in this same interview Mrs Wentworth
speaks SO strongly of the great issues

II is just here that the ius,s,oncc and

demand that we take action? How can we
ho passive at this time? No greater prob

the voice of the life-Eiviug and lira-couserv-

that intcrprets In its own way. which has
its ideals and expects 80 little 10 see them
