Knowledge Needed
 Before Marriage
By LUCILE CANE

IT 1t were possible to "knows' fhe woman before marriage many a hear. break would be saved. Like the nro- verbal bull In a china shop is a man when ne first enters woman's life.
 If 1t were not for the love which acts as an infallible stickfast the nsu, menage would be in pieces before tho end of the forst fortnight. or oo,,rs. women know that it Is out of the oues- ton to know them in the limited t,mo that Is usually given to engagements but the amusing part is that he doesn.t try. He would not think of taking charge of a motor car before he had learned to drive. but any and every cay he lightly undertakes the man. agement of machine infinitely more complicated.
 There are some things he can kno,v ard some he cant. but in his sublims . conplacency he ignores them all. He thinks he knows. The first few weeks CT married life are spent in recoverins from this delusion
 The only drawback to knowledrs ba- fore marriage Is the possibility or m marriage. Man Is good at taking risks. hut he is particularly shy of certain
  knowing and not knowing he would probably take the latter-the ,uncer- tainty is the spice of the thing to him.
 With woman it is different It is agony to her not to know and if she thinks somebody else knows more than she does-one may be sorry for some body If man is wise he will paint for her as vividlypa as he can each cpl soGe in his life. On his wifes knowI- edge of details his future happiness dc pcrds Even the shady scenes are best related. woman will forgive more before marriage than she will after Before his love is a novelty, his con. fidence trust which she is proud tc have even though it pains her; after ward she feels she has been trapped her confidence is shaken, suspicion is aroused and she is never sure wher the next revelation will come A man wants to treat a woman ex. actly as he would not treat man Let him not do to her what he woul. have her to do to him is a very safe guide for him.

mother Is sometimes marred by a neces- sary "caning'' or day in bed on bread and water!
 When fully repentant, however, there is nothing like mother. The natural love comes first, but the next most beautiful thing is this unselfish love the little ones show for the poor, the maimed, the sick, or the helpless. They have not lived long enough in the world to become accus- toned or hardened to the poverty and sor- row which is always to be found around us.
 It is clear that this is all about children with hearts. What of those who appear to be without? There are children of oourse who are just brim full of naughti- ness and apparently without feeling of any kind. Quite hopeless cases there are, which seem beyond human control; but often these selfish young persons can be moulded by a stronger will. and it Is a little sympathy that is most needed.
 A child's character may be softened and changed completely by giving him some- thing to touch and fondle. such as liv- in pet. At first this may seem useless. but sooner or later the puppy or kitten will win on the right side.
 No mothers should object to the trouble of "pets'-especially in cases were the little one has no brothers or sisters, and perhaps lives a lonely life in nursery at the top of the house. The poor little heart may be aching to show that 1t could love

"What a Child Loves"

The natural love for parents. relatives and true friends we take for granted; and it is easy to make up list of things selfishly loved-happy and pleas ure giving picnics, parties. presents, and sports of all kind.
 Directly the Angel of Pity influences a child, we find unselfish love. Few chill dren will pass a beggar. or an ill-clad child, without feeling moved, and will frequently implore for a penny to give. We know the result of touching story how tears will dim the sm9l listeners
