She rushed and hurried from one thing
to another and accomplished nothing,
Thinking about the party she would
have to have, she could not be suited
with clothes, and with clothes on her
mind she could not get down to brass
tacks about the party or concentrate
on getting up report.
Leila went TO the first meeting in
her tailored suit, and the other ladies
all wore theirs.

THERE is a story running now In one
i of the magazines which deals with
an interesting problem.
A woman who has been disappointed
in her marriage has sought romance
only to find disillusionment and turns
absolutely away from marriage and love.
She leaves her dissolute husband,
goes away and brings up her only
daughter in n strange creed.
The child has no God to worship, no
faith to hold TO and as she grows up
she Is never allowed TO know any boys.
She falls in love at last, suddenly,
with n man she has seen only a few
times and her mother turns the man
away FROM the door, refuses to allow
hcr daughter to see him or have any
thing to do with him and thinks that
she has been successful in her efforts
TO keep her child from ''unhappiness
and misery"
or course, she has only made her
unhappy and rebellious..
AS you read you think "how ridicu-
lous for anybody to think that woman
would really behave that way! Why,
any woman would know that IL girl
fell in love nothing that anybody told
her would make her give il up. 1t isn't
real, it isn't possible!'
DUT it is.
- Perhaps you have never known a
woman who would do just this: but
you have surely known women and men
who feel that because they have made
mistake, because they have found somc-
