a hard crust covered the soft

Flying, Solomon could have COW

Love and Married Life
BY the Noted Author
Idah McGlone Gibson

Alice stood for a moment beside
the deck chair on which my baby
was living asleep, and for the flrst
time I realized how great had been
her desire and how unsatisfied her
longing for a child. | knew that
the one that was coming to her
would seem like the consummation
of her womanhood. Some way,
although Alice had always told me
that she had never known the
great passion for Tom that we are
taught is necessary to a successrui
marriage. 1 knew that of all my
friends, the marriage or Alice anu
Tom Staunton was the most sue
cessful l had ever known. Meta
err had cared for the other 10 the
extent where absolute possession
saan,,ed necessary. consequently
Zach was perfectly willing that the
other should own himself ana her-
self.

Alice and Tom had come to tnas
,lace where they were almost m

Boston.-Women of the east
have taken their first plunge into
the mysteries of the voting booth.
With good grace, little hesita-
ton and no confusion, they crossed
their ballots for the first time at
the primaries in Massachusetts and
New Hampshire.
They were distinctly feminine
about it, however. There were wo-
men who came to the polling
booths with their baby carriages;
there were women who forgot
their umbrellas and had to go back
to the marking places for them
there were women who used shop
ping tactics; there were women
who wanted their ballots back af-
ter they had been put in the box
because they changed their minds;
there were women who demanded
new ballot because they hadn't
been neat with the first; there
were women who wanted to talk

Well, the thaw came. And the

dld not seem SO easy as usual
Solomon had grown heavy all at
once-and goodness knows it was
not because he had overeatef:, for
food was scarce at that season of
the year: Moreover, Solomon's
wings were strangely stiff When
he moved them they cracked.

to himself I'm afraid this wet

So he started home at once--though
it was only midnight. But the
further he. went, the worse he
felt--and the harder it was to fly.
TN have to rest while" he
said to himself at last. So he
alighted on a limb; for he was
more tired than he had ever been
in all his life.
But he soon felt so much better
that he was ready to start on
again. And then, to his dismay,
Solomon Owl found that he could
hardly stir. The moment he left
his perch he floundered down up
on the ground. And though he
tried his hardest, he couldn't
reach the tree again.
The rain was still beating down
steadily. And Solomon began to
think it. a bad night to be out.
What was worse, the weather was
fast turning cold.
I'm afraid I'll have to stay in
bed a week after this he groaned.

Now, if it hadn't been for the
rain, Solomon Owl would have had
no trouble at all. Or if it hadn't
been for the freezing cold he would
have been in no difficulty. Though
he didn't know it, his trouble was
simply this: The rain froze upon
