steinmesser Of the same place.

He told her so.
Miss Steinmesser, a beautiful girl did
not reciprocate Alberts affection and
told him so.
Albert was filled with despair, and he
thought about the refusal until he was
nearly crazed. Meeting the girl on the
street, he threw acid In her face.
The girls beauty was almost spoiled,
and her eyes were endangered.

goes to the penitentiary the better He

Caring nothing for him before. she now
says she will do all she can to keep
him out Of prison and IL he does go she
will wait for him and marry him when
he gets out.
That is the woman of 1t.
If the girl does not change her mind
and does marry Albert she will make
great mistake. man whose wires get
crossed like that would be dangerous
man to live with.
But
The incident serves to reveal the gen.
tIeness of woman's heart And 1t shows
that above all things a woman wants
to be loved for helself A woman may
desire money and social position, and de-
sire them very much but she yearns most
of all to be loved for her very self. She
may barter love for other things, but will
always know she has cheated herself.
Affection alone will appease the hun

It is customary for men to say no man
can really know a woman. They call her

sphinx and other names. That is a mis-

You can read the most sacred secret of
any womans heartily loving her. But

Significance.
Love Is of account only in action.
Love is proved by deeds. 1t must do
as well as say. Words may satisfy a
heart hunger for awhile, but in the mean
time the stomach may grow hungry, and
as between heart and stomach the for
mer can stand the longer siege of pow
erty. i
Even the novelist, who is expert IN
love conversation, Is under compulsion
to get move on his lover that he may
verify the soft talk.
The husband who really loves his
wife will strife with all his might to
save her from hardships and to give
her all the comforts and as many of
the luxuries of life as he may be able
to secure.
Love is another word for sacrifice.
Love means self-denial.
The husband who loves his wife will
be not only affectionate, but helpful. Love
is unselfsh. 1t does not take, out gives.
There are plenty of husbands who are
short on words. In speech they are nat
urally undemonstrative. They are not
given to expression. But they are gen.
timely in love with their wives.
In fact, most men are built that way.
Romantic love disoourses are well
enough in their way, but unless backed
up by actual effort and real unselfish-
ness they are "as sounding brass or a
tinkling cymbaL"
A man may be as reticent of love
speeches as Miles Standish, but constant
in devotion to the day of his death.

But 1t also stands for a lot that is not

You see Miss Morosini has been called

There's prospect the poverty-stricken
maid may be able to wear no more than
two or three dresses day.
Speaking of dresses. you older ones.
do you remember how the girls used to
dress?
There was Molly Smith.
Molly did not have three different
dresses day. She had only about three

There was that insey woolsey gown in
which Molly MIXED the cows and washed
the dishes before school time. Mostly
Molly wore the linsey woolsey In school,
and she was good to look at-very.
Then there was the checked Bingham
that she wore, with white collars and
cuffs, on Friday afternoon, when there
was speaking, or to spelling school. Molly
was most fetching in that combination
Your eyes Just would wander her way.
And there was that white dress for sum-
mer Sundays and special occasions. 1t
may be doubted If Miss Morosini In her
costliest gown was half so pretty as Mol
ly Smith in her Sunday dress.
OF course Molly had advantage in
her natural coloring OF peaches and cream

health in her every movement, and the
sweet and innocent look of maiden mod

The Poor Boys Chance.

Are you poor boy!
If so, thank your lucky stars.
Poor boys succeed in life because they
must do things.
In some newspaper offices when the
editor wants to be sure that some par
ticular item will get into the forms he
writes the words Must over it. When
the makeup sees that word must"
he understands he must get that item
in, whatever he may leave out.
So over every boy who must earn his
own living the god of things as they
are has written the word must"
You see, as a rule, people do only
those things they must do.
The poor boy is compelled to work
because there is no one to do things
for him. He cannot ask some one for
dollar If he wants dollar he must
go and get II.
And in getting a dollar he has found
a way to get other dollars. He has
learned the how of must
Humanity Is so built that there must
be an urge to it. an edge over 1t.
Seem harsh, young fellow?
That is because you cannot see how
you are being developed by the COM
pulsion that is put upon you. You
do not see how initiative and force are
growing upon you. You do not see how
you are gaining ability by being forced
to acquire it.
The rich young man has no such
chance.s
Everything is done for him, not by
him. He is spoiled by being pampered.
Nobody crlticises him and he thereby
loses the sting that spurs the poor boy
He is handicapped. If he should chance
to amount to anything he is deserving
of unusual credit.
That must!
1t is the divine compulsion that makes
men what they are. Because
We learn only by doing. We grow
only by striving. We get fiber only by
working.
The boy with much money usually goes
down hill because it Is heavier than he
Is. The boy with no money goes up be-
t cause he Is heavier than his money.
The poor boy must work for a little
money in the beginning. The rich boy
doesn't like to work for little when
he has so much. So he does not begin.
The rich boy fails because he is I'M
der no benign compulsion.
The poor boy succeeds because he must
do something.
Are you young and poor?

What Is a PIE?

What Is Pie!
The piemakers of New York city-there
are a lot of them-went on a strike
few weeks ago. and there was pie void
in many stomachs.
The pie as a stable edible is an Amer
lean institution, but at its best is home
product
The really and truly pie is more than
the materials given by the recipe maker.
Beyond the ingredients named there is
that invisible thing which for want of
better term may be called
The spirit of the pie.
Do you remember the pies your mother
used to make, or. to put it rightly, can
you ever forget the pies that mother
made?
Well, those pies were all good. but
some were better than others. For in
stance
When mother was feeling good and
went to her piemaking with smiles and
song her pies were fit for angels food.
Somehow something of mothers happi-
ness and goodness and graciousness got
mixed up with the pies.
Why, you could literally taste in them
mothers gladness and charm and af-
lection.
OF course there is a whole lot in the
eater of the pie as we'll as in the making
of it. yet who ever gave recipe for
pie-eating?
To enumerate--
Pies like mother made should always
be eaten to appease vigorous appetite,
a childish hunger There should be a
receptive and grateful stomach as well
as high appreciation.
And
Just as flower of the field is the
answer which beauty makes to the WOO
ing of the soil and of the sun and of
the rain, so a plea real pie-is the an
swer which goodness makes to the wooing
of a keen hunger and a joyous appe-
tite.
An apple pie, for instance. is apples and
dough and sugar and spices-plus.
The plus. which the recipe, maker4
never get in. is the sweetness of mother
hood or wifehood or sisterhood
How, then, can any pie baked in the
motherless, wholesale way of bak-
cry every aspire to genuine piehood?
How can a hired piemaker make an in
srired pie? r. 49,.
Abas the bakery pie.1
To him who is daily served by the
real food of the gods, into whose home
baked pie Is put the exquisite flavor of
gracious womanhood, a pie Isl
A pie is the true evolution of a low
ing purpose, the full flower of a min?
istering spirit, the divine afflatus of JOY
Gus wonanhood, the luscious essence
of a real home.
That's what pie Is.
