For a minute they sat quiet, look

were almost frightened. Then Neal
burst out:

cried Phoebe.
Then they laughed, and the ice
was broken. Soon they were deep
in the process of getting acquainted.

was moved to consider this one
night. not long ago, when l was
obliged to listen to a conversation be-
tween q girl and a young officer who
had rushed up to say; How are
you7" and many other things, doubt
less, had he had chance, for he
breathed health and Vlgor, But the
girl began. She had had the most
awful time since she last saw him.
Been an invalid, Was yet, And the
last. most horrible thing had been the
dentist. She talked gIibiy of X-rays
and symptoms end seemed not to con-
slider that there was a mental immod-

The young officer broke in once or
twice. Said he was so sorry. In an
interval he hegan to tell of some mar
velous stunts he had recently seen,
One could SEQ that he was an athlete
himself, but the girl would not listen.
He looked SD fine and fit, so healthy
minded One could understand that
he had disciplined his body, that he
had taken good care that It should not
master him, but that he should con-
troll 1t as far as he could,
1t was just the other way with
the girl. She had watched and pet

her and behaved just as a spoiled
, child does. Refused to permit any
consideration but itself. At least l
heard her physician say so in an eX-
asperated way. He remarked that she
had been i'll and that she had entirely
recovered, but that he could not
make her believe so. Invalidism had
become an interesting pose to her.
4 wish she had her living TO
make and had to earn everything
she eats and wears. She'd forget her
self" he growled.
That reminded me of the epigram
of a great Frenchman; Nothing
worth while GENES as a gift, nor oven
can be bought cheap" We really have
to work in some way for everything
that is worth while, even health, for
we must discipline our bodies in its
