MAIDEN MEDITATIoNs

MAIDEN MEDpTAIIONS
The attitude man assumes toward
pain makes you realize that he con-
siders II an undeserved punishment.
But the most impatient of women
generally accepts it as a natural heri-
tage of her sex.
In tho beginning we all get busy
10 get happiness And we never are
happy until we become too busy to
deliberately try to be happy.
Az general rule when every ono
is talking about man he Is climbing
surely to the top. BY the rule of op-
posites. when every one is talking
about girl she is sliding steadily
downward.
Men get old before they know tt
but women don't.
Women. women--watch them go past!
Gay women! Gray women.
Glad women! Sad women!
Women who're modest and those who
are fast,
Sleek women. chic women. dashing
or meek women.
Women most beautiful.
Faultless or d1tiful.
Women as deadly as serpents that
coll.
Women Of luxury. women OF toll
Young women, old women.
Fiery or cold women,
Endlessly passing along on the street,
Jexebel. Helen, Delilah. elaine,
Each has her counterpart here and
today.
Women of blessing and women Of
bane
Thronging along in their varied ar
Here you have cruelty, evil and lust,
Here you have tenderness. goodness
ana trust.
Women to cheer you and women to
grieve.
Lift TO your honor or lure to your
fall,
Just procession Of daughters of
Eve.
Not greatly changed by the years.

Although Helen set the table and
fixed the salad, still dinner was late,
and Warren was irritated by the 10
minutes wait.
He had not seen Nora until she
brought in the soup, and then he gave
her quick. appraising glance.
Don't you think she's nice looking
clean and wholesome looking? ?"
whispered Helen as Nora went back
to the kitchen.
Her looks are all right--but Is this
soup a sample Of her cooking? Tastes
scorched-and too much pepper"

Helen. This Is her frst dinner and
