Confess to yourself, how much Of
your jealousy Is from that reason

No Right to Be Jealous.

Jealous of any other living being"
she declared, whether husband or

some one who loves some one else,
she should be glad that the person
for whom she cares is getting so

Of love. Is a giving out, a giving
forth. To stop to think of what
one receives in return isn't loving"
"The woman who can support

Miss Daviess went on. "The new
woman who has q cultivated mind
and . social sense Is not often a
victim of jealousy. When you
really feel that all men are your
brothers and all women your Sis-

self away from the ally idea that
