A woman complains to me that she is
very miserable because the man with
whom she is in love sympathizes with
every woman that he sees who is in dis
tress and tries to help her. My corre-
spondent considers this grievous fault
in the man and asks II can tell her
how she can cure him of 1t.
A fault for a man TO be sorry for a
woman in trouble? Want to break him
Of IT? Want to change him?
Why, womap give. pluck the mote
out OF your own eyes, so that you can
see that you have got a gentle, chival-
rous knight for a lover. and go down
on your knees and thank God for your
luck.
A man who sympathizes with every
woman he sees in trouble, whose heart
melts in him at the sight of every gray
headed old woman he sees staggering
along the street under her heavy burden
Of sweat-shop work; whose hand goes out
instinctively to lift the burden of every
tired woman he meets; who pities the
frail little white-faced girl who works
next to him and helps her with her tasks
that man is one OF natures noblemen,
and happy and fortunate is the woman
who gets him for a husband
For PHYS sake for your own sake,
don't try to break him OF the habit Of
sympathizing with women; for the time
Will come. when you win need, If you

and sympathy that any man can pos

any sbare in It. Shs+ is a foolish femi-
nine rAonopolist, who believes she can
establish such a copper riveted trust on
a mans heart that he will be oblivious
to the fact that there's another petticoat
on earth.
There are plenty of women like that.
They demand to be all in all to a man.
They are not satisfied with being his best
beloved. the one he has chosen from out
Of all the world for his wife. They are
miserable II he even notices another
woman, IL he Is sorry for woman who
weeps, or glad with one who rejoices.
Before they are married they go into
mysteries IL the man Is civil to any
woman whom he happens to meet. After
they are married they treat their hus-
bands to certain lect 1res II the poor man
so much as pays another woman a COM
pliment.
And inasmuch as In the ordinary course
of life and business mNn and women are
thrown constantly together, they force
their husbands to become liars and de-
ceiyers, for no man is going to tell the
truth about the women he sees IL he
knows 1t is going to precipitate a domes-
tic storm.
AS a plain. working proposition, any
woman may write Il down in her little
book that no one WOMAN can possibly
be everything to a man, even to her own
husband She can't take him on to a
desert isle, where she would be the only
woman. He would get so tired Of her he
would drown himself to get rid Of her If
she did so sequester him.

Certainly, no woman can choose a

love than by always nagging a man
about other women. or by showing her
self so small of SOUL and so little worthy
of a generous heart as to begrudge even
the sympathy that a chivalrOus man
shows to the weak and Helpless Of her
;own sex.
For my part. 1 think the most beauti-
