Al ZEN ION y
: For the public's information
we wish to say that it is the
usual practice of Realtors in
their advertising to insert ads as
leaders. The buyer should moi be
governed by these seemingly
good propositions alone, for some
of the best homes now being Of
fefed are those on which the
owners reserve publicity. The
buyer should not be content
with information of the prop
erty advertised but should put
himself in the hands of his
Realtor. By SO doing he will tie
more often save worry, time and
money. Demonstrate this for
yourself by letting us show you
your new home. We have it in
the list of homes ranging in price
from 5000 up to $4,000; in
quality from the most moderate
to the most elaborate.

CONFESSIONS
OF A BRIDE.
Copyright. 1900
Many Ilrvnt Men Want To Get
''HOnIG" After an ErOtic
Excursion.

InstinctivcIy claspcd my hus-
bands hand when KathDriRe's low
laugh reached our cars. Tina.
laugh was like rich music, soft
and low. but It's echo made me
stifren and left me chill
1t hurt me- could endure that
but / could not bear TO see how 1t
hurt my husband. He shrank from
Its sweetness. He turned 10 me
as il for protection from it, as If
his nerves were too raw 10 endure
the thrill OF II, or as II 1t reused
some regrettable association in his
mind.
He turned to me, the wife, and
! cuddled him in my arms as II he
were a child, and with a care ess
gesture l drew the coverlet across
his head SO that his ears could
not easily catch those careless
happy tones.
AS he hid his head upon my
heart. my husband murmured,
Home, Homc."
And Just so, I thought. 1t must
hs With many errapt men. They
want to get home" after every
erotic excursion. They are always
lp the end glad to be rid Of the
excitement Of wandering rolnpntt-
caIly. Tho very fact that they
must pose as heroes before each
Eew fair gets irksome. The fat
terry grows stale. And SO the wife,
witt; the exact knowledge of
mans whims and moods and
breakfast habits, her patience
With his weaknesses, before whom
a man need not pretend, Is always,
in my husbands phrase-"home!"
Some men need homes more
than wives, perhaps, for the sense
OF home, and the need Of it, which
springs up In the heart OF boy,
never dies out in the man. Bet
ter homes" is doubtless the great
cure for divorce.
Certainly when Bob was sick,
he needed me, his wife. He re-
Quired the comfort l could pro-
vide and the easy round Of habits
which l recognized. was the
place of his rest.
But even as my husband turned
to me the self in me which was
the experienced wife framed an
ether jealous doubt.
Why did Bob, still very sick, so
plainly cringe before that gay con-
tvalto laugh? Could it, by any
horrid chance, remind him of the
last hours which preceded his col
lapse?
When his strength returned,
when his energy was restored, and
his interest in the outside world
revived, would he still shrink be-
fore that laugh as If it hurt him?
Or would he go forth to seek it,
perhaps to arouse 1t?
I dared not think. By q mighty
effort OF will, put aside the
wretched thought and came back
to my best self.
