’ Love in a Cottage Jem sits in Rhubarb Lodge, and views the hills afar; if she but had a Hup or Dodge, or any other car! Then she might scorch along the braes as other people do, and cut a swath in crowded ways where shining motors choo. Then she might travel like the Browns, the plutes across the bloc her with frowns because she has to walk. But now it’s time to make things hum and get the evening meal, for James, her husband, who will come with kind and loving spiel. He'll take her in his stal- wart arms and kiss her on the nose, and say she’s worth nine upland farms, and other things like those. Ah, once she fell for stuff like that, when they were newly wed, and moved into a little flat all painted green and red. With love to cherish and maintain all other things were dross; the splendor of the rich was vain, their wealth a total loss. And now the Browns go forth in style, they chug around the block; they look upon her with a smile because she has to walk. The Johnsons have a limousine in which they ride in pomp; and while she walks across the green she wagon romp. The Jimpsons sy Stude in which much coin was put: and when she goes to buy some food she has to go afoot. The Bulgers have a stately Cad, upholstered rich and rare; and when she journeys through the grad she uses Shank’s old mare. That Pack- ard coming down the street is driven by the Greggs; and when she goes to buy some meat she has to use her legs. It s s her husband is alone in being shy a boat; he salts down every hard earned bone, and she must be the goat. He tells her she’s the dear of dears, his darling, his adored; and when he’s saved A WEATHER VANE for YOUR GARAGE SPECIALLY DESIGNED BY Yohm Weld}.

He says she has the finest eyes like summer stars; and she r neighbor guys are all equipped with cars. Oh, some have Franklins, cooled with air, that down the highway float; and James alone can never spare the coin to buy a boat. And while she warms some pork and beans that James may feed his face, her thoughts are all of limousines and cars that gayly race. He comes, he comes, the loving James, a good and gallant gink; but little does he know of dames, or of the thoughts they think. He loves Jemima forty and that should be enough; he loves her, loves her, all his days, and love's the only stuff. Perhaps upon a south sea isle his love would fill the bill, and she would thrive upon the smile he hands her with a will. But she is living in a town where motors chug and choo; and always there Smith or Brown impinging on the view. And there are girls she used to know when she attended school; before her cottage, row on row, their shining vans GRINDSTONE HILL | And she must walk while others ride, and lead an empty life; the visions that sustain a bride won't answer for a wife.
