CHAPTER .xxIIl-Continued.

Patty. tired of listening TO a con
rersation she could not understand,
and. remembering the visitor, asked:
What shall | tell him."
Wait a minute, Patty Wright
mOtioned the child to the door. Then
he turned to Gloria you can leave

that I cant value too highly the mo-
tive that prompted your call. To the
end I'll treasure it as a memory hal
lowed by the parting from the only
woman I-Good-by.'
He felt he could not complete what
he wished to say without a show of
emotion to which It would not do to
give way. The only thing he could do
was to hold out his hand and say,
"Good-by"
Gloria put both her hands behind

she did not culver under his scrutiny

After Patty closed the door there was
an awkward silence which he broke
by saying, 4 must say that this meet

Doctor Buttinger, a German physi-

Art of Economy.

All economy, whether Of state
households, or individuals. may be de-
fined to be the art of mana girg labor
Now, we have warped the
word economy in our English Ian
guage into a meaning which 1t has no
business whatever to bear. In our
use Of it, it constantly signifies mere
ly pairing or saving; economy of
rooney means saving money-econ-
omy Of time, sparing time, and so on.
But that is a wholly barbarous use Of
sense, for it is not English and it is
bad Greek; barbarous In a treble
sense. for it is not English, it is bad
Greek. and it is worse sense
Economy no more means saving
money than it means spending
money 1t means the administration
of a house; its stewardship; spend
ing o. saving; that is, whether money
or time, or anything else, to the best
possible advantage

SEEK BRIGHTNESS OF LIFE
Excellent Idea Is That Recently Put
Forth by an Eminent English
College Professor.

A professor in one of our famous
universities has suggested a chair of
smiling and course in good-feuow-
ship.
We have courses in decorum and
courses in composition and courses
in the direction of energy Then what
reason is there against inaugurating
a course in optimism? Why should
not our young people be taught to
think along the path of sunshine, to
look for the brightness in life in
scientific methodical way?
Too much of the present-day learn
ing is inclined to make gloomy peo-
pie of us. Smiling, which is a sort
of banner OF optimism has too long
been the uncertain matter of temper
ament instead of a reliable habit Of
life
As a rule. the majority of persons
are attracted TO others who smile cas-
lily, These smilars succeed in bust
ness, so that success is often said
to be the cause OF their smiling when
perhaps it is the opposite which is
true
They seem to radiate happiness and
opulence. and We say their paths lie
in pleasant places.
But maybe they light the paths with
their own smiles
There must be way in which
thought can be brushed up with light
touches Athletics teach the man to
control his temper. the gymnasium
/ braces up his muscles; course in
/ ethics sets his face toward the moral
standard. There surely is a place for
| a course in smiling.
/ And there is no reason why it

people are killed by lightning because

Why Called "PIn Money"

Why is it called pin money!" The
answer TO that question goes away
back to the fourteenth century, Pins
were pins in those days. They were
not carelessly lost or cast away as
they are now. The law permitted that
they be sold only on the first two days
of each January, in order that they
might not become too common. 1t
therefore became the custom for
women Of all classes to buy their
years supply of pins on those two
days. and the money given to them
by their husbands or fathers for that
purpose was pin money"
