AS Il precaution against this sickness

THE PRICE OF HAPPINESS.
Inevitable Dishwashing Which Follows
a Good Dinner as an Illustration.

There is no dinner without its dish
washing. TO every joy of life is at
tached bit of disag reeableness as q,
thorn grows under the rose, the apple
has a core, the banana a skin and the
watermelon a rind.
For every picnic somebody must
pack the baskets, after every party
some one must sweep up, after every
game of cards some one must put
things away and clear the table.
Under all the pleasantness of life
runs a current of unpleasant things to
be done. Back Of every luxurious auto
mobile are a thousand Workmen. Some
body must curry the horse and wash
the buggy.
One of the most unfortunate mis-
takes you can make is to omit to teach
this to your child.
Few recipes for happiness, saws DR..
Frank Crane in WOman's World, are
more reliable than this Form the hab-
it Of paying cheerfully and as a matter
of course for your fun. Expect the in
evitabe dishwashing, go to it and get
it promptly out of the way Most Of
the whines come from people who want
the dinner without the dishwashing.
