  <h1>Balanced Column Breaks</h1>
  <div class="story">
    <p>Orphans protects lines at the bottom of a column or page before a break happens.</p>
    <p>Widows protects lines at the top of the next column or page so paragraphs do not start with a lonely single line.</p>
    <p>Using both together is a common typography pattern for magazines, newspapers, and long-form articles.</p>
  </div>
