MEDITATIONS OF A WIFE, By HELEN ROWLAND

while comradeship, devotion, and
self-abnegation seem to bore him.
When a man chooses the right
woman and attains happy mar
riage,~ it is not his fault. 1t Is
sheer accident. fate, luck, or good
fortune. 1t is entirely against
his nature.
Every man does everything he
can to m Ike himself miserable for
life; and no 1nan ever picks q
wife with clear eyes and common
intelligence.
Nobody knows what makes a
man love a Woman-not even the
man, himself.
But, shi l think 1t is just plain
perVersityi Sometimes, l think a
