Making Life Joyous.

1t is not the great tragedies
which make life SO disappoint-
ing. 1t is far more the lack of
the word that might perfectly
well have been spoken, the letter

paid. 1t takes very little some
times to set life at the full again,
and when our hearts do leap
with joyit is more often than
not because something old has
flourished again. Why hunt up
novelties when by just a touch
on some old spring the whole
world will look like a new world
to someone you know? Is there
one Of us who does not know two
or three extra spots where he

Germans Took All Women Of Noyor
