presence. And then some one who
may not impress us as especially
sweet or charming or beautiful
happens along and we know in
stinctively that we are friends.
We understand each other. We
speak the same language. Oh, you
can't buy love with charm and
beauty any more than you can buy
it with money.
1t is one of the greatest mistakes
in the world to try and hold any
thing that is slipping away from
you. The moment there is the
faintest pull on the rope, let your
end of it go quick. 1t is a wise
plan always to anticipate the
yawns of another. People yawn
in their eyes before they put their
hands up to their mouths to hide
those large, round "Os."
The moment you see the shadow
of a yawn in the beloved's eyes,
clear out. Let it be your proud
boast that no man has ever yawn-
ed at your sallies. Let him re-
member you as one who fled, not
as one who pursued. Just spread
your bright wings, and over the
that he will stop yawning in a
hurry and think: "Heavens! How
fast she flies! And how her wings
shine in the sunlight! must up,
and after her"
You. dear girl, who have wriftSa
me, and every other girl who writes
me are playing this game of life
to win; and 1 want to do the very
best I can to help you. So, instead
Lof saying to yourself, HE has
left me, and 1 am heartbroken,"
can you not try to say, 'It was all
a mistake. He never was mine. or
he couldn't have left me. There
are better things in store for me.
There is a greater, truer love, and
a more congenial companionship.
He wasn't the right man. l admit
that it is a blow to learn this. The
lesson has hit me hard. But 1 am
not a weakling. L am not going to
give way under it, and lose all my
joy in life. With all my will, and
with all my hope 1 am going to eX-
pect and keep on expecting some
thing more beautiful and satisfying
to come into my life"
Just here. 1 can almost hear you
saying: Perhaps the right man will
never come. And l don't want to
live my life without a love COM
panionship all my own"
To which, 1 reply: Nonsense!
No woman ever had one suitor that
there were not more in the offing.
Give them a chance. The wrong
Prince has been standing in the
| way"
And the day will surely come
when you will be very grateful to
Fate for kindly removing him from
your pathway. Never a woman
! lived who reached her thirties that
| did not look back and thank For
tune that she had been mercifully
saved from marrying her first love,
and usually her second and third.
For, although the first love may
| be and sometimes is the right
Prince, he is much more likely to
be a mere clothes-tree on which
we hang those shimmering robes
of romance we have woven from
our dreams In the teens, it is
very often case of: 81 must love
some one, and it might as we'll be
YOU"
Your real destiny may be wait
ing for you in the next street, or he
may be at the other end of the
| world. But he is seeking you just
as surely as you are watching for
him.
1.-TWO shall be born the whole wide
world apart,
And speak in different tongues, and
have no thought
Each of the others being, and no
head.
And these DER unknown seas to un-
known lands
Shall cross, escaping wreck, defy
ing death
And all unconsciously shape every
act
And bind each wandering step to
this one end
That, one day out of darkness, they
shall meet
And read life's meaning in each
others eyes,"
