THE SPECTRE OF C0N3TANT
JEALOUSY.
When a man Is afraid to remark at
the breakfast table, even mildly and
casually, that, from what he has heard,
Cleopatra must have been a beautiful
woman, it is fair to assume that the
spectre of constant Jealousy dwells In
that household. When a wife fears
to look at the moon because she may
be accused of admiring the man in It,
the husband needs to be gently re
minded that he is taking a very rapid
short-cut to killing the love he seems
to hold so sacred. Love Is fed by con
fidence, trust, faith and serene restful
reliance. Morbid jealousy Is a poison
of doubt, suspicion and Injustice that
dulls the love it does not deaden.
Scientists tell us that every known
poison Is, In small doses, a stimulant;
In larger doses it Is a narcotic; in still
lnrger it kills. In a mild form Jeal
ousy Is Inseparable from real love. It
Is the heart's guardianship of Its treas
ure. It is the hunger for the sacred
ness of sole possession; the righteous
demand to be first, absolute and su
preme. It Is the instinctive protest at
even the thought of another sharing
in those little tendernesses, graceful
attehtions. and words, looks and ex
pressions of love that should be con
centrated on one, not syndicated
among many.
AQ1S lUSlllltuir jcuiwuuj,
roused In an Instant, falls gently to
sleep again with a siulle of peace at
the recognition of a false alarm.
Jealousy, in any instance, most be
long to one of two classes. It Is either
Justified by the facts or it Is not; it
is a right charge or an unjust one.
If Justified, the one who causes it may
do so, iu one or two instances, through
thoughtlessness or because of a less
finely balanced appreciation of the de
mands and duties of love, for some na
tures are more wounded by a look than
others by a blow. Here a few words
of gentle protest may bring a new
course of action that Is absolutely
jealousy-proof. If the offending acts
become a continuous performance, then
the offender Is unworthy of either the
love or the Jealousy. But If the con
stant jealousy be undeserved, the one
thus continuously storming lu Jealous
tempest is not worthy of the love and
loyalty thus traduced and put to sc«rn.
Nothing weakens loyalty and con
stancy qui 'Uly as morbid Jealousy:
nothing mspir <. feeds, strengthens and
almost guarantees loyalty and con
stancy Ilk • loving confidence, real com
radeship and restful trust.
Jealousy, even when Justified, should
not be permitted to iuu uwuy with dis
cretion. The emotional pulti It may be
natural feel it may not bo wise to
express. There Is a tendency to an
emotional explosion that may wreck
happiness. It is a moment when one
should heed the advice of the sign at a
railroad crossing: "Stop, look and
listen." The first suspicion in mar
ried life may be more hazardous than
the first real quarrel. It may develop
an exaggerated estimate of the im
portance of what may have been mere
ly a ljjlishly indiscreet word or ac
tion.
The offender, conscious of Innocence
of real wrong even in thought may
become angered and indignant at con
demnation many sui's t«»» large for tlie
offense; apology for the minor thought
lessness may he \\:thUtld or If spoken,
ignored in the pr wiice of the injustice
of n weightier cliurge. Tit- t.urden of
injustice becomes shifted to the one
originally innocent. If the inadvertence \
of a moment, now looming lurge, be
"out an error of action, not of mind J
or of heart, it should instantly be for- j
given and forgotten because explained
and understood.
If tlnTf Si- real reason for jealousy
in a tri!!e. wise iiclion may confine it !
to the tritle. Jt alousy through its own
Indiscreet expre;»ion nmy piunt what
It fears. Let tiie wounded one seek
to find the cause that led to the action ]
inspiring the jealousy. The wife, I
through pique at being neglected, may
receive Innocently and unwisely the I
kind attention of another. The hus- j
hand, brought to realization of the I
drifting possibilities of his negligence, '
may by special marks of affection, re-1
turning to the old courtship methods, j
restore the old certainty of faith and
ailness. If wise, lie will let the con
seiousneos of his initial wrong keep
him from revealing too plainly his pain.
Angry protests and condemnation never
cure; they merely put a premium on
secrecy and deception. It does not re
move the disease, it merely drives it
into the system.
In every instance of jealousy the
innocent one should meet it at the
beginning, at its earliest manifesta
tion. This means recognition and a
wise determination to remove the
cause, but does not justify blame or In
dlguaut streams of condemnation flow
lug hot and iuva-like from an emo
tional Vesuvius.
There is a false pride that says, "If
he is growing interested In another let
him go. I will not compete for his af
fection," or, "if she feels that way,
let her have her way." Love, happi
ness and trust are treasures too sacred
for us to permit them to slip out of
our lives and leave us lone and dreary,
on the mere technicality of the petty
pride of a moment. This philosophy
of resignation ma, be proper when it
nrcomes Inevitable, buFnever before.
Wo would not let health, money, posi
tion, repntation or property thus drift
away without using every effort to re
tain it; why does false pride sometimes
woke us so reckless with what means
most to us?
Jlorbid jealousy Is a real, sad prob
lem of the married life of many homes.
It tnuy breuk out at any moment and
tunny a guest, as he passes his cup for
more ten. is struck with surprise at the
strange expression on the face of the
hostess, sees the lightning flash In her
eyes and watches it strike the innocent
husband at the end of the table, and
the guest almost hears the thunder as
he hopes he will be home before the
cloudburst comes. And the sudden sul
try ntmosphere, and that strauge hush,
with the air of the room surcharged
with electricity, may all have come
in a moment with not the slightest real
Justification. It Is the self-torture of
love.
To morbid Jealousy civility. Just of
the ordinary type, becomes flirtation;
indifference, disguised feelings; good
spirits, conscience masking a wrong;
silence, thinking of some one else—all
Is translated by the cipher code of
jealousy. Jealousy always plays with
loaded dice—the cast Is always fore
ordained. Jealousy does not require a
cause. It Is satisfied with an oppor
tunity. It may be Inspired by what one
does or does not do, what one thought
or did not think, what one said or did
not say; It may be what one might
have, could have or should have done
or said or left undone. Jealousy con
jugates in all moods and tenses.
To this morbid jealousy explanations
mean nothing but aggravation or a
change of a base of attack. The most
tactfully delivered explanation Is often
dexterously caught, and with a whisk
of the vocabulary is quickly trans
formed into a roaming wnippea-cream
conviction on some other phase, while
the Innocent sufferer, In a dazed way,
wonders how It was done. Vesuvius,
In Its eruptions, Is slow, snail-like In
activity compared with the explosions
of this Jealousy. Unlike cigar smoking.
Jealousy Is not a one-sex specialty.
This morbid Jealousy Is always unrea
soning and unreasonable. Its misin
terpretation of a word, a motion or a
glance may throw Inl > eclipse the loyal
unselfish devotion of a life, ami the one
who suffers Innocently In this tempest
must bow the head In helplessness,
realizing that words of protest would
count no more than attempting to lead
a tornado to change its Itinerary.
Jealousy stifles faith, which is the
soul of love. It is emotional suicide.
It is a peculiar form of fear which
seeks constantly to discover what It
does not want to find. Jealousy Is
the chloroform of confidence. It re
quires faith to keep faith, trust to re
tain trust, love to cherish love.
Jealousy blights spontaneity and the
free expression of one's thought; one
soon consigns one subject after an
other to the quarantine of the un
spoken. One involunturlly sterilizes
one's conversation, omitting simple lit
tle Incidents aud references nothing In
themselves but which experience has
shown carry storm-signals, so that one
Involuntarily picks one's way carefully
In talking, like a person getting up at
night in a dark, chair-sprinkled room.
How Cupid must moan when he finds
married people grown tactful and
politic with each other. The delight
ful free Interchange of thought can
exist only as love and trust make Blue
beard chambers of Interdicted subjects
unnecessary and impossible In conver
sation. We should guard carefully
against closing up any room of con
fidence lu the mind and heart of one
we love.
There Is pathos In this morbid Jeal
ousy, for innocence of the object of
the feeling cun prevent It. It Is like
one of those concave or convex mirrors
that distort whatever passes before
them. This unreasonable Jealousy is
hard on two people—the subject and
th« object. Its presence In the home
meana u problem for two. For one It
means the overcoming of u morbid sus
picion and the other somehow to keep
the sucred flame of love burning
despite the suspicion. There Is always
a benumbing, paralyzing sense of help
lessness and of hopelessness In resting
under a cruel, unjust charge more
awful when It Is made by one who
should be most ready of all the world
to be convinced of the Innocence of the
accused.
Jealousy Is a disease that can bo
cured only by the subject, not by any
one else la all the world. No mat
ter how gentle, kind, forbearing, for
giving and forgetting the object of It
may be, this In Itself will not cure the
attacks. The subject whose heart Is
thus swayed by fierce gules of Jealousy
must first awaken to the folly of It,
the injustice of it, must be conscious
of the trail of bitterness and unhup
plness It brings to both, must realize
the cruel continued assault on the tol
erance, love, loyalty and patience of
the other, and when the next attack
comes, seek by strength of will, by
force of character, by consecrated self
control and by every help of highest
wisdom to kill the feeling.
Jealousy tjiust be fought as one
would battle against a pestilence that
threatens the safety of a town or a
:ounty. It is not sufficient conquest
merely to hold back the expressions
of the Jealousy; the continuous re
pression simply defers the explosion
and makes the next outbreak more dis
astrous. Jealousy must be killed in
the thought. In the mind, the battle
ground of the soul, must the fight of
extermination be waged. In the
thought must the Jealousy be neutral
ized by faith, conquered by Justice,
and transformed by trustful love into
a restful abiding confidence that only
absolute proof and certainty of Just,
gause can ever reawaken.
