MAN WHO GIVES UP
BY Beatrice Fairfax

there for Mary or Ellen II she per-
sists in linking her life with that
of a man who won't try to make
something of himself? What
chance has any woman when she
joins her fate with that of a man
who has no sense of his RESPONSE

Nobody earns an easy living"
says a Russian romance which
depicts wildly, IL brutally, the
need of struggle in the constant
warfare man Is waging against
the forces of nature. 1t Is only by
making his fight that man has
evolved from a brute creature to
civilization.
The man who has no ideals and
no desire to make a stand against
his own weaknesses can't be much
of a protector to the woman he
marries. And as long as life lasts,
woman must look up to her man
and feel that he Is strong and
sturdy and capable of making
something Of his life II she wants
to be happy in linking her life
with his.
All work Ia difficult and wear
ing. Men Of normal, healthy
standards enjoy the struggle.
Even when they are tired and
worn, and almost conquered by dis.
couragement, men are proud In
the consciousness that they are not
beaten-that they will go on-and
win in the end.
The man who is looking for an
easy berth seldom finds it--or has
any satisfaction of II II It does
come to him. I'm not going to dis
cuss the evils Of gambling, the
weakness of trusting to chance to
give what a sturdy soul would

ing to remind Ellen and Mary
and all the "Ellens" and "Marys"
that stability Is the one thing
which man must have II he Is to
be the trusted, honored mate Of a
woman Of any character.

he was then only about thirty
years old. One day when he was
twenty years old he was admiring
from a hill a broad and beautiful

young man while gazing began

a curious pleasure in making It

Luck bedeviled his honor; the
fair Mrs. Lorrimore won steadily
without the least respect for the
law and no consideration ut all
for the sanctity Of the bench; and
the Judge became peevish. He was

and captivating laugh as a servant

an angrily scrawled envelope.
Mrs. Rivett had passed into a
