EQUAL to Anv Emergency

present and would listen to Mr..

The Feminine Observer.

No sentiments are very deep that
can be written of freely.
What people will say has kept
many of us from giving way to
really honest emotions.
The real secret of happiness is
getting something you want very,
very much, but never dreamed you
would have. Flowers, for instance.
In these very advanced days it
seems that anything that is not alb
solutely vicious can with ease mas
querade as virtue.
The surest way to make outsiders
think a couple are Incompatible is
for them to be very attentive to
each other in public.
War talk as it affects mothers,
wives and sweethearts is a bit more
serious than ever as it appears in
the yellow journals.
