4 man asks me il can tell him how
to work the greatest of all miracles, and
that is 10 bring dead love to life again.
He says that he married beautiful
and charming womaa with whom he was
much in love, and who loved him with
all her heart The woman was every
thing wife should be- They had chill
dren, and 4 happy home, and for ten
years lived al ideal domestic life.
Then the man met a gay adventures,
who captured his fickle fancy For q
while he was completely fascinated by
the woman He neglected his wife for
her He spent upon her the money that
should have gone TO his family. He was
surly and grouchy at home, and never
happy except whea he wss with the
woman and the gay crowd she drew
about her
The wife bore every thing with dignity
and patience She never nagged. She
never threatened divorce She kept her
home intact, and, at least, warded of
open scandal from her children's : name
Finally, the man got tired of feeding on
the husks Of sins. suddenly, one day he
saw the woman As she WAS, coarse, ylll-
gar, greedy, and grasping, and vile. Her
spell for him was broken, her charm
gone. and he returned In sack cloth and
ashes 10 his wife.
She forbore 10 reproach him She
drew the mantle Of decent silence over
the past, and it is never referred 70
between the m. She is kind 10 him,
helpful, friendly, but that is all. The old
love, the old tenderness is gone, and the
man would give everything he has IN
the world to bring them back again, and
| he asks what he can do TO win back
again the heart he threw away so care
/ lesSly.
No one can tell him how TO accom-
plish this marvel 1t is very easy Tor a
man to light the fires of love on the altar
Of a young girls soul, but when the FIRE
has burned itself out II Is an almost I'M
possible thing to re-kindle the ashes.
No woman can really love man whom
/ she doesn't respect and honor, whom
1 she does not believe to be strong, and
/ faithful. and loval, whom she can not
trust No woman can feel anything but
contempt for the philanderer who chases
every petticoat, who can be taken III and
made fool Of by any designing woman,
/ who is so weak that he cannot do q man s

| has taken upon himself. and who is
so poor a creature he cannot be loyal
even to his own flesh AID blood.
Every woman who loves her husband
visions him as hero, and clothes him
with a thousand projections that make
him godlike to her The tears that a
woman sheds over an unfaithful hus-
band wash her eyes clear, and she sees
him exactly as he is, without even a shred
of illusion with which to clothe the naked
edness of his imperfeetions
Men have always held to the com
Portable theory that woman's love was
indestructiblc, and that no matter how
much they trampled upon it, and abused
It, thatit would always be waiting ready
for use again, as good as new whenever
they happened TO need or want it. Moth
ing could be farther from the truth. A
woman's love is as perishable a thing
as the bloom on peach. Once brush it

Those garden flowers have the dew

True. quite true, cousin, said the
Dandelions; the weeds are the cause
Of an our troubles, ! am sure.

suddenly growing very angry. why,
YOU and YOUR cousins are only weeds

Then all the weeds began 70 talk Il

next morning ONLY weeds were 10 be
seen on that side OF the garden wall
OF course the Sunfower was too tail
to be covered By the weeds but they
grew close around his roots and even
climbed up and pulled him toward the
ground so, that one day he was no
longer able 10 peek over the garden
wall and tell tales.

past all magic TO restore.
Ii is true that women forgive errlng
husbands and take them back far oftener
than men forgive and take back erring
wives They do this for many reasons
besides the one that mans vanity
attributed TO them They do it because
il is often the way TO make the best OF
a bad bargain. They do it because il is
better for their children. They do it be-
cause even when love is gone from the
hearthstone, her home and settled
position in society are still consolation
prize TO woman They do il because
after many woman has ceased to love
her husband as a husband, she still has
for him 4 maternal affection that makes
her feel the sort of protecting pity
towards his weaknesses that she would
feel towards bad child's.
But no woman ever trusts again the

Mrs. Rorer Replies to House wife Who Complains of Menu Printed On
 This Page
By ZELDA BEDEL.

Some little time ago the editor of the Magazine page printed a Menu for Family of Five for Week for s20." It was a series of menus, cov- ering every day from Monday to Sun day, inclusive, and the Editor thought it was good stuff and would be re- ceiyed with open arms by the read CTS of her page.
 That the Editor erred in judgment has been proved by a letter received by one of her unfortunately the letter is unsigned-and this particular reader takes exception to the S20sa week menu, and says it's all wrong,

 Her letter is illuminating. It is he read the story of a fight to keep up appearances, to put the best face on things and to meet life more than halfway. The tragedy of the thing is contained in the paragraph that says that the bread-winner is now out of work.
