Material Things Alone
NeUer Satisfy Human Heart

girl and going to some other State.
She Is beginning to notice the con-
stant discord in our home, and
know I can earn enough money to
take care OF us. / am still young,
and sometimes wonder IL there is
any happiness in this world for
me. I often think of Ella Wheeler
Wilcox's poem. Separation With
out Divorce"
Now here is a woman who, so far
as material things are concerned,
has really little valid complaint.
She Is well-fed, well-housed. and
has a steady. hard-working hus-
band whose provision for his fam .
lily seems fairly proportionate to
mis- income. Many a happy and con-
tented wife cheerfully does with
less; and a horse or COW that re
ceived the same treatement wou ID
probably grow sleek and fat.
But these things alone have never
satisfied the human heart. Again
and again they have been tossed
aside or trodden under foot for the
sake of those more essential d.
mands justice, liberty, love.
Even Child Thrives
On Responsibility.
This man OF thirty-five who mar
rfed girl of eighteen probably re
garded his wife as a child. And
doubtless at the first she was like
child. irritatingly careless, inef-
ficient and unsystsmatic. A little
patience. a little tolerance for her
mistakes. an occasional word of
praise for her successes would have
remedied all that. Instead. he has
chosen to assume the attitude of q
Grand Cham; he has denied her
any authority or initiative: he has
been a stern and unbend'ng task
master. Even a child requires anil
thrives under sense OF RESPONSE
bility.
The result in this case has been
disaster. Like any other mere slave,
the wife has steadily gathered re-
sentiment until now she is ready,
no matter what the consequences,
TO throw of her CALLING yoke.
But Is the situation utterly hope
less? The man, for all his auto
cratic temper, seems to have some
Idea of duty, and although appar-
emily not of a demonstrative na-
ture. he probably has a strong af-
lection for his child.
Suppose she takes that as her
point OF argument Catching him
In one of his more amenable moods,
suppose she represents to him the

as she would have greeted girl

Then she put her arms about her
sister.

II am very happy for you"
Il know you are, dear Ruth
Doris smiled
Hugh held out his hand to the
younger girl. I'VE have been
friends for quite a while. Now we

She placed her hand in his, but
when he made as though he would

He glanced from one sister TO
the other. Doris was older than
Ruth. yet she looked younger, Her
fair coloring was in contras. to
Ruth's dark hair and eyes.
The only points of resemblance
were their figures and voices. Both
girls were slight OF build. and. as
is often the case with women Of
the same family, their intonations
were similar Indeed, Hugh recalled
that he had occasionally found IL
difficult to distingish which of the
Courtney girls was talking to him
over the telephone.
But here all physical likeness be-
tween the sisters ceased, while in
character they were very unlike.
Ruth was reticent conservative in
expressing her feelings, outwardIy
Unconditional, although anectionate
toward the few people whom she
loved. Doris was impulsive, easily

There was a moment of awkward
