A DEAN OF WOMEN A Two Sides to Every P Question : A By FANNIE HURST Vv (© by McClure Newspaper Syndicate.) (WNU Bervice) 8 ®B 8 & OST people in summing up the subject of the Studdiford sis- ters were inclined to agree that of the two, Marion had the better mind. Luella had simply used hers to better advantage, As a matter of fact, compared with the erudition of her twin, Marion was sorely lacking. Life had turned out that way for her. In the heginning, the two sisters, hand in hand, neck to neck, so to speak, had begun what was to be their four years’ course at the state university for which they had both qualified with honors, Of the two, it is probably true that during the first year, Marion's college standing was a peg ahead of her sis- ter's. Not that it was scarcely worth recording. Marion would have been the last to encourage that. For practical purposes, two sist ranked about on a level.

From her kind, almost over night, as it were, Marion, after her marriage became outcast. The friends who had known her, university col leagues, the members of her social group, simply did not speak Tom's idiom, Fool! Fool! Nature had trapped Marion. At twenty-three, the entire course of her life had shifted away from the fine true course of her sis- ter's, At thirty, Luella, all on her own, mind you, and with a mind no better than Marion's, had achieved position, Not, as shé told herself again and again, that she would yearn for the rather frigid dignity that went with Luella’s position as dean of women, but just the same, life could be no more barren for Luella, unmarried, than it was for Marion, married to Tom. On the contrary, for the freedom that was Luelia's it seemed to Marion that she would be willing to sacrifice actual years of her life. And the horrible part of it was Tom's inno. cence of all this dismay. He was like & small boy, content with his lot: eon tent with his wife; content with his playtoys of cheap automobile and ex- pensive radio. Life was good: Ma. rion was good; automobile tires were lucrative. All was well in his world. He was killed outright while demon- strating, to a customer, the perform. ance of a set of his own tires, To Marion, who had repeatedly, throughout the years of her life with him, contemplated the hour when she must destroy his house of cards, by revealing her state of mind, his death came as release, and yet, at the same time filled her with a sense of rectl- tude that took away stings of con- science, het own Tom had dled without knowing. Tom had dled belleving her to be as uncomplex and happy in thelr mar ringe as he had been, Marion was grateful for that, It made evérything subsequent come easier, What actually happened, as her friends put it, was the return of the fish to its water. Two months after Tom's death, Marion matriculated in the university from which she had married as a sophomore and took her first degree two years later, cum laude, They were to her the happlest years of her life, It was as if her mind, dehydrated by the long period of inactivity and intellectual sunless- ness, had suddenly found capacity of expansion again, Sometimes it actuals ly seemed to her that under the con- geniality of the old environment that she could actually feel her mentality reviving, lifting itself, warming itself in stimulating contacts. It was considered remarkable that at the conclusion of her college course she had gone beyond that point, and was halfway qualified for a second degree, The return of the native, sald Luella, smiling upon her with a large in- dulgence, The Indulgence of more to Marion than would ad- mit, even to herself, It was not that she craved a position similar to that of Luella’'s, but it had to Luella meant she We] lt be faced at last, more than anything she could think of, Marion wanted prove to herself, and to the her mind, If not better, good as her erudite gister's, eve of Mar upon a to world, was ‘at as wns fixed reso. difficult goal, similar to High Praise Coming to Mothers of Invention Hows } Morse, Mf invention.- First American Astronomer David clockmaker came | m ments and because observations, he was world and the Old. a brick was the first and only observatory in this country.

It resembles the hedge. hog, through It Is somewhat larger. The hair of the skin is mingled with spines on the upper part of the body, Its egg Is about three-fourths of an irch in diameter, with a leathery shell, and is placed, as soon as laid, in the mammary pouch of the mother, The echidna and the duck-billed platypus of Australia are the only warm-blooded animals that lay eggs and also suckle thelr young. second Explaining Gulf Stream The Gulf stream owes its origin to the northeast trade winds, which blow constantly toward the American shore from the direction of the Canary and Cape Verde Islands.
