DOROTHY DIX DISCUSSES LIFE
TALKS ON HEART AND HOME

selves educated and cultured, marry
pretty, illiterate, unrefined girls in
the fond belief that they will have no
difficulty in making their wives over
according to their taste.
But they find that their slightest
suggestion that wife should study
and improve herself, and that she
has anything to learn in department,
is met with such flood of tears or
storm of anger that the poor man
never has the courage to make a sec
ond attempt to raise his wife to his
level.
Women won't learn of their nus.
bands. They will not profit by their
husbands criticism. Yet many a
wife would find that sna could make
ends meet on her allowance and save
herself half of her work if she would
permit her husband to organize her
house for her on the same principles
on which he runs his business.
OF course, perpetual fault-findins
is an aggravation not to be borne.
Eternal nagging about some little
popularity, the eternal knocking of
everything one does will wear away
any affection. But this. is far diff
ferent from the constructive criticism
that points out to us a fault and
gives us the opportunity to correct
it is We will.
And it is this helpful calling of
each others attention to their little
weaknesses; this giving of each OF
perience to the other, that husbands
and wives should be" able to offer
each other, but that experience soon
teaches them they cannot do.
Curiously enough, men and women
do not resent criticism from. strang-
Crs so much as they do from their
own husbands and wives. A man will
let another man tell him bluntly
tina t he doesn't know what he is talk
ing about, but he gets furious if his
wife put him right about his dates
or his geography. A woman win
sit at the feet of another woman
who tells her that she doesn't know
what sort Of clothes to wear, but she
weeks with rage if her husband in
Inmates that her hat is too young
for her. and that her frock brings
out every bad point to her anatomy
Perhaps the, reason that husbands
and wives are so unduly sensitive tc
each others criticism is because our
vanity cannot endure to know thai
the one we love best, and in whose
uyes we must desire to shine, sees
our faults and weaknesses, anc
knows us for the poor, imperfec
human beings we are. We had de
Iuded ourselves into believing thai
some one had an affection for us Sc
great that he or she was blinded tt
our shortcomings, and we canno
bear to know that this is not true
! Our poor, miserable egotism makes
us want to think that we have go
our husbands, or our wives, fooled
! into thinking us without flaw o.
blemish. and so we will not stand fol
the criticism that will help us, auC
we force them into being liars ant
flatterers If they want to get along
in peace with us.
Which is a pity, all the way
| around!

A BEDTIME STORY
BY THORNTON w. BURGESS

waited until the last one had disap'
peared. Then he looked up the Long
Lane and down the Long Lane. Ever
since he had first crossed that Long
Lane he had wanted to explore it.
Now was his chance. Should he go
up or down the Long Lane? He de-
cided to go up
I'm plenty big enough to take
care of myself" said he to himself.
Besides. there isn't anything to be
afraid of, anyway. There must be a
lot of places more interesting than
it is around home. 1t is stupid there.
Nothing ever happens. There isn't
any excitement"
The young Chuck took one last
look. to make sure that his mother
hadn't missed him. Then he turned
and scampered up the Long Lane as
fast as he could go. He meant to get
as far as he could beforA his mother
missed him. He was running away.

mapped and played without a thought
of danger. Once in great while Red
tail the Hawk would swing high
overhead. Then Polly Chuck would
give the signal for the five young
Chucks to scamper into their home,
But this didn happen often enough
to be exciting
By the middle of the summer the
young Chucks were quite half-grown,
and were beginning to feel quite in
dependent. This was true of one in
particular. He was little the big
gest, and he made Polly Chuck mors
trouble than all the others together.
He was continually wandering away
from home further than was safe.
Polly Chuck would miss him and go
look for him. When she found him
she would scold as only Polly Chuck
can. Then she would drive him home
and send him down into the house.
But the very next chance he got this
disobedient young Chuck would do
the same thing over again.
Early one morning Polly led the
five children across the Long Lane
to breakfast on sweet clover on the
other side. She was in the habit of
doing this every morning. This time
the disobedient young Chuck was the
last one In the line Of young Chucks
as they started across the Long Lane.
The first one kept close to his
mothers black heels. The second one
kept close to the first one. The third
was right behind and the fourth was
as close as he could get to the one
in front of him.
The disobedient young Chuck start
ed with the rest and kept his place at
the end of the line until they reached
the middle of the Long Lane. There
he stopped. His mother had disap-
pCared in the bushes on the other
Si"o and his brothers and sisters were

were three hundred delegates, be-
sides those visitors who were as

EVOLUTION IN THE BIBLE?

EVOLUTION IN THE BIBLE?
My frame was not hidden from
thee when I was made in secret, ant
curiously wrought in the loves
parts of the earth.-Ps. 1876.
Suppose we could believe the
Bible was intended to teach
science. Would not this verse
read in favor of the evolutionary
hypothesis?
This being "made in secret
this curious fashioning of mans
frame lin the lowest parts OF the
earth docs not this sound like
the development of the human
body from lower forms, yes,
even from the very dust of pro,
toplasm?
But, mind you, I do not say
we are bound to believe this.
The Bible was not given to
teach science, but religion.
The method of creation is for
scientific men to trace. as far as
they can.
The chief duty Of man, having
a reasonable soul, is to glorify
and enjoy God, who made him
of dust and spirit.
If the evolutionary hypothesis
should be proved true, it would
make this religious. duty still
more clear and binding.
For the. vital law of the soul
is upward, not downward.

1t is a great pity that marriage

1t happens very frequently, for

He may elicit our admiration in a
