MEDITATIONS
MARRIED WOMAN
Rowland.

Breaking a mans heart is not
a cruelty, but kindness; mans
heart, like his teeth, has to be
made to ACHE before he is con.
scious Of its existence.
A woman may love a man for
his brute strength" or even for
his weaknesses, for his fascinating
worldliness or for his plain,
homely virtues--but she has to
love him in SPITE of his Adams
apple.
A man is. never interested in a
heart that is marked ITO Let;
he prefers to make himself miser-
able by trying to squeeze into
one that is marked mo Vacan--
cies."
Marriage is the point at which
a man stops waiting for a woman
to make up her mind, and begins
waiting for her to- make up HIS
mind.
Most men seem to think that a
girl should be perfectly Satisfied
with a "part.time" love and a sort
of cooperative interest in their
evenings and affections these
busy days.

woman and a good wife and /

man MUST have diversion for
his spirit and inspiration for his
vanity! And alas, am BORED

Yet what man hath looked into
his WIFE'S eyes and perceived
the boredom therein?
For, behold, there cometh a
time in every woman's life, when
she wearieth secretly Of the eter
nal sameness of mans ways
and the eternal nIonotony Of
likes.
When she knoweth all his
Jokes by heart and can foretell
his thoughts before they are
spoken.
When her ears are smitten
with hardening unto his advice
and with listening to his judg-
ments and his complaints.
F When it filleth with ennui to
behold his eating his eggs at
breakfast and to pretend interest
when he readeth the paper aloud
to her at dinner.
When the sound Of his snoring
is as a riveting machine in her
ears and counting Of his linen is
a weekly penance to her soul.
When she is weary of trying to
"understand' when he diccusseth
his business and fatigued with
applauding when he boasteth OF
his golf.
When she closeth the door be-
mind him with a sigh of relief in
the morning and Is not displeased
when he spendeth an evening at
his club.
When all life seemeth but mo-
notNy, and all joys seem stale
and there Is nothing NEW under
the sun.
Yet, she saith in her heart:
GO to. this is marriage! Re-
hold, this In HE, whom | have

vanity nor dim his illusions about
himself. And, neither he nor

GARRETT P. SERVISS TELLS OF
EAST AND WEST
From West to East" Has No Connection With
Any Fixed or Straight Direction.

Imagine the small circle repre-
senting the axial rotation of the
earth, either at a. or at ''B" to
be placed in the middle OF the
large circle, making its center
coincide with the sun, and you
see that the arrows in both cir
cles would coincide in direction
all around. The motion Is every
where from west to east, |. e.,
the same way around the circle.
Compare the rotational motion Of
the earth at "A" with that at
"B" and you find the same
agreement.
Referred to fixed space the d.
rection least" for a person stu
ated at "a on the earth is, to
be sure, at right angle to that
for person at "b, and directly
opposite to that for a person at
&C." But east and west really
have no relation to fixed space.
Now, when the earth is at "A"
suppose yourself at the point "a.
1t is midnight there. But the
earth is turning eastward, and in
about six hours you are carried
to 3D." At that point you see the
sun rising, from the east. Six
hours later you are at &C." and
the sun has moved APPARENTLY
from the east horizon to the meri-
dian, and it is noon. Another
six hours and you are at ID" and
the sun, having travelled westward
down the sky. Is getting in the
west. At "B" the same succession
occurs in the same order, only
there the sun is on the other
side.
Next, consider the motion of
the earth in its orbit. 1t Is con-
tinually toward the east. When
It has arrived at "B" its motion,
with reference to space, is oppo-
site to what it was at "A, but
that makes no difference, since
It does not affect the west-to-east
revolution around the circle.
Thus you see that with this
single, simple diagram the appar-
ent contradiction and confusion
with reference to the direction
of east or west can readily be
got rid Of Do not allow yourself
to be puzzled by the fact that on
the surface Of the earth we find
objects permanently posted either
east or west of one another. That
Is simply a matter of relative
situation on the circumstance Of
the earth.
When you are at "a" the point
''b" is necessarily east of You
because it is ahead in the sense
of the rotation. When you ar
rive at 3D." then %" itself will
have been carried to &C." just as
far east" Of you an 1t was be-
fore.
