than she does about me-" is the COM
plant of many young fathers.
This is danger signal men con-
tempIating matrimony should be
warned to watch for Neglect Of it
has caused many wrecks.
The inevitable arrival of the baby
interrupts and often completely de-
stroys the delightful cOmpanionship
of the bride and groom. 1t upsets all
their notions Of how they were 60
ing to be all in all to each other for
ever.
But nature really assigned woman
the duties of the mother long before
civilization made women wires by
law.
Nature also evolved many kinds
of love, which can move on parallel
lines through most lives and which
do move so in the hearts of the most
perfect wives and mothers.
But sometimes it takes a young
husband long time to understand
this and meanwhile, in a hurt mood,
he drifts back to the friends and Gus
toms of his bachelor days. Thus, the
coming of the first baby, instead of
drawing the parents together, often
drives them apart.
This is the worst of all possible do
mestic tragedies. When it occurs it
is generally looked upon as the
fathers fault.
But do we not blame the father
too much? Perhaps it is high time
we considered the relation Of child
and father as of equal Importance
As soon as the young father recoV-
ers from his establishment and con-
fusion, the child becomes a stimu-
liant, not hindrance, to an ambitious
man. It not only incites man to
business success, but it becomes a
tremendous factor in character
building.
