Show DUAD PASSION. ! Tb Nothing r.l.o Ho Itekd OM fgjl tin. Wilcoi ears. J9JU A man writes me that I do very IHW wrong to advise wives to conquer and j2H control capricious passion for otnt Wvt men. lis ssys It Is a husband's duty aVUH to give his wife the love awe cries tor Hvi no matter If It necessitates her leaving VjH husband snd children. He says: "My HH wife, the mother ot three children, M told me she laved another. Wo waited Wtal several years In friendly companion- HcK ahlp only and then separated. She la mjl married to the man she loved, I have VSl remained one of her best friends and WfB Intimate with her husband. Tho oldest diH child went with me, visiting her when- luR ever be wishes, tho other two re- IJP mnlned with tho mother We nro both lit far happier than had ahe been mourn- 191 Ing Ihe losi paradise My wife wa.1 1 neither a degenerate nor a lunatic; ahe neither ruined my life nor dlsgracod 1 her children We hate neither of us ever regretted tho step Our first and Ui, aacred duty wss to ourielvc." Of Jg cutirse it Imllcstc a very nobto quality X In a man's nature when ho gives his wife her freedom and bo! pi her to tho 1 happiness she lungs for with another It Is what Ituskln did, and Is far nioro Q semlblo than a duel or a murder. I a admire and respect the msn who does tt It. The man or woman who endeavors MB to keep another' affection by force la ID a solflsh fool.

In sentiment, in St refinement and In pasiton, 11 is no mi wonder his wife wanted a change. To 4M bo the friend In feeling to her Is one u thing to associate with her In her fjJ new relatione Is quite another. It H avors of Mormon'sm and ths thought 9 of It gives one unpleasant chill down H the spine There Is nothing so dead a Hj a dead pinion.
