pleasures, the parent who forgets the
! joys of youth, all these are guilty of
no crime which can be reached by
any law save that of inevitable con-
| sequences. s-.
| The man who either makes his wife
a servant or dependent is far from
| sowing the seeds of happiness. He
| VIII live to tired, afmless and prob
ably loveless old age He will not
know perhaps, why his life is so gray
and sad colored. He will not realize
| that he has forgotten at one import
| ant time the things which now crowd
! his memory full to running over. He
/ forgot to love his wife in the truest
sense when he had the chance and
now it is too late. She has grown
so accustomed to seeking her happi-
! ness in the children, or in bridge. or.
| perhaps, in the pet dog that he is
outside of her life. She was once
| willing and anxious to share his life in
| It's every detail, but she found the
| door of confidence shut in her face
and so, being of the sex which takes
! the happiness which it can get when
IT cannot get the happiness it wants,
| she has grown accustomed to doing
without him save as a necessary APP
1 pendage to q respectable household.
! The man who complains that lie is
merely the pocketbook of the family
has forgotten some of the details of
! the way i'm which he made himself
dictator of the exchequer He has
forgotten the pride he took in making
his wife come to him for money in
the early days He has forgotten
how he kept the details of his business
jealousy hidden from her eyes There
was time when she was interested
i in every detail, but he shut her out,
and she grew so accustomed to seek
ing the sunny side of the wall which
he built between them that she has
almost persuaded herself that ii has
but one side. But the man is lonely
in his old age-knowing that the wall
is there.
/ The woman who harnesses her hus-
band with the petty details of her
daily round Is only keeping them con-
stantly in mind while making his life
more difficult A woman has a right
/ to consult her husband where there
is any problem which his view may
help to a solution, but sheN has no
right to nag and harrass him with
all the petty details of life which
Is at best rather narrow. When hus-
band and wife meet there should be
an effort on the side of each to make
the other enjoy the intercourse
The trouble with most of us is that
we forget to remember, as the Irish
man says. We grow accustomed to
even love until it loses its brightness
and beauty.
We forget to be kind. We FORGET
all the promises of days long past, the
memory of which fingers with the one
who grieves at the forgetting Of the
other.
1t is joke that men forget ami
versaries and days of past, but dear,
delights. Why should it be funny
| it is a crime against love. II am
too busy for such nonsense" the man
will say petulantly.
Too busy to remember love and to
be kind! Is it any wonder that the
woman in the case grows bitter?
Brush up your memories. If you do
forget it will be forgiven you if you
do not shelter yourself behind that
unforgiveable excuse. Say your part
ner was taken with apoplexy, or that
you had remembered and ordered a
new hat, but it had not been COM
pleted. or any old thing like that, but
never-never say you forgot 1t is
the unforgiveable crime against love
