but infinitely worse, and most ot
us have felt a touch OF one or the other
at some time IN our lives
There arc q thousand different varc-
ties of loneliness. The girl who has
spent her life in the city thinks she
knows the meaning of loneliness when
She hnds herself out IN the country for
the hrst time
She misses the noises OF the dty. the
push and force of the crowds, the lights
and shadows Of the streets at night She
misses them with a kcenness that acui-
ally hurts NJ IL IS only a vacation of
pleasure, not an enforced vacation be-

of the city itself which comes to the
stranger within its gates

for she experiences the most bitter, the
most gnawing of an forms of Loneliness.
To pass thousands Of faces IN a day
and not know one TO see thousands and
thousands of human beings surge by
without a glance or a thought of her; to
realize that her health, her sickness, even
her death would mean nothing at all 10

ings about her, is what brings . heart
