cient to dissolve the last shred OF
doubt concerning the ability of bril-
liantly intellectual woman to advance
year after year in the course OF her

time to carry, with obvious success,
the full responsibilities Of marriage,
which in her case comprise over %
years of wifehood, motherhood and
homemaking.
Mrs. Davis is said to be the great
est woman authority upon astronom-
ical mathematics in this country, prob
ably in the world, and has been max
ing computations for the Nautical AL
manac, published annually by the
United States naval observatory az
Washington, for the last 20 years.

What Love Is.

Love is a journey into new country,
and like any other journey, its length
depends entirely on what the country
has to show. There should be woods
with silent underground, where comfort
lives; bright rivers of vitality; clean
cities built on foundations of fine tradi-
ton and splendid with the towers of
learning and religion; green fields where
simple thought and senses play like
young cattle, and mountains so high
that as one climbs one breathes quick
ening air not known to ordinary men
so high that by day the earth lies clear
beneath like an open map, and by night
the stars are just beyond arms length
above In such country man can
live forever. The New Republic.
