which build and construct the moral
nature, and Obliterate to such degree
as is possible unhappy and depressing
memories.
Nature. as well as society. has made
its different laws for men and women
in matters Of morals
A man easily fOrgets his lapses from
virtue; they slip away, perhaps no
farther than the subcOnsciOus mind,
but far enough to give him a very
comfortable feeling and to allow him
to accept all faTOrs from good wOm-
en- with no sense Of a troubled con-
science.
Even the favor Of a good girls love
and the bestOwal of her hand and
heart he takes without a Qualm.
Possibly this is because he has been
educated from time immemOrial TO
think he has a right to do as he
pleases, and because he knows women
have been educated to accept his mis-
deeds as trivial faults, and to for
give them before he asks for for
giveness. Woman meanwhile does not
forget her mistakes. At least her one
mistake. woman excuses herselL
for every other fault but the one. She
ignores her own violent temper, ner
tendency to talk scandal and inJure
others by her enviOus speech, her sins
of extravaganza and disorder, her lack
of loyalty, and her selfishness in the
small things which make daily living
faults she denies or fOrgets. But she
never forgets her having erred IN over
stepping the mark where prudence
ends and indiscretiOn begins.
Feminine Tendency to Dwell on Past.
Therefore, il is difficult TO promise
any woman real happiness after a
misstep because of this feminine tend
ency to dwell on the errors Of the
past.
So far as keeping her secret from
the man she may marry, she must
argue that out according to her own
dictates Of conscience She may
argue that her past belongs to her
self; that she is better than any man
in her conduct; that she has not erred
in any degree as the man has erred;
that she does not ask him for de-
tailed story Of his past, and that he
has no right to ask her.
But the old laws Of the world viii
confront her possibly some day A
story may come to her ears regarding
the past of her husband. She will
turn a deaf ear or make light Of It.
Even il she questions him and he con-
fesses it is true she Will soon ignore
it. But if the husband hear a sim
liar story regarding her past, and II
he questions her, he will not make
light of it.
Men Growing Liberal Toward Women.
All this she must take into consid-
Grafton before she decides upon her
course of action.
There are, every year, more and
more men who marry girls with
past and who know il and cOndone It.
Men are growing more liberal; they
are realizing that women are only hu-
man like themselves, and they are be-
ginning to understand that one error,
caused by misplaced affection and lack
of knowledge Of the laws of life, and
lack of the right instruction from
sensible mother, does not mean that
girl is bad or wicked or unworthy Of
a mans trust and confidence.
Let this unhappy young woman live
