SENTIMENT VERSUS sENTi.
MENTALITY

was profoundly touched by Din
Tenney'a letter. little book. After
reading Il. liked him better than
| ever did before.
At heart. poor old Rill was kind.
ly and good.
What a beautiful idea that Is of
his OF making mo feel that I. poor
useless log that ] am. can help
Donna.
wager that he has made Donna
think that need her.
guess no Ia right. We need each
other. but his letter tells me bet.
ter than ! have ever known, what
hts attraction has been 10 women.
lie always made them feel Of i'm
/ portance In his life lie let them
understand that each one OF them
could do something for him that
no other could
lie gave each one a chance TO
exercise her maternal instincts.
Some men. little book. have rnas-
tered this side OF womsn's char
acter, and because of II they al.
ways win out with them.
Woman's education is most OF II
wrong--becauHc of a tradition that
sentimentality Is virtue IN won.
en- She Ia piled with eenumen.
taiity from the time she can talk.
: II Is only HtronR character
that can reach womanhood with
out being sentimental under these
circumstances
There Is great difference be-
tween sentiment and ssntimental.
/ ity. and | sometimes think that II
just the difference between men
and women.
Thru different standards OF liv.
| Ing. thru different standards OF ed
ucation and thru different environ
ment men acquire moro or less
sentiment. which IL the lofty aud
/ beautiful ideal that leaVens their
whole sonabcr existence. and WON
en- acquire scntInentalliy. which Is
7 the petty and foolish desire which
/ makes everything but romance a
tlresome hiatus in their lives.
/ Every time I stop to anaiyEe my
friends or myself feel this more
and more.
Here am I. Margis waverly. ~.
/ Tag here inveighlns against fate
because. forsooth. know that |
will never know again the nervc-
/ racking experience OF romantic
love- nothing but pure scntimen-
talism." ! know you would say II
! ypn could talk. end you. little book.
@culd speak the truth.
Dick. on the other hand. has for
/ gotten there rs such n word as
romance He has buried II. AZ a
dog does q bone. in the marvellous
.forgettery" OF his. while he goes
proving around very much inter.
ested In the numerous battles OF
life that ara near At hand.
He brings all his sentiment to
bear upon his business. He tells
himself that he Is dolng this be-
cause he loves Mrs Seiwin and
me.
But you only have to look at
him to know he loves the game.
The fight n like the scent OF
blood in his nostriis. He In out 10
win. whether we. the women he is
interested In. will be helped by his
victory or not.
More and more feel tina, our
daughters should be educated and
made TO understand. - men are
made to understand. that romantic
love IL only a par, OF life. More
and more I know that Ii one OF the
greatest facts OF existence.
have told this to you before,
little book. perhaps moro than
once. but here on this bed OF pain
I realize II az I never have before.
Romantic love has fled from me.
and am like a cockieshell on q
fast flowing river. driven here and
there without will By the slightest
breeze.
The same thing has happened to
Dick--romsntic love r. no more
with him. vet he Ia stronger and
better for the experience He sees
greater and more wonderful life
stretch out before him. Life looks
good 10 him.
He really lives. I only long to
love.
