One day she ran away and her

her little daughter had not been In
her room all night.
This made Ethel May decide to

she gathered her clothes together,

as fast as she could run. When she
reached home she fell into her

NEED FOR DAYS OF STORM
Sage Reflections on the lmpossibilit,
Of Life Being Always a
Bed Of Roses.

Every woman, young and old, knows
what it is to have cross days; days
when, from sunrise till sunset, every
mortal thing seems to go wrong, no
matter how hard one tries to have
them go right. For that matter, one
always does try harder on such days
than one the happy.golucky ones
when life flows on smoothly and har-
moniously. like "a grand, sweet song"
Goodness knows, there is enough con-
scientious effort wasted on a single
cross day to balance half year Of
ordinary days.
Why is this? Is crossness a disor-
dered state OF the mind, or an over
wrought condition Of the nerves, or
simply the reflection of an inexplicable
but unanimous "crossedness" on the
part of things in general? And II 1t
be any or all of these, is there any
way or overcoming it?

might for once startle that hateful be-
