risen, though it was an exquisite day.
On the breakfast table, on huge dish

which five rigid eggs had slowly bled
to death. Presently Rossetti appear

THE FAD FOR OPTIMISM.
Latest Wrinkle Calls for Forgetfulness
of Trouble.


One of the most wh1esome fads that
has been prevalent among society at
large is the newest OF all-optimism
For it is no longer the fashion to go
about looking as though you bore the
burdens of the world upon your de.
voted shoulders. But, instead, you're
expected to look blithely upon the old
world and its troubles-and your own
troubles, too.
Perhaps it is our free outdoor life
that has developed the quality. Per-
laps it is only new pose-for public
opinion must have its poses, like every
individual.
Surely, it should make happier,
healthier communities out of our cities
and states. Good cheer is more or
less of habit-pretend to have it.
and you suddenly wake up to fi:d
you've really got it, and, too, have
created more joyous atmosphere for
yourself that gradually grows neces.
saiy to you.
The happy habit is a good one
much better than the tragic-faced,
world-weary type that preceded it.

Out of the stiffness that followed,

there was the grating of chairs thrust
hastily back. But, after a great
wrench, her heart stood still within
her as through the madness she per-
ceived the purpose. AS well as Edric
of Mercia she knew that the young
Vikings vulnerable point was his
longing for his own self-esteem, a
craving SO unreckoning in its fervor
that-should he have the guilty con-
sciousness the traitor counted on
rather than endure his own reproach
for cowardice he would be equal to
the wild brazenness Of fiinging the
avowal in the teeth Of his assembled
court. Her pulses began to pound in
furious dance as the same flash Of
intuition showed her the rock upon
which the Gamers audacious steering
was going to wreck him.
For no skulking guilt was in the
face of the new king of England as
he met the startled gtAnces, but in
stead a kind Of savage Joy that widen
