BEFORE HUBBY COMES HOME.

II is often Il difficult matter for n
man To forget a girl with whom he has
been Smittcn though another has wOocd
and won her, and Il that. The sensible
philosophical fellow tears her image
from his bosom though his heart be at
the root"
The man who is lacking in the right
Kind of judgment brOods over the loss
of his old sweetheart. lie is like Il
moth that would hover about the flame
and would keep her ever in remcm-
branCe of him by continually putting
man who has his daily bread to earn
has surcense from Grieving in hard
work, which brings him fOrgetfulneSs.
1t is the discarded lover with plenty
Of money and nothing TO do who wan
ders into miSchiefs path. He does not
think il amiSS to stroll past his Old
Swcetheart's cottage home and stop at
the gate for chat to learn how she's
getting along. He sits on her porch re-
calling events of the days that are gone.
1t is this sort of man who always
evadeS invitations to wait until hubby
comes home. He avoids meeting her
alleged lord, making all sorts OF eX-
cuses. which it never occurs to al in
nOCent woman to disbelieve.
He is the serpent who enters Eden.
If he fails to wreck the home it is
certainly not his fault. Men of this
type who call repeatedly and unwant-
ed, imposing upon the good nature of
the woman who fears TO let him know
she would rather have his room than
his company because he invariably
leaves before hubby comes, are danger
Gus persons. The longer she keeps
from calling the matter TO her nus
bands attention the worse she is off.
There are some neighbOrs who will
gossip whether they have reason TO or
not. No young wife should feel delicacy
or be backward in telling a one-time
admirer of this type that her after.
moons are not for her to receive male
callers. If they desire to visit her
home, they must come when her hus-
band is at leisure to receive and do
his share of entertaining them.
This course of action would put n
stop to the inclination of dishon0r-
able free lance to think of rifling an-
other mans home of its honor and its
treasure. Many innocent and thought
less women are drawn into snares
through their reluctance to speak out
bravely or deny themselves to such
callers.
An honorable mans interest in girl
should cease with her marriage to an
other. If 1t appears to increase after
she has become bride. 1t should be
warning that he is deliberately putting
temptation in her way. He knows the
husband would not tolerate his. calls.
The man with no business who can
drop in any time for chat takes
mean and unfair advantage of the man
who has to work. 1t is for the wife to
guard her husbands interests sacredly,
realize the position in viii II she is
placing not only him. but herself. Ii
is not compliment for wife to have
an old lover still hanging around.

UNLOVEO SOLDIER BoYS.

If there is one class of men more
than others who have difficulty in find
ing a sweetheart it is n soldier boy.
Not but that the girls admire him, but
he has little opportunity to pursue his
wooing. He cannot be on hand to take
a girl TO entertainments and dances
when he would like. His hours off
duty are hampered. He must keep
early hours and be in his quarters at
an hour which would be the edge of
the evening for other young men.
If the parents and friends of the
girl he would WOO and win are over
ambitious, he has his own difficulties
In endeavoring to convince them that
a soldier would make a good husband.
No matter how poor a young working
man may be, he may become rich and
prosperous. The soldier has much to
contend with in his struggle for adj
vancement.
For this reason, many worthy
young army man makes the determina-
ton that he will advance to q certain
position ere he allows even the
thought of womankind to disturb the
even tenor of his way. He thinks love

exchange of letter so dear to the heart
Of lonely man. He envieS his COM
rades of the barracks when they are
distributed. 1t puts new life In some.
The hardness of the expected letter
makes others despair.
The soldier lad who has no sweet
heart, no woman to love him, turns
away from the happy group who are
reading their love letters with lump
In his throat and tears In his eyes.
Love makes or mars q mans life. If
there is a sweetheart praying for his

him. He will not squander his money

White goods sales in January have
become an established custom In dry

this time they make the best showing
of the year in cotton and linen yard
goods, presenting their new stocks
