vault of honor, and faith and duty are in
any danger from "the other man" or ''the
other woman"
No vamp, no matter how OK like her
eyes, or how long her jade ear rings, or
how snake like her figure, can work a
spell on the man who, having married
wife, cleaves unto her and refuses to
let his fancy roam around seeking lesser
loves Nor can any man, no matter how
handsome he is, or how adroit Hatterer
steal away the heart OF woman whose
whole world is made up of her husband,
her children, and her home.
1t is the gay and frivolous minded men
and women, those who take the respon-
sibilities Of life lightly, those who arc
pleasure loving, aud restless, and avid
Of new sensations, who become the
victims Of the heart enatchers, and they
are robbed because they leave the doorr
and windows open, and hang out an in
vitation TO the dishonest to como in.
Undoubtedly, there are many men
and women who follow home wrecking
as a pastime They are neurotic creaturec
who get an added thrill of Joy out OF a
| Irritation, through the knowledge that
they are causing some one else to suffer
the tortures, Of the damned, and are
committing the objectionable sin them
selves.
There are men who think every mar
ried woman is fare game, and who have
no conscience about leading weak, silly
wives to forget their marriage VOWS.
They make love 10 married women
rather than single women because it IS
safer, for they are yellow ours, too
cowardly to pay the price Of their
| fiirtations.
And there are plenty of women, plenty
of girls, even, who boast of their attrac-
tions for married men, and who take a
devilish delight in fattering some bald
headed old idiot into thinking that
he is young and handsome again, and in
love with them, and in making their fat

The Judge of the Chicago court Of
domestic relations is going TO put heart
stealing in the same class with sheep
stealing, and hereafter any vamp, male
or female, who purloins the affections
of man or woman from his or her
rightful owner will have TO answer to
charge of petty larceny, and be pun
ished by getting either stiff fine, or n
jail sentence.
Good. No other thief in the world is
as mean as the one who sneaks into a
home and robs it of oil that was fine
and valuable in it. WHO steals my
purse steals trash" but the man or
woman who steals woman's affec-
ton and loyalty to her husband,
or a mans love and faith In his wife have
taken that which leaves them poor in
! deed.
The Jewels and silver Of which a home
is robbed are often recovered and may
be replaced. One can make other money
to take the placelof that which burglar
| took. but the tressurers Of the soul that
are once lost are gone forever. We never
recover our blasted illusions. We never
believe again in the one who has been
| faithless to us.
Perhaps il is because it is SO impossi-
bic TO make the punishment FIT the CRIME
that we have let the home wreckers 60
SCOT free, but surely il is time that their
evil trade is stopped, and they be made
to suffer some penalty for the harm they
do. Therefore, everyone will watch
with interest the effort of the Chicago
Judge to protect the hearthstone oi
honest husbands and wives against these
social yegg men and women.
OF course, the greatest difficulty il
dealing with the love thieves is that those
who are robbed are always guilty of con
tributory negligence, even when they
have not gone into the den of robber:
