Rimsky urged me to go to Kovno
to listen to the choirs who made
q speciality of the beautiful chants

I went in 1898, touched with
my hands the Sacred Book and
asked Hazan himself to sing for
me one of the most sacred pas
sages in the Song of Songs.
But no sooner had he com.

reproduced its music for his trans

never had been so weak and fool

times While wanted to ask him II

but he was afraid to start any

As for Mamma, she sat back
with her Lips closed tightly and
listened while the theoretical

dustrious, level-headed Boy he
had been along about 1896.

and then she decided to take
charge Of willie's Case and put
him Wise. Papa's Scheme for
breaking up the Affair with the
Flapper next door was TO threaten
to send Willie to Q Military School
II he ever spoke to her again.
Papa knew a lot about the Insur-
ance Business. but he was a Shine
when 1t came to pulling off a
piece Of Fine Work in which
tender young Affections were all
snarled up.
II happened that Papa had TO
go East for a Month, and no soon
er had he jumped the Town than
Mamma took Willie into her
Room and flashed a Bundle of
Letters on him.
There are few Samples OF the
Turkish Paste that your Father
used to send to me back in 1898"
she said. 81 hate to Call him. but
want you to know that no matter
what you do. IT runs in the Family.
Glance over this one for instance.

course, that was long before the
rheumatism caught him and he
began to see the Doctor about his
Liver. You must always respect
your Father, but you needn't be-
lieve anything he says. In regard
to your deep and steadfast Love fo-
the Beautiful Creature just over
the Fence, I will say that have
framed 1t up with her Mother To
have the two of you Married just
as soon as you are old enough,
which will be in about Five Years.
In the meantime you are at liberty
to put in all of your Time with her.
! suggest that you 60 over to her
House Immediately and Converse
with her for several Hours concern
ing Art. Literature, History, or
whatever Topic is uppermost in her
mind. When you get tired of call
ing on her she can come over and
see you. 1t is customary for an
Engaged Couple to be Inseparable."
When Papa came back from the
East he found that Willie had
gained eight pounds and was very
busy organizing a Junior Ball Team
TO do up the West Side Gang.
Every time that little Sweetheart
Came through the Side Gate to play
with him, he gathered up his Mask
and the Big Glove and made Il
quiet sneak for the Alley.
Papa saw that the Affair was
busted, and he told his Business
Partner that he had reasoned with
the Kid and brought him to his
Senses.

self. for one enemy does you more
harm than ten friends can repair.
CULTIVATE TOLERATION.
s. So cultivate federation. 1t
takes all sorts to make a world,
and we can't live entirely among
masterpieces. Likes and dislikes
we must all have. but try to avoid
making enemies. No man is wholly
bad-and often to know all Is to
forgive all!
8. Maintain your Independence
as Kipling says:
Help. me to need no aid OF man,
That may help such men as
need"
10. Also your sense OF humor;
there is room for 1t in every call
ing, and there is need for 1t, and
1t is a very great help both to
happiness and success.
= IL. Your sense Of proportion. too.
This may perhaps require some
cultivation, for the early periods
of life are apt to be dominated oy
the considerations of the heart
rather than by those of the head.
IL. Keep money considerations
in their proper place. Money is an
essential consideration in the world
today, but it should not be erected
above its proper level in the mini
Of a professional man. We have
already seen there are some things
which are above all money-health,
happiness, straight-dealing are 4
few.
13. II you have cultivated a sense
Of proportion you will be temperate
in thought and word. as well as in
deed; you will be moderate and toll
Grant OF others who think differ
entity; you will not be averse to
the use Of the good things put into
this life, but you will recognize the
essential difference between using
them and abusing them. One is
thinking particularly of tobacco
and alcohol and of Kipling's won
derful line, Don't drink cos an
other mans thirsty"
II. Finally, never look back with
regret. Old, unhappy, far-off
things must recur in ones mind
sometimes, but don't brood over
them-the habit tends to make you
a back number. How break such
a habit? Well by cultivating what
call"switch thoughts" of a happy
and useful nature. Memory has
been we'll said to consist in the art
of forgetting.
WHICH IS GREATEST?
1 have kept to the very end the
we.ghtiest consideration of all
the question of the attitude to be
adopted toward the things beyond
our power OF vision.
We all agree that tastes and feel
ings differ, and there is room for
much diversity of opinion. For in
stance, which do you consider the
greatest your reason or your
will or your imagination? Well,
your answer will depend partly
upon your personal feelings. Which
would you rather have created-a
great poem or a great opera; n
great cathedral or a great step In
science7 Again. II all depends.

bp noted British physicians on
hoO happiness may be obtained
has led to some notable articles
on the subject. One of the most
interesting is an analysts Of
"Happiness' or "Happtness Dis
seeted," by Sir Alfred Fripp, SUR
gcon-tn-ordinary to King George.
Sir Alfred takes the position that
happiness is frame of mind"
and one can al,rays be happy II
he will only think he is happy.
The Washington times., 1922-02-12

Ut is certain that success cannot
come to everybody. nor can
everybody keep his health; but
happiness is within everybody's
grasp. whether he is successful or
not; even whether he is healthy or
not. Many Of the greatest invalids
have been happy and have radiated
happiness to others.
1t is almost entirely the individu-
ais fault If he is not happy, for
happiness is a cast Of mind.
Happiness is an art. Like all
arts. it. requires fostering by
practice till 1t becomes a habit. and
any man or woman may acquire 1t.
Let me try to formulate q few
simple rules
l. First Of all a very simple
thing:-Just be yourself happily.
Each of you has a personality
an AURA temperament. Don't
try to copy others.
2. Study the art Of being kind
and considerable and trying to help.
Always remember your next be-
hind" as the captain Of a battle
ship had posted up to remind the
man at the wheel that the safety
of those following depends upon
the course you steer.
8. Keep yourself simple and
young. Keep your ideals. your
faith, your romance, your pluck.
THE SIN OF DESPAIR.
Look upon yourself not as twen-
ty, thirty or forty years old, but
as twenty. thirty or forty Springs
young. Don't let your sympathy
die out. however heavily 1t may be
taxed, nor your enthusiasm nor
your optimism. Behind the unrest
and selfishness, Of which the world
Of today exhibits so much and
which has such paralyzing results,
there turks one of the greatest sins
the sin of despair.
4. Don't cross bridges till you
come to them-remember that, as
the old woman said, "Of all the
troubles in my life three-quarters
never happened"
6. Cultivate the art of suffering
fools gladly, and answering them
according to their folly.
6. Choose your friends wisely
and then keep them.
Z. Therefore, don't quarrel with
people. Anger has been we'll called
81 brief madness" and jealousy is
the same. 1t is foolish, and though
common, II is a very expensive
luxury And It is harmful to your
