NOT SURE OF HIM.

Love is such mystery,
I cannot find 1t out;
For when think I'm best beloved
then am most in doubt"
The cleveresr girls are those who
blunder most in their love affairs.
The girl who Is not SO alert is apt to
believe that all young man tells her
Is the gospel truth. With the clever
girl. it's his actions, not his words,
that count; though he may tell her
that she is his ideal in one breath and
ask carelessly in the next who the
girl was he met her with yesterday,
she is shrewd enough not to- put Gre
dence in "the ideal" remark nor is
she quite sure of him. AS for that
matter. no woman is quite sure of
man until she steps to the altar with
him. Many a girl thinks because she
Is engaged that she is privileged to
say just what she pleases to him. She
pouts over this and scolds over that,
quite willing that he should coax her
into good humor. There Is a limit,
however, to the patience Of the best
Of men. When he has reached that
stage, he might balk over the merest
trihe. The upshot of the matter is
they agree to disagree and go their
separate ways. Nor can the wife of
. mans bosom expect to continue to
scatter her husbands opinions at all
times to the winds and to do as she
pleases. The best Of husbands will
rebel once in a while. One can never
BE- positive az to what man will real
-ly do under different circumstances.
Even = mother is not quite sure of
what her own son will do. She may
be intensely anxious that he shall mar
ry some daughter in the social set in
which she moves. He may lose his
heart to the pretty shopgirl who sells
him gloves and marry her after the
short whirlwind courtship. A father
may work all of his life and scrape
and save in building up a business,
The hope which he hugs to his bosom
for years is that he is laying a foun-
dation Of his boys future career; that
he Will take the reins out of his hands
when he is ready to lay them down.
The best laid plans of mice and men
Gang aft aglee."
No parent can be sure Of even his
own son. That kind of q life wouldn't
suit me-" declares the boy. 'Tll have
none of 1t. It's too slow! An aero
plane for me and the life that goes
with it," The girl who has over-con-
fdence In her best fellow, asking him
to escort home this girl friend or that
one when they happen to call upon
her. often sends forth her ship of love
upon treacherous sea. II the lover,
like the ship, returns to her no more.
she has learned her lesson: after that
experience, she let's her women friends
find their own escorts.
No sweetheart can be too sure of
holding even the most faithful of
lovers. II he finds her continually dull
his thoughts may turn slowly to some
other girl whom he knows that is al
ways bright. who has gladsome well
come for him.
In the other girls presence. time
fits by on golden wings. No woman
can sit down and worry over the pos
sible chance Of losing a man or let
him know that she does not feel sure
of him. II she is bright, of happy dis
position, cultivating a charming per-
sonality is genial. and a chum in
truth. always ready to go here and
there with him. entering heart and
soul into the sports he likes. she may
feel that she has better chance, the
world over, in holding his heart
against all comers who might be pos
sible rivals. Every man has one soft,
little warm spot in his heart II only
woman could reach It, II two hearts
are not wholly agreed. the woman
cannot be sure Of him. No woman
should be disheartened because she
cannot influence one particular man.
Their natures evidently do not har-
monize. They would never be wholly
satisfied with each other were their
acquaintance to end in matrimony.
The woman for whom man would
give his last dollar, aye the last drop
of blood in his heart is the only be-
ing who would be sure Of him.
This advice holds good for both
sweetheart. or wife. A man might
change every seven years. but he is
supposed to renew his lease on love
as It entered his heart for tenancy
for life. There never was heart
created but another heart was made
for 1t. These and these only are sure
