r WONDER how many hus-
| bands and wives whose mar
riages have turned out to be
failures ever have the courage to
face the real truth and recognize
the part that they have played In
wrecking their happiness?
The virtuous one always puts
all of the blame on the sinner,
and yet, so sadly often, It is the
stupidity of the good that leads
the weak into temptation.
A Case in Point.
Here is case in point: A man
marries a pretty, amusement
loving, light-hearted girl. He puts
her down into little fiat, and
expects her to be happy and sat
isfied, with nothing livelier to do
than the homework, and looking
forward to his coming home of an
evening.
When he does come he is tired
and grouchy and sits around all
evening without speaking, scarce
ly. If she proposes to go to the
theater or to a friends for game
of cards or to merely take a walk
on the street he growls out re-
fusal II she wants a new dress
or a new hat he bats her extrav-
agance. Gradually he comes to
stand in her mind for killjoy;
and her home seems a sort of jail.
She Is young and full of the joy
of living, and her natural instinct
for pleasure is not to be denied,
so she begins to find it on the
outside of her home. She begins
to buy flnery of which her hus-
band knows nothing: to go to
places of amusement of which he
never hears; to make acquaint-
ances with men of whom she
never speaks to him.
The women who write mash
notes to actors. who dance with
strange men at afternoon tea
rooms, who carry on clandestine
correspondence who lunch with
other men than their husbands at
restaurants, and who are always
looking out for Irritation are in
variably women married to men
Who do not realize that some
amusement is as necessary to a
woman as the air she breathes or
the bread she eats, and that IL 1t
Is not given to her legitimately
she will take it illegitimately.
I never see a pretty, silly, friv-
olous Young woman married to
stick in the mud husband with
out feeling like shouting to him.
Lead her not into temptation"
for that's exactly what he's do
ing. And when she goes wrong
he's more to blame than she is.
There is this other case also: A
man marries a tender, loving,
warm hearted girl to whom affec-
ton is as the sunshine to a flow
err. He may be perfectly devoted
to her, but he is one of the clam
type of men who keep every emo
ton shut up in their own souls.

Questions Answered
THE TRIumPHAL MOTOR CAR.
To be continued.

S. c. P.-According to the best
and latest information available,
there are at present in the United
States more than 1,25o,000 motor
vehicles. In the entire country
there are about 10000 commercial
motor vehicles in use, showing
that the horse is rapidly being
eliminated as beast of burden.
There is but little doubt that the
time is not far distant when, save
in out-of-the- way places, the
hauling will largely be done by
the motor vehicle.

Never Praises Her.

He never pays her compn
ment, or does or says a senti-
mental thing to her, and he shook
off all love making with the rice
and old shoes after the wedding.
He expects her to understand that
he admires her from the fact that
he picked her out for his wife;
that he is pleased with her be-
cause he doesn't criticise her,
and that she will infer that he
loves her from the evidence ad-
duced by his working to support
her
OF course, if the woman had a
calmly judicial mind this would
be sufficient, hut she isn't judi

cial She is creature OF warm
human sensibility, of hungry
craving for tenderness and love.
She wants to be petted, to be
f1attered, to be told that she's the
sun, moon and stars to her hus-
band, and that he would die with
out her.
She is heart hungry. She Is
starving for affection, and along
comes some man who makes
fervid and violent love to her,
and as result, there's another
domestic tragedy. Yet is such a
woman any more to blame than
the Nstarving wretch who steals
the loaf of bread that is put
within her reach? Isn't the cold
and callous husband who has
been too busy and too much alb
soroed in his own pursuits to show
her any real affection the one
who is most guilty? Hasn't he
led her into temptation?
Doesn't every man who does
not deliberately try to make his
wife happy lead her into tempta-
ton? Lots of wives are unfaith-
full to good men," but never
yet heard OF a woman who was
unfafthful to husband who was
really good to her-and being
good TO a woman doesn't mean
merely refraining from beating
her and giving her food and
clothes. IT means ministering ia
the wants of her soul and heart
Just as much as her body.
Avoid Temptation.
And take the case Of where the
man is the sinner: A young man
who is genial and broad minded.
and generous, marries woman
who is narrow and prejudiced and
stingy. The first thing that she
does is to drive all of his old
friends away from him. The next
thing is to terrorize him so he's

taurant she is afraid they're
spending too much. IL he takes
her to the theater she's worrying
lest they shut the cat up in the
pantry. She makes home the
most unpleasant spot on earth

to stay away from it.

she is the sinner.
And there is the other cast OF
the woman who nags. She may
really love her husband and be
doing It for his own good, only
none OF us ever recognize the
value OF persecution. She tor
ments him about everything he
does, and leaves undone, until he
flies to some other distraction
simply for preservation. You
may be sure OF this, that very
few women whose husbands go
wrong have failed to be Access
