 their love is less tempestuous and fiery, but can be wholly relied upon when fairly won!. . . Not one man in a thousand knows how to make love to a woman. They marvel because she won't say " Yes;" that she will admit nothing — in words! The fools fail to comprehend that her looks alone tell the story; that actions or non-actions speak louder than words.

Many a match has been broken off, and many a happy couple separated, and many a poor heart broken by scandal, which in a moral point of view is like a counterfeit bill, or bogus coin. The one who receives and undertakes to pass them as genuine, is considered as guilty as the one who first gave them circulation. In either case, ignorance cannot be made as a plea of justification. We have no business to be ignorant, says the law, in passing bad money. And we certainly have no right to traduce and
