ADMIREs STRATEGY
OF CLARICE ID.

In defense of "Clarice D." let me
say what wonderful thing it is
that to all, men and women alike,
God has given an individuality, a
right to do as he or she pleases, and
never is it pleasing to God to be
under the domination or slavery of
any ones idea. especially in the
close relationship of home life. In
holding out and refusing to dust.
Clarice is showing one of the great
principles OF discipline and strategy.
How much wiser in every phase of
life to give in to the hearts ambi-
tion and longing. foolish though it
may be. than to break the spirit,
for the happiness never again re-
turns. ST. CLAIRE ETIENNE.
