LAURA JEAN LIBBEY'S DAILY
TALKS ON HEART TOPICS

When a woman Is introduced to a par
ticularly agreeable man. but In warned
| not to set her cap for him because he
has a heart exempt from love. she
shouldn't believe 1t.
To marry is the duty of every mans
life. Each man has his own notion of
the kind Of a woman who would be con-
genial to him. He passes a thousand
women by ere he looks into the eyes of
one woman to whom his heart instantly
responds. When that occurs, the man
who was not thought obtainable will. in
the twinkling Of an eye, become changed
into an anxious lover.
Coquetry or Establishments will not be
needed to draw him on. No matter what
the conditions are. what obstacles con-
front him. even the Indifference Of the
woman acts as a stimulus to his pur-
pose-to win and wed her. A man may
have many light fancies-they come and
go. leaving no regret or longing behind
them He knows but one real heart in
terest. especially IL he has lived the life
be bachelor-a free lance, knowing not
true love until late in life.
He may have laughed cynIcally over
the woes Of many a married man. But
when his time comes he is ready to shift
the yoke on his own shoulders and be
proud OF carrying II. As man changes
In face and form. SO the heart changes
The woman he might admire in his early
days he would not become enamored Of
when his Judgment was ripe with years.
IL he has believed that all women were
cut after the same pattern, light. frivo-
lous. gay. laughed with them. fattered
them. and rode away. when he meets
serious, plain woman. wholesome as
she Is true. his armored heart Is pierced
at last. He yields gracefully to loves
sweet influence HE never knew he had
heart till he was conscious of its loss. :"
The romance OF man whose first flush
OF youth is over is tenderer, sweeter, by
far, than many OF those in the heyday
of early manhood. He doesn't expect
too much from the woman he weds.
Youth looks for brilliancy, beauty. CO.
quetry. and all charms combined in a
wife. He who has turned his back on
middle age and is slowly vending his
way in solitude is satisfied with. nay
appreciates to the full. the dear woman
who has no particular charm of face
or manner IL she but have a tender
heart that beats for him alone with love
and devotion. He wants companionship.
sympathy. tenderness. and affection.
Given these. he Is as happy as any man
the wide world holds.
Once in a while a man goes unwedded
to the grave. Even he. could he live
his life over again. would cry out against
those who would exempt love from their
hearts. One Is sure to meet the right
heart mate soon or late.
