A young woman asks these aues-
tions:
when a woman does the courting,
so to speak. do you think a man tires
of her. If they marry. sooner than he
would of a wife that he had wooed
himself?
Does it show that a man is non
entity if ne lets the woman take the
active part in love making?"
l should unhesitatingly answer mo"
tC both questions.
I think the woman who is more in
love with a man than he is with her
is apt to retain his affection than Is
the case when the relationship Is re-
Nersed. There are several reasons
why this should be true.
The first is because in such cases a
woman does not throw away the bait
with which she caught her fish when
she gets married, as is the custom of
many improvident ladies who have
lured a man to the altar by means
Of beauty. neatness. amiability. SYM
pathy and other such charms, and
then. having secured their meal ticket,
have degenerated into slouchy, sloppy,
peeNlSn ShreWS.
1t is easy TO see how a man, who
has been caught by a girls good
looks, could wriggle off the hooks
when he found that her beauty was
merely Camoufiage. and that when she
took of her complexion and her hair
and her straight front in the privacy
Of home. she was as plain as a mud
fence.
But the man who has married a
woman because she loved him gets a
wife who has an attraction for him
that time cannot wither nor custom
stale.
For as We grow older we crave love
more. not the romantic love of youth.
but that deep. strong. steadfast af-
lection that We can lean upon as upon
a staff. sure that it will never fail us
in our hour of need. As life beats and
bruises us in our fight with the world.
more and more We need the love of
some one close to US to bind up our
wounds with their faith, and salve
them with the healing ointment of
their affection.
No woman need be afraid that her
husband will grow tired of her be-
cause she loved him. He may weary
of her for a thousand other different
reasons, but never for that one. The

Appertaining to and Concerning Love
By DOROTHY DIX
TIE WORLDS HIGHEST PAID WOMAN WRITER

one voice in the world that never gets
upon our nerves is the voice that sings
our praises; the one story OF which we
never hear enough is the saga Of how
handsome. how wonderful, how tai
ented and how adored we are. The
homeliest woman singing that song be-
comes more attractive 10 our eyes
than a Venus: the dullest one is en-
dowed with an immortal wit.
Think over the happiest married
couples you have known. the couples
in which the husband has been the
most contented Darby. and you will
find that they have not been those in
which the wife was EXCEPTIONAL,
beautiful or brilliant or in which the
husband started out as an impassioned
Romeo.
On the contrary, the blue ribbon do
mestic prizes have gone TO the insig
nificant, commonplace little wives, who
have had no talent except the talent
for loving. and who have made OF
their affection and admiration an un-
breakable silken bond that has held
their husbands to them.
After the honeymoon is ended the
principal things that a man asks OF
marriage are peace, Cheerfulness and
physical comfort at home. and these
he is far more apt TO get from the
wife who did the counting than he is
from the woman he broke his neck
to win. For the woman who does the
counting never forsets that she has
to make good, so she's up and doing
continually. trying 10 please her hus-
band and keep him satisfied, while the
woman who permitted herself 10 be
persuaded to marry him feels that in
getting her he got more than he de-
served. and that it's not incumbent
upon her TO do anything more than
to accept the worship and services of
a devoted slave.
Also. the woman who married the
man she picked out from all other men

HOROSCOPE.
FRIDAY, DECEMBER ~, 1918.

Good and evil contend today in
the influences of the stars, accord
ing to astrology. Early in the morn
ing Uranus is friendly, but later
the planet is in threatening aspect.
Saturn, adverse in the morning
changes to kindlier sway in the aft
ernoon. Mercury is menacing.
During this configuration minds
are likely to be open to many con-
flicting ideas and the public is cas-
lily Influenced. 1t is especially a
time for agitation, misrepresenta-
tion and ill-advised action.
This confusion of ideas is held
to be but the natural consequence
of the years in which war liberated
and encouraged the most terrible
human passions and in the period
of the return to normal emotions,
reactions will be shown in many
ways.
Wise men and women will curb
the tongue and be slow to express
opinions. They are cautioned by
the seers to consider carefully their
since the power of thought is to be
recognized as never before.

Great inventions. prognosticsted

now that the war is ended. Through
these America will gain new fame.
This is not a lucky day for love
affairs, but much foolish sentfmen-
tality is indicated as one of the
signs of transition times.
Farmers should be unusually care
full to protect stock as well as stores
of grain. Weather that is most un-

cause serious losses.
Labor continues subject to a sway

Fires may be more numerous than
usual. Care should be taken to pro-

Persons whose birthdate it is will

successful. Business conditions will
be most satisfactory.
Children born on this day will be
steady. reliable and independent in
character. These subjects of Capri

WHAT TO LEARN

Learn to laugh. A good laugh is better than medicine.
 Learn to attend strictly to your own business. A very important point.
 Learn the art of saying kind and encouraging things, especially to the young.
 Learn to avoid all ill-natured re- marks and everything calculated to create friction.
 Learn to keep your troubles to yourself. The world is too busy to care for your ills and sorrows.
 Learn to stop grumbling If you cannot see any good in this world keep the bad to yourself
 Learn to hide your aches and pains under pleasant smile. No one cares whether you have the earaehe, head ache or rheumatism.
 Learn to greet your friends with a smile. They carry too many frowns in their own hearts to be bothered with any of yours.-Ghristian Life.
