THE BUPTONIAN La A COTTAGE INEAT AND OTHERYVISE By Anna B Heinenxvay 33 Yesterday as I was walking by the rixcr the river in 'dm hu er mexns the Battenkill you knowj I chanced to sec a pathetic cld Ggure of 1 woman trudgmg wearily across the fields toward home I presumed Interested in the tired droop of her shoulders I followed her I could llready picture her home 1 dirty little hovel with odds and ends lying around and cluttcring it up Out prrt of a u y rusting in the winds and the rain a piece of an old mowing in xchine was propped up beside a cavmv dilapidated barn Alas for my pictures or perhaps not alas for over the top of the next hill was a small white cottage nestlinff amonff the green ln ls of Vermont with a well kept lawn surrounding it The tile roof glistcned red in the sun and a man was stretched lazily in a lawn chair readme a book fhe sad weary lookinff woman gg '1 qui lt lool around at the nci hhoring birchesj she hurriedly shed her shoddy cloak and hat and emerged a trim young woman in a good looking summer dress Turning towards the man IH the chair she gave him something and then went slowly into the house A queer proceeding this My mind went over the events hast1ly and stuck a moment on the terrihed expression I had seen in the womans eyes as she had turned for a moment towards me The next mormng I learned of a raid that had taken place at a little white red tile roofed house the night before Oho' So that was it The next time I was down at the river I wandered over there and to my surprise no neat white cottage met my view Instead a dirty white house the red tile no longer gleaming and over the once well kept lawn a number of things lay rusting and rotting The meadow beyond the house was t1lled and plowed and neat rows of corn stood in military order What a contrast to the house' Evidently a farmer had taken over the place and was busy raising a crop rather than keeping a good looking house A neat house well kept lawn a bootlegger An uncared for house 1 good crop a Vermont farmer Slowly I turned back toward home A little sigh escaped me That cottaffe had been so attractive but the people 1n It well the farmer was probably a good sort and would clean up around the house after the haylng was over READING DIFFICULTIES By Alan Howes 37 Although you may think that getting the correct light is the foremost obstacle to reading it 1sn t The greatest difficulty I think is Ending the story you were readme and then finding the place There ought to be a law against serials You always lose the maga ine containing the most important chapter If you try to saxe them as they come and then read the complete story all at once you generally lo e all of them or else somone thoughtfully uses them to light the fire Even if you have all the serial somebody else is always reading it and they always say wlll finish it in a minute a minute that seems and is an hour Even if you can find the right magazine it s hopeless to try to find your place You see you cant win It s better not to read at all or buy the book when it s been marked down to two ninety eight nr' 4 L ,J 1 T 4 W l - , , ' Q r ' i 1 Q 'Qt 1 : ' , , .
