Her Choice.

Hazel was at loss to make choice
between two young sprouts In her gar
den of love. She desired hardy plant,
one that would thrive in any soil and
under any conditions. No shadow must
prevent the sprout selected from grow
ing.
Every day could not have its full
allotment of sunshine. Which would
she choose? Either was pleasing to
the eye. Then came a day when the
wind blew hard-a draft from one end
of the country to the other.
One of the sprouts withered from the
biting blast. The other thrived and
grew as though It had been blessed
with continual sunshine. Now Hazel
is happy. Her choice has been made

a million different interests in which
any woman can absorb herself.
Why should any woman sit at home
and gloom when the whole outside
world beckons to her to come and
help do her part in it. to absorb her
self in its interests, and to reap its
rewards?
A woman complained to me not very
long ago that she never saw new
play, although she was devoted to the
theater, because her husband would
never take her cut at night.
What's the matter with going TO
the matinee YOURSELF" | asked her.
You've got two perfectly good
chances a week to see any play you
want to, and it's your own fault If
you don't 60"
But apparently this simple solu-
ton of the problem didn't appeal to
the woman. She preferred to stay at
home and feel herself neglected.
Another neglected wife, who lived
the life Of a hermit, had given up all
of her friends because her husband
never went out with her. She didn't
seem to realize that the more he left
her alone, the more necessary it was
to her to keep in touch with other
people and draw her friends closer
about her. So little by little she with
drew from society instead of plunging
into it up to her ears, and making
other people furnish to her the human
contact she missed at home.
The lot of the neglected wife is,
without doubt, a sad one, but it is
never so sad as when a woman ne
elects herself and fails to make the
best of a bad bargain.

snapped in her brain and she went

The tragedy OF the neglected wife
is always a heart rending one, but
IL depends upon the woman, herself
who is the victim OF one Of these un'
fortunate marriages, whether she will
succumb to her fate or triumph over
It.
1t is up to her to decide whether
she will let her selfish husband make
life an arid desert for her or whether
she will get busy and by her own ef-
forts, and independent Of him, make
ii blossom like the rose.
Marriage is not the whole OF the uni
verse. Neither is a husband the only
individual in it, and you can be happy
with both, or in spite of both, IL you
sweet instead Of the bitter out Of life.
There are two plans open to the
woman who finds herself in the posi-
ton Of the neglected wife. One is to
pack her trunk and buy a ticket to
Reno, and separate herself once and
for all from the husband who fails
to appreciate her, and who shows
that he is deadly tired OF her.
That Is one way out. The other
way is for the neglected wife to I'LL
