NoT SURE OF HIM.

sLove is such a mystery,
I cannot find 1t out;
For when / think I'm best beloved
I then Inn most In doubt"
The cleverest girls are those who
blunder most in their love affairs.
The girl who is not so alert Is apt to
believe that all a 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 n breath n
ask carelessly in the next who the
girl was he met her with yesterday,
she is shrewd enough not to put ere.
dence in "the ideal" remark nor is
she quite sure of him. AS for that
matter, no woman is quite sure Of a
man until she steps to the altar with
him. Many a girl thinks because she
is engaged that she is privileged to
a just what she pleases to him. She
pouts over this and scolds w 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
tri1e. The upshot of the matter Is
they agree to disagree and go their
separate ways. Nor can the wife of
a 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 as to what a man will real
ly do under different circumstances.
Even a mother is not quite u 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 q foun-
dalton 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 car be sure of even his
" son. THAT kind of a life wouldn't
suit me-" declares the boy. I'll have
none of it. It's too slow! An aero
plane for me and the life that goes
with It'll" 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 a treacherous sea. If 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 w 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 q gladstone well
come for him.
In the other girls presence, time
fits by on golden wings. No woman
a sit down and worry owe the pos
sible chance Of losing . man or let
him know that she does not feel sure
of him. II she Is bright, Of happy dis
position, ~cultivating q charming per
sonality is genial and 8 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 a better chance, the
world over. in holding his heart
against all corners who might be DOS
sibfe 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 the.
acquaintance to end in m~atrirnony.
The woman for whom a man would
give hts 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 y years, but he 10
supposed to renew his lease On love
as it entered his heart for q tenancy
for life. There never was = heart
created but another heart was Ehade
