.KINSHIP TIES ARE STRONGEST
Closer Than That of
Sweethearts.

Pauline is an only child; for her
one gateway into romance is barred
and bolted. No childish memories of
joys and sorrows shared in the earli-
est, most impressionable years will
forge for her the strongest of all
chains-that between children born of
the same parents.
In Serbian folk lore the tie between
brother and sister is more often the
theme of romance than that between
sweethearts-in this tie of kinship lies
q mystic significance. George Eliot
recognized it in "The Mill on the
Floss" the great English classic of
brotherly and sisterly love.
In "Wuthering Heights" Catherine
Earnshaw cries out passionately of
Heathcliff, Hes more myself than
ami Whatever our souls are made
Of his and mine are the same"
Such bond as there was between
those two-strange, cOmbatiye, but all
powerful-is seen many time between
brother and brother, sister and sister
perhaps IuOSI I'll oil DGIWctl DIOtuCl
and sister-a bond which finds no ex-
preston in caresses or words of af-
fection-but is nevertheless strong
unto death, it's origin sunk deep in ele-
mental truth
Sweethearts may kiss and cling and
swear eternal fealty marry; then tire,
and seek divorce-but who she'll ever
be divorced from that elemental tie of
kinship? Am I my brothers keep
err asked Cain. and throughout the
ages some deep instinct has answered
"yes."
Thus it is that to many an only
child is a pathetic, If not tragic
figure, barred from a thousand joys
and hopes and purifying sorrows, too.
Pauline may have hosts of friends
when she is grown up; she may
marry and have children-but there
is one most precious comradeship in
life that she will never know.-London
