PARTS We PLAY.-"It may be
true that all the worlds stage"
said the gloomy man, but the
statement that the men ahd women
are players is gross flattery in most
cases"
"What would you call them?"

with occupation would imply the
power to labor, and that would
mean freedom from want. And oc-

take form and grow, the pleasure of
"rhe man who does not find en-
joyment in labor misses the most
