Every one thinks that he can enjoy him

his ambition, but it is as much OF an art to
have a good time as it is to make for

for it, and the good time does not follow be-
it. The larger number of persons enter upon
life without any special consideration of its
meaning or its opportunities, OF what they
can do with themselves. II they can earn a
living they think that they do well, and if
they earn more than living, they are pretty
sure to show that they do not know how
to make wise use of their surplus. This is
