Artistic ype Has Appeal
 For Girls

F NCHANTMENT lies in the very IT. term artistic type of man." The
 girl who is to marry a painter, a poet or a musician feels that her life is to be tempered by the gods and spun with golden threads. She brides her self that her mans life is guided by ideals and their life together will be different from any other couple upon earth. And she is right! No two painters, poets or musicians are alike
 The man who gives his life to art is bound to be tempermental. There have been few exceptions, and in some rare cases the artistic type oi man has proved himself both practical and level-headed. But as rule the man who gives his life up to art, to poetry or to music is emotional, high strung and imaginative. i, He must be to produce the type of work which springs from his soul. sa
 All this means that the, girl who is to marry the artistic type. must re. spect his moods, his whins and his dreams of things to come true. She must dream with him, and If his dreams fail to produce the fame, the Rolls Royce or the bungalow in the country, she must be content to- dream other dreams, even though her own practical nature tells her they will never materialize. ~
 In one respect the girl who ,marries the artistic type of mand oes find hei life spun with golden threads. It may not be the gold which be used fol worldly luxuries, but it is- the gol6 of ideals, of the fine arts, and learning to see things with different oeyes."
 No wife can stand by and watch hel artist husband paint beautifuf picture or do a perfect etching without seeing life differently. Every tree, ever, brook, every child in the park becomes study to her, and even though she Il unable to lift brush or pen herself she sees life in new light with all iti dreams and coloring. ess3
 No wife can listen to the words o her poet husband, with their rhythm and gentle sentiments, without seeini life in a sweeter, keener, truer light She learns to see the beautiful in tb' commonest, most humble act of life And in this new gift, is she not rich is her life not spun with gold?
 The same may be said of the must clans wife. Music becomes hear beat of life. The faintests murmur o the brook, the steaming tea kettle al pour out original, fantastic airs whicl never before reached her ears. Al life becomes a world of music and hk the artists and the poets wife sh | learns to live in another world a though reborn, seeing it, with tn dreams and vision of the man she mar ried.
 The wife of the artistic man mus learn that the everyday worries an l cares do not belong to her husband She must take the practical lead an | not worry him over the minor detail of the running of the house. He vii be happy in the fact that 1t is ru ] right but just what she must g through in order to obtain this fright ness" will not interest him.. Heradut l is to see that everything runs smooth ly and then to be able to dream tn dreams that will help him in his worb | She must inspire rather than discour | age him.
 Nor does this mean that the womal who maries the artistic type necessaril must be a Pollyanna. Genius of an, type likes criticism if it is given in tn l right spirit. To tell man he IS failure, that dollars and cents are tn only attributes of success will neve inspire him, to say the least, but tn woman who can point out some percep tible flaw gently, can tell why sh thinks it would be better another way is true helpmeet.
 The artistic man is a very uncer | tain type of man as far as worldl. success is concerned. He may sue l ceed and he may fail and you canno always say it all depends upon tn man. It depends in many cases upo fate, the right opportunity and tn right friends.
 My first question to the girl who ] to marry this type of man is5"Do yol love him? Do you love him So muc | that you would walk through fire an water for him? l you do, marry him You will be happy. For there is som indescrible charm about the artisti man which remains always for the gil who loves him.
 But if you are uncertain of you love, if you are a worldly little sou who craves fame and fortune, thin twice before you marry this artistic | tempermental man who paints an writes and writes and puts, the worl l into music. If you are not willing t dream his dreams and see life throug his eyes do not venture forth upon life | matrimonial craft with him.
 You must help to weave the goldel threads into your lives and unless yo' have this gift you will not appreciat | your man and make the most of him | -~-~-----------
