l ''Whatever you do, don't get the account book habit
 That" a young married woman l told me the other day, was my n others advice when we were mar ried."
 It sounded incredible. But it sounded quite the contrary, when, having enjoyed my astonish- | r. ent she went on to explain her statement.
 It seems that her, mother did not mean that most desirab ble habit of keeping an account of what one spends ones money for. She meant rather the habit of keeping. as many a wifeAor husband does, a little men tal account book for the faults and mistakes and failures and offenses of his, or her mate. From day to day the account keeper jots down items in his little mental book against the unconscious creditor, and then some time in a crisis of temper or resent ment he filings open the account book and reads over the items or points out the staggering total
 Every Six Months She Opens Her
 Account Book.
 
 wife would have these days of reck- oning just about once in six months. Then she would open that mental account book and call him to account for little things he had said or done months ago and which he had not the slightest idea at the time had annoyed her.
 T would far rather she would speak about a thing at the time and get it over with than null it over in her mind for months until it seems like something big to her." he said.
 (One cannot help wondering if he would really like to have her speak cut every time. It is always so much easier to bear the alternative evil)
 She Forgets They Were Gifts.
 Another trick of the account keep CT is to keep a mental reckoning of all the small gifts of service and sacrifice he or she has made for the other, and then to forget they were made as gifts. and to present bill fo1 them.
 (True there are people who enrage one into this unworthy state of mind by their way of accepting all such gifts as a matter of course. If a thing Is a gift one expects gratitude. If enc never gets gratitude can one be blamed for forgetting it Is a gift?)
 l started out to blame the account keeper and here I am justifying her 0 admit 1t is more apt to be her)
 Not the Way to Happiness.
 No, not justifying. Merely ex- blaming. I do not want to encourage her by justification because l do not think that Is the sign post to hap piress in married life,-or any kind of life for that matter.
 Accounts like that are too petty. And the road to happiness and the road to peace Is found by taking the turning that leads away from petit ress.
 When you stop to think of it. what good do those account books do you? None whatever. They only cumber up your mind and heart Then why

Our men Who fight acroSs the sea
Have set high goals for you and ma.
Henceiorth II means that every man
no calls himself American
Who calls himself American
Of courage In his hours Of pain:
Must stand 10 duty unafraid--
Keep every pledge and promise made
And live his faith in God on high,
Ore he shall give their doeds the lie,
Theyy won for us the worlds respect
They We taught in Nalor's dialect
Which every race and every land
And every child can understand
That he Is more than just man
Who wears the name American -
They've carried smiles 10 children sad
Shared with the hungry all they had;
Lifted the burdens of the old,
And lit new fires on hcarthstones cold.
No shame has followed in their trail.
No woman's check is wan and pale
Because our soldiers passed along
They came and left with merry song,
And tenderly in every place
Wrote happiness on every face.
They've taught the world we're quick Ia
share
The burdens that our brothers bear
And in their cause will even die.
Their freedom and their peace TO buy.
Henceforth 70 be American
Will test the courage Of man
He, who shall toll for self shall place
4 shameful blot upon his race
And he who fails to share his bread
With hungrier men, shall shame his dead
The world has learned our nohler side
And looks upon US all with pride
To keep the glory they have won.
We must do all our men have done.
