Thinks Men Take Love
PhiIOsophically

heart-break is that there are always
plenty of women ready to help mend
the break.
heart broken man is more interest
ing that a heart-broken woman
The man looks interesting and sad.
but his health does not suffer; whereas.
the woman grieves until she loses
health and looks. Men, are afraid of
her grief, and keep away from her.
The average man is by nature cheer
full, and he has a healthy adherence OF
tears.
Pride and reserve forbid that he
should make a display of MS grief, and,
as he has to appear cheerful in public.
the habit soon grows upon him, and
he is cheerful at all times.
I have known a man to lose his wife,
and grieve for her desperately; but in
three years time he was very much
alive to the charms of other women.
I do not criticize man for mis- ability
to forget, and to be cOnsOle6; it is a
mercy that things are as they are, for
it would be a very sad world if men
suffered as women do.

1t is much preferable to be the
wronged one than the wrongdoer. The
worst thing which can happen to a
husband is to lose the love and re-
spect of good wife. That alone will
prove lash to Mis- soul as time goes
on.
But the wife who wants to plan a
revenge is not a good wife for all re-
venge belongs to the evil side of
things.
Be worthy of love and respect and
loyalty in mind and deed; be sorry for
the man who does not realize your
worth, but do not descend from your
heights of noble womanhood to plot
revenge. If you cannot live in his
atmosphere, and you are all that a
wife and mother should be. the laws
of society are formed TO protect you
and your children. Your fate is sad

However skilled and strong art thou.

1 am the master yet of my own fate
Thou canst not rob me Of my best
estate;
Though fortune, fame and friends,
yea love, should go,
Not to the dust shall my true self be
hurled,
Nor shall I meet thy worst assaults
dismayed;
When all things in the balance are
well weighed
There is but one great danger in the
world
Thou canst not force my heart to
wish thee ill
That is the only evil that can kill.

1 doAnot at all agree with MIS-. Will
cox's statement that more men, than
women, marry for love
Man, being independent, has the
power to marry to please himself. but
many times when he thinks he marries
for love it is mere physical attraction
which causes him to marry.
And no man on earth ever died for
love who married for that cause
Women undoubtedly do marry for
money, for position. for home. for fear
of being an Old maid, and other sordid

the great majority of women marry for
love, pure and simple
Mrs Wilcox says that eight mar

form than great. all compelling love

The flat contradiction of that theory
lies in the fact that the world is grow

championship swimming race for
women Is being held at COney IslanI

contestants for it. Other medals Will be
awarded for the minor events TO be held

While women never have been able to
acquire the speed in swimming that men
have the records of some of the best
female Swimmers are better than can be
made by the vast majority OF men.
Taking the records for men and wo-
men, it viii be seen that the men have
the advantage of the women by about

can. holds the worlds championship for
100 yards, having made the distance in

The Interesting Medley Race

where they thought there was no work

possible TO get an interview with an
editor, and his designs came back with
great regularity. Fortunately, he had

firm and sold a few illustrations to a
second class magazine. which paid a
miserable price for them.
At least a dozen times he got I'D from

He laughed, rolled himself a cigaret.

I miration for Ella Wheeler Wilcox
- and her profound knowledge of the
human heart; but L cannot agree with
her that men die of wounded love.
1 do not, for one, moment, deny that
men are capable on great and lasting
love- for they are.
But they take love more philosophic-
ally than woman does.
Take married people, for instance.
The husband goes off on a business
trip. He is busy and interested: he
thinks of home very often, but it is Of
the home comforts he thinks. quite as
much as his wife. He Will be glad to
get home; but, in the meantime. he is
having a very good time, thank you.
and his every thought does not hinge
on the moment of meeting
With the Wife, It's Different.
With the wife, it is quite different
matter. She misses her husband with
a passion of longing, and. from the
moment he leaves, she begins to get
ready for his return.
The home is turned upside down in
preparation; his favorite dinner is pre-
pared; her prettiest gown is donned,
and then, with happy beating heart. she
awaits the coming of ner king.

me and 1 really could not leave her so

l were their own child
Two more weeks passed. Paul was
always home before Helen and always
had a flower, some candy or other
little trifle for her. She told about her
experiences, that she had been shop
ping, or buying toys for Marguerite and
their nice walks, and while Paul told
of his work and prospects. Thus he
lied to her every day and the thought
of what she would say when she found
out, worried him more and more.
One day as he was loading boxes as
usual, a girl came rushing down from
one of the upper floors.
Have you got a handkerchief she
said. One of the girls has got a bad
cut in her hand"
He gave her clean fresh ironed
handkerchief with a blue border which
Helen mad given him in the morning.
An hour later he had forgotten about it.
In the evening as ne came home he
found a letter and his fingers trembled
when he saw it was from 'L'illustra-
tiOn," the magazine to which he had
sent a selection of his best drawings.
He tore the envelope open and read:
Your drawings are just the kind we
are looking Cor. If you want to sign a
contract with us kindly call at this Of
flee tomorrow and oblige.
Yours very truly,
Henri Verlaine.
He had barely finished reading the
letter when he heard Helen coming. He
ran to the door and waving the letter
in the air he cried:
Helen Helen! 1t is really true now.

Woman's power of missing and long

n Ellen came rushing into the little
studio, breathless from running
up the many flights of stairs, and
threw ner arms around the neck of the
young man who was sitting at his easel
'Oh, Paul, PAUL." she cried. What
do you think? 1 have goti a position
now. L begin tomorrow"
Dubois laid aside his brush and
looked at her.
"A position? What do you mean,
Helen, Dear?"
'If you think 1 am going to sit

That will help us along nicely until

ciate your work"
PauTs eyes grew misty as he kissed
her.
But I can't allow you TO work,
Helen. We will find some way of
managing it."
Now do be sensible, Paul." she
begged, the people seem to kind and
the little girl took me right away. And
really, 1t Is not like work. 1 am just
to walk with ner in the park 1t will

1T is the principle of the thing,

his throat 1T is the principle. The

here while you go out to work"
Stop, Paul she said and laid her

Il am not so sure of being a genius
any more, darling. 1 am afraid you
are the only one to think so now But

The next morning she left with a

ebEE can a woman punish a

devotion and affection with
neglect and unfaithfulness? asks an
unhappy wife.
The sooner human beings and ma
lions modify their ideas of punishment
and increase their methods of proven
ton of wrongdoing the better for the
world.
The human being who violates
principle must find his own punish
ment sooner or later if left to work
out his destiny. OF course, the dan
ferrous criminal must be restricted; but
the people who have been wronged,
and who cry for vengeance and ask
for advice in connecting suitable pun
ishments for the offender, are making
more serious trouble for themselves
unconsciously than any which another
has brought upon them.
It. is a painful thing to be wronged
and abused by one we love It is a
more terrible thing to wish harm. or
suffering to any one. To be sorry for
the wrOngdoer, to realize how abso-
lutely he is destroying his own future
development and cheating himself of
the best happiness life can offer, and
to ask for guidance and direction in
helping to change his course-that is
the only attitude to take toward one
who has wronged US. The moment we
begin to plan a revenge we begin TO
degenerate.
We harm ourselves and commit NOR
al suicide, Just as sure as the sunset
brings darkness, so surely the husband
who wrongs and neglects a good wife
