LONGS TO BE HER HUSBANDS SWEETHEART
his sweetheart without taking some
little token. If he does not take her
the token he leaves something for her
to treasure after he has gone. Does
man think that a woman does not
want these reminders after she has
become a wife? Does he think when
he comes home at night that his wife
will think any the less of him If he
reads something to her, as he did be-
fore she gave up her father and
mother for him?
The keynote of the happiness of
woman-the true woman-was sound
ed the other day in this country when
a wife whose husband had required
her to appear I'M public for the pleas
ure of people whom she did not know
and for his financial benefit said, in
such a pitiful way that the words
Travelled across the continent by wire
that she wanted to be the mans sweet
heart. Her husband had given her
shelter. He had given her jeweled
gowns. He had placed her where the
applause Of men and women fell upon
her ears every night he had laid al
her feet the tribute which her beauty
and genius had won But when shs
lOnged to be his sweetheart the dooI
was shut
All the foregoing is in the interes
OF women. 1t is always best to b
just. While women hunger for at
tention, they must not think at an
time that courtship after marriage y
one sided affair. The best though
that any woman can lay close to he
heart was handed down by the bes
man that ever walked this earth l
Is so simple that a child may learn !
and never forget It. 1t is, 1T is NOR
blessed to give than to receive. l
the wife hungers for attention, AM
that covers all, she must be willing q

plasticum for gUtta.
This substance has two important uses.
one is for insulation in telegraph instru-

submarine cables. which It protects bet

water or the animal attacks beneath the

Of various kinds by surgeons and dentists.
It plays also part in the manufacture
OF golf halls.
At least 100 tons a year Of gutta percha
have been used since 1855 in submarine
cables. the length Of which has reached
over 200o00 miles.
