a CORRESPONDE a 8
~ these questions
why should a man or
woman go over all the reasons
why he or she should not love
someone, and all the equally forci-
BILE reasons why some other one
who would be best and wisest for
him or her to marry, while he or
she knows that he or she loves
and wants the undesirable party2
In short, why should men and
women in love be like one who
f1ips a coin to decide question,
and when it comes down heads
abides by the tail decision, any
how? Is this subtle thing we call
intuition, or the sixth sense,
better guide in love than our
coarse, and by no means infalli-
BILE, reason? :"
A general blanket reply to
these queries is that men and
women love by instinct, and not
by rule. There is a mysterious
attraction of the individual, just
as there is an attraction between
the sexes, that nobody can ex-
plain.
The wisest and most learned
scientists can not tell us why
man picks some one particular
woman out of all the other wom-
en- to be his mate, nor why a
woman gets up and follows some
one man to the ends of the world.
Nor do the man and woman
know themselves. The wife and
husband a man and woman have
chosen may be inferior in every
way to hundreds OF other men
and women with whom they we're
associated daily. The world may
wonder at their selection, but to
the man and the woman there
we're only one other man and
woman in the world.
It is part OF the tragedy Of love
that the head and the heart do
not always approve of the same
person, and that the one who
fires our fancy seldom comes up
to our ideal
Thus a man, before he is hard
hit by Cupids dart, will tell you
that the woman he marries must
be intelligent, industrious thrifty,

folly. and he will hold up his

idea OF a man choosing for a
life's mate a giddy little thing

model husband besides. asks her
to marry him. She should by all
the laws of reason bless all of her
gods for her luck and fall upon
his neck with devotion; but, alasi
her Grant heart has gone it's own
way and bestowed itself upon
some youth without a penny to
bless himself with, and who is
wild and hayward and nothing
that her sober judgment com
mends. To marry him will plunge
her deeper into the slough of pow
erty than ever, and yet he is the
one that her very soul cries out
for.
Nobody can explain these
things, and nobody can suggest a
remedy, for when the head and
the heart espouse dinerert sides
In matrlmony there is happiness
in following the lead of neither.
The marriage of reason where a
man marries a woman because
she is suitable, or a woman mar
ries a man Because he can give
her a fine establishment, is a
cold blooded affair that has no
more thrills in it than a jelly
fish, and that pals on ones ap-
petite like a dinner of health
foods. A woman may have all
the virtues under the sun, but I'M
less there is something in her
that quickens a mans blood and
makes his throat get a little tight
when he thinks about her, she
will become the WEAKNESS of
death to him. A man may be a
very paragon of perfection, but
unless every time she looks at him
a woman sees him through a rosy
mist OF romance the bondage Of
her wifehood to him becomes iron
letters on her that clank in her
ears as she moves.
Nor is there any way to change
this. If men and women are not
in love with each other before
marriage they do not fall in love
with each other after marriage,
for matrlmony is not a promoter
Of romantic sentiments. It Is the
fell destroyer of illusions, when
both husband and wife inevitably
see each other in their worst
lights.
There are bound to be conflicts
OF opinion, clashes of tempera-
ment, days of taut nerves and ir-
rttability, all the sorry parade of
little weaknesses, and vanities
and. selhshness that disfigure poor
humanity, and nothing else on
earth but that inexplicable and
Understandable something that we
call love, and that makes one
persons faults dearer n us than
anybody else's virtues, one person
beautiful to us, no matter how
disfigured, that can make the
touch Of fever parched lips sweet
er to us than all the kisses OF
flower scented rosebud mouths,
can offset all the disenehantment
OF matrimony
Yet. on the other hand. If one
follows the heart and disregards
he head there is only too often a
bitter awakening after the first
rapture OF love has spent itself,
for unfortunately life is a very
practical affair and romance and
sentiment are not legal tender

candlestick maker
