WEALTH OF WOMAN'S LOVE
By Editor Clarence Ousley in Fort Worth Record
Up in New York town the other
day a pretty little girl.- from
Chicago stood id the sawdust
ring at Madison Square garden
after a circus performance, sur-
rounded by circus folk with
painted faces and bedraggled
finery, and in answer to the
question of a minister promised
to love honor—well, anyhow, love
honor, and be a good, duti-
ful i?ife to a circus clown. When
the ceremony was over the ever-
handy newspaper man was there
to inquire how it all happened,
how a girl who wasn't of the
circus happened to marry a
circus man, and a clown at that.
The girl thereupon recounted
having met her new-made hus-
band at the home of a friend in
Chicago, and explained that for
some time she didn't know that
he was a clown, and that later
when she attended the circus and
he was pointed out to her she
could see through the paint, and
lo her "he wasn't any clown at
all, but just Harry;" wIt's a
fashion with girls in love—men,
also—to see through thicker
things than a clown's paint, and
behold many qualities hidden to
the eyes of the casual observer,
for the eyes of love look for that
which they wish to see. But the
little romance grew and the girl,
having friends in New York,
went there for a visit, and hav-
ing gone to the circus the sweet-
heart clown argued, as many
another yet to come, "why wait
any longer—let's be married to
day!". And the minister was
sent for and the matter speedily
consummated.
In concluding her story to the
newspaper man she said that
maybe it seemed queer to other
people, but it didn't to her, and
that she wasn't sorry she'd mar-
ried in the sudden way she had,
and that she was not in the least
sorry that her husband is a
clown. "Harry's work is to be a
clown," she said simply, "and
woman can be proud of the man
she loves if he does his work a
little better than any other man
cart do."
And therein the little girl trom
the lakeside town spoke a great
truth, which has been hidden
from the eyes of many peeks and
sages.
In many and many a case,
when the hungry, sniffing nose
of the gaunt gray wolf has push-

WILL
spoken against women, that no
woDban's love will stand poverty.
Some women's love won't, but
there are women and women.
And when love goes it isn't al-
ways because of poverty and
privation. The little Chicago
girl who is proud of her hus-
band's clowning, if it's a good,
successful sort of Clowning, told
the story. Women honor a suc-
cessful man, not fop the money
success brings so much as for
the fact that he has met the wits
and the abilities of other men
and has proven himself superior.
They honor success because it
means—at least they feel that it
means—superiority in whatever
line it if achieved.
And women can't help that at-
titude. It's part of the nature
;of em. Though there's no very
authentic information extant on
: the subject, there's a pretty good
basis for supposition that back
in the days when man lived in a
cave and used a wild beast's skin
for such clothing as he felt nead
of, that the women went, obedi-
ently, contentedly, to dwell in
the cave with the man who had
outfought her kinsman and pos-
sible rivals for her possession.
It isn't the money proof of
success that women demand of
the men to whom they have giv
en faith and love so much as it is
success as an evidence of
superiority; w-hen a woman real
izes that instead of a giant oak
she is leaning on a broken reed,
toppling down come her castles
in Spain, her day dreams, her
is and all that and romance
is done. Love never starves to
death, but love does die quickly
of chagrin that its judgment was
so bad that it mistook a lump of
clay for an idol. Women love
men because they fancy them
superior and they continue to
love them as the clown's girl-
wife says, if they do their work
better than any other man,
whether the work is politics,
merchandising, empire*building
or merely clowning in a sawdust
circus ring.
