THE OTHER WOMAN's WAY.

Each on his own strict line, we move, And some find death ere they find
 love;
 So far apart their lives are thrown From the twin souls that ha1ve their And sometimes, by still harder fate, The lovers meet, but meet too late. They heart is mine! True. true, ah
 true, The love thy hand! An, no, adieu!''
 When in batch of some 600 letters one finds s7 from wives, complaining of the elasticity of their husbands hearts leach putting forth the same query: ''How. do these other women gain such influence ?:'-much as dislike the sub ject, these correspondents cannot be ignored.
 When a woman has passed success fully through tender courtsFip, which has resulted in marriage, it seems to me she has passed the crisis of un- certainty 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, tsWhat mystical charm does the other womah possess to undermine the happiness and sanctity of the home and the wife2''
 From all that I can see or hear. can learn by tale or history and patient research, the facts, shorn of their TO- 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 of ten the wife, in her zeal to make chil- dren and home all that they should be, neglects her own personal appear ance.
 The woman who has no tangible hold on a man knows that it is fatal to look unloveIy in his eyes. She is dainty to the smallest detail. A wife da-res to differ with her husbands s opinions. The charmer hears him say blackis white. and that water runs up hill instead of down, and srni1ing1y agrees with him though in the depths of her heart she would give much to be able to give him good scathing tongue flashing now and then, to let him know the contempt which even she holds him in. | sweet. docile and sympathetic, betting and fonding, no matter hom w1ch it may go against the grain. 4 wife might take a leaf out of the CO., quette's note book and study ways of successful charming with excellent re- suits.
 Unless a husbands heart has slipped away from her altogether she may still have the hope of retaining him, tearing away the poison ivy which has twined himself around him and is ehnging to him tenaciously refusing to be uprooted.
 The wife of the tickle, truant hus- band should first study her own. ap- pearance, make herself. fair to look upon Her treatment of her husband should be loving and gentle. NShe 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 a 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 betting, sympathy, love. and fondness from their wives, they know they can find it elsewhere. It is the woman who is the sweetest and tenderest to whom he turns in moments of GaEN couragement
 Every disappointed wife should read her own heart and daily life care fully to see whether no her hus- bands dehnquencies do not lie at her own door.
