The commonest tragedy in the world
is that Of the unfAithful husband.
There is hardly day in the year when
VIC don't hear il told, in one form or
another. A man marrics a young girl,
who loves him dearly, and who believes
him TO be everything that is nohlc and
chivalrous, and true. They establish a
home that, in its beginning is a lovr
nest. They have children. After while,
the monotony Of domesticity pals upon
the husband Ho grows tired OF hs vile,
and she finds out that there - another
woman, younger than she is, better
looking. gaycr, and moro aliurin&.
The wife's heart is broken Her pride
is Inundated into the dust. Her sense
of justice is outraged, and in her first
righteous anger, she can think Of nothing
| but carrying her wrongs 70 the divorce
court. She wants TO be done with the
bastard, who took her life IN his hands
and ruined it. She wants to have no
more 10 do with the traitor who has
broken the most solemn oaths that a
man can take on his lips, and who is
not even loyal TO his own flesh and
blood and name.
No one can blame the betrayed wife
! for desiring TO separate from her faith
less husband, yet divorce Is not the
panacea for domestic Ills that II Is popu-
larly supposed 10 be. On the contrary,
it is a remedy that is often worse than
the disease, and so the woman who is
entitled TO divorce does well TO con-
sider the subject from every angle before
she asks for o decree absolute.
Very often, it u far, far better for her
10 bear the Ills she has, than TO rush into
those she knows not of. For the path
of the divorces is strewn With thorns
unless she has an independent fortune
of her own. or the delinquent husband II a
man of means out of whom settlement
IN real money can be obtained.
Therefore the woman with wandering
husband does well to think over these
few facts before consulting lawyer
First, let her admit to herself the bitter
truth that the emotional beans, so to
speak, are spilled. She has been walked
up rom her dream. Her Illusions are
shattered. The happiness OF believing
herself an adoring wife Is gone forever
and all the divorces in the world cannot
heal that hurt.
On the other hand, the man who il
philanderer, and who can no more b,
faithful to one woman than a butterfl,
can be faithful TO one flower, is Otter
the most charming and agreeable o
companions. He is courteous, consider
ate, genial, and generous in his owl
home. He even practices on his owl
wife the wiles with which he woos womel
abroad, and whether the wife VIII
would like to be a monopolst realize
it or not, these virtues offset multi
tude OF sins Better a side-steppin
husband, than kicker, any day in th
week.
Secondly, let the outraged wife bea
in mind that If her husband has foi
gotten bis duty to his children, it is a
the more important that she shoul
remember hers. The individual happ
ness Of parents is of small importanc
compared with the welfare OF thei
children. People who bring children int

UNCLE TEDDY BEAR
TELLS A STORY

In a big toy shop lived many toy.

O, the sights it had seen out in the
world where the other toys had never
been.
Uncle Teddy Bear was one o. the
toys that returned, Tor he had been
treated rather badly by the little boy

mas present. One leg was quite limp
and useless, as it hung from his side
and a ragged place on his back showed
that his coat had been badly torn
Uncle Teddy Bear was a very large
Teddy Bear and he had lived so long
in the toy shop before he went away
that the other toys called him Uncle.
He was 10 large that the shopkeeper
despaired OF ever selling him, when
one day little boy came in with his
mother and spied him. L want that

But at Christmas time big Teddy
Bear was taken from the shelf and
carried away TO the home Of this very
little boy who had cried for him. And
any one would have thought he would
take good care of Uncle Teddy, but
be didn't, ~ you will coon learn.

of quiet devotion from my husband which
had been my lot since that time. Upon

had declared with emphasis that he

that he had gotten his" when Junior
was stolen, and that thenceforth ! would
have to provide all the thrills aside from

wondered il 50 long an imprisonment in
the domestic cage, even though 1T was
voluntary, were not palling upon him

ccded some escapade, harmless enough
