BY ADA PATTERSON.

.\N7HEN woman said recently that
w woman is the first to fall in
love. there was a stir of sur
prise and interest in the mems camp.
Amused silence in the wOmen's. The
women had known it all the time. But
they hadn't chosen to take the men
into their confidence in the matter
They never will so choose, not at least,
in the case Of the men in whom they
have special interest. those men who
are trying to win them-trying.
A man wonders blindly when he will
marry. He may spare himself the
trouble Of guessing. He will marry
when the girl who has made up her
mind to marry him chooses A few
dreamy eyed persons still talk about
fate and in fancy see a grave faced
woman spinning and weaving the web
of their future. Bosh, a mans fate
is determined by quite a different per-
son. a woman not grave of face but
merry, who weaves his future-not by a
spindle. but with a perfumed fan. Some
one dimly feeling this truth long ago
voiced it by naming the girl he was to
marry a mans fate"
She is his fate" because she has
resolved to marry him. What he wishes
is a matter of little moment. He must
change his wishes and she sees to it
that he does.
A woman fails in love first because
she has keener perceptions than mans.
Despite all the ISLANDERS of all the men
of all the ages. women know what they
want and know it sooner than a man
does.
When they meet the man they would
apparent to them, though not to the
men. A woman has a liveler magma
ton than a man has. IF, when a man
has twice danced with a girl, 1t were
suggested to him that he picture her as
his wife, he would laugh at the per
son who suggested it and call him an
idiot. The girl who with such seeming
Indifference, floats about the room in his
arms, not only has a mental picture of
herself as the mistress of their home,
but has already furnished all the down
stairs rooms and decided what flowers
shall grow on the lawn.
Therein is the explanation for what
has been falsely termed womans
ickleness. Woman Is not tickle. She
loves truly and ardently for a while,
but grows tired Of waiting for the slow
creature with cumbersome mental pro-
cesses TO overtake her. In the love

is Love, that IS all she asks.

But l am glad he. spent the time in
this way. 1t will show the girl that
time is no object when finding favor
in her eyes is at stake.
Neither is any effort wasted that is
spent in pleasing her. He wrote that
poem by the sweat of his brow, and d
picture of him hunting for words that
rhymed and pursuing that hunt labo
riously and without complaint, makes d
vision that will always stand out, bright
and glorifed in her memory.
There may be those who will take
such a poem apart and dissect it, ind

and meter. But never among that mum

whom such a poem is addressed.
