanche Of grief sweeping her
into an early tomb
or IL 1t is not her husband who is the
hero Of her morbid visions IT Is her
baby or her growing brood Of children
who may be killed before her eyes or
when they are old enough to marry
may choose some one she does not
like. The last situation is about the
most absurd Of the whole seven, but it
is nevertheless q fear that haunts hum
dreds Of good mothers.
