Jealousy Is Dangerous
The Boy or Girl Who Permits 1t to
Enter Their Existence Must
Suffer For 1t.
By Beatrice Fairfax
q JEALOUSY" some one once wis

g = JEALOUSY" some one once wisely
wrote, 'fs said to be the Off
spring Of love. Yet unless the
parent make haste to strangle the child
the child will not rest till it hath poi
soned the parent"
The heart Of a man and the heart OF
a maid are capricious things. They
meet; they love; with the confession Of
love there is a profession Of faith.
You cannot make me Jealous" one
says TO the other in the few intervals
the sweet silence Of love making per
mits for rational conversation, be
cause 1 have faith If you"
And I in you says the other
The days go by, their profession OF
faith is perhaps two weeks old. He
sees Her walking on the streets with
Another. and Another, so capitalized,
always means one of his own sex
He grows hot and cold with wrath.
He does not consider that the man-may
have OTertaken her at the last corner,
and viii leave her at the next. He
swells small things to great" and
loses all reason
1t was not an accident-it was an
appointment She is falsei All girls are
false! He has been duped by a girl;
Thus he reasons, OF. rather. concludes
without reasoning, and he StraightWay
She Is Shocked.
Her faith in their mutual profession
had been so pretty, so Tar above all
that is petty and unjust. that she is
shocked and hurt She discovers that
II is not a god she loves, but an
ordinary, suspicious man.
Perhaps she is the first to be
touched with green eyes. Maybe they
go to a dance, and he dances with an
other girl too often to please her. She
accuses him on the way home Of loving
the other girl He is amused at her
Jealousy, taking IT as proof that she
loves him He is also flattered-
But whichever IT is that first sees the
other through green eyes this is the
result: Faith has been shattered There
enters into their love an element of
suspicion, and Of all emotions the hui
man heart is heir to suspicion is the
hardest 70 overcome, and it is never
killed
So ask Of the young men and young
women who come Y me with their tales
of Jealousy that they be sure of them
selves Perhaps their jealousy is not
the offspring of love. but the child of
pride. 1t hurts to see one they had
OF friendliness for another, and jeal-
OuSy is aroused
Fear, Not Love.
Or, more often than one ever admits,
they are controlled by the same passion
that led 'the dog in the manger to dis
pute possession with the COW. He did
not want the hay for himself. but he
didn't want any one else to have it.
Many Of the authors Of these letters,
if honest. will confess that it is not
love for the object which has aroused
their Jealousy. but the fear that some
one else may take possession.
But whatever the sentiment at the
foundation of jealousy, beware of it. To
every one who is experiencing its
pangs. make this plea: Have faith,
Do not be unreasOning or unreasOn-
able Do not jump at conclusions Do
not reach a verdict without fair trial
If lover strays, an. attitude Of
Indifference, or pleased interest, viii
bring that lover back. where re-
prOaches would drive away.
Give a lover the right to look at 9TH
ers. and all desire to look will cease.
If you would have love stay treat it
well, remembering always that unless
one make haste to strange jealousy,
jealousy viii poison love"
