"The evidence at the murder trial
showed that he was married to a wife
"who was a human terror, and that he
could not go to his dally work without
having her put him on the rack on his
return and drag out every trivial thing
that had happened during the day," re
plied the Bookkeeper. "He testified that
the minute he put his foot on the door
mat she'd begin a regular catechism that
would go like thin:
" "What girls have you seen today V
" "Who were they?'
" 'Were they pretty r
" 'Do you think they are as good look
ing as I am?'
" 'Would you marry one of them if I
died?
"Would you commit suicide if I died?"
If you married again after I died
would you love your second wife as
much as you do me?"
The poor simp," murmured the Sten
ographer sympathetically.
"Well," continued the Bookkeeper, "the
unfortunate fellow stood It as long as he
could. n even did the best he could by
trying to reply In a vay that would
please her, but he never cou!d guess the
nnswer right. No matter which way he
lied It was the key for wlfey to go Into
hysterics, and so one day he ended the
domestic civil rervice exam'natlon by
taking his gun and blowing off the lid
of the questloi box. It was a funeral for
wlfey alright when he got through an
swering her last kind inquiries."
"That was no way to treat a lady." said
the Stenographer, "but I am willing to
admit that as a discourager of curiosity
ne was a headliner.
"And yet they hanged him for It."
sorrowed the Bookkeeper. "I wonder why
the poor gink d'dn't demand his consti
tution rights to be tried hy a Jury of
his per a Jury of mmrled men, for
I'm wise that no married man would
have brought In that verdict.
"Do you know what drives a man to
drink? Tfs when he gets home at night,
tired and worn, and hungry, and nerve
racked to have his wife begin to put him
through the third degree before he gets
his hat. off.
"You know how she tears it off: 'Where
have you been? WHBRH have you been?
Where HAVE you been? Where have
YOU been? Where have you BEEN?'
The wonder Is to me Is that this
oman In the west Is the first one that's
gotten murdered for It."
"Oh, I don't know," replied the Steno
grapher, "when It comes to wanting to
know where the partner of your bosom
has been, women are not the only Inter
rogation points. There are others, but
the trouble Is that men don't have to
answer unless they want to, but a woman
has to be always ready to prove an alibi.
"But you are all to the good when you
say that women's curiosity Is forever
getting them In trouble. Lot's wife Isn't
the only fresh lady who has been turned
into a pillar of salt by looking back at
the wrong time and seeing what she was
never Intended to see. There are plenty
of other women who could have been
packed down In brine In the tears they
have shed over the things they had no
business peeking Into.
"And the questions women ask their
husbands look as If they had bats In
their belfries, don't they? If a man
meet, a sweller looking doll than his
wife is. what does she want to know It
for? And what makes her ask him such
k fool question aa whether he will marry
again or not If she dies'; If he Is a
gentleman he is bound to lie to her."
"The less we know the leas we have
to worry about," observed the Bool-
keeper. sententlously.
That's the idea." agreed tne eteno-
rapher. "curiosity lor we singio,

What Shall We Do with

"What shall I do with my life?" asks j
Eleanor. "For three years I have been j
In love with a young lawyer, who I
thought waa In love with me. lie went
up to the city to make enough money to
be able to support me, and now that he
has met with success I feel that ho has
outgrown me. He Is all I care for In
this world, and I think perhaps I could
hold hlra if I tried. What shall I do?"
When a woman has to "try" to hold
man's lovs, her best chance of happi
ness Ues In not trying, to my honest
advice to Eleanor is to send the man
firmly and one for all about his business
and then set about her business that ot
making the most of the brains and talent
feel sure she has from the clear and
sympathetic way she expresses herself
In the letter of which I have quoted
only a part. But I doubt very much if
this honest answer is what Eleanur
wants.
Most normal girls hav- a normal.
human craving for love. When they find
the man who gives it to them and to
whom In turn It Is possible for them tj
give affection, almost all women cling
with a desperate fear that life will ofur
ihern nothing more If they resign what
they have. Women are not what is
known as "good sports;' 'they am afraid
of taking chances; they hold fast to
what they have, and they endure all
sorts ot unhappy, uncertainty -ather than
Lake a firm sup in a direction that may
turn out to be the wrong one.
Almost every Individual cornea fairly
soon to the cross-roads of life and
imagines that there la only one path of
the lour It would be safe to take, and
desperately fears taking any one of the
three that are wrong. Now, as a matter
of fact, life does not offer auy such
minimum of opportunity as that. There
are probably three paths that would be
rUbt and safe to take. -
I( Eleanor and all other Eleanors were
bravely to resign the love In the very
clinging to which they find suffering,
there are undoubtedly at least two and
possibly three paths to bappinesa open
to them.
First of all there Is honest, earnest
work. That U sura to lead to a gain In
self-respect and power, and is even likely
to lead to position and place In the
world. Then theie Is service In others.
On this second path Eleanor would find
that In ignoring bed own desirea ar
longings and in creating happiness for
others, she made an atmosphere of Joy
which reacted on her and let her share
In It. And the third cross-road leads to
another love a bigger, braver, finer j
thing.
Every woman who Is an idealist longs
to many her first love. It would. In
deed, be beautiful and splendid If when
first one gave one's heart one were sure
home and family and the permanent
Joys of life were to be budded on that
gift of love. But this Is not so.

Thanksgiving
By PERCY SIIAW.
Thanksgiving, bold your beacon high!
Strike off our fetters, ball and chain;
Rescue our memories 'ere they die '
And with them make us young again.
Bo shall the years like wraiths roll back
The while we find our childhood place
Where once with heedless thoughts and slack
We listened to the mealtime grace.
Thanksgiving, then your beacon glowed;
Then was the future writ In flame;
Then hopes came true In dreams that flowed
Through vales of gold to hills of fame.
These pass and from the far away
Our mother's voice sounds subtly near
"We thank Thee for Thanksgiving day,
And oh, we thank Three to be here."
Thanksgiving, hold your beacon high
For us who need the childhood heart,
In crowded streets where passerby
Know but the call of trade and mart.
Give us the wlah to kneel and say,
Like that stilled voice, how sweet, how clear
"We thank Thee for Thanksgiving day,
And, oh, we thank Thee to be here.'
Our Lives?
Answer Rests with Each.

life together. This la no one's fault It
Is Just on Inevitable principle of, growth.
If Eleanor wants to hotd to her dream
of love and marry the man to whom she
gave her first affections, a blessing on
her, and may she be happy. If Eleanor
wants to do the safe, sane and sensible
thing she will go frankly to her fiance
and tell him of her feeling that they have
grown apart and all that holds them Is a
delicate bend of youthful dreams.
If he agrees, she will give snd tske
freedom proudly and lire wilt still He be
fore her a splendid, wonderful thing If
she but choose to make it so.
There Is no heartbreak In this world.
There Is only pain and longing, which,
when encountered and endured, permits
one to evolve Into greater strength snd
power. Buffering has a value and makes
rather than breaks strong souls.
There Is no such thing as the oft-repeated
sentiment that comes to me In let
ters: "I cannot live without lilin. What
shall I do with my life If I give him up?"
Deprived of I ho love one wants, any
human being still hss before her a choice
of the roads ahead service, work or
other love. Why grope Idly up end down
the path over which you have come and
over which you mayjiot go again? Why
cling to illusion?
Eleanor and all the Eleanors In the
world, I beg of you go bravely to the
man whose love you feel Is no longer a
free gift. Offer It bark to him freely.
If he takes It your uncertainty is over,
you know the worst and can face It. If
your fears are wrong, how happy you

"Whst thall I do with my life?" Why,
face It bravely, work It out yourself with
out waiting for chsnne or rhurlty to give
you what you want. For the brave soul
who dares there Is no defeat.
Do you know what would be the very
worst thing you have to face? it will be
temporary loneliness, a longing for some
one you may not see or touch or hear.
But that will pass and It will be aa noth
ing to the spiritual loneliness you would
have to face through long years of a
narrlage that was based on tho Illusion
of a one-time love, rather than on the
great glow of present understanding and
devotion.
Choose wisely and well. Eleanor. Your
happiness lies In your own hands.
