I have never, even in thought, belonged to more than on# during any g'v«n time. Every time I loved it was so ardently and perfectly that I believed it was for the first and last time in my life." So wrote Aurore Dupln, known In claRsio literature by the pen name of George Sand. This was almost one hundred years ago.

Mrs. Howe, a slender, dy namic woman, confessed: “I had no intention of becoming a writer, but the misunderstood character of this great woman in trigued me. I first got the idea to Gtudy her life when I saw Philip Moeller's play. He had depicted a chatter-box type of woman. This ruffled me because I knew Sand was a silent, reflective woman.” My Carnation. Ah, beautiful flower with delicate flakes, You come, gracing the month of May— As if Holy Communion, each one partakes In honor of Mother’s day. Some take a white one—others take pink; The color—grim fate has decreed. With loving remembrance, we lorge a new link In the chain that is serving our need.

"Farmers will not be deceived by this obvious political trick,” McKel vie said. "No doubt a good many cf them will attend the convention at Kansas City. But the vast ma jority are busy in their fields, and will be found there throughout tne weeks to come.
