It's Always Darkest

I'm feeling better than I have for years" a friend of mine told me the other day in a strong. happy voice that backed up her words.
 For the last ten years she has been on and sometimes across the boundary of invalidism. During that period she has been operated on three times. The last time the doctor decreed that an operation was necessary, it did not seem to her friends that they could let her go to the hospital. l remem- Der what a gloom settled down on their hearts when that decree came. It seemed the final blow of fate.
 And yet. when I asked her what she thought had wrought the change in her health she answered prompt ly. That last operation, without doubt. I've been gaining ever since" Our of the BlaclScst Day Came
 Sunshine.
 Naturally my mind went back to the black day when she was carried to the hospital. It was one of the blackest days that those who loved her ever managed to live through. and yet see the days of sunshine and health and happiness it has brought them and her.
 The best things of life often come wrapped up in the most unpleasant looking packages, don't they?
 Two of the best things that eTer happened to mo were these-1 | fiunked my examinations to the nor mal school and l lost my second | newspaper position.

tone of this letter. Won't it be too cruel blow to him when he finds his dear little girl is married"
 Dicky's tone fairly dripped with irony.
 He will be surprised certainly" I answered, "but as he never was my lover, I do not think it will be any blow to him.
 Who is he anyway? Why have you never told me about him? What does he look like ''
 Dicky fairly shot the questions at me. l turned and went into my room. There l rummaged in a box of old photographs until I found two fairly good likenesses of Jack. I carried them to the kitchen and put them in Dicky's hands, He glared at them, then threw them on the table.
 "Humph! Looks like a gorilla with the mumps," he growled. Who is this precious party, then. if he is not a lover or relative?"
 "He is an old and dear friend. His friendship means as much to me as well--say-Lillian Gales means to you.'
 Dicky stared at me, long, long look as if he had just discovered men. Then he turned on his heel

In the old days the housekeeper rushed to pull the shades down the moment the lamps were lighted, but nowadays people are not so particu- lar.
