She steals a nest in her feverish desire
to become a mother, and when her nest
ls stolen from her she has been known
In the excess OF maternal instinct to sit
for weeks and weeks on a doorknob.
What hopes. what iongings. what dreams
OF fluffy offspring fill her breast as she
sits day after day on a doorknob, none
OF the human beings with ice water In
their veins. who wiring her neck to cure
her can comprehend!
When she finds a worm she calls her
little brood to share It. Unlike the
rooster; that struttlng pride Of the barn
yard calls all the hers around him when
he finds a worm that they may watch
him swallow Il!
She Is domestic to a tragic extreme.
No matter how poor and wretched her
home may be, nor how strong the prob
ability that she win be caught by the less

creature on earth, the most industrious,
and the only one that has attained that
feminine ambition OF never showing her
