jetting better every day.
"I feel better than I ever d'd before,

I hare no worries or 'arcs." sh said,
and then added that she would feel even
better If the doctor had not caused her
to oeaee drinking coffee and tea because
of the effect upon her heart after the

The sense of proportion Is the appre
ciation of what 1 worth while. It rep
resents regarding great things as great,
and small thing as small It Is a
Judgment made a part of character.
The sense of proportion is to be ap
plied to several Elements In American I
life, 'me field of application relates t' ,
the relationship of labor and of lelauic
Leisure without labor is Idloness; labor!
without leisure Is drudgery. Roth rue
bad. Work with sow leisure Is con- '
tentment, self-approbation, usefulness
l.elsuie wlih work la recreation, happi
ness, i est fulness The proportion 1 l"
lie maintained.
The same sense of proportion I to b
als'i applied to wealth and to compr
tern), The slruggl for weslth is nm
su much a struggle for money as ll
Is a struggle for power. Many gie,.l
men do not car for wealth, some lov
fame, others love, power.
The mare desire for material accumu
lation la lessening. The miser sems
to have passed out of life snd llleratur,
but the community is becoming keenly
sensitive to the power of money.
It cost most men too inuoh, It cost
many men friendships, larg apprecia
tions, noblo relationship and bisadth if
living. It costs soma msn home.
With a competency mora men should
be contsnt. Knough should b enough
Th trouble ) that to near! all of
enough mean a lltti more than wa v
got! The great prlnolpla of neither too
ranch or too llttl hould prvll. Thi
tamperat gone of poasasslon, half-way
between the arctic of limitation and the
tropical ot undue luaurlane, rswsseaa
the proper sphere.
Thl lame of proportion I farther to
be applied to what may be called th
sphsr of aelf-cultur and of publlu
duty. On ow to on self certain
duties, one owes to th publio certain
duties. These two ssts of duties ar to
he fairly adjusted.
If one live for on' Mil only, h
live for a vary Unworthy objsct. If
on live for th oommunlty only, he
soon ha no lif which U worth offering
to th oommunlty,
On la to live for on' sslf hi order to
mek that life rich, strong, broad, great;
and this life thus mad I to b given
to th great common life of all. Tha
Ufa greatest In Itaolf should be made,
greatest out of II self.

A wife hss a right to expect that her

man has made up his mind that h Is
Ureil of running with the hoys and pre
fers the lady he ha askd to ha his
vlfe to any other woman In tha worM
he doe. a most dishonorable thing t'
irmri y.
f'osslhly In the olden ilays, when a
men really did s woman a favor li
keeping her from being an old maid,
Iherc nn some excuse for th man wh
msrrlfil s alrl anil put her down In n
home or a boarding house, and left
her lonely while he went off to amuse
himself with his boon companion. No
such es'iise prevails now. Tha unmarrle!
woman Is verv comfortable as aha h,
lliank yon, anil doesn't neej to get mat
r led for an occupation or a anpport.
Fnrlhirmore, she wouldn't If she ha l
th faintest Idea that a man was marry

somebody to keep a coinforiabl pla'-e

Is going to spend his evenlnas at his
i Inb, or playing poker, or has an In-
in si lil propensity for taking blonde out
to dinner and supper and automobile rid -lug.
In plain Justice he should stsy slnnls.
There I no compulsory marriage law.
A wife has a right to expent that her
husband will make h.r his comrade an I
friend, and give her some of hi com
panlntishlp. If a man Is of the oplnlo'i
that his wlf has not fh Intelligence ' i
understand his mighty maaculltia ,nicl
lect, or see th point of hi wit, he should
not have married her. Ma should tint t
picked out somebody In hi own risen,
and at least hsve given her an oppor
tunity of marrying orn man on h.r
own plan. Then sha might have had
little companionship.
ff, however, ha thinks she Isn't a fo ii,
and very few men do think that of their
wives, then It I up to blm to mak'
some effort at trying to ha chums with
her, and It would surprls most husbsnds
nearly to death If they would only find
out what awfully good fsllows (h"lr

Th sversge American business man at

way of a kiss, and banga th front door
behind him. Me comes home late to
dinner, eats If In silence that la often
only broken to scold at fha children or

and paper, he settles himself for th.

That Isn't the kind of a happy even
Ing at horn that th girl who married
him dreamed of having, and tha wonder
of It I that more women who hus
bsnds never talk to them, and never
try to entertain them, and never evince
th slightest Interest In them, don't hunt
up soma other man who will mak him
elfSgreabl. A wife has a right to txpe.et thet her
husband will reapect her personal lib
erty a ahe does hi.
"Uberty" In niarrlag does not mean
"llcena" any more than It doea ny
where else. It simply mean that a wife
should hav Just as much right to free
dom of thought and act within th pr
crlbed bounds of propriety a a husband
has.
Matrimony la bound to b a rle of
concessions, but because a woman Is
married is no reason why she should
b forced to sacrifice her own personal
ity, and become a weak echo of her
husband. Provided ah doea not exceed
her allowance ahe should have the priv
ilege of spending her money as ahe likes,
and so long a kIic does not run the
thing Into the ground and Interfere with
her husband's romfnit she should hsve
tha right to Join whatever rluba she
pleaaea, or pass her leisure In the man
ner most agreeable to herself,
A husband soon baa-Ins to hat the wife
who pollrea his every move, and a wlf.
entertains pretty much the same feellns
toward the husband to whom she has t'i
go for permission for everything slit
doea, aa If she were a child. The tyrant
on the hearthstone Is never loved, no
matter what the ee.
A woman has a right to espert thai
her husband will do his share toaid
making a happy home. Ti'a a hlir Job,
making a happy honip. it's more than
any one prm can do, and especially
It a more than anv woman can do alone
