Even if it had not been set down In
Holy Writ for fact, there would be
no escaping the truth of: ITO him
that hath, it shall be given
In our dictionary him" of course,
includes her" Which is more than
he is able to do outside the dictionary
This is bit of story Of her
that had-and therefore got.
The Lord himself, they say was sur.
priSed when he saw her. Her earthly
father was so stunned with pride that
he called her "Peachblow." And with
good reason. She was born just about
the time when the Peachblow vase
was exciting the world.
The unknown genius who was the
author of that masterpiece never
dreamed when he put it in the fire
that it would come out so wonderful,
And so the mysterious Potter who
places souls In the furnace of human
bodies was enchanted and amazed bv
the curious. unforeseen, unattended
beauty of this girl when she was born.
They had selected the name of Ellen
Anne Green for her before they saw
her, but afterward they called her
Peachblow.
Such a peculiar luster she had. with
the glow of glaze yet the aura Of q
mist, that the Potter longed to show
her how he loved her by endowing
her with some intentional gift sur
passing even the fOrtuitous charm she
brought with her out of the kiln of
mystery.
SO He gave her a power He had
never even granted Himself-that of
annulling what had been and making
it as If it had been. He authorized
her and empowered her to change her
mind and try again from the start
She could rub out the past and do 1t
over again!
She learned Of her awful power

Then she found herself in the world
OF grown-up women. They were think
ing of matrimony.
Some were not married and wanted
TO be, but dreaded it and could not
find a satisfactory mate. Mates were
admirable, adorable or advisable but
rarely all three at once. The women
who were married seemed to be for
ever pointing out what martyrs thew
were and how well they stood II: or
else were longing to try new form
of martyrdom with somebody else.
Peachblow longed for the JOYS. the
sorrows, the burdens of home. She
wanted to do her share In the world.
to multiply, and all that sort of thing.
Love is so glorious thing that !
think I'd like to be loved by the low
INCEST lover in all the world"
She cast about for the person most
worthy Of that distinction.
The man who seemed To he Tho lead
Ing lover in respect to quantity and
quality was known to all the world
as Claude Winsor. SO she said:
II think I'll marry Claude Winsor"
Her father and mother exclaimed
aloud:
"But he's a movie actor and he's
married"
"The first argues skill" she unused.
"Out the second Is an obstacle. do
wish he had never been married"
There was en- audible click anil
buzz, peculiar jolt in the universe,
dizzy feeling as if someone had
thrown the world into the reverse gear
then set it back IN high. The family
said:
That's funny! Did you notice any
thing"
Then they forgot it and returned to-
the popular sport of denouncing the
motion picture people and crediting
them with inventing more novel sins
