Basket of Chips, page 145

Rtimindtions of Life and Art We planned to make the same trip in our auto with our chil- dren, but the war came and that thought had to be abandoned. Our second honeymoon will always be a beautiful memory to me. HER TRIPS ALONE She took one trip without me to the Panama American Exposition in California in 1915."" My sister Maude went with her. It was not possible for us both to go so she went and was well repaid for the trip. There was no unpleasantness and her former experience in travel came in handy. And 0 how glad I was to get her back again! We both felt as though we could never be separated again and we were not until the "New Lover" won her away from me. New Lover So long I've fozlght with pdin That I might stay with you, Earth-lover, my mdte. I know How empty life wozlld be for yoti If I sbotild go.
