and. if you persevere. you will add
every pound you need to give the right
symmetry to one of your height.
No girl would object to taking such
course, which. in addition to improving
her looks, would be of nestimable ben
eft to her health. Undoubtedly in that
controlling passion where all women
have to please the men they love this
poor girl has bemoaned her excessive
weight many times
But this is also true: I doubt if It
has occurred to her that her lover is a
pound too light
When women love- they love beyond
criticism. Had her friends laughed at
her for loving man so thin, her love
would have leaped up in an angry fame
The maternal instinct. which is the
controlling motive in every wornan's
love. would have prompted her to
spring to his defense, and she would.
have contended with all the might of
offended love that his weight was right
to an ounce. she would not have it
changed fraction of a pound, and
would affirm that, in comparison with
him, all other men are gross and beefy.
No furniture Husbands"
That is the difference between the
love of man and the love Of a woman.
Had Charles Lamb investigated further
he might have added that there are no
such creatures as furniture husbands"
No woman ever selected a husband
because he would look well at the head
of table, or match the paper on her
parlor wall.
This girl who weighs too much will
feel hurt if you suggest her weight
doesn't suit you. Don't do 1t!
Leave the matter of her weight out
of the question of your own. You have
no right to complain she is an ounce
| too light! Take a course in physical
| culture and stick to it faithfully. When
you have reached the desired figure on
the scales, tell her so.
Love is quick to take a suggestion,
and l do not doubt for moment that
/! she will be quick to respond. She will
tell you. without any further intina-
ton from you. that If physical culture
does so much for you. it will do as
much for her.
And she will take It as a means Of
losing what you are trying to gain.
| But, whatever you do, beg Of you
| that YOU show yourself to be so much
of a man your friends will not dare to
| select you a furniture wife" The hus-
band of a furniture wife" misses life's
| greatest Joy, and gets Just what he
deserves.

Robert summoned the cab. placing

But she spoke sympathetically chiding
herself inwardly for her narrow and
petty thoughts
You must be lonely indeed But for
my boy and girl l would often find life

Then she asked him if he would mind
telling her about himself his work and
his interest. He, like all men and most
women, liked to talk of himself and his
affairs, and before long he was speak

that in conversing of her to another
woman he was making some sort of
amends for having forgotten her for
most Of the evening. Beatrice let him
talk on; in fact, she forced herself to
encourage him to do so. When at last
he stopped as they neared her door, she
thanked him for his confidence

reminded him so we can sympathize
