the room,
And autumn signing in the wind out
And freight within, but gainst the

The last low-spoken word above the
dead.

Than art by man made servile to his
will.

of the hurrying men as a matter Of
course. No frown will pucker her
pretty eyebrows when she is jostled.
She walks with less lightness and more
lsturdiness. She outbreathes an air of
accepting things as she finds them and
making the best of them. In all prob
ability she is the daughter of man
and woman who are among the West
winners Her parents found life hard,
she finds it easy, but the result of their
long battle against untamed nature and
restricted social conditions is Swallowed
in her.
Many evening gowns show fronts en-
