By DOLLY DALRY,IPLE

The young wife throws away the ear. rings in the long run, declaring that she will not be the possessor of anything bought with such a price as the loss oi her husbands faith ana. confidence.
 It really is a very good story, and might have been written last week in stead of the middle of the last century as befittingsthe times and manners of the people
 Haddon Chambers wrote a play some time ago that John Drew and Isabel Irv- ing played, called The Tyranny of Tears"
 In a way it was a wonderful play; in a way it proved that weak woman who uses her weakness for power may achieve a present end, but always at the expense of the future.
 The boy who cried Wolf once toe often realized when 1t was too late how he had frustrated his only chance by | abusing the confidence of those who might have helped him. | We all know Niobe-"all tears"-and the most of us, If we would confess 1t, might | tell the same story of weakly surrender ing to such a .person. whatever that one , demanded. | A man recently said
 There isn't anything to do when a l crying for"
 That's the easiest way, certainly, but when a woman weeps It's usually a sure sign she needs a good talking to. whether her tears spring from nervousness Or mere temper.
 Some men think that REAL sorrow is | too deep for tears, but they don't know | WOMEN.
 The divine despair that Tennyson in- mortaized in his Tears, Idle Tears" would be analysed by the modern physi- elan as not despair at all, but over wrought nerves and lack of proper nour- l ishment.

 Beauty Doctors declare that there is no aid to beauty so immediate as dark room | and good cry. | When a woman has sobbed her soul out to her own dear pillow, she's usually in state of delicious exhaustion. and she can drift off into oblivion and remain there for a whole afternoon. | Then meet her at dinner. | Was there ever anything so lovely as her big, luminous eyes, her rosy cheeks and her pretty little saucy mouth? And mentally, she is as buoyant and care free as though she had never heard of worry"
 | The good cry did it. All her troubles have been washed away in the flood of those salt tears. |
 | If women would adopt dark room meth ods of weeping we would cheerfully resign ourselves to losing sight of them as often as the necessity to weep arises but in- stead of this they do not hasten to the process of accumulating their grievances and getting rid of them, all in one wild | freshet of weeping. | They try to hold out as long as possi- ble, and so undermine their youth and 1 their beauty.
 The thing is not to resist fearful wretchedness, but meet it as a necessity of nature and welcome 1t as the gentle rain from heaven. which is twice blessed Of course, one mustn't give up to tearA until everything else has been tried and exhausted
 l Nothing so undermines a mans patience as constantly weeping woman. | Remarks | You may weep for earrings and get them, but the price you pay for so vain A use as this far outbalances what you real | ly gain by doing so.
