rift between marian and prances had started months before the january floods of the wabash had imprisoned hundreds of farm people who lived in tho valley in their homes to be followed by subfcero wcatlicr and the turning of the water into great ocean of ice the rift had really started in juno when tho two girls just graduating from college had both applied for the position of as sistant in
