" HE heart of every woman in the
world Graves sentiment and ro-
- nance It isn't enough for her to
know, badly and abstractly, that her
husband loves her. She wants to have
his affection for her manifest itself in
a thousand little delicate, tender, po-
etic ways
In a word, she is never satisfied with
plain bread and butter. She wants cake,
and she wants frosting OF her cake. Not
having much of a sweet tooth himself,
man can never understand this femi-
nine popularity. Why, in heavens
name, he asks himself, should a woman
fay such stress on the observance OF
dinky little anniversaries? Why should
her eyes fill up with happy tears, and
her face absolutely grow young again,
when he brings her bunch Of roses
on her birthday, while she receives the
price Of a new cooking stove without
any emotion whatever Funny things,
women. And all Of them little bug
house, even the most sensible.
However foolish to a mans eyes it
may be for a woman to hunger as long
as she lives for the little attentions
that show that her husband is still
lover, to the woman it never ceases to
be a subject of vital moment, and
nothing really goes farther to make

the little sentimentalities Of life.
Therefore it becomes an importass
question as to how a wife shall secure
herself in the halo OF romance that
keeps marriage glorified.
Her asTan of Sentiment"
The other day heard an interesting
discussion Of this subject among three
married women. One Of the women had
been lucky enough to draw that matri-
monia1 prize, a man Of exquisite SYM
pathies and understanding. what the
old-fashioned novelists used TO call "a
young fellow, just getting a good start
In life. and he and his pretty wife have
not yet very much of this worlds goods
OF bless themselves with, but the hus
band is continually devising little I'M
expected treats for his wife, and none
of their fete days-her birthday, or
Christmas, or the anniversary of the
day they met, the day they became en-
gagged, or the greatest day of all, the
day they were married-ever goes by
without some token Of recognition
from him.
And the beautiful part of it al is,
said this happy wife, in telling of 1t,
that the money for the things he gives
me always represents some special out
side work some labor of love that he
does just for me, and that's what
makes the cheapest trinket more in my
eyes than if it were a diamond tiara
that he just had to draw a check
for"
MY husband" said the second wo-
man, who is also a young woman, lis
as good a fellow as ever lived, and
very fond Of me, but he is practical,
unromantic sort of man. very much
absorbed in his business and If I'd let
him he would degenerate into the dry
as-dust kind of a husband, who thinks
he has done his full duty by his wife
when he pays her bills.
She Trained Him.
Fortunately, L had enough sense to
see that, and to realize that you can
cultivate sentiment in a man just as
you can flowers in a garden, and that
