"Deep Mourning" Passes

Awife met him at the gate and TO-
gether they walked up the garden
path to the house. The wife told
her husband about the new roses
that were blossoming in the lower
garden and about the new robins
that built a nest in the maple tree
by the porch and the husband lis
tened and felt the weight Of his
cares lifting minute by minute.
But in the morning when he was
rested and ready to 90 10 the city
for his day Of anxiety and care the
wife said:

from the garden by air mail. I got

Now, twenty years ago people
would have thought that woman
heartless. She would have had to
leave her husband and travelled

would have been thought wicked
for her to smile.
