may have heard that the ~frying-pan
was the curse OF the English cook. and

Thomas Carlyle one quite forgot to
buy a Christmas gift for his wife.
There Is nothing unique about this.
Other men have done the same. Nor
Is there anything particularly generous
In the way he made up for his neglect
to remember the day. He wrote the
following letter:
1.-THE prophecy Of a washstand to
the neatest of all women. Blessings
on her bonnie face, and be 1t ever
blithesome as 1t Is dear. blithe or not.
IT. Carlyle. December %, 1850"
The great man did really give his
wife I'VE pounds with which to buy
the promised washstand. at which he.
no doubt, washed quite as often as
she did. But that's a man Rll over.

Hilda cared for Horace, toe. But not
enough, not quite enough.
When Hilda was twenty-five she al
most yielded. Someone had that day
asked Hilda her age. She had candid.
ly admitted she was twenty-five.
Later in the afternoon she had
heard that "if Hilda admitted I o TWEEN
ty-five she must at least be thirty-two.''
Hilda felt old then, discouraged. But
she. didn't quite accept Horace.
From then on Hilda's age was very
uncertain. Horace was fearful, lest
at first Hilda drop a year every year.
She could never claim eighteen, or
even twenty. ven though she was very
young in appearance, baflingiy SO.
Hilda had been thirty for the past
three years now, and still Horace was
around, admiring her, loving her, more
and more all the time.
But the strain had almost been too
much. Horace had loved Hilda, a very
long time. Hilda had taken a long
time alone to become thirty. He
would ask her once more to marry
him, then he would go away, never to
return he tod himself dramatically.
"Hilda," he said to her as he gave
her the Christmas bouquet for the
well, he wouldn't keep track Of the
number Of times ever In his mind
'I'vs told you how 1t Is. / must know
finally, tonight. I can't bear this any
longer.
won't you marry me, my darling?
Right away, without any more wait
ing? Can't we start out the new year
t~Ogether?"
"Can't we-my darlfngT"
And at last Horace knew bliss.
Shyly, sweetly, clingingly, and with
such slow yielding awakening Hilda
was in his arms, and as she lifted her
lips to his she murmured:
sand you'll take care of me, won't
you, Horace? And always be good to
me? For I'm only q child, Horace
dear, and / mustn't, 1 mustn't ever be
disillusiOned."
And Horace was filed with Christ
mas charity. He did not tell her of
the time-a good many years back
now-when she had told him he was
too young for her!
For one thing, he was too happy.
And for another-he didn't think
ages amounted to anything anyway.
Everyone was as old or as young as
they wanted to be!
Besides, at last Hilda had consente
to marry him. He could afford Chris
mas charity.
For he was filed with Christn
cheer and q great and wonderful
piness.

yet agreed to, marry him, and he had
asked her many a time. I
The second time Horace had pro-
posed had been when Hilda was six-
teen and they were sitting out the sup
per dance at one Of the Christmas hol-
iday parties. Horace was two years
older than Hilda.
II couldn't marry you," Hilda had
said, "as you are really nothing but a
child. I need a man more my own
mental equal"
"But you're two years younger than
I am" Horace had protested.
"True," Hilda had admitted, "but a
woman Is always S 70 much older than
a man.. Hilda called herself a w.m-
an from the time she was sixteen until
she was t%wenty-one.
Again and again Horace proposed.
Hilda always put him of, but she al
ways seemed to come back to him at
ter each worrisome Irritation. Per-
sistency and devotion were Horace's
strong points. and every Christmas as
he took her the yellow %rosebuds, which
was his choice of a Christmas bouquet,
he proposed anew. 1t was Horace's
annual declaration!
Hilda loved. the fiOwers-the rose
buds were always SO pretty and Hor-
C had so much taste. Always In the
center was a spray Of holly, and they
were tied with gay red ribbon. And

they really posted them from New
York and Chicago and Seattle and
Hohokus, New Jersey, and hoped that
they could fool the receiver Of the
postcards that these cards had not
been at one time gifts to them.
And he did dislike those who would
say to him after he had had his last
years suit nicely sponged and pressed,
How that has worn! 1t has certain
ly done you good service, and it doesn't
look bad at that !"
But especially he disliked and felt
as though he could almost choke those
who were given to telling others to
count their blessings, while they
moaned and groaned and whined and
whimpered Themselves at all times
and about all things. I:
These were his special diversions,
but Hilda was different. Hilda never

mo BE honest, to be kind

a little less, to make upon
the whole a family happier for
his presence, to renOunce when
that shall be necessary and not
be em%bittered, TO keep a few
friends but those without capitu-
lation-aboye all, on the same
grim condition, to keep friends
with himself-here Is a task for
all that a nan has Of fOrtitude
and delicacy. He has an ambi-
tious soul who would ask more;
he has a hopeful spirit who
should look on such an enter
prise to be successful. There Is
indeed one element In human
destiny that not blindness itself
can c~ontrovert; whatever else
we are Intended to do, we are
not intended to succeed failure
Ia the fate allotted. 1t Is so In
every art and study. 1t Is SO
above all the continent art OF
living well. Here is a pleasant
thought for the years end or
for the end Of life. Only self
deception will be satisfied, and
there need be no despair for the
despairer.-Robert Louis Steven

There was something SO nice about
Hilda. She never made remarks as
some girls did, and men too, for n a
matter, which we're SO annoying.
When she rang up on the telephone
she did not say "Guess who's talking,
now, just guess" and disguise her

busy, and so did not have what some
considered a little joke.
There were some kinds Of people

those who said, for example,: "If the

going to strike you. It's absurd to
