Thus does lovel women spurn un-

Let us look back to the time When
Mary MacLane first started 10 fer-
ment way out in Butte. Mont. At firal
the startled natives didn t know wHal
her unusual talent lor self-expression
meant. Some suggested it was mad-
tiess. a few Ouustht genius. The few

If there was anything the matter
with Mary. Butte Mont . was to
blame so her friends said. Mary was
the pioneer enemy of m.notonoui life
However this weird genius is al-
ways well able to express bitingly and
picturesque if often tiresomely
her reactions to life place and cir-
cumstances ror Instance;
Mary'-. Morass ot Monotony
"1 and all other seamstresses and
monotonous clerks and lawyeri and
housewives sit upright in chairs and
talk into telephones and walk fusl and
cat breakfa.t and brush hair; all the
while marooned in a morass of small
wild unexciting tasteless pain."
Naturally Mary was none too care-
ful to bale her dislike of Butte and .:s
people and just as naturally those
spurned ones sh wed their dislike too.
Mary says of them:
"I meet Jea;e en the stre't whom
1 know whom I may speak to whom
1 may avoid who may speak to me.
who may avoid me. for I am best well
luited in this But e "
"Paltry." rude." dingy." these
words were used to characterise ei
home town by the oddly-tah ntsd and
6lad-tobe-miundei"etood young wo-
man In another sentence she speaks of
being as free as a wildcat on a twi-
light hill."
