Lover’s Mistakes.

A mistake which lovers may usually make is that of seeing too much of each other in complete isolation from the rest of the family. Who does not know the uncomfortable feeling of going quickly into a dimly lighted room and finding that one has disturbed the tete-a-tete of a pair of lovers, who hasten to move to opposite ends of the room, and not only wish you further, but take no trouble to bide their hostile feelings? It is an understood thing in most families that the field should be left clear for the engaged couple, and in consequence a girl’s tinancee never has an opportunity of seeing her in her natural place among her family and friends, talkative and merry. When a girl pours out her love lavishly at the feet of her lover there is, as a rule, one thing certain in days to come. A man restless and sated and a hungry woman grieving over a love she has lost, and wonderingly sorrowfully how she came to lose it.
