the delicious winds Of a perfect June
All her compOsure and common

That evening she determined to full
fiji her promise to Garcide as scrupulously
as she kept all her promises
She wore white at dinner, with a
great bunch of wild iris that Crawford
had brought her. Towards the end of
the dinner she began to be frightened,
but it was the instinct Of the Castles
to fight fear and overcome it.

looked down into that sparkling dusk

Women More Religious Than Men.

Women More Religious Than Men.
The real reason why women are
more religious than men today is be-
cause they are more human than men.
1t is not by nature that they are so.
Social conditions have made them so.
AS we have divided the labor OF the
world between the sexes, the work OF
men Is almost entirely concerned with
the production and distribution OF
things; the work Of women almost en-
