"Then, if love's first ideal now grows
wan,
And thou wilt love again,—again
love me
For what I am: no hero, hut a man
Still loving thee."
^Owen Meredith.
This little story is about Viola Lane
and G. T. Lane, husband and wife,
whqse domestic bark does not always
float upon smooth waters. It is about
a divorce suit that was but is no
longer. The reason the suit was but
is no longer is because love, though
it never runs smooth, Is like a cat
with nine lives. It may sometimes
be doused altogether beneath the
troubled waters of the sea of mat-
rimony, but it will come up again
and again.
Yesterday the storm cloudB gather-
ed. Love was' doused. All was not
well with the domestic life at the
Lane home, and so Mrs. Lane filed
suit for divorce. She went to a law
yer, told her tale of woe, and the
lawyer went to court.
This morning, however, it appears
that all was well along the Hudson and
the silver lining of the old clouds
shown forth. Love, like the cat with
nine lives, came again to the surface
and breathed. Mrs. Lane went again
to her lawyer, the lawyer again to
the courthouse and the suit was with-
drawn.
The dove of peace flaps its wings
above their home. Cupid smiles, and
all is lovely once more.
