Many women long for child to bless
their homes. but because of some de-
bility or displacement of the female
organs they are barren.

ments, liberation and inflammation.

Knife Carving in Cuba

1t was a golden day in October
Ter favorite month. Thinking of the
autumn beauty reminded her that q
man had once expressed one of her
own half thoughts in the words:
Autumn is natures holiday. ard
all her lovers should frolic with her
gathering rosemary for the winter"
A letter was handed to her. 1t
read:
Here, Today.
Dear You: Does rosemary grow
there? am on my way to gather it.
and beg that you will learn it's hid
ing places and be my guide. Natures
lover and yours. A MAN"
With the open letter in her hand
she walked through the garden be-
tween rows of hollyhocks, past beds
Of asters and fall daisies, stopping to
pluck long-stemmed, gold-banded
lily, and on through the rustic gate
into the waving meadows beyond.
The slender. white figure drew the
rays of the sun upon crown of yel-
low-gold hair. which rippled merrily
Into a loose. low coil.
The gurgling sound Of running
water guided her footsteps to the
rocky bank of brook in the shade
of ancient trees. On fiat topped
boulder she seated herself to reread
the letter.
Out of the past came memories
memories of the bitter-sweet days of
youth, of experiences that brought de.
light. pain, JOY and sadness. The
bounding, rushing stream at her feet
symbolized many, for she remem-
bered that she once was gay That
patch of yellow sunshine, glinting
through the brilliantly colored foliage
and defying the nearby shadows, was
a picture of her school days; these
freely swaying branches, frolic mad
testing the strength of the winds,
reckoning to birds and butterflies.
they were college days; over there in
that pile of stones she caught glmpses
of a scarlet lizard tapping insects in
the sun, beautiful in color. but still
Elusive pleasures whose true nature
lay hidden under flash of beauty.
Slowly particular events took form
against the background of generali
ties. Her mind grew keen in retro.
spection. Her eyes became accustomed
to the perspective. and one by one
she knew the meaning of all those
thoughtless days when beauty, wealth
and youth were hers by right of nat
ural possession, and happiness might
have been had for the taking.
But what part of it all was the man?
Now that the mysterious shadows
were lifting, there glided into her
heart a delicious sense that he was
all. That he had been the center of
every picture, the spirit of each hope
and aspiration, and the object of all
anticipation.
Familiar intercourse from childhood
had wrapped around emotions its
dulling thickness. smouldering the fire
OF passion and stunning the sense OF
appreciation. She caught her breath
as she remembered the first rent IN
the covering. He came to say good
bye on the day he first left home to
