THE CHILDREN GET The GRAVY.
But the Father Of the Family Gets the Fun
Of Giving 1t to Them.

You know" said the father Of a
family, ''it makes me laugh whenever
/ think Of the children : absolute nerve
about the gravy. VIVA. mean is thai.
when We have a steak, or roas. beef, OF
anything that has gravy with il, the
children take II all, down to the last
drop, without leaving speck for their
father and mother. And they're perfect.
y sound hearted, wholesome children,
too, who would do anything they could
for their parents. But about some things
they haved selfshness that appears TO
BE- perfectly natural 70 children. and
that suppose is bred in indulgence.
They have all their lives been accus-
toned to having everything that their
parents could give them, and SO they
come to expect it.
But I smile again as I recall the fact
that when l was a boy got all the
gravy. Time and again I have seen ny
father tip the dish SO that be might get
for me the last drop. while he had none
for himself He was very fond Of
gravy, too, but be never said 50. With

grew q little older, reproached myself
sometimes for having taken 1t all.
When I grew older still and came to
know how gentle and asec.!onate and
forbearing and generous he was, came
to know that be wouldn't for the world
have marred my pleasure BY so much as
a word-that the simple fact was that
it was far greater pleasure to him to
give me the gravy than it would have
been 70 eat it himself.
And now when the children pass
their plates gravely dish out the gravy
down to the last drop, and I say nothing
for fear that they will rob me Of the
selfish pleasure Of giving it ali to them.
But I smile to myself once more as I
think Of what will happen when they
come TO have children Of their own. I
know what they II do then. They'll give
1t all to the children, down to the last,
