It was Sandys third adventure into matrimony. and after the core- mony he remarked: "Weel, meeni- ster, I may tell ye thatehe was my first lovel"

"Yes sir, I was that," said the bride, “for when I was a lassie o‘ twenty he used to trot ma out along the mad where the manse now stands.”

After a while the bridegroom got more confidential, and added: "Yes, sir, she was my first love, an’ it ‘wud ha‘ been better for me if I had mar- rit her first. It would ha‘ saved me two burials."

CAPE TRAVERSE NOTES

The arrival cf the new Car Ferry Steamer-S. S. Charlottetown at Borden was greatly appreciated by the people hone and many people went to see her and examine the luxurious appartments throughout.

ms. Margarrt Mary Wright bf North Bedeque accompanied by Mrs. Annie Ross Morrison of Bum- merside recently were at Cape ‘Traverse the guest of Dr. and Mrs. Bell of Cape Traverse.

A number of people fromhere and vicinity attended the circus dis- played at Charlottetown and Sum- merside.

But you could have saved the situation if you had a little patience,

a little forbearance, a little discernment and a little sympathy for your

husband. You knew that the chance of his life had come to him and

i that he had to stake all that he had and more upon it. You knew the

frightful anxiety under which he was laboring. You knew that he was overworked, overstrained, that every nerve was quivering and raw.

so you might have sensed that there was really nothing in what he did and Said to you. You were just simply the escape valve for the irritability that he had to keep bottled up in him all day apd that he could not show to the outside world. If you had been big enough to realize this and had met petulance with gentleness, if you had laughed at ‘his fault-finding and turned the edge of his temper on your good nature, if you had potted him and amused him and iollled him instead of. arguing with him when he came home overwrought of an evening you could have saved this ugly break in your lives which you will never be able to quite bridge over. For always there will be between you the memo ,y of divorce of a love that was not strong enough to endure stress and. that may fail you again in time of need.

I am not justifying men in taking out on their wives all of their busi- ness worries, though many a man does it and many a. woman has only to give one look at her husband's face as he comes in the door of an evening in order to know whether stocks are up or down and how things ‘have gone at the office. And if they have gone ill, heaven help her, for she is due to hear that she is the poorest cook that ever put a pot on the stove and to get the bowling out that her husband would have given his boss o: his best client or customer if he had dared .-

But even in the’ face of such inju stlce a wife may well remember that it is her husband's nerves that are speaking, not his heart, and that if he is cross and unreasonable and zrouchy and glum, it is nearly always be- cause he is weary unto death with the struggle of modern life and that the reason he is overworked is because he is trying to give her and the children comforts and luxuries. _ As to your question about going back to your husband, I should strongly advise it. He has had his lesson. Perhaps you have had yours. You still love each other and when you take up your life together again I hope you will be wiser and more patient and more forbearing and un- derstanding with each other. DOROTHY DIX.

Dear Dorothy Dix-I am a. widow just past 50. Have had tenderness and love showered on me all my life. I think now I am the lonesomest woman in the world, and I feel as if I cannot go on with no one to love or to love me and no man to do anything for. What can I do’)

Answer:

When a woman who has been happily married and whose life has centered in her husband loses him, her lot is indeed s. forlorn one if she has no children in whom she can absorb herself 'and on whom she can lavish the treasures of her heart.

‘ Her home is broken up, for though she may still have the house and money enough to run it, it is but an empty shell after the man has gone from 1t. The woman may have made a career of beautifying and adorn- ing it and making it bright and comfortable, but she has no interest in doing it when no husband comes back in the evening and there is no one to notice what she does or praise her work. It doesn't even seem worth while to get up a. good dinner when one must eat it alone.

And so the woman whose hands have been so busy are idle. She who has found the days too short to “do all she had to do finds that time can be endless. She who was merry and Jolly and as full of chatter as a

There are so many widows like this who are so desperately lonely and forlorn and they are so eager to marry that they rush into unsuitable matches... Pbr there is a large class of parasitic men, too lally to work, whose specialty is consoling these widows who have inherited neat little fortunes from their husbands. They are quite ready to hang their hats up in Mrs. A's or B.’s or C.'s front hall and live on their predecessors’ in- surance money and, incide lly, make the poor, deluded women so un- happy that they regret even their past lonesomenese.

Don't make this mistake. If some good, fine man that you have known for years wants to marry you, ‘well and good. But 'don’t be marry- ing Just to be a-marrying and because you are lonesome. Better no company at all than a tyrannical husband.
