yLEMENT VERNO1S was approaching
that critical period which borders on
~ rpened maturity and which, with
bachelors, is especially difficult to
traverse because of the emptiness of their ex
stence. Clement had never married. Circum-
stances had not helped him to find wife. An
orphan at twenty years, he had entered
branch Of the government service in which he
pursued marked only by slight but
successive advancements. His associations.
were limited. He took his meals at restau-
rant and went home mainly to smoke his pipe
and sleep.
Nevertheless, his little apartment on the
Left Bank of the Seine was an agreeable one
to live in. From its windows he enjoyed the
green openness Of public garden. Awaken
ing in the morning, he heard the birds twitter,
and in the evening refreshing silence came
up to him from the trees swallowed up in the
shadows. If by chance he came home early he
took pleasure in watching the children at play
and the eager gestures of the mothers. This
picture replaced for him, for an instant the
joys of the family, and in another way he
managed things so that his heart didn't suffer
overmuch. In default of single affection he
bestowed his attention on various amiable
objects.
But since he had passed forty Clement felt
much moro alone-truly alone, delivered to
that solitude which penetrates to the depths
of the soul and which exterior distractions
cannot dispel. He had just been ill., For a week
he had remained in his room with no other
visits than those of the doctor and the jani-
tress. He had even lost his taste for tobacco
and for the pipe which was the companion of
his deep reveries, preceding the most illogical
dreams. Reading still fatigued him. So he
watched through his windows the joyous COM
lngs and goings of the children in the garden.
This day it was overcast and the little peo-
pie were less numerous. Almost all the benches
were vacant Nevertheless in an out-of the
way spot, under chestnut tree shorn of it's
leaves, woman was seated She was so
placed that Clement could not see her face.
but only her black dress, with its straight
Iolds. Ihs dress had an irresistible attrac-
tion Tor hlm, without his knowing why. He
could not take his eyes off it., He spent the
whole afternoon observing it. When it was
time for him to go back to bed he left the
window with regret. t~
Inc next day the sunshine returned and
Clement tet better. After breakfast ho had

pace? Does he suit the length Of his steps to
her tiny tread? No, alasl far too often he
drags her along, he makegher run while he
walks; perhaps he even picks her up and
carries her while he grows tired, and then, far
too often, chucks her over the nearest wall
and strides off to seek another companion who
he thinks may be longer gated How much
better it would be if he would only take his
walks alone, leaving his lovely wife at home,
to whom he might return and say: "Oh my
love, had such beautiful walk to-dayi I

More fatal still is the attempt to forcibly

This Is one Of the most serious dangers Of
higher education for women. Once in while

woman with gigantic male intellect. The re-

fortunate that these instances are rarel
Assuming as proved, therefore, the fact that
wives in general must be rated at a lower
mental candlepower than their husbands, we
are again confronted by the question Of just
how far we should go in their education 50 as
to make them appear to the best advantage
and at the same time retain their companion

We may not all recall, but we certainly re-
member from reading, that the classic
method Of education, such as it was, was that
Of violence. The tanning Of Katharine by
friend Petruchio was but one example Of the
brave, old beat t-em-about school. This would
hardly get by to-day. The modern menage in
which the mutton was thrown about the dining
room would not last long. When wife beating

schools make horrid reading, as we'll as do the
Colonial attacks by stern fathers on their off

This plainly, will not do. We have out

And yet, incredible as it may seem, this

by many modern husbands. They do not use
the whip or the fist, to be sure, but even more

inconceivablo tiendishness they forcibly feed
their poor wives until, unable to digest the
