But often, women, the wanderel

Destruction follows. Homes are
razed and hearts blackened.

with the passing flatterey. The
true wife does not fawn upon nor
offer idle compliments in order to

the hot midday, she nevertheless
consents to talk over
just a little more.
THE flatterers measure the am

size OF the emerald in view" she
smiled amusedly.
Listeners sat silently, for the
most part, attentive to every word
from this amazingly girlish-look-
ing woman who is wife and mo-
ther and upon whose slender
shoulders an all-too-heavy burden
has been placed.
