GHOSTS OF KISSES

riages@ are possible when the wife
does the thing her husband wants
her to do just as she must obey her
boss in an office or a store. The
women of the new generation do not
seem to think the game is worth

Tonight l knew that I did not
want to settle down to married life.
A woman cannot be free after she
is married She must live up to the
rules and obey her boss, and, unlike
a business life, she cannot get out of

weary smile, for I was dead tired
and Just could not go to sleep, Il
certainly am getting enough excite
ment tQ satisfy the most exacting
person, man or woman"
AS that thought came to me

upon my lips, and-and-all unknow.
