THE GENTLEST LADY.
They say He serious child,
And quiet in his ways.
They say the gentlest lady smiled
To hear the neighbors' praise.
The Golfers of her heart would close
Upon their smallest word.
Yet did they say "How tall He grows!"
They thought she had not heard
They say upon his birthday eve
She'd rock Him to His rest
AS if she could not have Him leave
The shelter of her breast.
The poor must go in bitter thrift,
The poor must give in pain,
But ever did she set gift
To greet His day again.
They say she'd kiss the boy awake,
And hail Him gay and clear,
But oh, her heart like to break
To count another year.
= Dorothy Parker in 'The Sunset Gun"

The leaders of the church decided they would
meet at the pastors home that night and hold
prayer service. While an elder was engaged in
pious and fervent supplication, punctuated by
equally pious and fervent "Amens" from the as
sembled party, knocking was heard at the
door. When, finally, the door was opened, a
cheerful, ruddy faced farmer lad stood before

Asserts Men Get
AdUnntageS by
Marriage, La10

BIZ United Press
CHICAGO, April 28.-Marriage
and law, from the standpoint of
woman. are not all they should be,
the convention of the National
League of Women Voters was told
here.
It seems men get the best of the
bargain in each case. And when
man stands before the marriage
altar and makes assertions that he
will share his assets with his wife,
he is. perhaps, laughing up his
sleeve.
The assertion that man gets ev-
erything and woman nothing by the
marriage pact was made from the
convention floor by DR.. Sophonisiba
Breckenridge, head of the social
economics department of the Uni
versity Of Chicago.
DR.. Breckenridge declared that
when a man says, with all my
worldly goods I thee endow" he
doesn't endow his bride with any
thing.
what he does do is endow HIM
self with all her property" DR..
Breckenridge said. Marriage makes
them one, and man is it,"
She urged equal guardianship Of
children, abolition of common law
marriages and the safeguarding of
womenS marriage rights.
