- ONE women know how to part
gracousiy from youth. Some wo-
omen don't. Don't be one of the
don'ts. .a
I + you know nineteen ways of folding u
napkin, and your neighbor knows
twenty, allow her full credit for her
superior knowledge, but work night aud day
until you achieve twenty-one.

get mad because she SURPRISES you is envy
and envy is a sin. +,

to Dickenslnnd. 1t will do US all
good to spend an hour with the
cricket on Dots hearth, while we watch

exclusively her own. Together we will
peep In the small house that looks like a
brick pimple on the big house, and together
weep over the pathetic lies OF poor Caleb
and blind Bertha's more pitiful belief.
And while the waits are singing in the
snowy night we will catch q glimpse of
surly Gabriel Grub drinking his schnapps

We hurry. skurry through our lives, al
ways in a rush. Is it any wonder that we
are sights to see before we re old enough
to appreciate the delights of living?
Some time when you come across

then review your own appetite methods.
They will suffer by contrast.
