n Memorys Mansion wonderful rooms
And ] wander about them at will;
And pause at the easements where boxes OF bloom,
Are sending sweet scents DER the sill
I lean from window that looks a lawn
from turret that looks the wave
But draw down the shade when / sec on some glade
\ stone standing guard by a grave
To Memory's attic I climbed one day,
When the roof was resounding with rain
And there among relics long hidden away
rummaged With heartache and pain
A hope long surrendered and covered with DUST
A pastme outgrown and forgot.
And fragment Of love. an corroded with rust
Were lying heapcd up in spot.
And there the floor OF the garret was tossed
friendship too fragile to last;
With pieces Of dearly bought plea sures that cost
Vast fortunes of pain in the past.
\ fabric OF passion vivid and bright
As the breast Of robin IN spring
Was spread out before terrible s2ht-
A moth -eaten, Of a thing.
Then down the steep stairway / hurried,y went.
And into fair chambers below
But the mansion seemed filled with the old attic scent
Wherever my footsteps would go.

Writes on
Good Advice for
a Jealous Wife
Marriage Is a Partnership
andManandWlfe Should
Share It's Burdens and
Happiness.
By WINIFRED BLACK.

XT7HAT, jealous of your hus-
wv band and want to die? You
hate him one minute and
love him the next? When you look
at him you find yourself wondering
what it is that he thinks of so deep
~. why he starts When you speak
to him, why he is SO often late to
dinner, what it is that he talks to
his friends about and laughs so long
over? You can't rest day or night.
you feel that it would be better to
leave him forever than to go on
like this?
Why, you're in a bad way, little
woman-a very bad way. / don't
know that husband of yours, but
from what you say of him / should
not think he was such an irresisti-
BILE Adonis that no woman could
keep away from him. Is he really,
now?
He looks good to you perhaps,
but don't you believe that most Of
the women who sit behind you at
wondering how you can really
think there's anything about him to
live for? He isn't as young as he
was, and he's bit grouchy.
Sorry for Both.
That woman next 10 you the 9TH
er night wondered how long he'd
been speaking to you so sharply,
and why you stood it at all. She
didn't know that his nerves were
worn to strings with your constant
jealousies and suspicious.
Poor man! poor man! I'm sorry
for him, and sorry for you, too.
What's he thinking about? Why,
about the man who's trying to get
the best of him in business. About
the coal bill and how he's going to
pay it without making you worry.
About a stupid clerk that made o
bad blunder. About the new ste
nographer-yes you were right that
time-and what q perfect goose she
is About his golf score and why
he can't make a better one. About
You and what on earth he's going to
do about you and your folly OF jeal-
ousy. He isn't a mysterious strang-
er, this man you've married: he's
just little boy grown up, with a
mans heavy load to carry.
Are you helping him to carry it?
Or are you hanging around his neck
and almost bearing him down with
your weight?
Marriage is a partnership, you
know, little woman. Are you a good
partner, or arc you letting a lot of
silly ideas make you worse than
useless to the man you think you
love?
Now, if it did any good to be jeal-
GUS why, I'd say go on and be
green-eyed, suffer, despair drive
the man and yourself half crazy.
But it doesn't do particle of good.
1t does harm-real harm. 1t
makes the man you want to have
love you tired of you as nothing
else in all the world will. Keep on
suspecting man long enough and
you'll have something to suspect
Why don't you treat this thing
like the malignant disease that it is
fight it as you would fight an in

If He's a Real Man.

Think Of him as you think o,
the little boy up there asleep in the
crib; don't rest till you've made the
tired, worried face relax, and the
first thing you know you'll be hap
by yourself-so happy that all the
meddlesome Matties who love to
make trouble between man and
wife will let you alone and find
some one else to tear to pieces foE
their vindictive amusement.
You're i'll, little woman, danger
ously i'll, and no one can cure you
but your own self. Get to work
with the medicine chest this very
day; take plenty of the medicine,

hearted belief in the man you love.
If he's any kind of man at all
that will bring him back, when all
the scolding on earth will only drive
him farther away.
