The result is that improvdent unfortunately numer

Lost Trails
BY Elsie Robinson
T NOTICED it first some years . Hid

Hidden affairs of sacrifice
Merry gypsy camps
All of them were waiting, there
in the shadow
Some day when we have time
we will follow these trails we
said TO ourselves.
But somehow the day never
came.
We were too busy and dis
tracted----
There was so much to do on the
great highway. so much to see.
Very little of it was worth doing,
or worth seeing.
None of it could compare in
loveliness with that which we
might have found along the secret
But we couldn't tear ourselves
away
And, as time went on, we didn't
want to tear ourselves away.
Why had we been so crazy about
wood trails anyway?
They were uncomfortable things
dark and slippery-there was no
telling what might happen if we
left the highway and went rum.
maging off through the woods.
1t was really dangerous, and be-
sides, people might laugh at you.
So we tried to put our lost trails
from our minds.
But they would not be quite put
out.
And sooner or later we went
back that way and tried to find
them. But they had vanished.
other eyes-younser eyes-might
see them but we could not see
them any more.
And suddenly all life seemed the
poorer because We had lost our
trails.

SECRETS OF
HEALTH
BY DIR. Louis E. Bisch-

MEN like to poke fun at
AVA womans intuition. In fact,
that intuition is a myth; that It
does not actually exist.
That there is such thing as
intuition we have ample proof. 1t
amounts to a distinct mental fac
ulty like reasoning, but it is
directly the opposite Of reason
ing.
Intuition is kind of magma
ton. BY means of it the individual
fOreSees the effect of a given
action upon another before the
action takes place, or guesSes
accurately that such and such
person is going to behave in n
certain manner. or divines even
what another is thinking or feel
ing himself at all.
Intuition really Is. an uncanny
sort of sense. 1t is kind of third
eye through which the possessor
is able to see more, and more
penetratingly, than the person
WIN Is OICOSCu Will SIlIS lWO Sy U.s.
All women posses intuition, but
individual differences exist. Con-
sequently there are women who
are, decidedly more intuitive than
others.
The intuition of women puzzles
men a lot. Men are practically
without intuition. And when they
do posses it to degree they in
Variably mistrust it.
This Is because i?tuitive proc
esses are not of the .plus-two
variety--definite, tangible. objec-
tive-and subject to review or
proof step by step.
A woman reaches certain CON
illusions via her intuition, but she
cannot tell anyone. not even her
self, how she arrived at the result.
She really does not know. She
feels the conclusion to be correct
rather than thinks It.
And to man. of course. think
ing like that is no thinking what
soeVer.
Yet it is noteworthy that men
frequently consult their wives on
business deals. new enterprises and
on problems where their reasoning
abilities do not help them much.
Despite their belttling Of intuition,
they want to know what it has
to say after all.
Often, too. a man follows his
wife's intuitive dictates quite
blindly because he has learned that
it so seldom makes mistakes. He
is quite willing, through past ex-
perience. to make use of some
thing he does not understand or
believe in altogether.
Woman's intuition works best
In sizing up personalities.
Sometimes a woman likes or dis
likes a person very decidedly. Tx
actly why. she does not know. In

prove the promptinGs of her in

Nine times out of ten. however,
her intuition is correct, while her
reasoning is not.
1t is strange, being the posses
sor of so marvellous an insight into
human nature, that woman so
often chooses unwisely when it
comes to a mate.
When a woman is in love her
intuition does not seem to work

Undoubtedly the forces deter

intuitive ones. A woman may in

NEGOTIATIONS
OF A WIFE
BY Helen Rowland

Are Your Intentions" Honorable?
A WAY back in the quaint, old
"A pre-war days, woman used
to want to know what a mans
Intentions" were, before she
would grant him any faVors.
NOW, it's the man who de-
mands to know what a WOMAN'S
intentions" are before he will
give her any couragement! Oh,
dear me, yes!
The old-fashioned lover didn't
HAVE any Intentions. He just
drifted into a lOve-affair, and
thence into an engagement and
arriage-and could never tell
you HOW it all happened, even
after the honeymoon.
But the modern mans "inten-
tons" are perfectly clear! He mas
every intention in the world of
keeping OUT of marriage! Moth.
ing is farther from his intentions
than getting 'sewed up" with
Liz ole Sweet Thing! And he
makes no secret OF the fact.
In these enlightened days, a
Ale int 1nUO q flair
He goes into it with his eyes
wide open, his senses alert, and
one foot in the crack Of the door,
poised for flight at the first sign
Of danger.
When he enters a girls life,
the first thing he Goes is mentally
to mark all the exits and fire
esca pes. After that, he can start
making love with his finger on
his pulse and his eye on the
This Way Out" sign.
1t lie the girl who has to keep
her fell designs dark and camou-
flage her intentions, to pretend not
to take a man seriously. when she
is planning to TAKE HIM at any
cost! To affect supreme scorn for
the idea of marriage, when that is
the one idea in her mind, and she
has her bridesmaids all mentally
lined up.
1t is the woman who dares not
wear her intentions" on her
sleeve, but must hide them away
in her bosom, and reassure timid
man.
Even when her intentions are
purely "companionate," she finds
1t safer to dilute them, and not to
be too sweet and chummy. Be
cause, how can a man be sure, in
these primordial times, that her
intentions are HONORABLE? She
may be pretending to be good
pal, and secretly plotting, all the
time, to get him to the altar.
A mans Intentions" are the
same today as they have always
been since Paris played around
with Helen--to AMUSE himself!
But he has become so marriage
shy, SO woman-proof, so "CAGY,"
that he can no longer be lured,
coaxed or led blindfold to the altar;
and it takes twice the ingenuity
to back him into harness now than
1t did in Mothers day. Every
modern wedding is a masterpiece
Of strategy! That is why most
brides look 50 tagged out by the
time they walk down the white
ribboned aisle!
