7 SPENT the weekend with Doris and
i Joe-"Darby and JOAN" their friends
call them, they're so hopelessly in love
We had lovely quiet time. With the eX-
ception Of q long canter in the country on
Sunday morning, the only thing we did
was to sit around the lawn and gossip
until Jimmy arrived in the afternoon. We
took Joes big car and ran over to the
Country Club for tea about ) o'clock.
There were plenty of people aroup l. and
We formed a small party all our own.
Jimmy was awfully attentive to little
blond from some finishing school nearby.
She spends the week-e ends with her aunt
and uncle, and she is a clever little miss,
too. She firted outrageousy with
Jimmy, who did all his parlor tricks with
which he entertains the genus femina.
don't blame him, though, for she was
pretty enough, and the coat she wore was
stunning.
It was made of heavy pongee silk, and
fairly long-about three-quarter length.

"ATow," said the fairy queen as she
In looked over the forest, II think 1

the flowers-every one that l can find
I've opened all the tree buds and
strengthened their branches I've en-
couraged the birds and the insects and
given cheer to all the growing things
that ought to be enough for one fairy
queen Now / think I'll take a long
sleepl" So without another word she
curled up snugly in her big Jack-in-the-
pulpit home and went to sleep.
For a while after she slept every
thing went on as usual. The flowers
bloomed, the birds sang and the grass
hoppers and crickets hummed their gay
song.
But before an hour had passed things
began TO go wrong
First it was old Mr.. Grasshopper. Has
anybody seen that long stih grass

In particular; but nobody answered. You
see usually he Just asked out his wishes
that way, and the fairy queen or one
OF her good helpers answered him and
helped him get what he wanted. But
not so this time-nobody said a word.

patiently, has anybody seen that long

That's too bad" said nearby Katy

FTyHE perpetual grumbler, like the poor.
il Is always with us He is never so
happy as when he is railing at the hand
Of fate, or bemoaning his own bad luck,
or envying other people their wonderful
good fortune, and, in fact. making him
self general nuisance to every one with
whom he comes in contact.
For perpetual grumblers contribute
very. very little to the worlds happiness.
They are pessimlsts, and the pessimistic
point OF view never did achieve anything
and never will And yet these people
with the chronic Crouch take a vapue
sort of pleasure in their own gloomness
which, morbid though it Undoubtedly be,
reems to bring them an odd sort Of sat-
Jisfaction. Life to them without a
grumble would be stale, fiat and unprof-
tablet
Oh, don't the days seem lank and long.
And isn't your lie extremely hat.
With nothing whatever to srumble at?
Where the perpetual grumbler is con-
cerned, there is good deal of truth in
the above. The immortal Mrs. Gum
midge, for instance, of David Copper
field fame, who proudly styled herself "a
lone, lorn woman" and who would burst
into tears upon the very slightest provo
cation, was never really satisfied unless
she was utterly miserable. Her situation
In life was a perfectly pleasant one But
she simply had to have a grievance. And
so she fixed upon the demise of her late
lamented spouse as the tragedy which
had blighted her life. The much-a-
mented Mr.. Gummidge, by the way, had
never been anything else than a severe
trial to her in the days of matrimonial
blessedness when he was alive. An all
wise Providence doubtless had sent him
for the purifying and chastening of his
unfortunate wife's spirit. But the ex-
traordinary point in the whole affair was
that the lady did not thank that same all
wise Providence when it judiciously saw
Mt to remove the subject and source OF
her trialsiF No indeed Instead of brisk
ening up and viewing life from the OPP
timistic point of view. the relict of the
aforementioned Gummidge chose the fact
of his demise as a reason and all-suf-
hcing cause for one long and perpetual
crouch!
The curious thing about the immortal
Mrs. Gummdge, however, was that she,
in common with many, many other pessi-

mists, could really rise to the occasion
and be a sort Of ministering angel when
she so chose! When life ran along In
easy and pleasant channels, she carrie l
with her one continuous crouch, But
when real sorrow came to visit the home

choly disposition would be utterly crushed

remarkable manner and proved the life
and soul of the whole household.
Many women today have the same odd
point of view, the same strange mental
attitude. When things go right and
nothing goes wrong, they invent imagin-
ary troubles and imaginary grievances.
They persuade themselves into the be-
lief that life really is dealing rather
hardly with them. But when real sorrow
comes knocking at their door thsy rise
TO the occasion in remarkable manner
For all their finer qualities. the reservoirs
of courage and Of indomitable energy and
grit have only been lying dormant for
want OF use.
An instance of this very case comes to
my memory at the moment a family
know had "once upon a time everything
in the world to make them happy. But
1t was only "once upon time'-and that
time now lies in the dim and distant past
For it is now a long while since they lo't
all their money, their beautiful town
house and country house, their yacht ana
automobiles and all the paraphernalia
which wealth brings.
Yet they are happier today than they
ever were before. For deprivation ami
the loss Of money have shown them very
clearly their need of each other. More
over they now know the value of small
pleasures of self-sacrifce, of giving up
to Others of justifying their existence
by honest work,
And happiness after all lies altogether
In ones mental attitude toward life.
Worldly circumstances do not have very
much to do with it. And optimism is
something which is within the reach Of
all.
