violin he always carried with him
when he travelled, because often
in hotels and elsewhere he ran
across artists of ability. And 1t
gave him comfortable feeling to
have these people play on that
priceless fiddle and know that 1t

1 began to talk to him about it..
He wouldn't listen to me. Any

there. And / know he thought
he could win her for his wife just
through being the owner of that
magnificent fiddle. He wouldn't

THE greatest thing in the
world Is the love of man and
woman. The love of the truly
mated is the greatest love in the
world-greater by far than moth
er love. The love of a mother for
her child is a natural passion
the child is part of her flesh and
blood-but the love of a woman
for man is wonderful, unknow-

There were pictures every

woman reclining upon wide, fur
covered couch. The beauty of
her barred bosom was half-exposed,
as she lay with her arms beneath
her head. At the foot of the
couch knelt the figure of a man,
and upon his face the light of a
great love was aglow. 1t was
love, face to face with the joy of
ltS passion.
Beneath the picture sat a
woman with great hungry eyes.
All of her young life had been
passed in an environment that
would have warped the woman
hood in a soul less pure. Her
eyes were fixed upon the picture.
Was it herself portrayed there
that wonderful creature with the
love haze about her? Surely love
was all. Suddenly from out of

Dear Miss Grey: Has my hus-
band realized for me the one big
thing required of husband?
will tell you first what / would
ask, then what l have. First, !
would ask that my husband love
me as well as himself, that he try
to make our home happy and take
pride enough in his wife to dress
her as we'll as he can afford. He
Should take her out once or twice
a week; go to church, or, at least,
allow her to go; be a sympathetic
friend, to whom she may tell her
plans, hopes and aspirations; try
to make her life pleasant as we'll
as his own; give up once in a
while some small comfort to
please her.
My husband loves me, oh, yes,
but it is a selfish love. l am not
beautiful, nor even pretty; there
is no "nameless charm" about me
that compels everyone to love me.
l am rather homely than other
wise. My health has never been
good. l am fretful, / know, and
often very disagreeable. Still, he
is jealous. and afraid someone
else will want me, and doesn't
want me to have any friends, only
old people with one foot in the
grave"
Before l was married l loved to
dance. l have never danced but
once since, and 1 have been mar
ried the bakers, dozen of years.
Dancing looks foolish to him. He
doesn't care for socials or lodge
entertainments, therefore l never
go to anything of that kind any
more. He doesn't care for com
pany, doesn't like to go to a.
friends home or have them come
to his. If 1 have a lady friend
who calls on me or l on her, "she
is fast" or we are getting too
thick. If she calls when he is at
home he will say "how do you do"
pick up book and scowl if we
talk in the same room. If we
go to another room we have "se-
crets" and the entire converse
ton must be repeated to him. He
will very seldom "dress up on
Sunday or in the evening. He
has never bought me but one
dress. That cost him IS; and 50
was a big price for a hat. Shoes
at $50 were good enough. He
saved money on $1.25 per day;
now he gets So, and he still saves
it.
When the clothes I had when |
was married all gave out 1 went
to work in a factory for four
years, going at in the morning,
quitting at IL to wal khome 10
blocks and cook a warm dinner.
then going back at 1 o'clock to
work till 5 or $50; coming home
again to cook supper and do up
my own housework, often work
ing until $3.50 in the kitchen
alone. while he sat by the fire and
rested. At the end of four years
my health gave out. had 10
quit.
The money I earned went for
furniture and just enough
clothes to make me look respect
able. He didn't want me to buy
either. why couldn't / put my
money in the bank instead of
