 The Motor Boat Picnic.
 Two or three times MT. Underwood tried to lag behind, to increase the distance between us and the trio in front, but each time he did so either Dicky or Lillian manag ged to address some question to us which made it necessary for him to adapt his pace to that of the others.
 Grace Draper was nOticeably silent all the way home. I knew that she was disappointed, that she had count ed upon having Dicky to herself dur ing the walk homeward past the sWeet-scented fields. 1 secretly revel- led in her chagrin, although I was forced to make the humiliating ad- mission to myself that Dicky was in no way to blame for her augmented escort
 When we reached her door Miss Draper addressed me directly for the first time since we had left our house.
 What time do you wish me to be ready in the morning?" she said re- ferring to the motor boat picnic which we had planned for the Un- derwoods for the next day.
 'We'n send the taxi for you at 9 o'clock,' put in Dicl1y. We have to be at that little Crest Haven trolley that connects with the boat landings before 9:3O. That will give you plenty of time to meet us there."
 "Very well,'' she returned quietly, "Ill be on hand promptly. Good night.'
 ''Good-night" we called back in re- turn. Then, as we turned to go. Lil- Han slipped her arm through mine
 "Go on ahead you too," she said brusl>ly to her husband and Dicky "Madge and I have things to say to each Other.''
 ''Who goes on the pan now?" quer- jed her husband.
 You, of course," his wife returned promptly, "but don't let that worry you, I'll take you off before you're done too brown"
 The two men started ahead obe- diently.
 Lillian waited until they were out of earshot before she spoke.

To Keep Our Fiber Strong

Into the home of a friend of mine whose life had been moving very smoothly for several years there came a severe illness.
 It meant bitter anxiety and tre- mendously hard work for her. The danger is past. I met her the other day. She looked tired but happy
 Tt must be such a relief to have the anxiety over," I said.
 "Yes," she said, "it was terrible while 1t lasted. And yet, do you know, I don't regret it as far as my part is concerned.
 "Why?"
 She Had Been Living Too Soft Life.
 Tt woke me up. I was living too easily, it was making me weak. You can't imagine how hard it was for me at first to give up my nights sleep and how I resented it that I should have to suffer from anxiety. When l real ized how I was feeling, 1 was ashamed of myself That's not the way l used to be- and I hope it's not the way I'm going to be-"
 I respect that hope, and yet IWon- der If her life goes back into the smooth channels in which 1t has been flowing. will she not grow soft again: We all hate hardship and anxiety and demands upon our courage and fOrtl- tude, and yet we seem to need them to keen our fiber strong. Perhaps now she is so wise that she realizes her danger. she may keep out of it, but most of us do not have the vision to see the danger of our state. soft life is the height of many ones am- hilton. Perhaps we are more fortun- ate than we know that we so seldom attain it.

 men who had done well in business.
 1 said as much to the Wants-tO- be-
 cynic.
 "Yes," he said, "and I don't like
 them. They look to me like women who have too soft a life. Look how vapid their faces are. They don't look as old as they are because they aren't as old in living as they are in years. I'll bet the men Whove worked to make their lives soft are 1 twice as worth while and interesting" Perhaps the Cynic did these par
 ticular women injustice. But the type of woman he describes certainly exists. We Crave Ease As A Child Graves Sweets. We all crave ease and prosperity as child craves sweets. And too much ease and prosperity are just as bad for us as too much sweets for the child
 Too soft a physical life makes the body fat.
 Too soft a mental life makes the wits fat.
 And too soft a spiritual life gives us fatty degeneration of the character. Ease is like drug. The soft life develops the woman who won't have children because she's afraid of the pain and trouble. It produces the man who will sacrifice his convictions and i compromise with his principles to save his ease and comfort. 1 DO you remember the warning of Phillips Brooks? DO you pray for easy lives. Pray to be stronger men. Do not pray for tasks equal to your powers. Pray for powers equal to your tasks"
