AS TO THE GREATEST GIFT
One Woman's Idea That 1t Is Self
CompIacency Seems to Be Worthy
Of Attention.

Not long ago at little gathering
Of women several young mothers were
discussing which of all the fairy gifts
that the fates have to offer they would
choose for their children if choice
were possible.
One young mother declared she
would ask that her child have some
great talent, another desired most Of
all that her child should be gifted
with & self-sacrficing nature; third
member OF the group wanted her child
to be possessed of natural high spir-
its so that joy would come readily
into its life at every opportunity.
Then another woman, one whose
face was marked with the signs of a
life lived amidst the swirling eddies
of big emotions, made her little
speech.
II would ask above all things that
the child know the happiness of calm, "
she declared; that it be born one Of
the serene ones who go through life
softly and sweetly, knowing neither
torture nor the wild joys that mean
endless pain,
A trig little woman with a humor-
Gus, bright face added the last con-
tribution to the discussion.
THE right thing to be born with
she declared, with a twinkle, ''is per-
feet self-complacency. What you all
really want is to see your child happy
through all its life and the one thing
which keeps men and women happy
is a good fair share of self-compla-
cency. When you have that and it
stays with you then nothing can make
you altogether hate the universe. Oh,
| know it doesn't sound noble nor ex-
allied, nor nearly as interesting as
the things you've wanted, but it does
mean an awful lot of comfort and
freedom from annoyance and regret.
Just to know that you are about as
perfect as anyone and more. nearly
perfect than most, never to imagine
that you aren't good looking nor to
90 through agones because you are
stupid or badly dressed. Yes, all
things considered, | would select com
placency as the best gift Of tho gods"

down her broom and walked out of my

the interest I'd taken in her. The
Wattses didn't like her any too well

my suspicious about our town she
didn't have much Of place to turn

so you're thinking OF building
here" said the postmistress, leaning
out through the wicket. We'll, you'll
find Glen Cove a nice little town for
such as minds their own business.
That is to say, it used to be nice, be-
fore the summer people came. Now
it's a hive of gossip-fairly makes me
tired.
Il don't see why those summer peo-
pie who build houses here can't mind
their own business, but it just seems
as though they can't. They're always
talking about US and poking fun at our
ways, and what are they themselves

AS l was saying, Glen Cove used
to be nice little town before the sum-
mer people came along and began
building here. Now there's that Mrs.
Alfred Perkins. Her husband made his
fortune in oil. When they built here
started to be friendly with them, not
knowing that they were as bad as the
rest. Young Tom Perkins seemed kind
OF sweet on Milly Watts, the daughter
OF our expressman. They used to stroll
along the shore together. | used to
hire Milly sometimes to clean up for
me; the Wattses didn't have SO much
money In those days, when the sum-
mer people were only just beginning
i to settle here
We'll, of course everybody in Glen
Cove wondered what there could be
between Tom Perkins and Milly. 1t
stands to reason rich mans son isn't
meaning very much when he goes
round with poor girl like Milly.
Folks used to talk about 1t, as they
will, you know, but I'm no gossip and
nobody ever heard me say an unkind
word about anybody.

parted for New York, taking Tom with
them. After that Milly sort Of pindled
