A LMOST every day brings a
"a new version of the "eter-
4 n nal triangle" in which the
defense of the home-breaking
woman is:
He told me his wife didn't
understand him, and he needed
the sympathy / alone could give"
What is this sympathy which
seems so often to do IT'S chief
work as an alienator of affec-
tons? By direct derivation from
the Greek it means suffer
with" The dictionary defines it
as having feelings which are
correspondent in kind or related

Now the right sort OF fellow
feeling, or fellowship. corrects
and uplifts the thoughts it un-
derstands and recognizes through
it's own similar experience. But
does the Sympathetic" third an.
gle Of the human triangle per-
form such a service? Not often.
Her ideas Of sympathy gener-
ally satisfy themselves with ca.
tering to the mans vanity, tell
ing him he is a much abused per-
son, and Of course his wife, who
is vastly inferior to him, can't
understand him. Such sympathy
heightens the disconnected mans
sense Of discord and turns him
more and more from home influ-
ence to the sycophantic obeis-
ances of the woman who Is try
ing to make him feel good and
not to be good.
Now real sympathy ought to
mean the harmony and accord
which come from affections end
inclinations in common, tastes
shared, ideals understood and
ambition for growth. No perma-
nent association can be formed
between two people who are
planning to travel in opposite di-
rections on life's road.
If a husband and wife have
totally different goals in view
and neither will conform to the
others longings and ideals, natur-
ally they cannot travel together.

CHAPTER III

For some moments Sam remained
where he was, staring after the girl as
she fitted down the passage. He felt
dizzy. Listening to Eustace Hignett S
story Of his blighted romance, Sam
had formed an unfattering opinion OF
this Wilhelmina Bennett who had
broken off her engagement simply be-
cause on the day Of the marriage his
cousin had been short Of the necessary
wedding garment He had, indeed,
thought a little smugly how different
his goddess of the red hair was from
the object of Eustace Hignett's af-
fectIons. And now they had proved TO
be one and the same. 1t was disturb
ing. It was like suddenly finding the
vampire of a five-reel feature film turn
into the heroine.
Some men, on making the discovery
Of this girls identity, might have felt
that providence had interviewed to save
them from a disastrous ENHANCEMENT.
This point of view never occurred 10
Samuel Marlowe The way he looked
at 1t was that he had been all wrong
about Wilhelmina Bennett. Eustace-
he felt. had been to blame throughout.
If this girl had maltreated Eustace
finer feelings, then her reason for DO
ing so must have been excellent and
praiseworthy.
After all poor old Eustace
quite q good fellow, no doubt
in many WAYS but, coming
down TO brass tacks, what was there
about Eustace that gave him any IL
cense TO monopolize the affections OF
a wonderful girl? Where, in a word,
did Eustace Hignett get off? He made
a tremendous grievance of the fact
that she had broken off the engage
ment. but what right had he to go
about the place expecting her to De
engaged to him? Eustace Hignett, no
doubt. looked upon the poor girl as
utterly heartless Marlowe regarded
her behavior as thoroughly sensible

ing this at the eleventh hour, she mad

throughout. 1t was women Ike VIII

n,atas-who made the world worth
