stories which do not hesitate to in
fer near their close that he and
she. though soon 70 be married, are
nevertheless going to be happy.
like stories that make no bones
about admitting that spring-time IS
a season of apple blossoms and blue
skies. gentle winds. poetry and
pleasant emotions. I like stories
which give me the impression that
lovers keep their sworn vows and
enjoy keeping them. 1 like tales
which induce in me a feeling that
your mother loves you better than
anything else in the world-except
the rest OF the family ] enjoy sto-
ries which make believe fathers
will sacrifice themselves for their
children, If only at a pinch. and
that the children will do likewise
for their parents. l like stories
which assure me that love Is
than hate; good. greater
than evil; that kindliness Is a finer |
gift to offer ones neighbor than re-
that virtue on the whole is
an instinct and meanness of soul
llien to our better selves.
