HOW NATURE LEADS US ON
After the courtship Dreams With
Their Bright Hues Come the
Babies Future Dreams.

Love is an illusion. Some seem to
take 1t as bitter thing that after the
honeymoon the married pair settle
down to the humdrum Of everyday
ness. But, in the first place, they
never quite become entirely disillu
stoned. The stain of the rainbow lin
gers in the average marriage, and in
the second place, even if this illusion
passes, another comes, for there are
the children, and lover and lass who
once dreamed of each other now are
father and mother and must dream Of
the babies future.
Illusions are Natures device for get.
ting things done. That is why she
fills young men so full of illusions as
to their own power. Heaven help US
IL young people knew precisely what
they could do! They would do moth.
Ing at all.
And II girls knew just what mar
rage was going to be, and all their
future down to the grave, they would
never marry. Illusions are Natures
bait.
Life itself is progressive Illusion:
'Maia" the Hindus call It,
And we are not poor dupes. Nature
Is not cheating us, and sneering at us
the while. She is leading us on in
love, as we lead our little children

Opaque Windows.

The building contractor let loose
some of his most emphatic phrasei
when he found that the man who had
been hired to daub whiting all over the
windows had not half done the job.
That man doesn't seem to under
stand what the windows In half-f1n

said. I'VE don't plaster them over
with chalk to prevent the public from
seeing the unfinished condition of the
interior, but to keep the workmeI
from battering out the glass. Trans
parent glass looks just about as trans
parent as air to the man who is NOV
