MEDITATIONS OF A MARRIED
WOMAN BY Helen ROWLAND
After ALL

Every girl is looking for the kind
of man who can make touchdown
in life, but most of them have to be
satisfied with a "cheer-leadcr" who
merely makes noise.
When a woman loses her hold on n
mans heart, it doesn't do much good
to try to hang onto him by the coat
tails of his conscience.
The average married man hands
over the weekly allowance to his wife
with all the alacrity Of a small boy
giving up his pet marbles to Teacher.
A man never realizes that he is nj
longer "a boy" until he wakes up
with a little shock, to discover that
his college ideals, his college jokes.
and his college romances, along with
his college pillows and pennants have
all become a little old-fashioned and
moth-eaten.
Most bachelors think of "love" as
dangerous quicksand, which first en-

''The greatest men are connected with
their own century always through

Geniuses are in most things far be-

in Elective Affinities."
"The first and worst OF all frauds is

them for the gift and was sure that !
had mailed it. But today while look

Now i don't know what to do
Should i send them letter explaining
my carelessness? III feel 20 ashamed
now, knowing they never received my
letter of thanks. B. G. A.
By all means write these people and
explain this to them. This il q cir
cumstance that might easily happen
and am sure that they will thorough-

letter even half as fine and gracious
as the one that you wrote me, they
will enjoy even a belated letter. And

LISTEN, WORLD!
Your Enemy
By ELSIE ROBINSON

Someone is holding you back in
life. ts-
Someone is trick;ng you, SANDER
ing you, betraying you, scheming
rgainst you, undoing your best eff
forts.
No, it isn't being done openly. so
hat you may have chance to fight
it.
This enemy Of yours pretends to be
your friend.
He is in your most intimate conf
dence.
He knows things about you which
no one else knows and can influence
you as no one else can.
You feel, indeed, that he is your
dearest friend and your only honest
eritic.
You trust him implicitly. and there
IN lies his opportunity TO do you end
less harm.
And you may be-sure he is taking
advantage of his opportunity.
For instance, take that criticism
which the boss made of your work.
Or which your sister-in-law made
If your housekeeping.
If that had been made OF another
worker you would have acknowledged
that it was q fair and helpful criti-
cism.
You would even have acknowledged
It's fairness in relationship to your
self if it weren't for this enemy OF
yours
But as soon MS he heard it he be-
-rnt to give it malicious intcrpreta-
ton.
"Don't YOU believe them.' he whis-
pered. They're just saying it out of
spite. They know how sensitive you
are and they like TO hurt you. As
matter of fact they couldn't do half
as well as you DO"
So he starts the thing TO fostering
IN YOUR mind.
Bv sly innuendo and open flattery
he builds mp both your own conceit
and your suspicion of everyone who
doesn't minister TO that conceit.
Sometimes. however. you are so
nlainly at fault that it's useless for
him to try to place the blame on the
other fellow.
These are the times when, IL he'd
leave YOU alone. yon might take hon
est stock of yourself and make some
murh needed reformation.
No. he begins to make excuses TO
you for yourself. -
"You didn't really mean to do that
thing" he purrs. "Your motives were
of the hest. But you weren't feeling
very we'll. and Won were worried and
everyone rushed You and picked on
vou'm' misunderstood you, so Of course
voI blundcred. But it was only. n
blunder-it wasn't n deliberate wrong
