Women and Love

lunleaa she has eliminated from her na
ture the power to entertain a great and
absorbing and dominating passion, she
muat feel toward the man she loves, In
the main essentials, the same emotion
which her great grandmother felt.
It Is the natural and wholesome order
of things that a man should be the
money-maker and the bread-winner.
Woman's natural and wholesome place
Is the home-maker and keeper. When,
by fore of circumstances, accident or
Inheritance, the woman Is the purse
holder, she docs not love the man If she
vaunts this fact In the eyes of the worlu.
A wife who held that she was de
votedly In love with her husband took
pains to inform callers that "she feath
ered her own neat." She had brought
him a fortune, while he was only a clerk,
and she built and furnished her own
home, . .
But by speaking of such a fact she
proved herself incapable of the refined
and tender qualities which enter into a
deep love. Had she really known how
to love she would never have found
pride and pleasure In making her callers
realize that her beautiful home was pur
chased by her own Inheritance. Instead
of being the offering of love. It was not
necessary to relate the circumstances,
K and pride should have kept
her silent. . . .
Another woman, gifted with a certain
talent which made her name known to
a large circle, exhibited pride and satis
faction when Indelicate people called her
the "head of the house." She even went
so far as to repeat the sentence to the
quiet, cultured and Intellectual gentle
man who had honored her by making
her his wife.
Had she known how to love she would
not only have kept such a tactless
speech from her husband, but she would
herself have been wounded Instead of
flattered by It.,, . .
No woman can love a man and desire
to be thought the head of the house
which bears his name. No woman can
love a man and take pleasure In having
people think her "smarter or more ca
pable than he in his own domain.
If the fact forces Itself upon her. In
spite of her love and devotion to him,
that she Is smarter and more capable,
she suffers keenly, because the real hap
piness of a woman who loves comes
through ' looking up to her lover and
loaning upon him In all the big Issues of
life.
In this age nearly all women are
"doing something." In the days of our
Puritan foebears careers for wives were
scarcely known. Now almost every wife
one meets sings, paints, writes, plays, re
cites, lectures or gives readings.
Advice to Lovelorn

Dear Miss Fairfax: During my college
vacation this year I chanced to meet a
young lady on the tennis courts st Cen
tral Park. I have played tennis with her
for several weeks every day. and I have
grown fond of her. Not only that, but
1 sincerely feel that I love her. She has
told me recently that It was her intention
to receive private tutoring In French this
fall, and, inasmuch as I am proficient In
the language, I have olfered my services.
However, 1 insist upon receiving no fee
in return. Naturally enough, she refuses
to accept my tutoring. E. Q.
Naturally enough you do not want to
accept a fee for your services from the
girl for whom you care. On the other
hand, she undoubtedly does not feel Justi
fied In taking up your time without In
any way recompensing you. Try to make
her feel that the privilege of doing this
work with her means a great deal to you,
and If she insists that she cannot accept
your services quite free, try to compro
mise by suggesting that she give you a
bit of her handiwork or some book which
you are very anxious to own for Christ

Dear Miss Fairfax: I am IS, and a

Unless thin man singles you cut for his

she bears. '
For it Is a reflection, when those un
acquainted with the qualities of a man
in private life take It for granted that
he Is dominated by his wife, and pre
sume to suppose that his wife enjoys
the situation. If she does she .a incapa
ble of love absolute: Of course there Is
it type of man who kills out the power of
love In a woman's nature.
He Is the man who, after he wins a
woman, proves the petty tyrant and en
deavors to obliterate her Individuality and
to crush every ambition she may have
for self-Improvement. Such a man sneers
at his wife's opinions, doubts her judg
ment. Ignores her feelings In a thousand
contemptible ways, makes her conscious
of his belief In his own supremacy and
superiority and of her nothingness.
That the wife of such a man might
enjoy her hour of triumph when some
time regarded by the lndlscrimlnatlng ob
server as his superior, would be but nat
ural. But such men are not as fre
quently encountered as the "New
Woman," whose prldo Is not In the man
she loves, but In her own achievements,
be thoy lessor or greater, and whose talk
of love does not ring true.
When a woman really loves a man It
Is a pain to her to prove him mistaken
In his opinions or Judgments.
She would rather, when In argument,
be proven wrong herself, even while mo
mentarily piqued, for the very foundation
of a woman's love must rest on the rock
of admiration.
There Is a maternal love In most
women, but It Is quite another emotion
from the great primal Instinct which
causes a woman to select one man from
all the world as her type of the Ideal
protector and friend and comrade.
It Is an Impulse of maternal love to
feel pride and happiness In being the
stronger nature, and In giving pity and
comfort to the weaker child, and to laugh
over Its faults and weaknesses. Every
mother considers herself stronger and,
wiser than her child. But when a wife
is proud and satisfied to think herself
stronger and wiser than her husband she
has not known real love.
She may be the natural mother, but
not the fully developed woman. In every
great love the maternal element must
enter, but It most not be the dominant
element. It Is impossible for a woman
to feel admiration and pride and respect
for a man unless he deserves it; but let
no woman rlose as an Intensely devoted
and loving wife while feeling gratifica
tion and vain pride at being thought "su
perior" to her companion.
And if a man wants to arouse the high
est type of love of which a woman Is
capable let him make himself one to
compel her respect, her admlHatlon and
her love all In one.

If you ask a return of what you have
given reciprocity, as well as good taste,
would dictate a return of his presents.
As to your marrying some other man and
making him a good homo and yourself
happy, that is for the future to decide,
but the chances are time will heal the
present wounds and you will meet some
one upon whom your affections center
and who will reciprocate. Better remain
single, however, to the end of your days
than marry a man who does not love you,
no matter what your attitude toward
him.

A good definition of man would be
"the picture-making animal." Just as
the school child usually U-glns to draw
ruds figures of men and women, dogs,
cats and horses, as soon as It its com
mand of a slate and a pencil, so In the
childhood of our race the p.rUuial ginlu
of humanity showed Itself by rude dt aw
ing and rough painting made on the
walls of the caverns which were men s
first permanent homes.
Within a few years past a great num
ber of prehistoric cave pictures have
been brought to light, especially In thn
lower slopes of tho Pyrenees mountains,
on both the French and the Spanish
sides, and in the mountains of southern
Spain. The reuder can judge from what
ho sees on this page of the surprising
nature of these pictures maJe by Neoli
thic man centuries before what we call
history began In Europe.
Colonel Wllloughby Verner Is one of
liie latest discoverers of cave pictures
In Spain, and a photograph of them here
reproduced Is due to him.
The pictures are not mere curiosities,
but they throw light upon the char
acter of those ancient representatives of
man and upon the appearance of tho
world at a time so remote that even the
use of Iron, bronze or copper had not yet
been dreamed of. To come upon them
In the gloomy recesses of caverns, which
are often, situated in places not easily
reached. Is like getting an unexpected
view behind a curtain that has not been
lifted for many ages.
The outlines of the drawings are so
like the rude sketches mode by children
that one can at first hardly persuade
himself that they are the work of men
doing their best to picture the scenes
around them, while on the other hand
the drawings are so perfectly preserved
In many cases that It is equally difficult
to realize their enormous age.
In the caves examined and photo
graphed by Colonel Verner the drawings
are usually made with red or yellow
pigments on the light-colored sandstone
of the walls. Sometimes there are two
or throe sets of drawings wnlch have
been made one over tho other with dif
ferent colored pigments. The animals
represented Include stags, hinds. Ibexes,
oxen, horses, wolves, dogs, fishes, birds,
etc., as well as men and women.
A very Interesting circumstance is that
some of the men are represented as
carrying bows. Colonel Verner thinks
that the pictures In one of the Anda
luslan caves were intended - to repre
sent hunting scenes. This la extremely
Interesting, because the same motive is
found in many of the drawings of a muoh
higher artistic eharaoter that were made
by the ancUeit inhabitants of Greece and
of Crete.

ness as a factor in my success. From a

had to be done to the nest of my ability
and knowledge. Nothing else would ever

with me today as It ever was.
