so pronounced that it distorts their
( opinions and prevents an unbiased
judgment This is certainly true when
II comes to the consideration of the
evidence Of the existence Of a super
physical world. Many persons dog
matically declare, without any investi-
cation whatsoever, that such a world
does not exist, not realizing that opin-
ions based on prejudices are valUeless,
and that, as they are unacQuainted
with the cant that all those who have
been made, their statements carry no
weight whatever. It is significant that
all those who have studied carefully
the available evidence affirm their con-
exist"
Philosophical investigation of this
unseen realm has shown that it is
composed of several interpenetrating
regions or worlds, of which only two,
however, are Of practical Importance
in this preliminary study. These two
subtle worlds are contained one with
in the other, the solid physical earth
being embodied in the very heart of
the two.
Two Vast Spheres.
We may think of them as two vast
spheres surrounding the earth not un-
like a giant atmosphere, yet at the
same time permeating everywhere the
physical matter of the earth with the
same ease that water VapOr spreads
through the air. one sphere is larger
than the other. and therefore extends
much further out into space, but both
Of them surround us all of the time,
although we are normally unconscious
OF their existence AS the earth swings
through space, following its pathway
around the sun, these spheres move
with it just as does the physical at
mosphere.
Thus strange as it may seem, we
are living in three worlds at once, and
we shall find. if we continue our
studies, that human evolution is init
mately connected with all three. These
subtle words are as objective and
real to those conscious of them as
the earth is real to us, and we should
not think of them as shadowy unreaH-
ties because unknown to the physical
senses-Copyrigh 1915, Star Company

Why My Wife Left Me
The Man How He Lost Happiness.
By DOROTHY DIX
By DOROTHY DIX.

LLT LOST my WIFE said the lawyer
through drink. Believe me,
Il Cleopatra was not the only sin
ner who has dissolved a priceless pearl
in the wine cup, and quaffed it down.
I'VE hear a great deal about the
drunkards wife, whose love never
wavers. no matter how low the man
sinks. and who can still see her hus-
band as the hero If her girlish dreams.
even when he wallows in the gutter,
but I wonder il that isn't fairy tale
that men have invented for their own
consolation. l wonder if any WOmans
love ever survives the disiIusionment
OF seeing the man she is married to
turned by drink into maudIin, besot-
ted beast.
Certainly my wifes affection was
not of the kind that can drape the
pink chiffon of Imagination about
Keeling, senseless, speechless drunk
ard and see IN MIN a figure of rO-
nance. She was a delicite, refined,
sensitive woman, and when L was in
my cups every fiber in her revolted
from me.
when we were married was a
young lawyer, had already begun to
make my way in the world, and had
every prospect of success. We set up
a charming little home. My wife was
a capital manager, and anxious to help
me in every way, and no young couple
could have looked forward with more
assurance to happy life together.
Il had always been little too fond
Of drink. The habit had not got me
at the time of my marriage, but 1 had
got the habit, if 1 may make the dis
tinctiOn. l didn't get drunk, but took
just enough to get what Jack London
calls joyfully spifflicated.'
His Wife SneaEg About Il
Soon after our marriage my wife
spoke to me about this, but L assured
her with fatuous self-cOnfidence that
knew just when to stop, and that L
could break off whenever L wanted to,
and that to drink a certain amount
and be a good fellow helped me along
with my business, because it brought
me in close contact with certain men
who controlled big interests. She
looked the doubt she felt, but said
nothing more.
when our first baby came my wife
went down into the Valley of the
Shadow, and when she came back she
brought with her a tiny, frail little
creature, in whose frame the spark of
life glimmered so feebly that only a
mothers incessant devotion could
keep it alight.
Il was passiOnately in love with my
wife and frantic with anxiety about
her, and, like many another man I'M
der such circumstances, 1 tried to
drown my fears and anguish in drink.
The night that my wife was fighting
with death 1 was pouring drink after
drink down my throat, and when with
her first conscious breath she asked
for me J. who should have been stand
ing by her side, was lying in drunk
en- stupor in the back room of a
saloon. had failed her at the great
crisis of our lives.

IN her WOman-WlSe way made allow
ances for me, but her face, when I
was sober enough to be admitted to
her presence, wore for the first time
the look of sorrow that 1 was never
to see out of her eyes again. It was
the look that every drunkard's wife
wears.
The Downward Path.
My wife had TO give most of her
time and attention to the care of our
sickly little baby, and I got into the
way OF spending my evenings at the
club and in saloons, and before 1 real
lied it l had passed from being a mod
crate drinker into being a hard drink
er, and the habit that 1 had boosted
that could control controlled me
What followed is the old story 1
became drunkard. 1 lost my prac-
uce. 1 lost all of my friends who
were worth while. The money that
should have gone to the support of
my family went over the bar We
moved and moved and moved, each time
to cheaper and poorer place. Our
furniture and clothes became shabbier
and shabbier. We became the typical
drunkard's family.
At first 1 was ashamed to come
home drunk. and would sleep off my
carOuSe in my office, or at some hotel.
Then I lost all shame. and my wife
saw me reeling, lettering, maudlin, my
eyes bleary. my mouth dribbling, my
clOLneS IlLny, surely the most dis
gushing sight on earth to a woman of
delicacy and refinement.
She knew what it was to watch
and wait through long nights for the
coming of a stumbling step. She
knew what it was to open the door
for man whose fumbling hand could
not even find the latch. She knew
what it was to help a big. strong
thing in the shape of a man-who had
lost all manhood-to bed, there to
slumber in a doped sleep. with open
mouth and stertorous breathing until
his alcoholized brain awOke to life
again.
MY wife stood all of this with the
patience of an angel for few years.
She stood it until her every effort to
reform me had failed, and her every
hope was dead, and then she left me
The shock OF her going sobered me so
that I have never taken a drink since
but my reformation came too late. ]

me, and L could no more bring them

Everybody Is
Lonely
Instead Of Being Reticent Try
to Be Friendly to Those
More Lonely Than
You Are.
BY BEATRICE FAIRFAX.

~ EVERAL years ago I read a clever
little book, the heroine Of which
- turned herself from a wallflower
to bell Of the ball through magic
secret which her godmother impaired
to her The secret was ''Everybody's
lonely"
Everybody IS lonely. Almost every
thing we do. whether for good or ILL.,
points directly to this fact. We all
seek companionship and understand
ing, and we take almost any means to
get it,
The solitary girl on the excursion
boat VINO permits common looking
man to talk to her doesn't do 1t be-
cause Of any bold or unmaidenly ten
denotes. She does it because she is
lonely and longs for comnanionship,
and the force of her teellng lmpels
her to take uudiscriminatingly the
first friendly hand that is held out to
Boy from the Country.
The boy who comes up from the
country and falls in with evil com
uanions doesn't do it because Of any
vicious tendencies. He simply Graves
scme one to talk to and go about with,
some one to give him a little affec-
tion and good will.
When I was quite a young girl
stumbled down the steps Of the high
school I attended and slid ignOmtni-
ously down the slOping uath that led
to the gate. Everybody laughed, so
] laughed, too. in spite of 0ain that
fairly brought the tears to my eyes.
A bow in one Of the higher classes set
me on my feet again. gathered up my
scattered belongings and offered a
word of friendly sympathy He was
a good looking youth avoided bv all
the girls because ne was So Osed TO
be fast" OF course, after that day
always nodded TO my rescuer NV
girl friends who had been in the
habit of looking studiously the other
way began to bow to him too Then
the boys. who had Joined in the boy
colt on hiTn. began to talk to him and
90 about with him. Within a year
he had actually become one Of us, and
when he asked me to 90 to his com
mencement exercises with him ne
cCnffded to my mother that he had
been the lOnesomest boy IN town the
first two years after they moved there.
Goes with Wrong Ones
He just didn't seem to meet any Of
the right Young folks. so he began to
20 about with the wrong ones. But
the minute the decent chaps he always
wanted to know, and the nice girls
whose recognition he had lOnged for,
offered him any hope that he might
some day be one of them he gave up
all his evil comnaniOns.
"EverybOdy's lonely As a result
any one who smiles pleasantly looks
good to him. But / wouldn't dream Of

boys and girls Of good character drift
into bad society if good society doesn't

Every body's lonely" Remember
that, and instead Of being shy and
reticent, try being friendly to some
one else who probably is far lOnelier
than you are.

Relates Strange Experience.
After her return she related strange
experiences, saying that she was taken
by spirit guides to beautiful regions,
where she saw and heard so much that
was interesting and uplifting that she
dreaded to return to her body. She
stated that she was conscious, that
her body was being prepared for burial,
and tried to speak to her family on
Spouse.
In the same city the wife Of
prominent EpiscOpalian clergyman
went through a similar spiritual adj
venture The integrity and honesty Of
both are above question. Many people
are asking what these experiences can
mean.
They mean simply that the spirit
goes out Of the body into adjoining
planes Cor states of consciousness),
but that the spiritual cord is not sew

to the Lords of Karma" the spirit re-
turns TO the body to finish out the
incarnation.
There are so many such cases on
record that it seems an evidence of
Wilful ignorance to doubt them or to
regard them as mere Authorizations.

TINCE the home IS the foundation

while for individuals who establish
homes to make some personal sacrifice
of time and impulse, to create a solid
bed rock for that foundation.
The lover finds it easy. to show an
interest in the most frivolous or fem

to admire her embroidery; to listen to
her singing or to help her fix up her

happy sense of co-partnership in all
her dOings?
Ready To Be Taught.
Every wife, as a rule, is ready to
( be taught something of her husbands
business or professional affairs; enough
to make her understand his ambitions
and sympathiZe with his trials But it
is only the occasional wife who has
the perception to understand the deli
cate difference between sympathizing
and interfering with a mans affairs.
Perhaps it is because of this danger of
interference that so few men make their
wives acquainted with their business
lives. And this is point on which
women need training.
tactful man can SO train the wom-
an he loves, before marriage. by praise
of other women who have shown the
art OF helping their husbands by the
right attitude of mind and the right
methods of action Surely there is
nothing too much trouble, nothing too
time taking. which may lead to a sue
Cessful marriage, It is the important
work of the human race For what is
the worth of successful art or success
full business. what is the worth Of
peace, power and prosperity in a ma
ton, what is the use of international
arbitration unless that nation is found
cd on happy, clean, harmonious homes?
One Danger.
One danger which menaceS the
American and meuaces happy home
life, is the alarming tendency of the
present generation to avoid parentage.
Young married people in good health.
with good brains and bodies 20 trans
nit to offspring, and wives who might
be the proud mothers of statesmen or
beautiful daughters, frequently impair
their health and beauty rather than ac-
cept the responsibilities of motherhood
Here again we find the reflex action
Of mind; for often these wives are
daughters of mothers who have borne
too many children and have missed the
happiness Of youth and the relaxation
a perfect home should give in the never
ceasing cares of a large family I do
not know what the statistics state re
garding the relative number of divorces
among childless people and those who
are parents. but I do know that nature
intended marriage to be followed BY
parentage as naturally as summer fol
lows spring
And I know that even the sad ex-
pcrience of motherhood which lasts but
q few brief hours often makes a new
and indescribably sacred bond of affec-
tiOu between man and Wife. There are
many happy marriages where no chill
dren are. it is true, yet the wife who
has never felt the stirring of a little
being under her heart has missed one
of LIES and loves most wonderful ex-
periences.-(COpyright 1915, by Star
