Astrologers read this as an unim-
portant day in which the planetary
influences are not decisive.
There is a faint influence helpful
to lovers during this sway. It is
held, but they may be easily deceived.
1t should be a fairly lucky rule for
entertainments, especially those for
the benefit OF charity.
Music comes under a government
OF the stars that promises much for
community concerts and outdoor sing
ing.
The signs are not eucoura ging for
travel today, especially IL journeys
have business as their motive.
Modistes and milliners have a rule
that seems TO indicate high prices
for merchandise and decreasing sales
of finer grades OF wearing apparel
The evening is not fortunate time
for army men, who should be eX-
tremely cautious about making plans.
since dangers and disappointment
seem to be foreshadowed.
Long journeys for men in high place
in the government are prognosticated
and secret missions and conferences
will be numerous during this month.
Astrologers declare that astonish-
ing events will mark the next few
months when surprises will be numer-

All at once I knew Mr.. Trent was
going to die and all at once I un-
derstood that his life had been o great
disappointment and failure.
In that moment ] knew that men
as well as women reach out for sym
pathy. and while there Is almost al
ways some good women to give 1t to
them, once in q while a man goes
to the end OF the road who has never
had the comfort and satisfaction Of
knowing what a Joy there Is in per-
feet understanding.
Little book. there are many COM
pensations for being only a few leaves
OF blank paper. You can never feel
that terrible sinking of the heart that
comes when you see someone you
love lying on the hospital cot and
being wheeled out OF your sight bay
be forever. =
or course I could not feel the love
for Mr.. Trent that l might have felt
had I really known him better, but
In my heart was an inexpressible pity
and 1 had to turn away so that he
would not see my tears. Mollie, brave
soul, although she felt quite as moved
as /, walked beside him to the door
OF the operating room and called
good luck"
"Mollie, dear, you are the bravest
and sweetest. and most dependable
woman I know" 1 whispered. She
only squeezed my hand. for then there
was no need OF keeping back the tears
as Mr.. Trent was not there to see.
Mr.. Trent never came out from the
anaesthetic. The doctors, of whom
DR.. Virot was one. told US that IL
was q miracle he had lived as long
as he had.
They did not attempt to operate
when they saw his condition and he
was soon sent back to his room and
within a half hour he ceased to
breathe.

The Value of Love
By DOROTHY DIX,


II he is madIy in love with her this
figure may be safely doubled, while
II he thinks that she is the only wom-
an in the world, and that nothing Is
good enough for her. he has practi-
cally unlimited backing and Is headed
to become a trust magnate.
This is not an exaggerated state
ment. Love for some woman has
made more men millionaires. and
raised more men from obscurity to
fame than all other causes combined
1t is a power SO great that II consti-
tutes a talent in itself.
1t is love that makes a man want
to deck his wife out in silks and dia-
monds, and give her limousines to
ride around in and place in the
sun of society; that turns lazy men
into hustIers and fires the ambition
of easy going men, and makes of them
the fighters that nothing can keep
from winning out.
Just the knowledge that a woman
believes in him and expects him to
succeed nerves a man up TO do his
very best. just as the knowledge that
his wife Is Indifferent to him and will
nag him, and twit him with his fail
ures. saps hs energies and paralyzes
his courage. A quiet, peaceful happy
home Is such an element in a mans
achievements: a tender, affecuonate
loving wife is such an inspiration to
him. that II is a wonder even selfish
women who care for only what they
can get out OF their husbands, have
not sense enough to see that in failing
to give a man any appreciation they
are literally starving to death the
goose that lays the golden egg
\ cheerful, loving wife is money in
mans pocket. A fretful unloving
wife is the first aid to bankruptcy,
ana thus it happens that love means
The Washington herald., 1918-04-05

What 10 the cash value Of love?
How much would you take for the
love Of your husband? At what price
would you sell the love of your wife?
How many dollars would you take
for the alteration of your children?
How much for the friendship OF the
men and women Of your little circle .?
So far the only attempts that have
ever been made to give love q market
rating have been in breach Of prom
ise suits where forsaken dAmsels have
valued the loss of the affection OF
their faithless suitors, and the con-
seQuent damage to their hearts, at
sums that have ranged all the way
from 800, 900 down to 5000.
That these estimates have generally
been considered excessive. and have
been literally cut down by the juries,
is not to be considered as constituting
q standard of value for love. Most OF
US are inclined to be cynical regard
ing the wounds TO affection that can
only be healed by an application Of a
yellowback pOultice.
Yet for all that love Is not listed
among the negotiable securities and
there is no Cupid Consolidated Mutual
Affection or Union Devotion quoted
over the tape. still love has an actual
cash value, and is one of the most
valuable assets any man or woman
can possess.
Nor does this refer to any senti-
mental consideration. or any emotional
happiness that one may get out OF
being loved. 1t is simply a cold, hard
business proposition that the ability
. fl a
factor in anyone's practical success
in the world as is any other talent
or gift.
Consider this. Who are the people
whom we help and push on to fortune
Are they the worthy? The most de-
serving? The most needy. Not at all
1t Is the people whom we like. Who
are the ones we boost up the ladder ?
The especially gifted? The unusually
fit? Not a bit of it. 1t is those who
have charm. and have a way with
! them that wins our affection.
Genius allied to an unpleasing per-
sonality still starves in garrets, while
agreeable mediocrity has golden op-
portunities thrown in its way. All of
US do things for people because VIC
like them that we wouldn't do for them
because it is their due to save their
lives.
There are plenty Of men who might
have capitalized their friendship at
A,OO0,00O without being guilty of in
tlating its value a penny.
The most forcibIe illustrations, how
ever, that the world affords of the
real cash value of love is to be found
in the domestic relationship. A rough
estimate of the worth of a genuine
case of affection for his wife, would
3un the capital on which any man

II is Just as important that men
should know of proper methods in
advance OF motherhood. Suffering
pain and distress incident to child
birth can be avoided by having at
hand a bottle OF the time-honored
preparation, Mothers Friend. This is
q penetrating external application that
relieves the tension upon the muscles
and enables them to expand without
painful strain upon the ligaments and
nerves.
Thousands OF women for over half
a century who have used Mother $
Friend tell how they entirely avoided
nervous spells and nausea and pre-
served a bright, happy disposition that
reflects wonderfully upon the charac-
ter and disposition OF the little one
soon to open its eyes in bewilderment
At the joy Of his arrival.
By regular use Of Mothers Friend
during the period the muscles are
made and kept pliAble and elastic.
They expand easier when baby arrives,
and pain and danger at tha crisis Is
naturally less.
You can obtain Mothers Friend at
any drug store. II Is for external
use only. Is absolutely safe and won
derfully effective. Write to the Brad
held Regulator Co, Z 90 Lamar Bldg.

So far as women are concerned. hus-

is common marital joke that the
man who quarrels with his wife has

men do not know Is that when women
are unhappy they take to extraya-

As long as q woman believes In her

SO often at the window that so much
money has to come in at the door.
As long as a man tells his wife
that to him she Is the most beautiful
woman In the world, she will wear

1t Is queer but true, that a woman's
affection for a man can be accurately

very first symptom that a girl shows

she begins to be mercifuI toward his
