A Smart Girl's Diary
The Failure of the Scheme
The lone nftBMeht la frequently cited
p n. perlbd of ecstatic Joy and of unmiti
gated bliss, the minor quarrels And dls
' agreements which, of course do occasion
Ally occur being looked upon ns merely
tfla very necessary rift In the Joyous lute
ot perpetual love-making.
While It Is perfectly truo that the period
of tho lonp encasement ought to bo a
iery happy time, tho reverse aldo of the
picture Is too often Been. But tho fault
tn this Instance lies not so much In the
fast thnt tho engagement Is n, long one,
but In tho disposition of tho woutd-bo
happy couplo who have presumably given
their promises and their professions of
eternal love to each other.
Human nature Is a curious thing, it
breaks out In tho most unexpected place
and In tho most curious ways. And lova
certainly has tho oddest manifestations,
r heard nn odd talo onco concerning a
man who was engaged to a very charm
ing gill. Hut he didn't realize that fact
ft bit. Not he! After ho bad duly pro
posed to her nnd been accepted, ho told
her that they would probably have a ory
long engagement live years at tho low
est estimate.
"But, my dear," said ho cheerfully,
"that's something to bo rather glad aSout,
stneo, I shall regard It as a time of pro
bation for you. I Intend to spend tho
flvo years training you for tho position
of my wife. I hope that you will mako
an apt pupil, for I shall spare no pains
In teaching you my ways nnd methods.
I am of rather a peculiar disposition and
I hato to be crossed or worried In any
nay. So It will take nulla live years
to get you Into my particular methods
nnd ways of lhlng
"If at tho end of !Ko jcars I nnd that
you have not entirely adapted yourself
then I shall consider the engage
ment at an end. But let us trust that
nothing so unfortunate will occur. If you
rcsolvo now to devote yourself entirely
to mo, and to study my overy mood and
to strive perpetually to please me In
everything, taking criticism and advice
In tho spirit In which It Is meant, I
thlnlc that you need have nothing to fear
in tho way of an ultimate rupture of ou
relations."
m
And the extraordinary thing about the
above-mentioned harangue was that tho
llttlo fiancee meekly listened to overy
word! Instead of being amazed, furious,
Indignant, she considered that such a
speech was tho mark of n strong and
wonderful character. She started In
patiently to study that Impossible little
nnn Shn gave up the pleasant society
of most of her friends for his sako. Sne
endured nil sorts of Impertinences and
minor insults from him cheerfully. In
fact, It Is nn open question whether she
ever did tee either the Impertinence or
tho Insult of his attitude toward herself.
Xho engagement dragged out foe the
promised flva years. And at tho end of
the allotted period t'oo happy couple were
married. By this time, of course, tho lit
tle bride hnd all of her Inltlattvo nnd most
of her spirits driven out of her Fle
years of "training" Is a long tlnip, nnd
only tho verv long suffering could ever
survive any such course.
Unfortunately, however, tho marring"
was a very unhappy one. Hon could it
bo otherwise? It Is truo that the bride
had learnt the worst about her gallant
bridegroom. But even n worm will (urn
at last-nnd she did turn To nil nut
ward uppcarnnres she was tlin tnieket
little soul that ever walked this sinful
earth. But the process of ' educating '
had leally been too much for her And
after about threo months of connubial
bliss, she elenred out of that home, never
to return
Tho husband was much annoyed But
he refused to run after her. "It Is a
direct insult to my method of training,"
said ho to his friends, "and nothing will
Induco mo to overlook such a slight
Why, I spent tho flvo best ears of m
llfo In molding her will to mtno' And I
thought that I had succeeded so well
But women arc sis. even the best of
them! Never ogaln will I tnist n woman
No, nothing -would Induco me to agree to
a reconciliation! I havon't tho heart to
start in 'training' her again "
Mot other instances of this form of
"training" liavo ended disastrously. Very
few ever reach the stage of matrimony
at all, by tho way. For long before tha
altar Is reached, the unfortunate damsel
Is scared off. And small wonder that
this should be the case!
For, aftor nil, the one great essential
in matrimony ts love. And love Includes
forbearance, kindliness and o. very broad
charity for any little faults on tho part
of tho other.

Does Love Come to All?
Surely ho docs, or alsa tho world -were
indeed a placo of Injustice and hard
ship. But many, alas, do not percelvo him
until too late. It may bo t'nat the man
ner of their woolnff Is so shy, so wrapped
In awkwardness, that they never know
that tho luckless wooer means anj thing
nioro thnn ordinary friendship.
It is tragic n hen this happens, for
there mls'nt have been happiness on both
sides, since a shy man Is by no means
the least desirable, of mates.
Therefore, it Is truo that practically no
Klrl can say that sho has never met love
on her way through llfo, If she la n,
normally placed person who is not buried
in n remote and manless wilderness or so
uncomfortably shy a? to fleo from n
masculine presence as sho would from a

The Third Party
There Is a raying; that "two Is com
pany and threo ft crowd." Tt Is not un
true In tho case of newly engaged lovers,
or of two peoplo who lmvo something
to discuss that only concerns themselves,
but It Is not to bo taken as always tha
rule.
Tor sometimes tho presenco of n third
person keeps off those hasty nnd foolish
little storms In tcncupi that spoil tho
happiness of sweethearts.
They cannot very well eay bitter or un
kind things to one nnother boforo an
other person. And by tho time that third
person ban left them, they havo probably
reconsidered matters nnd como to a. bet
ter fratno of mind.
Indeed, If a third person Is tactful and
unselfish enough to withdraw quietly
when no longer needed, thero Is much
use nnd r. decided helpfulness In his or
her presence, oven whon It Is bo
stowed upon two devoted lovers. A
