ARE MODERNS TOO TOUCHY:

The time was-and not so long
ago-when sweetheart or lover,
bride or groom, had the sweet
privilege of dancing on his or her
partners feet if he or she desired
or couldn't do any better dancing.
Not now. Then it was one Of the
proof of that deathless love
through which lovers from the
time men began. to use spoken
language perjured themselves to
penetrate further into the sanctity
of woman's affection. Not now.
Whether men have been cured Of
the perjury habit in their amorous
adventures, or whether they have
just got plain fed up on the end
less brand of love, is not entirely
clear. But - when groom tells
his beaming bride that she almost
tramped his feet off with her orig
inal dancing" and that he is
through dancing with her, what is
the human-born inference? Isn't
it perfectly clear that a mighty
change has entered when no one
was looking?
The bride cried with a broken
heart and took poison. She has a
fighting chaneg to get we'll. What
hurt her so much was that she
knew her groom is ''the best dan
Ger in Brooklyn" so she took dan
cling lessons for some time before
her marriage in order to be duti-
full wife. And see what became of
it all! "He up and told me my
dancing was plain bum" Could
any bride only three days old stand
for that?
The groom Of the Victorian days
would have remembered those sore
feet with extra pleasure because
they came from the "tootsies" of
the sweetest girl in the universe.
Not now. The modern young man
is 'touchy." Perhaps, too, the
brides of today are not quite what
they were in the Victorian days.

Those who are not familiar with

realize what a shock it was to
certain Iowan to fill out a royal

the event was rare and fortunate

believe that the death of the lucky
man was fitting climax.

be sure, for instance, that the
Iowan whose death came so sud-
denly had not been notably un-
lucky throughout his life? II he
were, the stroke of good fortune
which caused his death had a BIT
terly logical outcome.
There was an old peasant who
lived near Carcasonne-so says an
old French poem. Longing all his
life to see the famous town. he was
always unable to make the short
trip which would free him tern
porarily from the narrow rut Of his
daily life. At last his desire was
to be fulfilled. On the morrow lie
was surely to go to Carcasonne:
but that night he died. Luck such

Yes. She was fascinating, I'll
say that for her, even though l
never liked her.
Cautiously enough, Irene did, and
that makes what happened all the
worse. She was brilliant and diff
ferent, somehow, and, beside her,
poor delicate little Irene was like
dull, gray moth to most people"
"And you never heard that she
had any relatives in Wheatfield or
elsewhere" Barry asked.
"Why, yes! How stupid Of me!
There was young sister thot

"A sister," Barry exclaimed.
"When did you see her? What was

her, Mrs. Tyrrell; perhaps she is

"Well, about seven years after

AN IDEAL
BY Bert0n Braley


This world would be a heaven,
With hope and love it's leaven,
With beauty all about US and with
laughter in the air,
And not the least upheaval
Of sin or shame or evil,
F., A world devoid Of trouble or of
battle or of care;
Faith never would grow dim in
The hearts Of men and women,
We'd walk our paths in glad
ness and charity and peace,
With spirit true and tender
We'd fill the world with splendor,
And all the hate and jealousy and
quarreling would cease;
Life would become Q vision
OF happiness elysian,
The world q perfect paradise
to hold us il its thrall,
IF mid our plots and plans and
schemes,
We'd realize one-half the dreams
Our happy mothers. dreamed for
us when we were very small.
