The Man Who Is Kept
Dangling
By BEATRICE FAIRFAX.

TT sometimes happens that girl
accepts man when he pro-
poses with the underlined and
unexpressed determination not to
marry him.
She wants the joy of an engage
ment. She wants to be adored, to
be entertained. to be loved. She
likes no one better than this man.
but doesn't like him as much as
she likes the freedom of girlhood.
Then again it happens that girl
refuses a man. but does it in such
way that he has hopes of event
ually winning her.
Perhaps she intends to accept
him eventually. Perhaps she thinks
to keep a hold on him till she finds
a man who suits her better.
Not a kind thing to say of a girl,
but. admitting all their sweetness
and attractiveness, there are girls
of whom the truth is not kind
"Despondent" who writes the fol-
lowing letter, seems to be in a class
of men whom we will call Dan
glers." The girl keeps him dang
ling around her; what her final in
tentions are regarding him no one
knows
one can only turn to his own
knowledge OF women and guess.

What / don't understand is that
she writes such nice letters to me

ly doesn't care for me at all

alone entirely
And that is what she should do.
He would then stand better
chance of forgetting her and couid
no longer be classed among those
unhappy, tormented men who are
known as DANGERS
"Despondent" should make the
girl one more proposal. and tell her
when he makes it that 1t will be

Distressing for
Wife to Find.

! can conceive Of nothing else so
terrible for a wife to have to en-
dure as to feel that her companion

TO observe that he looks at her with
half-concealed hatred and TO know
that his one idea of happiness is

be the bread she eats and wet with
tears her pillow
Women sometimes have enough
courageous hypocrisy to keep up
the pretense of loving husbands OF
whom they have tired and OF
whom they would gladly be rid.

tells her of 1t in a thousand ways
that are like SO many dagger
thrusts through her heart
Therefore the woman whose hus
band wants to go is wise to let him
go. She is thousand times hap
pier without him than she is with
him. To hold on to a mans body
because the law has given you the
right to. after his soul is gone. is
like holding on to a corpse after
life has fed Better bury it and
plant fresh interest above it,
In the second place, I would let
a husband that wanted to leave me
so. because he has already gone,
anyway Love is the champion
Jail breaker of the universe. No
letters have ever been woven that
can bind It. no handouts made that
it could not slip, no lock construct
ed that it can not pick.
There is this strange thing about
love that the more desperately we
hold on to it, the more slippery it
becomes and the more eager to get
away from us Moreover, observa-
ton shows that the best loved
wives are not the ones VINO are
most devoted and faithful to their
husbands but the women who are
careless and Indifferent. The wives
whose husbands stay lovers to the
end are invariably those eel-llke
ladies Of whom their Johns are
never certain, and who have 10 be

Would Tell Him Co."
Then He'd Come Back.

In the third place, If ] were mar
ried to a man who had wearied of
me and matrimony. | should say,
GO. and luck go with YOU" be-
cause | should know that the surest
way to get him back would be to
expedite his departure
To every married person. male
and female. with drop of red
blood in their veins. there comes
times of revolt against matrimony,
when they can see in 1t nothing
but prison. and hear nothing but
the jingle Of the chains that unite
TO those whom at the minute they
hate and loathe with all their souls.
They can see in the party of the
other part nothing but faults. They
can perceive in marriage nothing
but a bondage crueler than death.
At such a crisis man contrasts
his dull, monotonous domestic life
with thar Of his bachelor friends,
and he is filled with a mad longing
for freedom 1t seems to him that
1t would be Paradise itself TO be
free of wife, and children, and
home, and to be able to come and
go as he pleased. without anybody
sitting up for him of a night and
reading the riot act to him when
he got in late.
The only remedy for this state OF
mind is to try freedom, and so
when a wife discovers that matri-
mony has gotten on to her hus-
bands nerves she should not only
let him go but hurry him off into
the pastures that he thinks look so
inviting For he win discover to
his surprise that matrimony units
a man for being single. He will
discover that he can't drink as
much as he used TO without having
a head next morning: that his
game Of poker has fallen off. and
that he has fallen into the slipper,
and paper and pipe habit of an
evening without his knowing it,

w THAT would you do II Won
wv were a woman and had
husband who came to you
and told you that he was tired of
you and the baby. and bored to
death with domesticity and wanted
you to let him go?
Would you hang on to his coat
tabs with all your strength or
would you open the door and shoe
him out?
That's the question that one of
my correspondents asked me to help
her decide She says that her hus-
band is good man, who has al
ways been a kind husband and ia
Their and that she loves him dear
ly. But somehow or other mat
rimony has paled upon his palate
and she no longer interests him
and he yearns irresistibly for his
old bachelor joys, and he says that
If she will only give him back his
freedom that he will provide am
ply for her and the child.
And the poor bewildered wife. to
whom this strange proposition has
been made, doesn't know what to
DO.
II it were l, | should speed the
parting guest and facilitate his de
parture And I'd do it so cheerful
ly that | would keep him guessing
for the next six months I should
say to such a husband: Take your
clothes and go, and go quickly"
And | would do this for three good
reasons.
First. because there is no other
position in the world SO humiliat-
ing as for wife to know that she
is holding her husband by a legal
bond and not by a tie of Affection
that he feels that his home is
prison that he leaves with JOY of a
morning and comes back to with
loathing of an evening. and that the
marriage tie to him is nothing but
fetter that chafes him every min
ute of his life
Atlanta Georgian. [volume] (Atlanta, Ga.) 1912-1939, 1912-07-03

she keeps him nailed to his hearth
stone against his will. Her only
chance to hold him is to let him go
so willingly that she will pique his
self-love and arouse his jealousy
by the thought that if she hadn't
been as tired of him as he was of
her and perhaps had her eye on
somebody else, she would have put
up more objection to his departure.
Men always want the women who
don't want them, which is little

FREE PILLS
 DID THE WORK
If They Are to Be Taken at All It Should Be as a Balanced Ration and Not as a Sole Diet, Especially by Children

Pills, like religion and politics. are fine thing no doubt if one does not work the game too strong, or to the exclusion of other subjects of neces- sary human consideration. Children who have not reached the age of discretion, are just as apt to go the limit on pills as their elders are on the other subjects when they become over enthusiastic and with children the deleterious effect is more inn mediately operative.
 It was so in the case of a number o1 children on West Adams street yesterday who rcgaled themselves to fuIlness on pills advertised as d specific for kidney trouble but which to a child who cannot read. have all the innocent outward appearance of candy, when put up in attractive lit tie sample boxes. The result was that there were a lot of sick babies or West Adams street last night and the real doctors were called in to alleviate the pains produced by over indulgence in mail order medicine
 It chanced that some one who feels it his duty to head off the ravages of kidney trouble among the popu- lace. yesterday distributed sample boxes of these pills along that street and probably many others more or less of them falling into the hands of young children without the knowI- edge of their parents. The youngsters greeted the distributor as d summer time santa Claus and proceeded to devour his candy" to their later dis tTess.
 It is believed there is an ordinances covering the promiscuous distribution or medicine samples. IT there isn't there should be, and if there is it should be needed by the medicine men or parents who desire to bring their offspring t. maturity will have to keep them in bed until they learn to read and write. or chain them to posts in the back yard.

MIR. BONSAL IN TOWN.
News ana RumOrs About the South
carolina Western Railway Exten-
sion SOuthward ImmcdiateIy-
Destination Not Stated.

Mr.. w. r. Bonsal, president Of the
South Carolina Western Railway. is
mere for the purpose Of closing up the
two or three rights Of way contracts
mat have been hanging fire on the
line from Bishopville, in consauence
OF the property owners insisting that
conditions not customary be inserted
in the contracts. The grading is not
being delayed by these unadiusted
matters, which are mere matters Of
detail, and the work on the road is
being pushed rapidly to completion.
There are only a few land owners
VINO have refused to agree to terms
for the right Of way through their
property and these rights of way will!
be secured by condemnation proceed
ings which have been instituted.
While here Mr.. Bonsal looked over
the proposed route through the city
from the terminal Southwark and
requested the committee to use all
dispatch possible in securing this re-
quired right-of-way in the city and
two miles south beyond the city linn
its, as the same force now working
on the road north Of the city would
probably be put on the extension south
ward as soon as the grading into
town is completed within the next
few weeks. Owing to the inflated
valuation some property owners have
placed on their land since the prelim-
mary survey was made through it,
there Is the probability of another
line out the city being surveyed. The
committee representing the CITY Of
Sumter and having the securing Of
the rights-of-way in charge, have only
a limited amount of money in hand
and 1t is impossible to pay exorbi-
tant prices for rghts-of-way They
cannot pay the price of a whole farm
for narrow strip trough it, and if a
hold-up is attempted by land owners
the line out Of town will be Relocated
there being several alternative routes
that are equally as desirable. While
the statement is not authoritative it is
almost certain that one or more ad-
ditional surveys will be made Of the
line out Of the city before the effor.
is made to secure the right-of-way.
