LECTURE ON "Sulkiness among women has driven more men to perdition 'than all of the lying, cheating, and stealing that. has ever been recorded," s'iid awoman of the world to two young wives recenth “To be sulky means to be so many things that are thoroughly disagrcfi- able. It means that you are amonllily silent, sullen sour, obstinate. mor- ose person all rolled in one." "But you’ve just said that I have a sulky disposition, and that. that Mr counts for my having so many little tiffs with Dick," protested one of the young matrons," "and I know I'm not all of those things." "And you hinted that I have occas- ional fits of sulks," remarked the othâ€" er newly married, girl in an objecting tons. "True enough,” answered the woman of the world with aknowing laugh. "I did say and hint those things and I meant thlem. W'e’ve been here togeth- er, in this hotel for six weeks now, and I do not make my charges with- out good reasons. How I’ve pitied your husbands and do pity them and shall continue to pity them unless you rid yourself of the sulking habit." "But everybody says that Dick and I are thle most devoted couple here," in- terrupted one of the matrons. “No, they say that Ned and Iare," insisted this other. "Of course, you are both‘ devoted couples," went on the elderly woman hastily, "but. all the same you two women sulk, and so do nine-tenths of the women in this hotel, and the world over, for that matter. If I were a man, engaged to ayoung‘ woman, and discovered that she had a sulky dis- position, I should first try to break her of the tendency, and if I couldn’t. do that I’d break the engagement, Men aren’t justified in breaking a betrothal (neither are women, mind you). but they’d be in that case. Sulky women cause more friction in home life than any other kind of disagreeable wives. Sulkiness grows on one. It’s such an insidious trait, or, as I believe, dis- ease. It takes possession of the mind Defone one is aware of its presence and :an only be cured by the exercise of itrong will power and reason.” "What makes you think that Isulk," asked Dick’s wifle. "\Vhy, I’ve seen you have forty fits of sulks since I’ve been here. You never sulk with anyone but you’re hus- band, and how you can sulk with him is beyond me. But that is a peculiar- ity of one afflicted with sulkiness. The patient often makes the one she loves best,the victim of her attacks. Perhaps it is because the sulks render one a bit cruel, and she enjoys seeking him suffer." "Soon after you married Dick you made up your mind not to like his family. He had always been a de- voted son, and had almost taken a husband‘s and father's place in his fa- therless house. Instead of your en- couraging him to keep on in the same way you conceived an intense imagin- ary dislike for his family, and every time he goes to see them, does any- thing for them, even mentions them, you have afit of sulks. You shut up like a clam; you frown; you will not speak, smile, or in anyway show any intenest in what your husband says or does for hours. I’ve watched it all over and over. He is always so gentle and patient, but I warn you that one of these sulky fits of yours wears him out, "frazzles" him completely, and if you keep them up they will drive him from you. How would you feel if Dick acted towards your family as you do toward his? Put the shoe on the othâ€" er foot and see if it; doesn’t pinch. ,How would you feel if he went apart from you, set his face in astony stare, and showed about as much sympathy and interest as aChinese god when you mentioned your family? “Now, Dorothy, here," turning to the other young matron, "sulks in adifâ€" ferent: way, and makes Ned miser- able no less than six times aday. “'0- men should remember that men have moods as well as women, and we should indulge them. Unconscioust man deâ€" pends on woman‘s love to forgive his whimsicalities, and she should never withold it. livery Lime Ned comes down from business a bit moody, inâ€" stead of you loving him and petting him and telling him a lot of funny things in your own bright. way. Doro- thy, to make him forget, you get sulky and won’t have anythingr to do with him. If he doesn’t pet you just as much as you think he should, you sulk; if he makes some remark you don’t quite understand, you sulk; if you want to go sailing and he thinks it looks abit squally, off you go into a fit. of sulks. I just know Ned some- times wishes a squall would catch him. A squall, you know, is soon over. It isn‘t like these heavy black clouds that hang about for hours and kceps one from doing anything that one wants to do for fear of an outburst, A woman who lets her temper loose is bad en- ough, but she isn’t a circumstance to the one who bottles her’s up, and threatens to let it go every minute," “You say that sulkiness grows on one?" asked Ned’s wife in a. subdued voice," "It most assuredly does," answered the “Drum of the world. "Run over your acquaintances of middle-aged and elderly women and think how many of them indulge in sulks. Over half? Yes I thought you’d find it so, I used to be agreat sulker myself, but I was SULKS. ' i ll Your Health Should be Carefully Guarded. Keep the Bloc-:1 Pure.

In the. spirit of this wise remark are these "Seward Don‘t \‘Vorry” rules: 1. Consider what must be involved in the truth that God is infinite, and that you are a part of His plan. 2. Memorize some of the Scripture promises and recall them when the temptation to worry returns. 3. Cultivate a spirit of gratitude for daily mercies. _ 4. Realize Worry as an enemy which destroys your happiness. 5. Realize that it can be cured by persistent effort. ' 6. Attack it definitely as something to be overCome. 7.
