When Romance Runs Riot
By GERTRUDE MAILMAN.

a YOUNG woman who has learned
u SO little from the experience of
others that she needs a guard
ian, writes me;
Il am a young lady and am very fond
of children. How may 7 get into CORE
spondence with some widower with the
view of matrimony? l am all alone in
the world"
This young woman has romantic
visions of making herself the idolized
of some widower's home. She pictures
herself in an armchair in the evening
with the Widower's children on her lap,
and their father sitting opposite beam
ing in happiness at such an ideal scene,
She dreams that they love her as
much as if she were their own mother,
and in this beautiful dream no vision of
the first wfe's relatives or friends OBJ
trudes She sees no question of her
rights or authority in her vision She
imagines no rebellion inspired by zeal
Gus relatives in the breasts of her step
children.
If she marries a widoWer with chill
dren she will wake up before the honey
moon is over. Some one must mother
the motherless, but the task is made so
difficult by relatives and friends of the
dead mother that the bravest heart has
reason to shrink from the task.
And as for voluntarily seeking it!
This young woman is SO ignorant of
what such a situation implies that she
needs q guardian.

To Suit Himself.

No man, my dear. ever picks out his
second Wife with his children's best
good in mind. He married the first
time a girl who suited him; he marries
the second time for the same reason.
He is thinking solely Of SELF. If his
second wife makes a good mother for
his children he takes all the credit to
himself for having made such a choice.
Ii she is a poor mother, and they are
neglected, he blames her, or the chill
dren. Under no circumstances does he
blame himself.
He thinks so little of his children's
need when he goes counting the second
time that if an official appointed by the
government for that very purpose We're

hearts in their breasts, and who would
