Frankly Tells of Her Mistake.
Love Is a theme beloved of the
pbets but In real life the records do
not bear out its early promises to be
love forevcrmore. Too often does the
woman in a hysteria of romance fail
to realize the utter unsuitability of
the mate she has chosen.
Mrs. Lillian Camp Munson, of New
i ork, made one of the frankest avow
als on rccord of a mistaken love,
born of a romantic vision of a life
or luxurious Idleness after years of
drudgery. She went on a trip to
South America with Ralph Lovell, the
youthful cashier accused of robbing a
New Jersey bank of $132,000.
Munson was 28 years old at
that time, Lovell was 21. Munson

Confessions of a Wife
Aunt Mary insisted upon calling Dr.
Atwater this morning after Dick left.
I felt too miserable to get up and
have breakfast with him.
"Nothing the matter of you, Margie,"
said the dear old doctor, "except that
you take life too seriously. You are
all wrought' up about something and
it's probably something that worrying
won't help. I never knew .worry to
do any good anyway with anything."
"Yes, but Doctor it I were one of
those selfish self-contained women who
never allowed anything or anybody
to hurt me and was ruthless In my de
sire to have my own way and my own
pleasure 1 might make everybody
about me miserable."
"In other words, Margie, you para
phrase the little Japanese girl's
speech and say 'it is better for me
alone to suffer much than for a great
many others to suffer a little.'"
I smiled at the doctor's quaint sum
ming up of the situation as he took my
feverish hand in his cool one?a hand
that told of the smoldering and fast
cooling.flres of lite.
"Dear," he said, "life is good, all of
it, and some day you will come to see
it." . . ,
"Don't talk to me about character
buildings, doctor," I said whimsically.
"I'm very tired of achieving that pain
ful asset, called character. Some day
I'm going to blossom out Into a real
butterfly and just fly from flower to
flower without thojight of anything but
a good time. 'Taking life too serious
ly?' I'm tired of the word 'serious' but
it just keeps bobbing up In my vo
cabulary and won't stay out of my cur
riculum."
Poor old Dr. Atwater thought I was
going crazy, I guess, but he smiled and
said to Aunt Mary: "Get this girl one
of the most frivolous novels on the
market; make her stay in bed and
sleep and read until she has finished
It." Then he gave my hand a pat and
left.
I'm telling you this, little book,
while Aunt Mary has gone out for a
frivolous novel She asked me what t
wanted and I told her to pick it out
for me. I am mildly curious to see
what she will buy. In the meantime

I really had that man's mind 1 havo
been accused of having. They are so
convenient. One of the peculiar things
about a man's mind is the facility In
which he can divest it of every thought
but those of the thing at hand.
"I did not tell Mother that you were
home," said Mollie to Dick this morn
ing, "for I knew you would have a lot
of other business on hand and she
would expect you to. leave all and tell
her about Jack."
"Mollte Is a pretty sensible girl, af

I wanted to ask him why-he had
changed his mind since the night be
fore when he did not think that Mollle
was anything but "coarse-minded.'Vv *
. Today, ev'eidently, things look differ

the threads of his business with never
an explanation of .where he has been
or what he has been doing.
