In that I awry delicacy known to an Italian lal.re d'hote had appeared In ravishing V h cession bn the table of the Amateur i Wife.' ' The Poet Oraduata Husband was en tranced. "Many have automobiles and a tfoodly number enjoy season boxes at tha opera, but ilpon the fingers of two hands rnay be numbered those persons In any community Who possess in) thing worthy to be called a cook. The Amateur Wife bad found her after a series of experiences witry native talent too disheartening to' relate. 'She was born In, Italy and spoke only Italian. Once the Tost Graduate Husband had tasted of her choice and highly flavored dinners he brushed up his Italian geog raphy . and .christened her the "Pearl of Piedmont." The Pearl, like every other jewel, was t without a flaw. The flaw In her case a certain irresponsibility toward Woof-Woof, the Angel Collie. Though the Amateur Wife had explained upon the Pearl's arrival, that Woof-Woof mast never be permitted to leave the house unchaperoned and that his disposition to run away was equalled only by a drop of quicksilver on an Inclined plane, the Bporilve Collie had several times made his escape. Tha Post Graduate Husband, detecting Woof-'oof aa tie was sneaking out the back gaf. had given chase and on his re turn had'swked His Wife to explain ber handmaiden's carelessness. Tha Pearl loved to explain! After cook ing, explanations were her greatest talent! "Ah, madajne, what would you?" she had volubly ejaculated. "How could 1 know, the do was going, out? I was on the very point of turning the omelette!" t The dog's Increasing wanderlust and tha 'earl's facile explanations, sowed the leeds of distrust In the breast of the Ama Aeiir Wife." ' And one afternoon as she Journeyed from New 'York In the company of the Post Graduate Husband a dull, depressing si lence fell upon her. ''Something has happened to my Woof Woof," she announced with sombre fatal ism. "1 have been worrying about him all day.' ' ''Nonsensey declared Her Husband with far . more certainty than ha felt. "Non sense! he repeated aa he turned the latch ey and they entered the dimly llghtd 'id dogiess" hall. The place" usually contained a wildly welcoming wool-woor. and In a moment the Amateur' Wife had sprungt to the pantry doorT ' "Marie" she called In her shrillest and most accusing accents, "where la my dog? What ' have' ' you done with my Woof "Wodf ?" '' '. , "If Vou please, madam," began the Pearl, 'oh, madam,' ff you please 1" And suddenly he dissolved Into wild hysterics. "The dog has gone! ' No Sooner were you out of the house than he ran 'out of the kitchen ddrtr and disappeared! 1 was Just turning a "outlet for my luncheon when" Here the banging of the pantry door cur- linFfiil her rllnt "the hss let" my doggy run away!" the Amateur Wife exDlained trairlcallv. "Ha'i en gone for hdurs! Oh, my little Woof- Woof! What shall I do?" And then she, too, melted Into hysterica and tears. The face ot the Post Graduate Husband set In Its sternest mask. 'Tell' her she won't do! Tell her to go back to Italy! Tell her I fire her!" he thundered. His Wife- shook her drooping head. Being a practical young person she did not pur pose to' lose her cook merely because she had lost' her collie. "How can 1 'fire' her when I've asked iieople I- eople to dinner toinorow?" she Inquired. Slam at the Bride J They were very younir and very happy, and very foolish, and very newly wed.

It hap pens so frequently that a good many sensi ble men hesitate about marrying girls who have means of their own. You do not hesitate to make It very clear that your new home was built "with my mon,ey." You never think far enough ahead, when you emphasize the fact that "your money" pays for a good many of the luxuries of your menage, to see that you are offering a good big boost to the conclusion Jumpers. You make It easy for them to think hat "your husband does not make a living." As a matter of fact, he may be making a very good income. Not enough, of course, to have the kind of house you have bu It. Nor perhaps enough fo dress the children and yourself as you are dressed. But you always explain that "your money" paya for your own and the chtlden's clothes. Naturally, a man who neither houses nor clothe his family can be accused of not making their livings. But you could live. and. you would live, If you. had no money of your own, on his Income. And It Is the decent thing for yon to do. If you cannot spend your own money without telling about it In such a way as to dis credit him. He begins to feel like a pensioner In "your house." When you go out together, you In Pari frocks that he could not af ford to give you, he hs none of the deep satisfaction of seeing you In the costume he ha provided. And men do like to be the providers for those 'hey love.

A no greater power on earth than love to Influence human lives. For this reason the Influence of Christ over men Is. greater than that of any other person. He stands alone, the one personality known to the race, who was the perfect embodiment of love. He loved the whole world and proved his love during his lifetime as he went about doing good and In his death, accord ing to the statement, God onmmendeth his love toward us In this: That while v were yet sinners, Christ died for us. 'ill kingdom was founded on love, not forc Most people think of Napoleon as one the strongest personalities In history, bu Naneoteon recognized before his dealt, that the power of Christ was Infinitely gTeater than his because of His love for the human race. This convinced him that Christ was divine and that His kingdom was everlasting and would subdue all other kingdoms. Jesus wept ever Jerusalem when he saw their degraded conditlpn and longed to help them. He said: "All power Is given unto me," put he did not call a legion of angels which was at his command. He dfd not take the sword. God Is love. He ex pressed to them and to the whole world sympathy and love. Here Is the secret of power for lifting up the fallen, for the bet terment of social conditions, for the solu tion of labor problems, political problems, business problems and for the maintenance of universal peace between all nations. Here Is the secret of power for saving men, women and children to better lives. A boy conquered by love. A friend of mine appealed to the authorities to turn over a reformatory to him and allow him to empty the Institution and to place the 115 boys from It In good family homes. Many of the officials said to do this would be to flood the country with criminals, and the proposition was at (flrst rejected, but one year later it was accepted, and he went to take charge of the boys. He be gan the power of love and sympathy to Glass-Held Up to the rich spirit which refuses to bend or bow simply because it overestimates the power of the dollar. In the differences that will come, you Tllng up your head and Intimate that you can do as you please since you can pay for the privilege. If your huBtu.nsr want the children to go to the publlo schools because he be lieves them the right educational machines to turn out good Americans, you Insist upon a fashionable private school "because you can pay for It yourself." The dollar spirit possesses you. You dominate everything with it. You consider yourself and are considered by women who have no money of their own a person to Mrs: SE-caT f-crKT. ARE.

The boys were brought In separately and many of them came with sullen countenance and defiant manner; they ended In tears and with a mighty purpose griping their lives. The warden told him that one big boy of 18 years was locked up in a basement cell. "No use talking to him," the warden Bald. "He is the worst tempered fellow we ever had would stick a knife Into you as quick as look af you. The penitentiary is the place for him." My friend stopped all proceeding and murmured to himself: "What an opportunity to test the power of love!" He offered an earnest prayer and turning rounflsald: "Warden, if I can t Influence that fellow for good, I'll give up the -whole Job." The warden led the way to the dark cellar, and there was, glaring behind the bars, the ferocious face of the boy criminal.' The cell door was unlocked and the warden went upstairs. A little later he came back and saw the boy sit ting in the corner of the dark passageway, Wife With Money j be envied. But you are not. You kill the love spirit In your home. You embitter your husband, who cannot but sense the fact that he Is underestimated as much aa your money is overvalued. ' If I were a man, I would not marry you If you were the only woman left and I was wild with loneliness and longing: You regajrd marriage a a partnership a long as the money is being made by the hus band. But you make It a kind of monopoly of .privileges and power when you happen jto ! have the most money. Without the least compunction you tumble the house hold gods In the dust and enthrone the golden calf. crying like a child, lie use conquered by love and sympathy. My friend got him a position. He made good. Five years later he visited the city where the young man had made such a good record and upon reaching him the young man pointed with pride to his place of business and ssld. "I own all this, and that fellow over there works for me." Had the old methods of force been employed In this case the young man would be found In some penitentiary for life. Only six of those 125 boys have been locked tip since that time and these were temporary. Love Is a silent force easily perceived. You need not announce It. ' If yo have kindness and love In your heart toward others they perceive It. Children seem to apprehend It more quickly than older ones and It Is sometimes wonderful how It In spires confidence and grips tha life of a child for good. Some time ago a boy was committed to a reform school as "utterly Incorrigible." An officer waa sent from the reformatory to get him. Two c" stables were detailed to deliver the boy at the station. To their astonishment a young lady, dainty and delicate In appearance., stepped up and said. "Is this my boy?" "Why you can't take him, he'll give you the slip In five minutes, etc." Fhe spoke to the boy a few words. Her look and tone of voice revealed to him her heart of love. She said: "Can I trust you?" "Yes." She handed him the money for a ticket. He took her valise, and as they walked to the train the two officer were seen shaking their heads. They could not understand it. The boy's life was com pletely changed from that hour. Children appreciate kindness and are easily influ enced by It What a thrill it gives a child to be trusted by those who love them! The same is true of older people. A noted river thief In New York when he was down and out and no place to Bleep at night, went Into the Jerry McAuley mission and told them that he had decided to change his life and become a Christian. He was asked to serve a watchman that night, the regular watchman being sick, and was re quested to call Mr. Hadley, the superin tendent, at 4 o'clock the next morning to take a train. Mr. lladley retired and a little later .came a knock at hi door. When opened there stood the river thief, who told him the clock was out of order and he had no means of knowing the time to call him next morning. Mr. Hadley handed him "his $160 gold watch. The man stood for nearly a minute, tear came to his eyes and he said: "You know my repu tation; you do not mean to trust that watch with me." "Certainly. You told us you Intended to live a better, life." Mr. Hadley was called for hi train. The river thief for year past ha been one of the most successful mission workers In New York City. Somehow, when you really love people you go a long way m trusting them. "Keep vpurselves In the love of God." Keep yourselves In the spirit of God's love toward men. You can then love everyone. Only the Christian can really love hi enemies. Those who are In the love of God are conscious of power over the lives of other to do them good. The world Is growing better. There Is more of human kindness and love In the world than ever before. The spirit of gentleness, of for giveness, of love la Increasing everywhere. This 1 the spirit of Christ and His king dom of love Is conquering selfishness In business, in politics, in social life. God hasten the day when His blessed kingdom shall be universal! God help us aa indi viduals to learn the secret of the power of love and then to exercise It for the ele vation of our fellow men and to make the world better and brighter!
