was pretty in rather commonplace

should be unhappy when happiness
filled her whole heart

What was she saying about Marvin?
Alison was conscious that she was
staring at the little woman and max

anger raging in her heart So this
was Marvin's wife! But how about
the asylum? Perhaps she had es-
capped, was dangerously mad-a hun

heart.
II love him." the little woman was
saying. 81 am sure he is the best
husband in the world. 1t broke my
heart last spring when we had to
take parts in separate companies.
We had always been together, you
know.
Marvin loves me as much as I love

"Oh, it isn't possible said the girl.

He shouldered her bag and his own,
and they tried. At the place where

FLlVVER-LACKS PUNCH
Republican campaign managers
are scratching their heads over the
big speech of Sen. Larry Sherman
in Washington on GOmpers. The full
speech came along in the congress
sional record today. 1t was expected
to be sizzler, a regular eat-'em-
alive speech. Plans were on for the
Republicans to shoot this Sherman
anti-GOmpers speech out in millions
of copies to smother the labor line
up for Wilson.
From Republican circles comes
word that the Sherman speech won't
be printed. From the Democratic
camp comes the wish that the speech
would be circulated far and wide, es-
peciaIly among farmers.

pers' activities" said Sherman in his
attack on the American Federation
of Labor president. more than 100,-
