they again set sail on the trencherous son
of matrlmony.
Most of them are too old for love and
romance TO be an impclling motive TO
them They are done with the dreams
and illusions Of youth. In the phrase
of the day they know what they are
going up against, and still they do it,
Perhaps the real reason that people
marry n second time is, first, because
! they are lonely, and secondly because
they want home.
Whatever else marriage gives, or
! fails to give, 1t gives companioushp.
! When n mnn and woman nre congenial
when they have the same tastes. when
they think the same thoughts. have the
same interests, enjoy the same pleasures,
and rcad the same books. this companion
ship makes matrimony a heaven on
earth, and it. is the hope Of getting this
companionship that justities people in
plunging on hundred To one shot on D
wedding ring
But even when they are not particu-
larly cungenial, even when they quarrel
and fight like the Kilkenny cats, the
married still have companiopship
TINT gives certain rest to life. You
are bound 10 miss your sparring partner
if he or she is taken away from you. II
is moro entertaining to have somebody 10
scrap with over the breakfast table than
to eat alone, and one misses even the
nagging when nobody cares what one
does
Moreover. rs one grows old, com
partnerships become more and more
necessary. Young people can find
pleasure IN entertainment, IN dancing,
and theatres. and running around at
night, but these diversions are bores
when one comes TO middle age. Then
one wishes to sit by the fire with friend
wife, or friend husband, instead of hav-
ing to drag old bones around in society
or else know the desolstion of utter
solitude.
Men and women marry second time
to get home. IL is part of the tragedy
of widowhood that it breaks up home
When a woman dies, her husband may
try to carry on with the home. He may
hire competent house keeper, keer
the same servants, the food may be as
good the house rs clean as ever, but II
is no longer home II lacks the little
touch, the spirit OF love, the welcoming
smile at the door that made the place
home.
If man dies, his wife generally does
keep up the home, but she finds that a
woman by herself can no more make q
real home than man can make one by
himself Her house may be beautifully
furnished her table we'll spread, but il,
atmosphere lacks SAVIOR. 1t is femal,
asylum, not a home.
The man wants somebody to run hi
home for him. The woman wants some
body to make it worth while to run
home for, and SO, they get married, 70
having had home of their own once
they are wretched without one
Cynical DR.. Johnson once said that
second marriage was a triumph of hop
over experience | should say that 1
second marriage is a triumph of courag
over fear. for second marriages are nearl
always happier than first marriages
because men and women bring to ther
the wisdom and experience they hav
acquired in their previous venture.

WHAT MADGE DID TO SAVE
DICKI IN HIS MOTHERS EYES

For a long minute after my mother
in-law's blunt query | sat staring at
the expensive photograph of Clare
Foster with the bizarre inscription to
Dicky scrawIed across It's face. In my
ears was echoing her question with en-
phasis. What, indeed, WAS this picture
doing in my husbands room?
The thing was startling confirmation
of DR.. PettIt'S hints, and of my own I'M
easiness concerning DiCky's silence Was
it possible shook the thought from me
hastily, and my memory galloped back
over our brief acquaintance with the
beautiful western girl whose face looked
out insouciantly at me.
We had met her with DR.. Petit, whose
devotion to her was patent, and who had
later told us of his engagement to her.
Dicky and both had wondered not at
the physicians choice, because he had
abundant cause for his infatuation, but
at hers-and had not been astonished
when ! had heard of their estrangement.
Madge is Dipo matte.
But ! never had thought that Dicky
was especially interested in her or at
tracted by her. He had noted her un-
deniable resemblance TO Grace Draper
although the dashing western girl would
never possess the faultless beauty which
was Grace Diapers fortune-and after
Miss Diapers escape from the cOnse-
quences Of her kidnapping of Junior
Miss Foster had posed for the unhn'
ished illustrations which the other girls
departure left.
But / had heard my husband make
several unfavorable comments concern
ing her extreme modern ideas, and hel
militant feminism. These are two things
which inconsistent DiCky-himself q
devotee of every fad which comes alons
-abhors in a woman. And though hac
known that Miss Foster was much i'm
pressed by Dicky's good looks and fas
cinating manner never have seen tht
woman who did not sit up and take
notice when he entered a room-l haC
never entertained the slightest notior
| that she ever gave him a really serious
| thought
My mother-in-law brought me back tc
the present with jerk.
'Wellr' she demanded. What have
you got to say?"
Her tone placed the blame for the pos
session of the picture,on my shoulders
as if / had placed It in Dicky's room
myself. ! knew what had to do, and
that quickly
No matter what my own thoughts. no
matter what my mother-in-law said, |
must betray no suspicion of my hus-
band. la her present anger against him
she would. no doubt, agree to any
