Nevertheless, there is such thing as duty to ones family, and there is an obligation of honor for the. strong to help the weak. Some times it happens that one member of a family seems to inherit all of the strength of body and mind, and to get all of the intelligence and backbone and initiative that the parents had to bequeath to their offspring, and in such cases the gifted should surely look out for his brothers and sisters who have no

The Han sons came to take me for motor drive. so did not get the report done, but I locked up the sheets in my suitcase, intending to finish it later in the day.
 On my return from the few hours trip I found rather frantic note. from Sara Frances. She said she had been called home by the arrival of, some un- expected relatives and for me to, bring or send the report at once. She said she had hunted for it until she almost lost. her train. Poor dear, could fsee she was much excited.
 "Lucile," she said to me yesterday over the phone, q think you ought to know that you just about ruined my report. In the first place, it didn't get there until an hour before the meet ing of the league, and when got into the middle of reading it I found you had left out two pages.

A divorced woman was a dis graced woman no matter how right eous she was, nor how justified she was in ridding herself of a fiend, so she had to endure a miserable marriage with what patience she could. But now we view the mat ter differently. We see that no good purpose is achieved by keep ing two people together who have come to hate each other, and who bring out the worst that is in each other and that no one should be made to pay with lifetime of mis- cry for a mistake that was made in all innocence and good faith.
