A PRIL 2.—I once Imagined, in the
cock-sure, self-satisfied man
ner of my sex, that I knew nil
about woman. I thought it was like
looking into a stream so limpid that
nothing was hidden by anything .13
vague as a shadow, but I know now
that it is more like gazing into a
mirror which throws back one's own
reflection and reveals nothing of it
self.
Kor these many years I have been
gazing into the mirror Sally Spencer
held before me and thought l saw
the soul of the woman. I realize to
day that I saw only my own opin*
ions of her.
I have learned much through her
sorrows; I. who had known her close
ly and Intimately for many years and
did not know she had a grief!
It has given me many an hour of
painful reflection. Somehow I seem
to see a dreary procession of wom
en. each bearing on her shoulders n
burden that grows heavier and heav
ier as infirmities approach and the
charms of youth vanish. And that
burden is man's love! We give it us
If it were endowing a most precious
jewel.
"It will serve as a magic.” we tell
her. “to keep away loneliness and re
gret and pain and sorrow. Only ac
cept it and wear it, and you will lead
a charmed life.”
Young and Gay.
She is young and gay and thought
less when we torment her to accept
our love. She doesn't know that the
precious jewel is only a worthless
bauble. She hasn’t learned from the

loneliness and regret and pain and
sorrow, but rather a lodestone that
attracts them.,*
"It is fight, fight, fight all the time;
a fight to retain my personal charms;
a fight to keep him Interested; a
fight to forget myself in satisfying
every longing he may have, physical,
mental or spiritual; a fight to give
him just so much of myself he will
never know' satiety and will always
want more; a fight to keep him from
the clutches of that Other Woman,
always standing like a threatening
phantom in the background, and th 11
when I have hie love, whnt do I pos
sess? Something about as lasting as
a soap bubble and never worth the
price! ”
That was the cry of Sallv Spencer
and it seems to me to be the cry of
all the wives dragging in weary pro
cession before my mental vision. They
are all fighting so hard to keep th
love ?ome man once urged them ■ o
accept, and we. who should be' th.
ones to fight to keep the love of worn
an. are cruel in the knowledge th ;.
having once won her love 50 easi 1 .
and thoughtlessly we have von ii
for life.
I have seen a great deal of Sali\
since the morning a week ago wher j
she dropped the mirror she had ai
ways held before her and let me see
into the depths of her soul. She
seems to find a greater joy in the
presence of the children, something
deeper than joy, in fact, a comfort, a
promise, a forgetfulness.
"I always wanted a baby.” she said
wistfully one day, “but Jack didn’t."
On another occasion she remarked
that every wife made a great mistake
in thinking that the love a man had
for her would be the greater if then*
were no children to share it. “It
grows less.” with a sigh, “and I wish
I could tell this to all young wives.”
She says little about Jack’s wan
derings into forbidden paths, but )
gather from chance remarks that
they had not been numerous, but have
been serious while they lasted.
“Every man." bending her head
over a rent in a doll dress which she
was repairing, "stations his wife at
a fixed post and wanders away,
knowing he will find her there with
arms outstretched to welcome him
whenever it suits him to retufn. If
she reproaches if she chides, if she
weeps, he will only wander off again,
and remain longeer She must smile,
with her aims outstretched, grateful
that he returns to her; ignoring for
the sake of her happiness and the
security of her home the fact that he
comes back with another woman's
kisses still warm on his lips.”
She Knew Max.
She said it as if thinking aloud
And I. as one who also though aloud
replied: "Yet. knowing this, you one*
almost made a match between Mai;
garet Hill and me. I can’t imagin«
she would stand on a fixed post with
her arms outstretched in forgiveness
She is good; so good she is removed
above every understanding of temp
tation; so good she could never for
give.”
"But you would not wander away,
Max. 1 know you better than you
know yourself.”
