So writes Jacqueline, resenting
the truth, which she nevertheless Is
beginning to suspect.
The wifely love Of a woman whose
heart and mind are mature Is paseo
on something deeper than the desire
to touch and see the loved one each
moment Of the day.
A true wife is a partner.
No woman who wants to tie man
to her apron strings isn't thinking
beyond the moment. Human beings
grow in soul and mind or they go
to pieces. A man who gives up his
work and his success to satisfy the
cravings Of an exotic woman gives
I'D his self respect. And once that
Is gone he becomes a weak thing
the slave of his emotions and OF
the whims of the woman who
couldn't look beyond her own de-
sires to the facts Of life.
We live in practical world,
where landlords have to be paid
and where we struggle or 60 I'M
der.
The woman who won't see that
is refusing to grow up and be
mature human being. She may
enslave her husband for the time.
but he's bound to wake up some
day and see what her so-called love
has cost him. And then what be-
comes of their life together?
No man can go on loving a
woman who is sapping his ambi-
lions, his energy and his chances
to be full-sized, strong human
being.
The Jacquelins Of this world are
throwing away their happiness by
insisting on their right to have

tain love il to leave It free.

cue while two pipers crossed the
stone bridge just as the pipers OF
old came over the drawbridges
In the hall the servants were
waiting and one. the major domo,
carried on a pillow the key to the
castle; a proud man he was to offer
to Sir Fergus and the lovely Aiieen
this token of the right to the free
dom of the ancient stronghold.
Behind the door the bridesmaids
took their places and silence fell
as bridegroom and bride entered.
Quite q modern knight Sir Fer
gus looked in his dark suit and an
equally modern lady the dark Aileen
in her rare old gown of rare old
lace.
With much bowling the major
domo held forth the pillow with
the key thereon and offered 1t to
the future mistress Of Kenmare;
with a smile and a few words Of
thanks graciously spoken Aileen
took the token while the flower
girls formed circle about her.
A Lovely Scene.
Broad steps led the way to the
court yeard; at their foot was a
well; further away in corner was
a huge mass of wood ready to light
for a bonfire was one Of the features
Of this age-old ceremony; servants
came swiftly and applied the match
just as in the days gone by lackeys
had set the wood ablaze with torches
Of resin; round the sputtering
flames the flower girls gathered,
and in groups Of two and threes the
guests Joined them. The white
dresses Of the women made a SHIN

another a large wedding cake.

the girls in the court, where It fell
like shower of trophies and was
rescued amid excited laughter by
the happy souvenir hunters.
In one part Of the courtyard had
been improvised a throne. and to
this Aileen was now led by Sir Fer
gus. A beautiful picture was the
daughter OF John Barrett as she
stood with the man of her choice
waiting for the strange questioning
ceremony that formed so important
a part of the Brides Play.
And, as though to set, off what
was to come, with a light and airy
setting, the flower girls began a
dance as Sir Fereugs and his bride
took their seats.
In and out, in many a fanciful fig.

the bearers Of the garlands tripped
this way and that, and bent and
curved and scattered their flowers
as a tribute to happiness, and wished
with their eyes q thousand years of
love and peace to the man and the
woman who had plighted their faith.

Brides Play.
The drawbridge that had once
served to span the castle moat in
the days of Enid was now an au-
tomobile driveway. and high
powered cars approaching with
young girls in white took the place
Of gayly caparisoned steeds and out
riders that made the scene a glory
in the time Of Count Mansfield.
And everywhere were flowers and
bright dresses, scarves and the
sound Of gay voices and laughter;
no reason anywhere to imagine that
any spirit of evil genius was lying
in wait to cast a gloom over the
assembling throng.
But the automobiles were not
the only means Of conveyance;
taunting cars carried their quota
to the festive scene. From the
neighboring villages they came bob
bling along the roads and adding a
rural color to the modern note.
Those who had heard the old
crone's story had no difficulty in
Transporting the scene: and those
who knew the tale Of Enid saw
also in their minds eye the pic
ture of the past woven into the
threads Of the present.

From all quarters of the compass
the conveyances converged on Ken
