rough house iv Europe. Tn family is
gay dogs an Sophy J. Hapsburg inner
tied their thraits. She met tn Crown
Prince sometime afther they were mar
rid an FIR thirty or forty years they
IVived together happily but not FIR long,
an raised a large or German family.
But tn bloom sOon come off tn peach.
In less thin a quarther iv a cinchry,
SOphy begun to tire iv tn dull, monoty-
nous life iv tn Saxon coort. She saw
that Ludwig was not tn man she ex-
picted him to be but q coorse nature
h cud not understand tn grOpin's
Nv a rayfined spirit. Whin she got to
ha fifty or sixty years iv age, she got
onto the fact that she had a soul.
Win a woman discovers she has a
soul, Hinnissy, tbs time she was STINT
to a rest cure. 1t niVer comes till late
in life an ye can tell what she'll dc
about it. She may join a Woman
club an'she may go on tn stage. TiG

In tn front row iv tn chorus. Ludwig
did not know what was tn matth5r
with his spouse. He had niver suffered
firm anything that he cudden't thrace
to food or dhrink. He had no soul
Men sildom have, Whin ye Sc a man
With a soul, side-step him. Professor
Giron had a soul. They was no soul
fuller person thin Alphinse Giron in all

poor young man hired fr TO tache bad
language, which is Fr-rinch, to tn chill
dher, he was full iv wicked impulses.
He didn't ave much else but he had a
soul. TIL outcome was certain. If a
woman with a soul doesn't lose tn soul
pretty quick an get back her common
sense, she'll lose both. Wan day Whin
Ludwig vas down at tn brew'ry, So
ply packed a few things in a bag, AL

gies, an they wint to tn deeps an took

Switzerland now, talkin' to rayporthers
