If 1 find the world SO bitter
When I am but twenty-five.
When a man marries a poor girl
who hasn't the second dress to her
back and not cent in her purse, he
knows that it's up to him to provide
the wherewithal for the rent, the food,
clothes, and expenses of every kind.
The rightly disposed man is mighty
glad to be able to do it. He is
proud to contribute not only comforts
but luxuries for the woman who chose
him in preference to all others. But
a rich wife? He knows if he does not
provide her with new silk dress,
modish furs, and plumes for her hat
which cost a fortune, her daddy will.
He has no incentive to redouble his
energies in the line of work, and does
not trouble himself as to the future.
Even the daughters of the rich are
old-fashioned enough to believe it is
the husband instead of the father they
should look to for support; that he
should consider this the first and fore
most of his matrimonial obligations.
If the father of the rich wife loses his
fortune, what is to become of her if
she has not a husband she can look to
in her hour of need? Her fine house
furnishings, her jewels, or clothes viii
not keep the roof over her head for
any length of time. If disposed of,
they go for song. This goes to show
that no matter how rich a girl may be
through her parents the man who mar
ries her should not consider this suf-
fcient cause why he should be de-
linquent in her support. From the
hour she leaves her fathers roof she
should be her husbands care.
When a wife finds that a man has
no intention of providing for her,
though he may be able to do SO had
he cared for her sufficiently, her love
receives a shock Slowly, but surely,
she becomes disillusionized. When
the seed of discomfort is sown in mar.
.ried hearts the dove of peace is ready
to take flight from the nest With
most wives brooding brings suspicion

When she came out of the shop she
