Or he would say, II love her be-
cause her eyes mist over with compre-
hension and sympathy at a tender
passage in a book, or a pathetic scene

is little and weak, and clings to me
like a trusting child" Or, II love her
because she always sees the points in
my stories. and laughs at my jokes,
and is the only woman l ever met that
had intelligence enough to appreciate
me"
Or. when the man was asked, "Why
do you love this woman" he might
simply throw up his hands and reply,
Search me! But l do"

any man can give for assuming the

The nifty little kid you meet on the

Of money and success.
The little tatterdemalion you meet

from the city and given the joys Of the
country and a taste Of childhood close

And the baby, who plays with its lit

philosophers who have filled the libra

Habit of lnferioritv
By BEATRICE FAIRFAX.

W TE have fallen into the custom of
w making a shrine of that term
"old- fashioned" and attribut-
ing to it all the graces the world has
ever known.
Yet with all homage paid to the rev.
erence, the modesty, the thrift, the
purity of thought and word Of those of
sweet memory there is one attribute
that made them lovely in their day and
generation which has no place in the
world today, and that Is their humility.
One should be humble; goodness knows
there is nothing in our parts in this
passing show to make US proud, but
one should not make Of humility the
supreme virtue 1t was several centu-
ries ago.
1t had its place then. 1t should not
be overlooked now: but if we attempt
to be as humble as were our ancestors
we succeed only in becoming victims
of the habit of inferiority.
The old fashioned girl said in her
humility, Il am not as pretty as other
girls; l am not as witty, am not as
clever, l am not as graceful. I must
keep in mind all these shortcomings
and be humble"
And humble she was, and as girls in
those days had no other part in life
than to sit and spin while waiting for a
lover to come riding by, her humility
became her and assisted her in accom-
plishing her desired ambition, and that
was to be wooed and won, to become a
wife and mother.
With the passing of this sort OF a
passive existence, there has also passed
away some of the grace of humility
The girl of today must work out her
own destiny and to be something, to be
somebody in the world, she dare not,
she must not, sit down and say, Il am

and not as attractive | will remembe.
my shortcomings and be humble"
The new creed, which better fts nav
conditions. is that she must not brood
on her faults, but recognize them onr
in the desire to become their master I
she realizes every minute of the d8y
that others have good qualities which
she lacks, and sinks in humility at the
thought, she acquires the habit Of ii.
feriority and victim Of that habit Is
OF no more use in the world today than
the loafer who drags along in the rear
Of a procession.
She must say, Il will do as vel as
others; I will climb as high; I will
amount to as much, and never, for a
moment, will I let the feeling of infs.
riority distress or discourage me"
After she has realized her ambition
remembrance of the struggle ii ha'
cost. and always the knowledge Of thi
uncertainty of her position will maxi
her humble.
And that is the humility that Is
grace today; The humility Of achieve
ment,

An Alienist Needed.

Then the Grand Inquisitor would take
one squint at Arabella and. perceiving
that she was an ordinary looking young
person with snub nose and hay coll
ored hair, and that she simpered and
giggled, and bore none OF the ear
marks Of the superWoman. he would
pityingly commit the besotted youth
10 a padded cell. as he remarked:
Dung man, what YOU need is an
auenist and not q marriage license"
No. No man can give reason for
the faith that is in him concerning the
woman he loves He just loves her;
that is the answer. She's Just the one
woman for him. and that's all there is
to IT, and logic has got nothing to do
with the situation.
or course, TO the Grand Inuuisitor II
seems that man should be able TO
give some intelligent reason for the
most important step Of his life. and
that when he Is asked. why do Won
love this woman?" he should be able to
reply for instance:
i love her for her beauty" That
would be a good answer that vouId
carry conviction with IT, But. alas not
one man in a million could ruthfully
make 1t. The average man doesn't fall

Not Helnless.

The mistress OF a house advertised
for a woman to do general housework,
and in answer a girl called, announc-
ing that she had come for the position.
Are you a good COOKE" asked the
lady.
No indeed; l don't cook" was the
reply.
Are you a good laundress?"
Il wouldn't do washin' and ironin';
it's too hard on the hands"
Can you sweep"
No was the positive answer. I'm
not strong enough"

woman because she is so intelligent" !"
That would be a lovely high browed
justification of his sentiments. but it is
doubtful If any man ever really fell in
love with a womans brains. When he
loves such one it is generally in spite
Of them, and not because OF them, and
as rule the more scrambled they are
the better he likes her.
Or man might say: Il love her be-
cause she is so good" That would
truly be an excellent reason for love.
But did ever the knowledge that a
woman was an angel on earth set a
single mans pulse a-fiutter? A man
may respect, admire, reverence good
ness in a woman, but it has never yet
lit the fire of passion in his heart.
His Many Reasons.
Or a man might say: 81 love THIS
woman because she is so domestic, be-
cause she will be such a helpmate to
me, and make the sort of mother
want my children to have" That's a
fine and dandy reason to be able to give
for ones affection. But Cupid isn't a
practical man. He's a dreaming boy,
and no man ever fell in love with a
woman because of what she could do
for him, and how comfortable she could
make him. True, he sometimes marries
for that reason. but when he does he
marries for his stomach and not his
heart
In all good faith, if man had to
answer the question, "Why do you
think You love this woman" and he
answered truly, he would say some
thing that would never get by the
matrimonial censor He would say,
Il love her for that little dimple at the
corner of her mouth or, Il love her
for the way her hair curls around the
nape of her white neck" or, 81 love
her for the cunning look in her eyes

out their minds. Among other heart
searching questions that she would ask
a young man is this one:
Why do you think you love this par

It's probably Just as well that the

No living man knows why he falls in

other, or why one maiden sets his
pulses thrilling while another leaves
him as cold as ice.
OF course, the enamored lover, If such
question should be put to him, would
say that the reason he loves Arabella
