It is very inconsiderate to be a long while dying.” Mother's face crept up toward dad. She seemed to be taking from his fast glazing eyes a gleam of love that was for her. Then with a sigh, his eyelids dropped, and on his face slowly set- tled the peace that passeth all un- derstanding. So gently it came that even mother did not know until John, with his arms around her, raised her The Tangle to her feet and gently said “Come.” Then, Ruth, the floodgates broke. My mother, who had been so calm, became a woman imbued with mar- velous will, railing at fate. Leslie, Leslie, there is my whole thought,” she said turning to the still form of my father. “There is my whole love, and it is gone out of my life. I cannet bear it!” Gently we took pstairs and I watched her fall 83 ‘a troubled isleep, after I had given her-a quiet- ing potion. When John came up he found me in a paroxysm of tears. It was only then I realized my own great loss. John came to me and took me in his arms and comforted me. Just the feel of his arms about me, Ruth, did give me comfort. I knew: that all that which had gone before was nothing, and there was only between us our great love. I understand what you meant when you wrote me not to separate from my hus- band and face the loneliness of life without him, unless all love had fled. “Oh, John,” I said, {will this ever come to me? Can’t you see mother and dad starting out as you and I are starting out? Can’t you imagine all the great experiences they have passed through? Can you realize how the inad, glad passion of youth at last calmed down into a beautiful companionship that made them seem one indeed? “Now that they had grown alike in thought, speech, and views, and just as they had now become one, a’ part of this blessed whole is left here, forsaken and alone, in a deso- late, aching void, while the other, with volition, has gone into the Great ‘Beyond—into that mysterious eternal finality which takes toll of us all, one by one.” (Copyright, 1924, NEA Service, Inc.)

New York, Oct. ~17.—Just about the most sophisticated thing in this sophisticated town is a black cat. It sleeps on the sidewalk on Forty- second street, 100 feet from Times Square. Thousands throng by on their way to the theatre. Rags and satins, The beautiful and damned and the ugly and blessed. Rich man and poor man, Many stop to stroke the cat’s head. It pays no attention. It is neither resentful nor responsive. It is a picture of complete indifference to the milling multitude that reflects ,all the drama of: humanity: What does such a cat, think about?

It is quite natural’ that a mother should warn a child against various dangers, but to put definite fear into the heart of the child is something quite different. The proper procedure is to explain carefully the conditions of a thing which a child needs to fear—whether it be automobiles or disease.

The first, which reflects the social and economic changes wrought by the war, fol- lows: “Peer wants work; under 40; ener- getic, resourceful; ‘horses, motors, literature; served in Royal Air Force.” The other shows the die hard spirit, the spirit that’s out to main- tain the old social standards at all hazards. Here it is: “There is now a vacancy (first class) for Lady Inebriate in Home at —.
