Many men remain tied | to hateful wives, who fret and aggra- vate them almost to death, beca with all thele faults, thelr wives are still superlative cooks, and they can't bear to tear themselves away from the crea ture comforts to which they are accus- tomed. This western woman has cut the Gor- dian knot of these difficulties and showed | the unhappy married how to eat their| cake and have it too, as it were; how to hold onto husband's money and wife's ples, and still be free. It is to exchange the umcongenial roles of husband and | wife for landiady and boarder. The advantages of the situation are manifest at a glance. Let husband be come a boarder and he at once as- sumes company manners, for no boarder would feel free to talk to his landlady in the tone of voice in which the aver- age husband addresses his wife.

They can write a little—just enough to have gotten a story or a poem published in some obscure paper. They can paint a little~just enough to sell a few dinner cards or Christmas cards. They can sing little—just enough to shine in | amateur theatricals, or get an encore at the church sociable But that little is enough to make them 1{think that they are going to set the river fire with their genius, and so they go on strugglin and striving, year after year, trying to do something that they can't do, and getting poorer, and shab- bier, and hungrier all the time These near-geniuses never make good. who can never sell their their pletures, or get a position, fill the outer offices of newspaper, and magazine, and theatrical offices, and moving pictures, and they are the most forlorn sight in any great city 1 have | Copright stories or 1 séen so many of these near- genjuses that I want to entreat you girls | Who have talent not to waste it.

In the last two years we have seen girls who had not the skill to become high priced stage dancers coining money teaching women and men the fox trot, and many a girl is traving trying to be artist might make a fortune it she would go into the dressmaking or mil linery business. There she could make her feeling for color and her sense of line and form pay royal dividends, for while the market for pictures is, at least, a small one, the demand for more beautiful hats and gowns grows bigger year by year If you have talent, girls, thank God for it, but don’t be misled into thinking that a penny candle of ability is an arc light of genius. Try to compare your work dispassionately with the work of master minds, and abide by the de- eision.

Hospe Co. 1513-15 Douglas St., Is Woman’s Love Stronger? The great @istinction between the qaul- ity of the two sexes lies in the different powers of concentration. Their hearts are touched by a certain woman, their affections respond to the vibrations seen in motion by her affinity whioh claims a responsive clement; but underneath all this their real, ordinary work-a-day per- sonality is seldom touched. Thelr love s probably. sincers enough; but intermingled as it is with business cares, masculine friends mnd sports, the 101 odd things go to make up the ordinary | bachelor's life, it by no means occupies | their existence, and it may truly be said | of even the most devoted of men that they seldom allow their own personality % be shadowed or engulfed by their af- fections. There s an element of. selfishness, more or less, in all men, and at times the de- | yminations not to fall, or the thought | a possible rival, are more important | factors in & man's wooing than the actual love, itself. To sum up charitably, men love princi- with the other shell of their sonality, - sincere enough, but inter mingled with so many other personal clements that it is kept pretty much in the background, and only called into actual being as occasion requires. Women on the other hand (with the cxception of the few passionless, cold- blooded individuals who never realize the meaning and reality of true love) respond whole-heartedly to the tide of affections. They lovo passionately, with heart, soul and brain. It takes possession of their whole being to the exclusion of all else It is the key-note of thelr existence, dom- inates both thought and action, and so, is proportion to the fate meted out to them, they sorrow or rejoice.
