Davie and Dorothy Dear. with
mother Dear and baby Buster and
nurse Nellie, were having a coy
time in the dear Dear nursery.
Outside, the rain pelted against
the windows In slanting sheets. 1t
was as dreary as February day
could be. But indoors there was
warmth and fun, and on the table
was a plate of homemade choco-
late fudge, toward which Dorothy
and Davie just naturally drifted
every two minutes, until mother
Dear called halt, declaring that
they'd both be i'll IL they continued
to eat.
But It's such good fudge" pro-
tested Dorothy.
"And 1t would be such bad
stomach ache" smiled mother Dear,
placing the tempting dish on
shelf, out Of reach.
Davie eyed it regretfully.
when I'm a man I'm going to
eat a whole painful of fudge, 'thout
stopping" he declared, thrusting
his hands in his pockets. II never
had as much of candy or nuts or
anything as I wanted, ever.
And 1 think it's mean" Davie
added in an argumentative tone,
as nobody replied to his remark,

to-eVer-ever-eat This
with triumphant eye on nurse
Nellie, who always insisted on his
eating the crusts of one slice OF
bread before he could help himself
to another.
BY this time Dorothy was becom-
ing interested. She laid Hildegarde,
her very best and handsomest doll,
across her lap and said:
LAS soon as I'm old enough to do
as I please I'm going to eat a whole
bottle of those lovely red cherries
YOU have in the grapefruit when
we have company, mother, ana
sometimes on the top of ice cream.

ened as she thought of the tempt
ing morsels.
"What's the good O. the cherries

wanted to know. I'll have all the
ice cream I want, with cherries
stuck all over it, so what do you
think of that? I wish / was grown

ut all depends" said she, with
a wise smile. Some men are boys
all their lives.
Which answer puzzled Davie very
much, until Dorothy explained In

at things, and had nothing what

The Difference Between
Drudgery and Work

You would hardly expect to find a
sermonette in a Chinese restaurant,
but 1 did last week.
It was a big restaurant In a big
city. There were probably twenty
employees. so the proprietor was an
important business man and prob
ably wealthy.
Another prosperous Chinaman came
In to talk business. They did not sit
down at a roll-top desk or even at
a tea-table. They sat at big round
table piled high with green string
beans, says the Delineator, and while
they argued and bargained both men
were deftly swapping and stringing
beans. Drudgery is work that you
can remember to dislike all the time
you are doing 1t. When you are in
terested In your work 1t is never
drudgery and when you do 1t while
you are thinking about something
pleasant you forget to dislike It.
