THE TWO LIVES.

Two babies were born in the seif-same town.
On the very self-same day;
They laughed and cried in Their mothers ANS
In the very self-same way
And both seemed pure and innocent
AS falling fakes Of snow,
But one Of them lived in te7racsd house.
And ono in the street below.
Two children played in the self-same town.
And the children both were fair;
But one had curls brushed smooth and round,
The other had tangled hair.
The children both grew I'D apace,
As other children grow
But one Of them lived in the te-raced house
And one IN the street below
Two maidsns wrought IN the Self-samo town.
And one was welded and loved;
The other saw thTO' the curtains part
The world where her sister moved.
And one was smiling. a happy bride.
The other knew care and woe.
For one Of them lived in the terracad house
And enc in the street below.
Two women lay dead in the selfsame town,
And one had tender care;
The other was left TO die alone
On her pallet 50 thin and bare.
One had many 10 mourn her los.
For the other few tears would flow.
For one had lived IN the terraced house.
And enc in the street below.
II Jesus. who died for rich and poor.
IN wondrUus holy love,
Took both the sisters IN his arms
And carried them above;
Then all the difference vanished quite.
For In Heaven none would know
Which Of them lived IN the teraced house.
And which n the street below.

Loyemaking as an Art.

Superfcialites appeal to the average
woman moro than they DO to a man.
She has intuition. but it Is not backed
by sound judgment Students Of psy-
chology appreciate this and the mental
process Of woman Is made a separate
study from that Of man by many savants.
When a woman seriously crtieises man
in general for his defects, she IS doing
50 from a woman's point OF view; she
is taking an ex-parte attitude. and the
conclusions she draws need not be &c
cepted by the sterner sex. In the cur
rent Independent there Is a frank dis
! sertatlon on lovemadng. In which the
American man is shown in no enviable
light. The writer goes Into ecstasy over
tho foreigner in the following words;
"Ths Frenchmau. the Italian. the Austrian. arc
50 much more entertaining and. while their pro-
posals are oonspicuously inIrequent without kno0l
edge Of the hank book, entertainers they could
make an American man open his eyeA They do
not lie back and smoke. and expect the woman q
amusa them. But they find her comfortable chaig
and play Chopin 70 her. they invite her 10 take Tea
In charming corners. they plan m0orlght walks and
sunset rides. &c
Lovely indeed. but does Amanda
Saepe Quaesita." as she signs herself
know that the foreigner who so Inthralls
her can say the same well chosen words
to half a dozen women. both before and
after marriage? He has the time and
/ the inclination to make himself agreeable.
Does this prove that foreigners are hap
pier in their home life than the averags
American family? TO many observers
1t means that the European woman shuts
her eyes TO conditions which the Ameri-
can wife will not tolerate.
The man who does not mako love with
the grace Of a French teacher OF deport-
ment and etiquette may make a good
! husband. nevertheless He may have the
faculty OF being man among men, OF
being able to cope with problems, and
/ capable OF providing for a home.
The foreigner who accomplishes things
: Ike his American prototype. is thinking
Of more important matters than the art
OF lovemaking. This nation was put into
tho first rank by men who could not
use endearing terms. for their time was
/ too much engrossed with material things
to study the subtleties Of finer arts.
The American man goes direct to his
task, duty. or diversion. call it what you
will. Look through the Almanach de
| Gotha, and then through Who's Who
and the reason why the American doe,
not measure up to the European as a
beau ideal is patent.
The American man more and more IDOL
ICES woman. He shows Difference to the
sex in the Office, where she comes into
/ competition with him. He respects hel
opinions. and the average girl OF to-day
! has more talent and ability than did hel
mother. Her training is superior tC
] that OF two decades ago. She IS capabl,
Of earning her own living or Of shining
as mistress Of any home. This is to hel
credit, and her laurels cannot be in,
creased by a criticism OF the man whC
bows at her feet, and who seeks TO plac,
her. not on a pedestal. but by his side
where she can share with him the re
ward Of his efforts.
