cHoUohdI temperature gong down
from fever heat to subnormal
Begin with the absence. II YOU are
IN love with your employer, resign your
position and get work with some other
man who doesn't set your pulses a
tlutter every time he walks past your
desk or by your counter Remove your
sell from the zone oi temptation. n
YOU had malaria, or tuberculosis, your
ilrSt thought would be to get out of
the injected area as quickly as pos
Nble, and into pure uncontamlna'ed
air
The same principle holds as good
IN working mental cure as IT does
IN a physical cure Don't stay where
your love is continually famed into a
llame by tender glanceS and whispered
woQlug and all the arts and vile, that
Cupid uses to bring hearts together.
Il is a bromide that propinuqity is the
tirSt and TO love and that absence IS
the underS,udy OF arrangement. Both
are true. Therefore, If YOU really de
sire TO be healed OF an III starred pas
sion that can bring you nothing but
misery, give 1t the absence treatment
Next, apply little human sympathy
10 the wife whom YOU are proposing
to rob OF her husband. and the chill
dren whose father YOU desire To take
from them That is something that
YOU don't LEI your mind dwell much
upon You Slur over the wife IN your
thoughts as a fat, Jealous old thing
who isn't half so fitted to be the mans
mate a. YOU are IN your youth and
beauty and up-to dstencSS And the
chlldren-vou SIMPLY won't permi, YOUR.
self To think OF them at all
Believe me. little sister. there's no
better antdute for love for a married
man than just forcing your thoughts
tc dwell on the agony that another
woman is suffering when she sees the
man that she has given her hear, and
her lie 10, the man she has worked
ior and sacrificed for, the man she has
borne children to, being taken from her
by younger and prettier woman.
Just dwell on tina, picture, and that
of a home with its fires pu, out, its
little children made fatherleSs by YOU,
and II YOU can still enjoy doing what
/ YOU are doing why YOU are a woman
who lives too late You would have
enjoyed being Chief Tor,urer in the
| lnQuiSition
Third use little clear vision. Strip
the pink chiiionS OF your silly girliSh
dreams from before your eyes and try
to look at the man, not as your fancy
paints him, hut as he really is. Turn
the Searchligh, on him and YOU will
see him not a. hero OF romance. but
as miserable, contemplate weakling
who. To crafty his own selfish pleas
ure, lS willing to sacrifice the happi
ness OF two women, his wife and your.
/. self
See him as he is, a traitor who can
keep faith with none. What is there to
love IN the man who has so little
strength oi character he cannot stand
up and do his duty by his family when
he is tempted by pretty face, and
who has so little nobility OF soul tina,
he IS willing to let Young and gen.
erouS.hear,ed girl ruin her life fcS hi,
Sake'
Keep on thinking abou, the married
man that YOU are IN love with. m,
dear Think about him hard. bu, think
straight, Think Of him as doing the
meanest thing on earth, taking adysn.
tage Of his relationship to YOU to win
your heart when he knew he could xiv,
YOU nothing in return for Il: think oI
what lies his pto,es,a,ion Of affection
for YOU mus, be when he is urging YOU
to do the very thing that he woult
shoot another man for proposing to hi,
own daughter.
Think OF him as a Self.ceutered ego
tist who is willing to rob you OF IN,
chances OF happy love, and home, ant
children, and respee,abil,y. and al
,ha, makes life worth living for /,
woman, Just for his own diversion
