that my choice was wise, but at first
I always feel sure that have made a
terrible mistake."A

woman, and 1 don't know OF any class
of sufferers with whom I have deeper

Regret is . diseAses lff.,s =
No, I'll take that back, for after all
regret is not always bad. Regret in the
right quantity and under the right con-
ditions il helpful medicine. You
choose !selfishly, you hurt someone's
feelings, you act over impulsively, and
you feel regret-that is right. You suf-
fer, and out Of that suffering comes
healing and growth. You Will try to
do better in the future. You have faced
your own faults, you have understood
their consequences, and you are better
equipped to fight them. So far. regret
is the best medicine in the world.
But beyond this lies the danger point.
There are many medicines which. taxi
en- in small quantities and at the right
time, will counterfeit bad condition Of
the system: but take them in excessive
quantities and under wrong conditions,
and they become dangerous drugs.
poisoning and weakening, instead of
healing.
So it is with regret. You choose UNI
wisely, you see your mistake, and you
are plunged into abysses of regret. In
stead of accepting the lesson Of your
mistake. charging it up to experience
and making up your mind to do better
next time. you indulge in a perfect orgy
of misery. IF only had done differ

wish for the power to turn the calendar
back with a longing that is almost
physical pain. One woman told me that

her heart If they had associations with
the time before she made her choice.
For instance, she would pick up an old
newspaper to light the fire and And

Never let regret get you like that.
Suppose you have made a mistake:
suppose you have even done wrong.
Will it do any good to let it poison
your whole mental system and make
you an undesirable housemate?
Face the future. Put your energy
into doing the best you can today. not
blaming yourself overmuch for yester-
day.
Cheer up, my friend. take new grasp
on the happiness and who knows but

When they reached the place where
Mr.. Dog had left Billy Pig they heard
groans. There was Billy Pig rolling
over on the ground and holding his
stomach as though he was In great
pain.
And he was suffering. for the big
dinner he had eaten at Mr.. Rabbits
house was too much for his small
stomach to digest.
The doctor soon found out the trou-
bic and said: He has overeaten! He
has bad spell of Indigestion"

and he opened his mouth and swal-

worst medicine he had ever tasted.

When Billy Pig awoke some time

to see IL he could see Mr.. Dog, and
wondered what he would tell him; but
when he espied Mr.. Dog asleep he de.
cfded the easiest way was not to tell
him anything.
