Oh. Men Are Blind
By Les KimbIe

For young couple, recently married
life had that rosy glow produced by the
strains Of the wedding march, the perfume of
bridal bouquets, and other things too myster-
ious to fall within the ken of man. It is early
evening and the husband is sitting in a chair
reading the evening paper His bride of few
weeks steps into the living room, draped in
the soft folds of beautiful dress Standing
behind the husband, unseen and unheard, is
ghostly figure of no apparent substance,
which is not strange, considering that this
figure is ghost of husband long gone from
the this earth.
Hi, darling" the young lady's voice flows
like warm honey and an unusual CLEAN is in
her eyes, although her expression is pleasant
and she is smiling slightly If man were
entirely cynical he might term that CLEAN in
her eyes sly look, but we will not add to the
cynicism already too abundant in this tough
old world.
The young man looks up from his
paper at his lovely bride and smiles He
is puzzled for he detects something un.
usual in her manner, as If something
were expected of him. The smile holds
on his face to the point where IL begins
to look bit foolish as he gropes for
proper action or remark.

his face, is watching the young man ntently.

Welsh Rare Bit
Fair Forms. Fragrance

Ny brother, William W. Welsh, tells me
in his letters that the Towering deserts of
Nevada in the springtime are among ma
lures loyelier sights. He becomes rapturous
about the blooming cactus CcactD and about
how close the stars of night seem to be. He
says that longlegged cowboy could reach
up to the heavens and pull down a hat-full
Of stars any old night and spangle the dress
of his sweetheart with them. He tells me
that there is nothing in our county that
compares with the awesomeness of the
western mountains or the great sweeps of
open land that inpel one to think of his
inadequacy and of the transience of his
tenancy upon the world He might be quite
right in this and you may have seen his
simple and innocent features on Tv this past
Sunday as he spectated the Tournament of
Champions from Las Vegas
II you did see him, mark him well, for
he is one of the few men who saws that
there just may be more lovely place dur.
ing springtime than Mungummery County.
Springtime in our county is not a time
Of year. 1t is a condition of the mind and
a feeling induced by cocktail of colors,
fair forms, light and fragrance
1t is time of the year when the pres.
ent is so much with us that it is painful.
I find within myself conscious realization
OF my efforts to absorb the present lowell
ness; to deny the existence of past or the
probability Of future I want nature to
stop while perfect and not add to perfection
and risk imperfection.
Springtime is the moment of the present
which exists between the ending of winter
which is past, and the beginning of summer
which is future. 1t is the time when the
new green tips the English box, when the
bark of the Judas trees bursts with buds
when once more the lilacs in the door-yard
bloom and the woody azaleas are as colorful
as fireworks display in the fiery furnaces
