The Confessions
- of a Wife C

You never cared for anyone
else, did you. Madge?" she ques-
toned.
"Of course, l did" I said teas
ingly.
Honest. Madge, isn't Dick
your first and only lover"
Not by any manner of means,
my dear. My first love was lit
tie chap In short trousers, and I
had numberless others of more
or less stability before met
Dick"
Why is it that everyone seems
to think that woman must only
love onee?-
Heinrich Heine, one of the
greater and most catholic of low
ers, says: "A woman cannot
love twice. Her nature is too
tender to endure second time
the terrible emotional earth
quake"
| think that both men and
women fall in love first with
species rather than the individ-
ual. Man falls in love with
woman, and woman with man
many times, but all at once they
find it is the PARTICULAR man
or woman and then: "A light
that was never on land or sea
breaks for them.''

hank of hair" Herr Bolke, Ger
man magician, creates a beauti-

fore, and have become popular
with local audiences, return to
the Pantages Monday with a new
repertoire of Hawaiian melodies

After | had made the terrible
"break" of saying | had seen Mol
lie in worse company than a
chorus girl Dick got near enough
to me to say: We'll, Margie,
you've done it now" And | an
swered, as / slipped my hand in
his: "Oh, Dick, I'm awfully sorry
but your mother rifles me so that
| do not know enough to keep my
mouth shut"
By this time we were upstairs,
and Mother Waverly insisted that
l had insulted both Mollie and
herself and that must make
some explanation.
"Oh, what's the use, mother"
said Dad, "of making such a fuss
about it. Probably Jacks little
chorus girl is all right. / have
never thought that the mere fact
that girl is in the chorus of a
comic opera brands her with the
scarlet letter, and | presume
Margie is right, for she has seen
Mollie with almost any of the
young men she goes with, and
the young men of today are not
angels of light"
Mollie came over and slipped
her hand around my shoulders,
at which Mother Waverly called
her to do some trivial thing for
her.
WELL" said, 81 have rarely
met a girl l liked better than
Mary Dunlap, and | called upon
her because Jack told me that he
wanted me to, and intimated that
he was in love with her." Mother
Waverly groaned. "Eliene Sy-
none and l had her at tea and
dinner, and we found her charm
ing, and as for me | think Jack
might go farther and fare worse. 4"

ately and tell him my opinion of

would die of shame"
Aunt Mary had said nothing,
but now she woke up: II am
sure, Sallie, that any young girl
who is honest, sincere and sweet
can be welcomed into any
family"
Just as they were getting ready
to go home Mollie came over and
whispered: "Margie, I'll not for
give you for not letting me meet
my future sister-in-law."
Hush, dear" l said, for I saw
Mother Waverly watching us.
Perhaps Jack is not SO much In
love with her as he thinks he is,
and you can't tell. maybe she will
like some other fellow better"
But Mollie, with a sisters low
