beth Brown. but he liked you best
anyhow, oh, marvel Of marvels!
Poor boy, he's commonplace
enough now. You wouldn't know
him. He's a money-grubber now.
All the beautiful bubbles have gone
up the chimney. far, far out of his
sordid life. He doesn't know or care
for a thing but making money and
saving IL, and once he dreamed OF
being a good man and a great one so
you could be proud Of him. He
wanted to help the sorry and to
save the weak. You could see it all
in his wonderful eyes. Which way
would you rather remember him, as
he is now or as he was then in the
bubble days?
The girl you swore eternal friend
ship for in the old days-where is
she now? She wrote in your secret
ten years from the very hour it was
written. How ages long it seemed
TO wait and when the ten years were
up you'd lost the album and couldn't
have told positively to save your life
whether her eyes were blue or
brown. Yet on that day she wrote
you could scarcely live "a hours
through without seeing her and tell
ing her all the mysterious secrets
of your heart.
They said at home, don't you re-
member. that she was a stupid little
thing, and rather selfish, too, but
you didn't see il. Do you wish you
had?
MY husband" said the woman at
the party TO you the other day, and
her eyes fairly melted as she spoke
the words: MY husbandl" And
yet to you and to me he's just an
ordinary man. getting a trifie bald
and not particularly brilliant. Would
you dim the light in that woman's
eyes by telling her how he looks to
you. that wondrous husband of
hers?
Better Than Glass Globes.

man on the golf links the other day
and his whole personality seemed to
expand. Yet my son" is the round
shouldered young man with the
heavy jaw and the stupid. dull and
undressing eyes-but he's the
core of his fathers heart Would
you take him out if you could?
"My fiancei" breathes the boy
home from college for the vacation,
and as a great favor, shows you the
photograph of a pleasant little per
son with small eyes and a silly
mouth. What did you say TO the
boy about that picture? You just
gasped as if overcome and almost
blinked with the beauty Of it. and
the boys heart leaped, and you

you? Pretty, gay. graceful bubbles
why not?
Bubbles, bubbles! What should
we do without them?
I'd rather have the memory of

hand a dozen of heavy glass imita-
tons of one, wouldn't you?

Gomez" cried the Little Boy
Gone up the wide chimney all
alone" And for some strange reason
the Little Boy began to cry.
'All alone" he sobbed. The big
bubble is all alone"
"Sh-h-hi" said one who played
with the children before the dancing
fire. "Sh-h-h! he might hear you
and come down again and the fire
would blow him out. He is happy up
there in the great world where the
clouds are let him be-"
And the Little Boy was comforted
and fell to blowing wonderful chains
OF bubbles in the china bowl, where
all the beautiful bubbles came from.
"Ah!" said one who sat and
watched. "Ahl what a pity they
don't last, the bubbles! What a
shame that they are only bubbles
after all no matter how gay or how
splendid they are, nothing but bub-
bles!" And we all looked wise and
sorrowful and sighed. and said,
Yes, it was a pity"
They're Only Bubbles
But, do you know, believe that
we were all wrong, quite wrong.
Why is it pity that the bubbles
don't last and that they're only bub-
bles, after all?
That's one of the reasons they are
so alluring. the pretty, airy, irrespon-
sible things! They live long enough
to bring US joy. and what can do
more than that?

his bouquet.
How brave he was how gentlel
Why, he was the purest, the noblest
