Confessions Of
a Wife.
A Shadow Of Coming Events.

Beautifully reasoned out. Margie.
my dear, but let me tell you some
! thing" said Mollie, this very minute
you are on the point of refusing to
marry Barclay Sill because when he
proposed to you, you did not feel the
thrill Of that you expected and all this
grand sermon on comradeship in mar
riage that you have just been giving
me is to bolster up your position.
"Ill tell you, Margie, as long as
girls are taught as they are, they will
look for the thrill OF love and feel
themselves cheated il Fate makes
them marry a fine man for compan-
ionship, etc, etc"
You are taking a gool deal Of
pleasure, Margie, just now in the at
tentions Of Barclay Sill and you, sell
fish little woman that you are, are
a bit perturbed because he has forced
the issue. You would like to have
kept him dangling a while longer"
"Mollie, the way you are talking to
me now seems much like the way I
used to talk to you when Dick and ]
wero first married. wonder IL you
think I am now as frivolous as I
thought you were thenr'

You never posed as a saint on a
pedestal and l know that any woman
would be quite flattered to have two
such men as Barclay Sill and Jim
Edie making love to her."
Don't play the innocent, my dear:
you know that dear old Jim has been
in love with you all his life"
What about his proposing to you,
Mollie?"
"Oh. he did that just as a f1ier
into the matrimonial market. He took
a chance and IL ] had accepted him,
he would have been very unhappy
and very jealous. There has only
been one woman in Jim Edie's life,
Margie, and that has been you"
But he did not know me until after
was married to his best friend"
THAT is the tragedy of it. That he
could live all through the trying years
and still be loyal to his friend while
loving his friends wife makes Jim
Edie one of the biggest and bravest
men I know"
"He has never by word, deed, or
look made me think that he cares
for me any more than he does for
you, and ! cannot understand. Mollie,

you-to come over to our home little
while tonight"

his friends?"

Is one Of the mysteries Of human
nature that nobody can explain.
Yet nine-tenths kof the misery. the
failures. the utter messes that peo-
pie make out OF their lives. could have

most cursory acquaintance with them

People know themselves so little
that they do not even know how they
look. You can tell this by the way
they dress Do you suppose the
short, fat, dumpy woman, with a
figure like a feather bed, would wear
sport suit that shrieks at you from
afar. and Q billowy, blousy, shirt
waist, that adds fifty pounds to her
weight. IL she had ever taken one
good, square look at herself?
Because we do not know ourselves.
We both undervalue and overyalue our
selves. When we undervalue our
selves We fail, because we lack cour-
age 10 attempt things. We do lit
tie things all our days, when We
might have done big things. IL we
had known ourselves well enough to
realize our potentialities.
These are the men and women who
never try for anything better than
what they have. They take little
salaries, because they do not see that
their work is worth higher pay. They
stay in humble positions because they
do not know that they have within
them the executive ability to carry
on big affairs. They even look in
significant. because they have never
seen themselves clearly enough to
know that all they lack Of distinction
is throwing back their shoulders and
holding up their heads.
But the most piteous phase OF self
ignorance is when we declude our
selves into thinking that We are
giants. when We are only pigmies,
and that our little flicker of talent
is the great arc light OF genius. and
when We waste the toll and energy
that would have brought US success
in doing the thing We could have
done. on vainly attempting TO do the
thing that Is beyond our ability.
There are no greater tragedies than
those who delude themselves into
thinking that they have great gifti
when all they have Is just a small
facility for some art.
Therefore. I would urge all people
starting cut in life. to try to get
acquainted with themselves. They
will find no other acquaintance so
valuable. 30 interesting, or so i'm
portanc as the stranger within them
selves-and TO whom most people
never get introduced.
