that she was an ordinary looking young

pityingly commit the besotted youth
TO a padded cell. as he remarked: &:
Young man, what YOU need is an

No. No man can give a reason for
the faith that is in him concerning the
woman he loves. He just loves her;
that is The answer, Shes Just the one

Habit of Inferiioritv
By BEATRICE FAIRFAX.

W re have fallen into the custom of
wv 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 it 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, 'I am not as pretty as other
girls; l am not as witty l am not as
clever, / am not as graceful. l 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
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

The nifty little kid you meet on the
way who looks up at you with friendly
eyes, clear and unafraid, stirs your
heart more than all dreams and visions
of money and success.
The little tatterdemalion you meet
makes you want to change conditions
80 that all children can be taken away
from the city and given the joys of the
country and a taste of childhood close
to nature.
And the baby, who plays with its Ii
tie pink toes, and is all unconscious OF
your presence, is of more interest than
the speculation and theories of the
philosophers who have filled the libra
ries with their thoughts from the long
ago till now.

TIME women have a great deal 10
say about the broadening effects
of travel
Which means, boiled down to meet
the limitations of actual experience
that every time a woman goes to an
other town to broaden her mind she
comes back glowing with tales of the
wonderful bargains she found there in
a ten-ceut store.
Daysey Mayme Appleton is a firm
advocate of this method Of broadening
the mind. and Is never so happy as
when at the depot ready to spend her
fathers money. get a cinder in her eye,
and experience all the broadening ef-
fects of visiting a new ten-cent store.
She returned from such a broadening
trip with a gold" pin she bought at
the marvellous teu-Cent store in the
town she visited. She had paid only
ten cents for it.
The next week she lost il. Then il
began to assume a value out of all
proportions. She lamented it's loss to
her friends, and advertised it in the
papers. 1t was unique and antique. and
she began to adorn it with ruby.
No one rebulked her.
1T had four diamonds" she said
next, and was worth a thousand dol
lars"
1T was my great great grand
mothers betrothal gift" she said next
time, "and no estimate can be put on
its value
She added more diamonds. and then
a pearl or two. In short within a
month Daysey Mayme had begun to
enjoy her loss so much that no greater
distress could be known to her than a
return of the pin.
Why do you do this and make your
loss greater. complained her father.

Ihat would be lovely high browed

doubtful if any man ever really fell in
love with woman's brains. When he
loves such one 1t 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: i love her be-

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-flutter? man

His Many Reasons.
Or man might say: Il love this
woman because she is so domestic, be-
cause she will be such a helpmate to
me. and make the sort of mother l
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
