A HAND, NOT HEART, GIVEN.

Love comes to some with smiling eyes.
And comes with tears to some;
For some Love sings, for som Love
signs,
For some Loves lips are dumb.
1t is just and understood that q
man should contemplate marriage
when he meets the right girl that ap-
peals to him. But before he takes her
for his bride, it is we'll that he should
fully realize If she ia marrying him
for the sake of ease, fine home and
has in her mind that he shall accu'
mulate wealth.
If the lover is wise and far-seeing,
he will try his best to find out wheth-
er the coming union Is to be n Of
pure devotion-an even exchange OF
hearts. When he is ready to give up
his coy, but small, bedroom at a
boarding place that has made him
feel at home for years, and take up
the responsibility of home fitting, he
considers that he and she will both
be benefited by the union.
The temptation comes to him to ex.
pend all that he possibly can, and he
often oversteps what he q afford,
working early and late that the shell
tering roof may please the woman OF
his choice.
Most men are martyrs by choice to
their family's wants. They do not
mind how much they have to ~curtail,
what inconvenience, nay. downright
sacrifices they have to make so long
as their loved one are enjoying pleas
ure, happiness and contentment
But IL the wife is never satisfied
unless packing her trunk for an out
ing, or visit here and there, 1t Is not
a great while until the rueful husband
will be practically homeless. Friends
quietly make her understand that 1t
appears heartless and a triie selfish
to leave a husband by himself often,
when he Is in need Of home COM
forts. One of her welded girl chums
writes her a few lines in a letter tell.
ing how happy her experience Of just
a few years of matrimony has turned
out to be. Il have my hubby's per.
mission to go away quite Often" she
concludes, "but 1t does not seem right
to leave q man to the temptations Of
gay life, with no n about to guard
him against unwise influences"
This wife struck against the rock
which has ruined full many a happy
home. When a woman Is run down in
health, or has children who would be
greatly benefited by a change Of air
that might prevent sickness, we all
know the course she adopts in leav.
ing her hearthstone a little while IL
eminently praiseworthy.
But the woman who has little to oc'
cupy her attention, month in and
month out, except to go to euchre
clubs and matinees to kill time in the
pursuit Of pleasure, while the husband
Is shaving away to make money for
her maintenance has little II any need
for recreation. Pleasures of this kind
turn at last into scourges Of dissatis-
faction. which lash after a time.
Plainly 1t can be supposed that she
had given her hand and not her heart.
This lays foundation for many sepa-
rations, which often follow. Outsid.

May has divided criminals into two

Selflshness or the desire to make a
