Gardening is a useful and facinating
occupation. 1t is splendid exercise too,
and takes a person out of doors back
to the original fount of rejuvenation
The public received liberal education
in gardening during wartime neccs-
sity, when even the little children
planted their tiny plots. They liked it
and probably will not outgrow the in
clination entirely. Then too, the city
man will no longer watch anxiously for
the peas to come up which he has
planted about six inches below the sur
face in hard, dry clots of soil This
sport of gardening is interesting and
not so tame after you have seen your
efforts washed away over night by a
hard rain, or nippcd before the bud
even, by a late frost. But if you are
successful in your attempts, the prod
ucts of little garden will reduce your
provision bill enormously besides sup
plying you with nourishing and tempt
ing food.

How many people are downcd in life
by circumstances, or their surround
ngs Poverty, for instance, often
makes the poor shftlesS, incorporate,
and dirty. OF course all these circum-
stances are dependent practically upon
the bodily and mental conditions in
duccd by poverty. Yet it is possible
for a human being to rise above such
conditions. Have you ever noticed a
cat sitting amidst the filth Of dirty
back yard, while patiently washing
every inch of her NANCY fur, especially
the white spots5 Just 50, there are
many poor people struggling along in
"A tiny shack, while working Staunehly,
and living in scrupuous cleanliness.
Often they realize that it will take
years of just such patient grinding be
fore they can live even in comfort TO
say nothing Of luxury. Yet they never
sacrifice the work Of years to a few
months of idle debauchcry. They face
poverty squarely, perhaps because they
cherish the birthright of right living
which ceyry man inherits

What is happiness? II is easier to
say what it is not. and ask what makes
people unhappy. The unhappiest PEG
pie are always the most sclf-centered
ones, They can find happiness in moth
ing unless It is directly attached to
themselves. Another's happiness brings
them nothing but envy Happiness is,
of course, tie thing we are all after,
but we make such hard work of find
ing it 1t is SO difficult for most of us
to see an inch beyond our noses. If we
could only see Il, unselhshness means
more for us IN the end yet we selfshly
grab eeyrything that comes our way
and make ourselves generally miser-
able, Forget self'' is the pass word

How many of us worry ourselves
sick about some event in the future
which never happens. 1t is a good
thing and a necessary thing to prepare
for the future, but when you have done
your best all the worrying in the world
won't make it any better Don't always
think that only the unfortunate things
are going to happen to you. Don't be
like the people who built beautiful
new home and had one room all done
in white to he used in the time of sick
ness. A house with one "sick room is
liable to need seeyral, for the constant
thought of sickness is depressing and
brings on i'll feelings. Prepare for the
future to the best of your ability, but
don't worry for fear your preparations
will be inadequate.

events put the kybosh on him."
"Poshed up" recalls dHadfu things
to the demobilized man. for how many
weary hours has he not spent in
'poshing up" for parades and inspec-
tions? To "posh up" means, Of
course, to make oneself look smart.
In civilian life 1t means specklessly
polished boots, starched collar, neat
ly pressed trousers carefully brushed
hair, and shining morning face. In
the army 1t meant buckles, buttons
and cap badge polished to distraction,
leather equipment with a supergloss,
and well "blancoed" hayersack and
vallse (khaki color, of course). And
for the man warned for guard" be-
hind the lines or In camp at home
there was always the hope that by
"poshing up" to the nth degree he
might escape duty, the prize awarded

done one day must be done over again

inexpensive JOY.

The amount of Joy In ones life is
not at all dependent upon the amount
OF money one spends. A man can get
just as much fun, for instance, out Of
lying about the height OF his tomato
plants as he can out of pursuing the
same course with respect to his mile
