to me and l cannot lay it aside"
Whereupon The Wife voiced the
misery of her heart; made an effort
to revive the affection which she was
sure had been hers in an earlier year,
and at last, seeing that her appeal was
in vain, she spoke of honor.
"Honor!" exclaimed The Man in a
wondering tone. Il do not know where
honor should begin or leave off, my
dear. You see, our marriage was all a
mistake From playmates in child
hood we drifted into comradeship in
youth, and finally went on, just drift
ing pleasantly along to the altar. All
of which might have been we'll enough

between love and pleasant affection,

What are you going to do?" ques-
toned The Wife, in that quiet way she
has when the knife in her heart is
turning slowly.
There is but one thing TO Do"
answered The Man.
And that?" she asked.
Why" he said. I'VE must end this
farce which you and call marriage"

the wife. in her zeal to make children
and home all that they should be, neg
lects her own personal appearance
The woman who has NO tangible
hold on a man knows that it is fatal to
look unlcvely in his eyes. She is
dainty to the smallest detail. A wife
dares to differ with her husbands opin.
ions. The charmer hears him say black
is white. and that water runs up hill
instead of down, and smilingly agrees
with him though in the depths of her
heart she would give much to be able
to give him a good scathing tongue
lashing now and then, to let him know
the contempt which even she holds
him in.
Her life is one of repression, being
sweet, docile and sympathetic, petting
and fondling, no matter how much it
may go against the grain. A wife
might take leaf out of the coquette's
note book and study ways of success
full charming with excellent results.
Unless husbands heart has slipped
away from her altogether she may still
have the hope of reclaiminC him,
tearing away the poison ivy which has
twined himself around him and is
clinging to him tenaciously, refusing
to be uprooted.
The wife of the tickle, truant hus-
band should first study her own ap-
pearance, make herself fair to look
upon. Her treatment of her husband
should be loving and gentle. She has
the great opportunity of studying and
catering to him in the comforts. likes
and dislikes of his home life. No man
can be harsh for long to fair woman
who loves him and tells him she is
proud of him, if she is also the mother
Of his children. The wives who have
lost have taken the wrong tack with
their husbands. If men do not get pet
ting, sympathy. love and fondness from
their wives, they know they can find
it elsewhere. 1t is the woman who is
the sweetest and tenderest to whom he
turns in moments of discouragement
Every disappointed wife should read
her own heart and daily life carefully

with hope forever balancing like
teeter board, now up, then down, un-
til we are ready to agree more readily
with the philosophizing rhymester who
has summed up courtship in this wise;
THE course of true love never runs
smooth"
Sometimes it is the fault of the girl,
again, the lover may be at fault Where
both hearts are faithful and true, mis-
understandings between sweethearts
are few and far between. Where one is
fickle-especially the man-love suf-
fers trying ordeals on the young wom-
ans part.
There is nothing more cruel than for
a man to gain the love of a trusting,
inexperienced young heart and then
trifie with it by flirting, or, worse still,
transferring his affections to another.
That is one of the tragedies that is
hard to live down. A man courts fair,
sweet maid for year or more. fighting
shy of the subject of marriage. A
fairer, newer face crosses his path and
he is off in flash pursuing the fresher
fancy without a thought or a care that
he is leaving breaking heart behind
him.
The greatest trial a forsaken sweet
lover in company with the girl to whom
he has transferred his affections To
be utterly ignored by him, to see him
dance, talk, clasp lovingly the hand of
another, hang over her chair, paying
that other one the devotion she had
held SO dear, is bitterness pitiful to
live through and smile as though his
oblivion to her presence was matter
of equal Indifference to her.
That man who has once been her
lover can forget her SO completely is
appalling to most girls. Her hopes of
winning him back are shattered when
she sees for herself that he does not
care whom she came with, whether or
no she has had a dance, or sits out the
evening forlorn wallfiower or how
she gets home.
The foolish girl sits down lamenting.
weeping bitterly over her unhappy love
dream. The wise girl looks at her
face long and earnestly in her mirror.
She sees that she is quite as fair as the
maiden who has supplanted her in her
lovers affections. This gives her
courage. She closes the book of the
past with a bang, saying to herself:
What care / how fair he be if he be
not fair to me-" and, moreover,
There's as good fish in the sea as ever
came out of it," Hes not the right
one. I'll not dim my eyes with tear
on his account. A tickle lover would
prove more despicable husband. A
good man for me. one who loves me
and whom l could not drive from me
II l would, or none. He who can trans
fer his affections as easily as he can
change his hats is not worth grieving
over"

And some find death e'er they find love;

UNMATED HEARTS.

Sometimes in the twilight gloom apart,
The tall trees whisper. whisper heart
TO heart
From my fond lips the eager answers
fall,
Thinking 1 hear thee call.
When sweethearts are continually
pickering, falling out over the merest
trif1es, it should not take a sage to
convince them that they can never jog
along smoothly over life's path II they
marry. The want Of consideration,
each for the other, is sadly lacking.
Where true love exists there is an
eager desire to please, to smooth away
difficulties, and to Danish every worri-
some thought. The young man con-
suits girls wishes as to where she
would like to go; the entertainments
that are most pleasing to her, and all
of the little affairs that make up the
sum of life and courtship. The young
girl, on her part, consults her lovers
wishes and inclinations If he is rich
and takes into consideration the cost
of outings if he is poor.
A pickering sweetheart is apt to
have a streak of jealousy in her ma
ture. She is perhaps exacting. and
attempts to domineer ever him to the
extent of knowing just where he
passes every evening that he is not by
her side. She demands that he shall
keep his appointments with her rain
or shine. II it rains pitchforks on an
evening he is expected to call, the un-
reasonable girl sits pouting in her
parlor. waiting for him just the same.
II st is five minutes past his usual time
to come her temper asserts itself. She
determines to call him to account for
it. She doesn't stop to consider walk,
il only block from her home, might
drench him. despite his umbrella. II
she were a reasonable sweetheart, he
could stay away altogether, trusting
to her judgment to understand the
situation and know that she would
not have him come and catch heavy
cold.
The girl may be very dear to him,
her parlor cozy and comfortable, but it
does not put a man in the best of hui
NOR to struggle through storm to
keep an appointment when the fol-
lowing evening could do just as well.
1t doesn't make matters better to
have her meet him with frown. point
ing to the clock on the mantel. He is
not the best company, nor is he in the
humor to exert himself to enter into a
pleasant conversation, or make love, as
under more favorable circumstances.
The girl notes his frown and apparent
indifference, and jumps at the conclu-
sion that he is trying to break off with
her. A sarcastic remark on her part
is spiritedly retorted to by him. and he
is only too glad to bring his visit
quickly to a close. She may write
note OF apology the next day. and he
may answer, quite as anxious as she
to bridge over the difficulty; the un-
pleasant stabs OF each may heal, but
the remembrance Of unkind words
lasts much longer. Both should realize
ere they take the final steps which
bind them together that they are un-
suited for each other. Their hearts
are minated. All would go smoothly
with such lovers II they made the re-
solve from the start that each would
refuse to quarrel.

auditor answered her nothing The
Wife told her that when she went
away with The Man it would be to
live an ostracized life of shame all
her days.
For" said The Wife. Il will never

Despite the fact that The Wife kept
her word, and that society frowned it's
disapproval on the action of The Man
and The Other Woman, their love was
sufficient unto them, and little by lit
tie The Other Woman forgot the
curse which The Wife had promised
should follow her to the end of her
days, and when little girl came to
her home she determined to put it out
of her mind forever. And time came
when the folk in the distant city to
which The Man had taken The Other
Woman to live were more charitably
disposed toward them, and some there
were who even felt that The Wife was
hard and vindictive, and extended
their sympathy in courteous action to
The Man and The Other Woman.
But once in a while the words of
The Wife knocked sharply at The
Other Woman's conscience, and then
she was afraid, and once in awhile
The Little Maid made her think of the

Love for The Other Woman coursed
through The Mans veins like mad
thing. There were moments when he
was alone that he was haunted by the
laughter OF the Boy Person in his
home, but when he was with the OBJ
tect Of his hearts desire he quite lost
It from his consciousness.
Time came when The Wife seldom
saw The Man, and finally she made
up her mind that she would go to see
The Other Woman, taking the Boy
Person with her.
The Other Woman's candor might
have disarmed The Wife had 1t not
been for the Boy Persons presence in
the room, for the woman loved told
the woman unloved that she knew her
errand; knew the terrible hurt she
had brought her; declared her own

the same assurance that The Man had
given-the frank assertion that the
thing which possessed her was bigger
than her will and that she had no
power to dispel the force OF love.
But what are you going to do?"
asked The Wife again.
I'VE are going away" came the
frank reply.
Whereupon The Wife assured The
Other Woman that she could not hope
to build happiness on anothers
misery; that she could not hope to
