.incomparably more difficult For child
less marriages it seems to me that di-

on her brow. This is to her credit. If
she showed the same talent In raising"
her large family that she does in pre-
serving her nerves unimpaired, the
Spanish American woman OF South
America would be a paragon indeed. +
