The next day the same group met
again at the luncheon table The man
who had been challenged handed the
challenger q slip of paper.l He read
II in silence, Then he read it again,
slowly and thoughtfuIly, the rest Of
the company looking on with keen
but mute interest When he finally
laid it, down he took out his check
book, wrote out a check for $4,000
and passed It across the table. This
is what was written on the paper:
|. A baby's smile: You cannot pur-
chase baby's smile with coin or cur
rency, stocks or bonds. To the soul
that has so recently come from para
disc, the most coveted things in the
world have no appeal. A mothers
kiss, a,fathers earess, a flower, a
pretty trinket, may win a baby's
smile, but you cannot bargain for it
with gold.
2. Youth. When It Has Gone: The
mill will never grind again with wa.
ter that has passed. All the wealth
in the world cannot buy back the
zest and joyousness Of youth of the
carefree happiness of maidenhood
when maturity has blotted them out.
g.. The Love of Good Woman:
Her love, like a sbaby's smile, cannot
be bought with gold. Men barter sill
yer and gold and precious stones for
a base. counterfeit, but true love that
lasts eternally is the most precious
gift woman can bestow. No man
is rich enough to buy it; no man is,
too poor to possess it.
