A WOMAN'S HEART

(Contributed.)

Many years ago, at an age when she did not know what Life meant, a certain Girl made a vow, that she would Never Marry.

Then she met a man who loved her and worshipped her, and tried to awaken in her the Spirit of Love and the Joy of Life.

The Girl possessed all the attributes that made Life worth living.

She was full of grace and charm, and had a sweet, gentle and sympathetic disposition.

Girl and man became intimate, and the man thought he "had won her love.

But she told him that she still adhered to her vow made many goats before, andi could Never ove him and marry him. This seemed inexplicable in one. whose character otherwise showed wisdom and understanding.

So for this foolish, unreasonable and unnatural vow, made at an irresponsible period of her life, the Girl sent the man away, an turned his life into Bitterness and Sorrow.

Surely the Riddle of the Universe is not more difficult of solution than a Woman's Heart.
