ignorant of anything except old maid
and I've heard how they played
nothing but bridge whist and such
things. hated to appear like an
ignoramus.
We'll, by the time the party began
I had mastered the principal rules Of
bridge and 500, and l kept repeating

ly. l never dreamed Of explaining
where I'd got my training and couldn't
imagine why they were all so sur.

Then at the next party I went to
we found after luncheon that domi-

sarcastic-to the guest Of honor, and

Il tried to explain that it was moth

hated to tell them that they were like

unkind, not to say rude, to tell them
that I'd outgrown that easy game
years before! So had to accept the
beautiful prize as gracefully as pos

there Is tide in the minds of men.

rises and falls. that 1t swells into full

emptiness and weakness. we know not
how, we know not why. Formerly the
tides Of the sea were also a great mys.

that they were under the influence Of

So with the tides of the mind. We are
taught now that they are caused and
governed by our faith and by our love.
