VIEWPOINTS DIFFERENT.

A mans and q WOman'S viewpoint
is very different. If woman wants
happiness she will have to learn to
look at things from a mans point OF
view as we'll as her own. Only an
occasional man is as sensitive as most
women Again, if he is sensitive she
is apt to think he is not and so do
and say things that hurts him even
as she would be hurt in his place,
and he. unlike herself, would not let
her see how hurt he was-fOr man
thinks but keeps silent, while wom-
an says what she thinks.
I haven't read much of this serial.
so am basing my opinion on Carries
dinner, with just a word about losing
the money. Warren, most likely,
would have gone through handbag,
muff, etc, but quietly, not excited as
Helen did. He knows how easy it is
10 overlook anything when excited. If
he did not find it he would have put
it down to profit and loss and made
the best of it.
When you marry, YOU. to 2. certain
extent, marry the family and must
pu. up with a good many hurts from
them. Helen may have been right in
taking Winifred from the table, but
certainly she should not have done so

and knowing Carries children as she
seems to, she was inviting trouble
when she invited them, and for War
ren's sake she should have remember
ed that a hostess must forget all
things but hospitality TO her guests.
Now that Carrie has ignored the in
cident and humbled herself by invit-
ing them to dinner, Helen should
meet her half way by going as War
rem loves Winifred even though not
as demonstrative as herself, and he
sees no reason to stir up q coIdness
between them. so why should she?
She can't if she expects to keep in
Warren's good graces.
For the sake OF keeping Warren
pleasant every day, why not put up
with Carrie once in a while?
What satisfaction does she get by
being stubborn? 1t only hurts her
Warren will go and enjoy himself too,
Perhaps he will miss her but he will
not say so. Where is her gain? lie
loves his people. They have been
good TO him all his life and Helen has
only known him a few years. She
had better go so he will not care TO
talk about it, He will appreciate her
going.
Perhaps Warren is not always right
He should try 10 look at things as
Helen sees them. Women are a puZ-
gle. If Warren took her in his arms
and kissed her she would be apt To
( do as he wished. One word of love
I does more than an hour of scolding
Y or arguing, but no man would argue
/ an hour. for he would pick up his hai
/ and go for a walk and she could dc
as she pleased. Warren, you had bet
/ ter try the loving method.
Now Helen, you see I've giver
Y Warren the advice YOU wish he would
\ follow. but 10 tell the truth 1 don't
/ believe he Will do it and if you want
/ 10 be happy and on good terms with
/ him every day you must learn TO loOl
Z at things from a mans point OF view
/ as we'll as your own. I'm afraid tina
some times even when you think YOU
are right, YOU had better let Warner
+ have his way A man cannot or does
not seem 10 be able 10 look at thing:
as a woman does and il is easier &c
+ at least apparently let him have hi:
way and be happy than IL is 10 quar-
rel. Even though YOU are both q
blame. Helen is the one who must
change. She is more To blame.
Actual experience forms the basi:
+ OF this opinion. SENORITA.
