THE ART
OF LOVE
ALecture on How to Secure
a Husband
By r. A. mitchell

Mrs. Matilda Robbins, a widow of
nifty, who had buried four husbands,
announced that,she would give private
lectures In the ,parlor of her home to
young ladies' on how to get husbands.
A lecture would be given every Friday
afternoon ut 3 o'clock.
On the first afternoon numerous
audience were gathered in the lectur-
cr'S parlor.
Mrs. Robbins spoke as follows:
Young ladies'. you have doubtless de
rived your ideas as to woman's part
In courtship from novels, and that il
the reason why you are not married.
The heroine of novel Is usually so
modest that she doesn't dare say her
souls her own. There's more accom-
plished In this world In other fields be-
sides matrimony by assurance than
modesty and more accomplished by
management than by assurance.
The best way to teach is by example.
Therefore ! shall pvt this lecture in
the form of story. But it's real
story, not an invention. The heroine
didn't sit round and look pretty. She
was up and doing. That's what we
must all be In this world If we want to
get on. Do you suppose young fel-
low who wants a position whereby to
start fortune sits round and waits
for 1t? No. he goes out and hunts for
II. And when he gets 1t does he mod
estly wait for somebody to tell him

coed. He does everything without be-
ing told and before it's wanted That's
the part of Il young fellow starting out
to fix himself in the world, and you
young ladies' should act on the same
principle.
Now for my story of the way one
young lady secured husband
Her name was Jones, Sarah Jones,
just plain Sarah Jones, not Maltravers
or MOntmorency, like the heroines Of
novels. or Gwendolin or Jaquelin for a
first name A girl doesn't need high
sounding name to get husband; she
needs something that Pm going to tell
you about Sarah Jones the day she
was eighteen sat down and did n Job
Of thinking. She wasn't long about 1t,
for she was an acting girl, and when
she had got her thinking done she act
cd at once on her decision. That de
cision was that her place was In a
home as wife and the mother Of
children.
Sallle Jones didn't go at things blind
ly; she thought them out beforehand.
She knew that she couldn't get mar
ried II restricted to the society of girls.
SO she Joined dancing class. She
couldn't afford It, but she had to af-
ford 1t. and whatever has to be done
is done II the party to do 1t is of the
right stuff She had her eye fixed on
that dancing class. and she Joined
without knowing where the money to
ply her way was to come from. There
were twenty young men members and
twenty five girls.
Miss Jones realized that there Is
safety In numbers but for the man she
was inter. not for her. She didn't go
foollng about among the twenty men.
She picked out a steady young fellow
and made up her mind to land him.
His name was Abel Rogers. Nothing
romantic about his name either.
Rogers didn't have anything except
what he was getting together himself,
but he was frugal and hard worker.
The first thing Sallie did was to let
