There are some things men never

their experience in romance is one
OF them.
Unfortunate is the man who belongs
to nobody and has nobody who loves
him and belongs to him only. A man
may enjoy being rover-at home
wherever he may happen to hang up
his hat-yet he has the feeling Of
always being stranger, that there
is no one to miss him when he goes,
no one who would be happy were he
to stay. II he is i'll or weighed down
by grief or care there is no loving
companion, no second self, to whisper
| his hopes or fears to: no one who
cares whether he succeeds in life or
staggers along under his heavy load
and fails; no one who cares whether
he has warm bed or sleeps out under
the cold, white light Of the stars
Parents must go from a man in the
course Of time. Brothers and sisters
drift the whole wide world apart,
finding other heart ties, friendships
run their lengths and lapse, but the
wife of his bosom keeps close by his
side to the very end. The older he
grows the more indispensable she be-
comes to him.
The man Of middle age pays him
self doubtful compliment In declar.
ing himself heart-whole and fancy
free. Should this actually be the case
he should hasten to repair the dam
