save, when we have to take care OF
the pennies SO that the dollars MAJ
take care of themselves. But saving
does not mean denying. Earning a
living does not mean earning bare
existence. 1t means earning the right
to live. earning the right to enjoy the
world and the people and all the beau
tifUl things in the world. Earn little
less money and a little more pleasure.
You will be all the richer and the
better for it.
To have your friends about you does
not mean that you must spend money.
a friend who comes to your homo for
dinner expecting extras" is not worth
entertaining, because he is no friend.
All a friend wants is the pleasure of
your company and that is all you want
Of your friends

that. Didn't you find the same pleasure
with your friends gathered round your
box, on which reposed your canned
dinner as those same friends gathered
round your mahogany all ablaze with
lights and groaning beneath its burden

promotes good fellowship. Everybody is
ready to concede that "a bite" is as good
as feast. though. when the company
is good. No matter how different our
lppetites may be, we all have the
same kind of purses now, and coffee
md doughnuts, cider and cakes VIII
De appreciated by everybody.
If you can't afford that don't forego
your pleasure, your right to have com
)any. Come right out with it as you
we're wont to do when you were kids
md add TO your invitation the good
I'D phrase Please bring refreshments"
Don't though, let the fact that you
have to earn your living mean that
you must work and only work. That
S the way to grow narrow. That is
he way to dull your mind. That is
not the way to keep the peace with the
times and the advancement of the peo-
pie. And unless you do that you can
be successful. And unless you are sue
,essful you may earn a fair existence,
but not a comfortable living.
That is why 1 make this plea for
pleasure.
Erin's flag will mingle it's folds with

July. 1t will float proudly along with
the Stars and Stripes and the French

The finging of the Irish flag to, the
breeze on the great French national
holiday is not because of the SYM

IS it because some one fondly fmagines
that Erin's sons had a finger in the
taking of the Bastille. 1t is all on
account of pact made between

Of our great French national holiday

''Oh, / guess the place will be ready
said Mahoney.
But Raphael WE'LL wanted more than
guess, he wanted the word-the
architects word. which is better than
his bond. And SO with his French
diplomacy and great sayoir faire he
cunningIy said:
.'Mahoney, if my place is ready on
