mystery which he throws about

help being surprised that this vet

thing puzzling In the phenomenon.
The mystery is only apparent, and
the explanation, which he cor.
rectly conjectures to be a simple
one. depends merely on the ordi-
nary principles Of perspective.

wonderful vision.

sun, behind the clouds. The suns

Burroughs assumes that they ought
to be, and do not diverge, as he

do. after passing through the
openings in the clouds. But a

the willows in the hollow: sailing
like a swift-winged swallow where
the world lies hushed and stilIY
Did you ever think of leaving all
the worry and the fret, all the
heartache and the grieving, all the
scheming and deceiving, all the
folly and regret? Then I know the
road you're wanting: 1 can lead
you where IL wends, past the black

birds sing their ditty and the snow.

poplars. tall and slender, stand
like sentinels at ease, where the
great oaks rise in splendor, and
the wild rose. fair and tender,
whispers to the passing breeze.
That's the road you would be TAX

IN LOVE WITH TWO MEN
By Beatrice Fairfax

I'm not suggesting that love Is
a prison. I'm not indicating that
love cuts a human being off from
all interests and stimulations ex.
cept those Il affords. Again and
again I find myself quoting the
brilliant woman who said:
when I met John, the door Of
my heart closed against all other
men. But not a door In my mind
closed"
There lies the. point. Love 10
fulfilling and satisfying. II one.
person finds his true mate In. an
other. he isn't looking around for
a lot of half or quarter mates.
But to feed love. we need to. grow
and Keep pace with the mate who
means FAR more than merely. an
emotional affinity. A man might
easily outgrow his early love II
sfie stood still at the point where
he found her when she was twenty.
So friendships and outside inter.
ests enrich MS and make us the
more fit for love. But there 10 a
line which no outsider need In
dicate to a true lover. ~.
