The saddest thing in married life drlfiing apart of those who have lived and loved for years in the sunshine of each others presence. It is just a heart tragedy in the life of two. The greatest trials of life are not those which come to us from the world outside the home, hut those from the world within. With the inspiring pressure of the hand we love held tight in our own, the battle of life cun be borne bravely, but when the refuge of love and mutual respect and esteem is swept away, the very bulwarks of the home seem gone. Occasional discords, misunderstandings and little clouds of unhappiuess may not be serious. The sun of reconciliation rimy scatter them, and in the balmy atmosphere that follows they may be forgotten. But it is different when love itself grows cold and respect for each other, which is so able an understudy to love, goes on a long Vacation. Then inharmonics Intensify as the days go by; antagonism on the basic questions of life grows more bitter; grim, hopeless silence takes the place of speech, or the atmosphere becomes vitiated by hot words of recrlm inatlon and contempt. There is sometimes an indignant outburst of anger at white heat that Is not so awful as It seems. It may be the fierce flame of protest from the heart that shows the fire of love is still burning; but constant, cold dead sarcasm and bitterness speak only of embers. This condition is not a matrimonial duet ; it is a matrimonial duel. When either husband or wife spenks words meant to sting, phrases seemingly Innocent to others hearing them, but which are deftly loaded to annoy or mudden as they relentlessly find their way through the vulnerable point in the armor, It is time for those two to declare a truce nnd to hold a speedy peace conference or there will not be enough love left to hold an inquest over. They may even grow to hate each others ways, moods, acts, and turns of speech. The voice once loved may now sound shrill and hard; the step on the stair which was sweet music may seem a Jarring discord, and the rippling laughter may strike only a vibrating note of vague rebellion. This surely shows Cupid is getting ready for a postmortem and a dead happiness will soon be burled. Sometimes the growing separation is on one side only, and one still loves with the old intensity and the old heart hunger. As absence Is always harder for the one left behind, so this twilight of love is most painful to the one whose love is still constant. It is the dead nerve that carries no pain. The finer nature suffers most in life, as variations In temperature that may disturb the sensitive soul of a violin are powerless to affect brass cymbals. There may be a conscious effort on the part of the one who loves to disbelieve in the growing separation not to credit it, not to realize it, nor to accept it for a moment as a possibility. But sometimes a word, a look, a sentence or an act makes further folly, as a lightning flash may reveal to a traveler an abyss at his feet. The smile that was the light of our fife no longer cheers us; the caresses that told of love unstinted are with held; the tenderness that seemed as sure as sunrise or sunset has turned to doubt, and the one who still loves may battle hopelessly when all life around him seems to move in a fog. At such times despite every wisdom of heart and mind, one can never say tin right word or do the right thing. Heart strings of sentiment, that once vibrated at the slightest touch and brought out In an instant a flood of music from the finest memories of the soul, are now mute. No explanations, no pleas, no baring of ones very heart, no illumination of the subtlest windings of thought and emotion can vanquish that vague something that sep- Is the Helpmeet Complains of Hammock-Huggin- g Husband Hodges hobby was a hammock. lie loved to swing to DETROIT. forAlbert hours at a time, and loudly protested if anything occurred to interrupt his pleasure, according to bis wife, Mary.

LIVE STOCK DEMAND home-wreck- Offer Fine Estates for Convalescent Hospitals Rich Americans are following the example of wealthy men of and France by offering their estates to the government as con valescent hospitals for wounded soldiers. The army medical department has already approved Ferncliffe, at Rhine NEW YORK. cliff, N. Y., home of Vincent Astor, and has under consideration offers of other estates near this city. When fully equipped for their new purposes the country estates will receive wounded American soldiers from a great receiving hospital which the government is to build somewhere on Staten Island. At the convalescent hospitals the wounded men will have the entire use of the vast estates. Sta bles, gymnasiums and other outbuildings, it is understood, are included in the offers which the owners of palatial homes have made to the government. It is expected that the government, in a short time, will announce the acceptance of the Vincent Astor estate at Rhinecliff. Another home which has received the favorable attention of the medical department of the army is Drumthwackett, the M. Taylor Payne home near Princeton, N. J. It is also known that James Speyer is considering turning over Waldheim, his estate at Scarborough, N. Y., to the government for the period of the war. Ferncliff, the Vincent Astor home, Is one of the most desirable sites in the country. The estate overlooks the Hudson and is valued at $8,000,000. Vincent Astor, who is now In foreign service as an ensign In the Naval Reserve, inherited the estate from his father, Col. John Jacob Astor. At the beginning of the war Vincent Astor gave his yacht Mona to the government. He is now serving aboard that vessel.

Disaphe pointed, but not discouraged, haunted the headquarters until at last another doctor looked him over and opined he might be eligible for some branch of the service in which perfection of vision is not an absolute neces- sity. This difference of scientific opinion interested Capt. F. L. Goord, who sent a report of it to Ma . G. B. Hall chief of the Canadian army medical corps at Victoria, B. C., a' id the major responded that he would not object to Stranix being enlisted i the forestry branch of the service. Hence the jubilation of Stranix. He is a native of Lurgen, Ireland, served seven years In the British navy, had one of his eyes permanently injured while at work In the anwus shipyard of Harland & Wolff, at Belfast, and came to California fie years ago, Since then he has been employed along shore.

It really seems that; some people do not want happiness or they would not dodge it so successfully, and begrudge the trifles It takes to secure it People who would be shocked at the bare r thought of actually destroying a bill often toss Idly aside the hnppiness of two for the merest trifle. Life is too short and love too great tc sacrifice one hour through pettiness. What matters it whose the fault oi whose the forgiveness? It is a very poor brand of personal dignity that dares to throw its desecrating shadow between them and the Joy of reconciliation and new bonds of love. When the realization of the waning of love comes, the two should seek to forget for a moment the differences, the saddening changes, the cemetery of dead memories and buried emotions, and try to get back somehow to some common ground of unity and understanding. They should seek to gathet together the trifles of sacred thing not yet lost. In the thought ef these there may be a vitalizing flame of the old love flashing out from the dull gray of the ashes that will burn away the dross of discord and misunderstanding. Argument Itself rarely counts; this is but an intellectual appeal; what is needed Is an emotional inspiration. We should recognize conditions fully foi our own guidance in action, but It is not wise to make evident our pain by pleas and protests. Cruel words meant to sting can be neutralized to a degree by showing no sign of being effected by them. There is a yellow streak of cruelty in love grown cold; It likes the cringing that shows Its power. Studied neglect and cool Indifference are rarely continued If they are received with an innocent absorption ot preoccupation they cannot penetrate. There is really little fun shooting wdtb these blank cartridges. An unexpected kindness, a note of tenderness to speech or act, the regenerating influence of the sweet sentiment, and graceful attention of the earlier days of loving, may melt a mood of opposition that any argument would solidify as heat sets clay. Trying to get back to the fork of the road where parting came may illuminate life and show the Insidious element that keeps apart two, who should love each other. In the care of a garden there Is a twofold duty the elimination of the weeds and the planting of the flowers. In the home fife the dual duty is specially vital; when discord reigns there should be at least the negative virtue of avoiding subjects of inharmony, of cutting off those things that intensify differences, of stopping the fire of verbal grapeshot that stings like needles. It is a time for antidotes, and if you cannot possibly give an antidote, in mercy give a poultice not a blister. It is the hour when two people should work overtime making allowances for each other, and pack their sense of wounded personal dignity away for the season in tar paper, for It is in the way during such a crisis. In a storm at sea everything is sacrificed to save the ship; personal discomfort, suffering, trial, hardship all count for nothing If the vessel itself with its people be kept afloat. When the life happiness of two hangs in the balance, when love is sinking in a night of doubt, there should be a supreme effort to save the ship. Throw over pride, self-wil- l, pique, dignity, fear, selfishness, all little pet vices it necessary, sacrifice every wrong and even minor rights just to save the ship. Love is the most valuable cargo on the ship of life. It Is the greatest thing in this world and the only thing that will make the next worth the livof love Is the sading.
