Under further acts direct taxes were
levied in the following two years. with

offered their expense accounts for

Love" wrote Myrtle Reed, 'in itself
Is not joy. 1t is always service and
it may be sacrifice. 1t means giving,
not receiving; asking, not answer"
Yet with the price she must pay

women who are older, she still wants
love, and still seeks it,
1t is the natural craving of the hui
man heart, but when it comes to you,
my dear, accept it knowing that your

OF course, it is not proper for this
man to torment you. Neither was it
kind for you to torment him in the
beginning. But love is never kind,
neither is it just nor merciful!
1t is the greatest pain life holds. Yet
heaven help the woman who goes
through life without it!
