with hope forever balancing like
teeter board, now up, then down, I'M
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 trusting,
inexperienced young heart and then
trifle 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 a 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 thought or care that
he is leaving a breaking heart behind
him.
The greatest trial forsaken sweet
heart can face is meeting her one-time
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 a bitterness pitiful to
live through and smile as though his
oblivion to her presence was matter
of equal Indifference to her.
I 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 dance, or sits out the
evening a forlorn wallflower 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 l 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." He's not the right
one. I'll not dim my eyes with tear
on his account. A tickle lover would
prove a more despicable husband. A
good man for me, one who loves me
and whom 1 could not drive from me
If | would, or none. He who can trans
fer his affections as easily as he can
change his hats is not worth grieving
over"

OTHER WOMAN'S WAY.

Each on his own strict line, we move,
And some find death e'er they find love;
So far apart their lives are thrown
From the twin souls that halve their
own;
And sometimes, by still harder fate,
The lovers meet, but meet too late.
Thy heart is ninei True, true, ah true,
The love thy hand! All, no, a6ieu!
When in a batch of some 600 letters
one finds 81 from wives complaining of
the elasticity of their husbands hearts
each putting forth the same query:
,"How do these other women gain such
influence ?'-much as l dislike the sub
ject, these correspondents cannot be
ignored.
When a woman has passed success
fully through tender courtship, which
has resulted in marriage, It seems to
me she has passed the crisis Of uncer-
tainty as to how to win and hold a
mans affection against all corners.
These letters, many of them tear
stained, all betray the same wonder
ment, What mystical charm does the
other woman possess to undermine the
happiness and sanctity of the home
and the wife,"
From all that / can see or hear, can
learn by tale or history and patient re-
search, the facts, shorn of their ro-
nance and roseate glow, seem to re-
solve into this truth: The woman who
lives by her wits makes the art of
charming her life study. Very often
the wife, in her zeal to make children
and home ali that they should be, neg
iects her own personal appearance.
The woman who has no tangible
hold on a man knows that it is fatal to
look unIovely in his eyes. She is
dainty to the smallest detail. A wife
dares 20 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

Passes Away With Indians
March Toward Progress.
Relics of Red Mans Former History
Disappear as He Adopts the Archl-
lecture of the White Man-Ex-
ampIes of Patience.

Chickasha, Okla.-The grass houses
in which the Wichita Indians lived
were. until few years ago, one OF
the most common sights of the res
ervation in Caddo county, Ii miles
west of this city, but they are being
rapidly displaced by the white man
house. At the present time there are
only four left in the entire reserVa-
ton.
These grass houses represent IN
dian ingenuity, patience and skill per-
haps more than any other relic re-
naming of their wild life on the pral-
RE. They were built by the squaws
and took months of preparation before
they were ready for occupancy, Dut
when finished offered the Indian war
rior a secure retreat against all KINDS
of weather.
The suuaws commenced their work
early in spring by selecting a num-
Der of tall young trees that would
serve as poles. Usually elm or pc
can trees were chosen. They were
stripped of bark, sharpened at one
end and laid in the sun to season
during the summer and fall The
bark was torn into strips and put to
dry.
When this was done the squaws'
work was finished for time. When
fall came they would go along the
swamps and rivers where the grass
grows tall, strong and wiry, ana
would collect bundle after bundle OF
this grass just as it began to dry.
After the grass was all collected
it was made into bundles, all of the
same size, and all packed as solid as
wood. so as to resist the rains ana
SHOWS of winter. Then the squaws
were ready to begin the actual build
| ing of the home.
The first step was for the Indian
brave to decide just where he wished
his new home to stand. When this
was decided on, the squaws drew a
large ring just the size that the new
house would be when completed, ana
| in this ring they set the poles, three
feet apart. d.
The poles were all brought together
at tho top in the center OF the house
and securely dashed together with
strips of bark. Outside of this frame
was covered with network of bark
strips to hold the poles secure in their
places and to form foundation upon
which to fasten the grass.
Then the tedious work began. The
bundles of grass were fastened to
these strips so close together that it
was impossible for any rain to pass
through and the Indian might feel
himself safe from any storm.
The last stage of the house was
the hanging of the door. Il was made
in the same way as the rest of the
house, and was in separate piece
hung from the top of hole cut for
a doorway.
a hole was also cut in the south
side of the house to carry off the
smoke from the fireplace, which con
sisted of deep hole dug in the ex
act center of the house. When this
was all done the house was com
pleted.
With plenty of help from sister
squaws the mistress of the house was
able to finish her home within three
weeks after the work of putting il
together actually began.

Washington.-Eve the oldest in
habitant of Port au Prince, Haiti,

when the Haitian tropics received the
baseball scores every evening.

thought Of the blue Caribbean and
scorching semi-equatorial sunshine

fact, just the same. ta
Not only baseball scores, but the
latest word about the kaiser and the

The officers and men of Uncle Sans

Every night the days news is boiled
down to 200 words and is telegraphed
to the naval wireless station at Key
West, Fla. Then the wireless sparks
begin to Jump and out over the gulf,

Capt. w. H. Billiard, superintendent
of the naval radio service, is the man

Only officers and sailors who are thou

this kind.
The men are more interested in the
baseball scores of the National and
American leagues than in any other
point of the days news. The latest
boiler explosion west of Pittsburgh,
however, gets their avid interest.
The naval radio service looks upon
the idea as a great development of its
resources. For several years the serv-
ice has been sending out the official
Washington time through the Airing
ton (Va.) station and the radio station
at Darien, in the Canal zone. This

MINATED HEARTS.

Sometimes in the twilight gloom apart,
The tall trees whisper, whisper heart
TO heart.
From my fond lips the eager answers
fall,
Thinking I hear thee cali.
When sweethearts are continually
pickering, falling out over the merest
trifies, it should not take sage to
convince them that they can never jog
along smoothly over life's path IL 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 a 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.
have a streak of jealousy in her ma
ture. She is perhaps exacting, and
attempts to domineer over 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. If it rains pitchforks on an
evening he is expected to call, the I'M
reasonable girl sits pouting in her
parlor, waiting for him just the same.
If it 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 a walk,
if 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 coy 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 a 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 close. She may write a
note of apology the next day, and he
may answer, quite as anxious as she
to bridge over the difficulty; the i'm
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 if they made the re-
solve from the start that each would
refuse to quarrel.

childs features had been marred for

Baby Edward was lying in cradle,

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 1t
may go against the grain. A wife
might take leaf out of the coquettes
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 reclaiming 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 APP
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 Ia
the sweetest and tenderest to whom he
turns In moments of discouragement.
Every disappointed wife should read
her own heart and daily life carefully
to see whether or no her husbands de-
linquencies do not lie at her own door.
