She went out and closed the door

she had just left. A strange sort
of bride-to.be she was, not caring
about the wedding dress she was
to wear when she gave herself
to the man of her choice! And
she looked unhappy. too, sitting
there in bed, with those great big
solemn wondering puzzled eyes.
Bobbie was puzzled.

she said to herself as she washed
her bright hair and dried it, later
in the morning.
In her room everything was in
readiness. Her green dress lay
spread out on the bed. The new
green stockings were drying on
the back of a chair in front of
the window. The suitcase was
packed and locked and ready.
Only Boobies heart was not
ready, somehow, for the marriage
and the beginning of the adven-
ture Of marriage-with Gus Mac

THOUGHTS ON
RELIGION

MANY of mans best traits

without religion" writes the Eng.
hsh literary critic 1. A. Richards
In the July number of the Forum
magazine. But" he goes on to
say. perhaps 1t is only those of
his religious feelings which are
least unnatural. least disturbed
by beliefs that are really to be
praised. A great deal has Ger.
tainly come into his mind by the
same means which he would be
better without. / am thinking of
certain forms of callousness, of
discomfort. of inconsistencies for
heaven, of nostalgia. of yearning
after the impossible; of much
