When the song has died out Of your
That you thought would last till the
end,
You can sing no other song
Not even a tremulous note,
VIII falter forth on the empty air.
1t dies away in your throat
For the spirit of song is fled;
The nightingale sings no more to the
rose,
When the beautiful flower Is dead
II is not always an easy matter for
q girl to tell whether q man IL In love
the possibility that she may be a good
matrimonial prize, having every pros
pect OF inheriting money.
1t Is not so much Of q problem as Is
generally supposed. Give a wouldbe
wooer sufficient opportunities and the
manifest. The man who is really in
love doesn't care a rap IL the object OF
his affection hasn't a second dress to
her back. He doesn't waste thought
concerning her genealogical tree.
Whether her great grandfather was a
belted earl or hod carrier. All he Is
thinking OF is the girl herself.
The theme he loves but to talk about
when with her is how he can advance
IN his position, insuring sufficient
amount to provide comfortably for her
II she will wed him. His talks Of max
ing her happy, OF his willingness to do
for her old father and mother, her
little brothers and sisters, even shOul-
dering the support Of her aged aunts
If IL will but add to her peace of mind.
He works hard night and day to show
her that he is advancing, straining
every nerve to make good his prom
Uses to her, proving his love.
The fortune hunter is built on a diff
ferent line. He has q hearty disre-
gard for work. He Is always out of
one position and into another. He
tells a good story Of the great posi-
lions offered him, giving glib excuses
as to why he passes them by to take
girl begins only after he has been
made aware Of the fact that she has
rich relatives whose money she must
inherit. A family of elderly spinsters
beyond the probability OF wedlock
who will be sure to leave their for
tunes to their young brothers daugh"
ter or a grandmother as wealthy as
she Is penurious who must eventually
leave her fortune to her only child's
daughter.
The fortune hunters sole topic of
conversation, no matter from what
IL
to the health and longevity Of the
grandmother and the aunts. To hear
that the grandmother Is contemplating
adonting her physician agitates him
greatly. The rumor that one or all of
the aunts contemplate being led to the
altar fills him with poignant dismay.
He will go to any length to Illustrate
the prospects of the doctor and. break
up the love matches of the aunts, II
he has to move heaven and earth to
accomplish 1t. 80
There's no enticing him into the
hymeneal yoke until he sees the girl
land at least one or more OF the for
tunes. AS he puts the betrothal ring
on her finger he is talking UP the adj
visibility of the husband controlling
his wife's money and drawing from
her then and there that 1t shall be as
In their case after they are wed.
By all these tokens the average girl
should recognize the fact that the
man was by no means in love with
her--but with her prospective fortune.
His declaration of affection does not
ring true. It Is this type of, a man who
deserts his wife after he has succeeded
in sqtandering the fortune which she
has entrusted to his safe guarding.
The right kind of a lover will in
troduce his sweetheart's aged aunt of
means to the lonely aged widower
equally endowed with this worlds
goods In the hope OF seeing two lonely
lives made happier. He asks no odds
Of the grandmother nor brother about
corraling her fortune. All he wants Is
his dearie for his very own. to work
for and cherish and make fame and
fortune for. IL 1t be within his power. p
and tinseI Is easily detected II the
The difference, between pure gold
and tinsel Is easily detected IL the
proper tests are applied.
The true lover worships at the
shrine OF true love, the fortune hunter
at the shrine Of gold; It must be In
evidence somewhere to induce him to
marry. ~ ." s
