Jerry's mother kept hens. and when we
reached the house he had no trouble In
finding fresh egg
First putting clean plate on the
table, Jerry took the egg and shook 10 yio-

and the white were thoroughly mixed, like
compound OF milk and water. Then,
after holding the egg upright on the plate
until the mixture inside of il had settled
quietly into the broad base OF 1t, he with,
drew his hand and left the egg standing
upright and alone.

responsibility has found occupation for

Higher education has affected marriage
inasmuch as IL has opened new avenues OF
employment for women, has fortified them
for life as whole and has led them to re
gard marriage as an incident. 1t has given
girls a communistic feeling, which makes
them prefer 10 teach where there are other
teachers rather than to live on hilltop

tire to farm or tenement and bake and

cation has separated marriage and mother

do not want the intervening marriage.
