the declaration of hostilities. Desiring TO
help IN the work of war relief, he applied
to the American Ambulance to 90 as a
Red Cross worker. but found that no
more assistance was needed Just then. He
remained in Paris for a time, but as all
his American acquaintance had left,
there seemed nothing he could do but to
return to this country.
On arrival here, he investigated the
various plans under way to help the suffer
crs from the war, and took hold with the
surgical dressing committee, which was
then just starting the work of forwarding
| hospital supplies to Europe. Since then
about 100 branches of this committee
have been organized, including one in
Brattleboro. Mr.. Willard has been very
Iactive in starting these branches, and has
given lectures in many places to gain sup

This eternal treadmill and weary grind
of perpetual gaiety never did and new
er could mean good time. The
sameness of its pleasures merely grow
nonotonous
Under the perpetual smiles of the
woman who is forever seeking to
climb in the social armament lie quite
lot of disappointment and very
great deal of boredom. She som etimes
grows very sick of the whole shallow
affair. Dinners and dances and card
parties can cease being the wildly
hilarious affairs she has always imag-
ined them to be, and only succeed in
becoming a very real nuisance. Yet
she feels that If she is to get any
where at all, the pace must be kept uD.
She doesn't want to drop out, to be-
come back number, to be overlooked.
She wants popularity, success, social
distinction-in fact, all that she puts
into her particular Interpretation of
the term good time"
And so, in order to achieve the
"good-time" effect, she works like a
slave. does a hundred things she
would infinitely rather leave undone,
and at the same time leaves undone
all the little things that bring with
them infinitely more of real and per-
manent enjoyment than a rigid adher-
ence to social gaieties could ever
bring.
If people could only be brought to
forget this sou[absorbing idea of a |
good time," and to view the matter |
'ensibly and with a disregard for the
opinions of others, there would be
much truer happiness in the world.

Every day she watched and cared

She called her father, and they

The Enjoyment of Life

The truest enjoyment of life really
depends on our faculty for making the
very most of things and extracting
the greatest possible amount of enter
tainment from material that to the un
initiated may seem quite dull and un
interesting. This is lesson in philos
ophy that has been cited for thousands
OF years-and the curious thing is
that the old-time philosophers learnt
the lesson more truly than do the
would-be philosophers of today. The
reason of this is not quite fashionable,
unless, perhaps, that in the old times
there was more breathing space for
thought, more time to mediate on the
why and wherefores of life.
Nowadays, the minimum of thinking
with the maximum of rushing around
in a desperate search for a good
time" is the keynote Of living. Such
proceeding scarcely sounds calculat-
ed to bring happiness with it. And 1t
most assuredly doesn't bring happi-
ness. For that is altogether the wrong
way to set about things.

Bedtime Stories
For Little Folks
THE GOLDEN LEAVES.

Once upon time King who ha,
become very poor called his thre
children to him and told them he wa.
old and poor. and that all he had IL
the world was two pieces of gold ant
a cow.
Two of the children were boys
Gabo and Jennar-and the other, the
youngest, was daughter named Leila
Gabo and Jennar did not want the
COW because they wished to be of te
the city and make their fortunes. as
they thought they could do, in a. very
short time. so without giving any
thought to their poor old father ,or
their sister, they, took the pieces s,oi
gold and started of for the big city,
miles and miles away.
When they had gone the old King
told leila to take her cow and follow
after her brothers. 81 am old and
shall not live long," he told her. "You
may be able to sell the COW and buy
wool to weave beautiful cloth, which
you can sell to the king in the next
kingdom for large sum of money"
But Leila told her father that she
would not leave him: she would try to
sell the COW and then come back to
care for him.
The next morning she was up early
and, leading the COW by a rope, she
started off to find a purchaser.
She had not gone far. when she met
an old woman, who begged her for a
drink of milk, so Leila filled the cup
which the old woman handed her, and
return she received a queer-looking
seed.
Plant this where you can watch
it, said the old woman, land you will
be well paid for the milk you have
given me-
