man would be any more satisfied to
look at the same pretty face, for 30
or 40 years of a stretch of matri
mony, than he would be interested
in looking at the same pretty pic
ture unless there was sympathy
and intelligence, and love to back
up the good looks.
And these qualities the beauties
seldom have. Nature holds the
scales pretty evenly and gives a
squarer deal than we think, and
when she is prodigal in adorning
the outside Of a woman, she Is
mighty apt to scrimp on the inside
In brains and heart. Moreover, the
beauty from the very adulation she
receives is made selfish, and con-
ceited and these qualities are not
the attributes that either win love
or hold it.
Goodness knows. matrimony is a
risky enough proposition as 1t is,
but if men really cared for nothing
but beauty in women, 1t would be
desperate game in which they
would be bound to lose out. For
the one certain thing in life is that
. time will dull the brightest eyes,
and silver the blacklist tresses, and
fade the roses on the loveliast
cheeks, and turn the most willowy
figure into the likeness of feather
bed or a telephone post.
What Men Marry For.
What is to become of the holy
estate then? Are we to have pro-
gressive matrimony, old wives trad
ed for new? Or husbands who are
devotees of beauty, wailing and
gnashing their teeth because there
is a homely old face across the
hearthstone instead of a fresh fair
one?
Nothing of the sort happens, ex-
cept in rare cases, because the man
didn't marry for beauty in the first
place, but for something better
than beauty and more lasting. He
married for companionship. for
fidelity, for devotion, and they have
not persisted with the years, but
grown and strengthened.
Women oyervalue beauty and put
too much stress upon mems theo-
retical devotion to it, and they wor-
~ themSelves unduly trying to be
beautiful, though ugly To the
right sort of a man his fat, homely
old wife, who has fried out her
complexion over the kitchen stove

and made knots on her hands

DOROTHY DIX.

the poet says. The proof of the
pudding is in the eating, however,
and it is Observable that when a
man goes to pick out a wife he al
most invariably passes by the
Queen Rose of the rosebud garden
Of girls, and picks out a modest
and demure little violet at whom
nobody would ever take a second
look
If you doubt this assertion, take
a look around at the married wom-
en- of your acquaintance, not one Of
whom would ever take a blue rib
BON in a beauty show. Further
more, it is a notorious fact that
great beauties seldom marry well.
Men admire them abstractly, but
they don't personally desire to pos

of her eyes, but unless she has got

The late John Marshall Harlan
for nearly thirty years a justice
of the United States supreme court
left an estate valued at less than
$500. After his long life of use
fitness to his fellow men that pow
erty is higher distinction than the
wealth of a Rockefeller or a Carne-
gle, II was not for lack OF oppor-
tunities that Justice Harlan was
poor. He came from distinguished
family in easy circumstances, his
father having been attorney gen
eral OF Kentucky and lawyer of ma
tionai fame. The son was a colonel
in the Union army, a lawyer, a coun-
ty Judge and also attorney general
of Kentucky. He was an unsuccess-
full candidate for congress and for
governor. He was member Of the
electoral commission in 1876 and
was appointed to the United States
supreme bench the next year. At
that time he was forty-four years
old.
Now 1t is apparent that aside
from his judicial service lawyer Of
such prominence might easily haVa
amassed something of fortune be-
fore the age Of forty-four, or might,
that is, il his bent had been for
money getting. From his career il
may be assumed that he was man
of public Spirit that, like Lincoln,
he kept himself poor by helping his
party and the principles in which
he believed.
After his elevation to the supreme
bench he gave more than one-third
of century to his country, that
does not remunerate any of her SER
wants sufficiently to enable them to
grow rich.

Ian. with his $2,500 estate, shines
