broken heart, her family scattered and condemn

bayOnets from beside her grave, his hands red

masoleum with the true dignity that covered as
with halo the procession creeping through the
dust between the dead hearth of the Soandso
home and the country cemetery? What queen
ever knew so much of happiness as she, what en-
press held such power?
The foundations of life are home, husband and
children, and neighbors who love and trust There
and upon these is the palace of queens builded
as upon rock. Neither storms nor wars can
shake those foundations. Kaiserin or farm wife.
