believe in being young as long as posi-
BILE? Don't you think it's just as well
to be merry whenever you can? And

and are for the time being the heroes Of
the hour.

Kick ball over fence filled me with
envy and respect. One can't help re-
specting people for being able to do
what one knows one can't do ones self,
and could not kick ball if the fate Of
nation depended on it.
