According to the National Council OF
Education and the American Medical
association, country school children
are from 10 to 20 per cent less healthy
Than city school children. Some Of the
reasons are that tightly closed doors

more usual In the country than In
cities; that country children's teeth

AS I fingered over the package I
slipped out the thin envelopes. and
laid aside the fat ones which promised
more exciting reading. Then hur-
riedly ran thru those that promised
little. Invitations. regrets, openings of
fashionable milliners and dressmakers
all the inconsequental things that go
to make up the days mail OF a woman
socially prominent. These finished. l
compared the dates on the envelopes
of the thick, and promising, letters
and selecting that most remote, drew
out the closely written pages. Atter
a few tense moments l read:
Dearest Everett: 1t was heavenly
I am alone, and the thought of you
keeps me happy. My soul, dear
Everett, has one great faculty-that of
loving you. And all my love is yours;
often you may doubt it-this wilful
nature of mine often will not be kept
within bounds But that is only cas-
ual 1t is the other, my love for you,
that counts. You swore you never
had, never could love another i
should die did you love another wniie
was living: and even heaven would
be hell if, after was gone, you gave
another what belongs to me even thru
eternity-your love.
"I have asked myself a hundred
times what have done to merit such
supreme happiness? If you only
knew, dear heart, how 1 pray to be-
come the angelic being you think me.
1 am so far from perfect, dear My

make one over, then shall be diff

serve them. 1 held them close to my
heart until they were all wilted and
dropping.
"I shall see you this evening. Until
then know that 1 am thinking only of
you, my love-Leola."
i read the letter thru to the end,
an icy hand at my throat, my heart
aching. So even before they were
married, Leola had known she pos
sessed all that Everett had to give of
himself, of love- How she must have
loved him, to write like that! 1t
seemed almost sacrilege to me. She
had said that "even heaven would be
