SO pass the glories of this wurId,
You sed it rong, sed Pa, II Is tc

Pa. You got it all rite excep the dsv

Gums to us all, & sed Its time to M,

that fought & then died, sed Pa
think of Richard the Line Harted. A.
lvanhoe, & all them gallant men
Thare strength faded from them eey4n
as the ded leef fades & and dies &
falls.
like to see the leeves falling SEQ
Ma. 1t always maiks me think of the
hutiful spring to cum, wen other

SO butiful as Nature You see all
them butiful leeves & tflay bring YOU
reel joy. Then thay die & YOU forgjt
them & let them float to erth & rot
without thought of what thay have
been to you. How like a woman, SEQ
Pa. ...,.
Not at all, sed Ma, wimmen ars
not neerly SO fergetful as men. A
woman can remember old romance
long after the man has forgotten it,
She can remember the sound of her
first beau s voice long after her first
beau has eeven any idee Of vino she
was. But woman doesn't live mop
Ing in the present, like you looking at
yure ded leeves & signing She looks
ahed & thinks of glorus spring, wien
Will cum after the hard winter &
bring buty crater than the dying luz
Illness of the forests.
You can talk all you want to. sed
Pa, crate sadness clutches my hart
wen l look at them falling leeves. See
them dropping now, out on the lawn
like snowfiakes. Sumthing seems to
clutch~at my hart like wise, Pa sed
& maik me -utterably sad & for
Horn
| bet / know why Pa feels so sad
| about the falling leeyes. 1t will talk
him two days hard work to rake
them up & eileen the lawn. He said
wasent strong enuff to do 1t. .
