Will He Make Up for Everything

Phyllis says that her love for Hill
ary will survive everything. She faces
the future with confidence and Il. high
heart.
For, come what may, she will al
WAYS have him and he will make up
for everything.
Phyllis is a New York girl and for
the past five years her life has been
succession Of gay parties.
She's been used to entertainments
and distractions of every sort. She's
gone with bright, amusing people who
were clever at writing or painting
or acting.
Theaters and concerts have kept her
busy. She has an active mind and
New Yorks an ideal place for girls
like her.
But with Hilary she's going out
West out to a small town, where the
big thrill of the week is the Saturday
night movie.
She will find herself surrounded
with young married women whose
chief topic of conversation is a brand
new recipe for angel cake.
She will become involved in So
cial life such as she has never known
before, round of afternoon sewing
bees and evening bridge parties.
Phyllis, who loaths dull people,
won't find her new neighbors as spar
king and gay as those friends she
has left behind her.
Neither will she find the atmos-
phere of her new dwelling place as
stimulating to the mind.
VIII Hilary make up for everything
at the end OF two years of this quiet.
uneventful small-town life, to the
h.~trr rt,A Nt..J% -
fresh from a full, interesting life?
Phyllis is depending an awful lot
on that happy madness which now
possesses her. She expects this &C.
static new emotion to carry her
through years of borrdome. for Hilary
must spend at least six years in the
new home.
It's doubtful If any man can make
up for everything to the girl who
has grown accustomed to a different
sort Of life from the one he offers her
Every new wife should adapt her
self as much as possible to the
changed surroundings in which she
usually finds herself.
But when the change is as drastic
as that contemplated by Hilary and
Phyllis the town mouse must think
twice before settling down with happy
confidence to the placid life of the
country mouse.
You may love a man with all your
heart, but one emotion isn't strong
enough to carry you through years
of an existence which is distasteful to
you.
If you've trained your mind to
appreciate certain things-certain
types of people-don't think your
heart can sweep away the effects of
that training. Don't think you can
go and live comfortably without those
companions and interests which your
mind Graves.
A mans love will make up for
good deal.
1t will help you over rough spots
which would be impossible but for
mutual affection.
But even the strongest love won't
always make up for life which is
monotonous and dull, year in and
year out.
Consult your mind as we'll as your
heart when you're considering your
chances Of happiness In the life your
sweetheart offers you.

Most people. If they think about 1t

of sport and refers to a shot hitting

But its origin goes back farther
than that. It comes from the Middle
Ages, when reading and writing were
