Industry, in its simplest form, means
steady attention to the thing in
hand; opposed to sloth and idleness.n
But it means something more than
that. 1t means in addition, the steady
application of activity, mental or
physical, or both, necessary to bring
about the successful accomplishment
of the object in view in the SHORT
EST possible time.
This means setting a program-and
then trying to EXCEED it. 1t does
not mean, however, rushing carelessly
through it or sighting a single detail.
1t means working diligently to per-
feet each detail as its perfection is
needed, and carrying on to the next.
If one sets himself five details to do
today, and he perfects them and still
is eager to work, and lie will be if he
is enthusiastic, it means carrying on
to Misunderstanding ones program.
You've no idea how much satisfac-
ton this will give you until you have
exceeded your daily program-it is
compound interest. And it is q great
stimulus to further activity, interested
activity which is untiring, often re-
operative.
Industry means seizing every op-
portunity to carry on your work. Some
of the greatest things have been ac-
complished in odd moments, the five,
ten and fifteen minutes q day that we
waste; We should utilize them.
With Alertness and Judgment, plan
well your work before hand. Judgment
will form the plan. Alertness dis

Chanfer INI.
By CAROLYN BEECHER


Bruce never had analysed his feel
ings toward Lulu Hammond, never
dared ask himself if he loved th'
beautiful girl whose society banished
his depression. He had been good to
her because others had failed her, and
he longed to make it possible for her
10 enjoy some of the pleasure of life.
Her salary must be small. He would
be her real friend still. He would help
her when help was needed.
But he saw her only occasionally
and then only when they met unex-
pectedly in the street. Once he re-
fused to spend the evening with her
and regretted his refusal before five
minutes had elapsed. Her bright,
CHEEKY companionship, her merry
stories were intriguing to the man
who knew that the best he could
expect at home was either an almost
silent companion. content to merely
sit in the Same room with him, or a
complaining one because her love
could not influence him to give up
everything for her.
Muriel now studied his every word,
his every look. In some way he
might unconsciously give her a clue
TO what she sought-the proof of
either deceit or truthfulness. And
feeling her constant espionage he be-
came restless and impatient, although
he was far from suspecting its cause
He thought her hurt because of
his refusal to buy a house and live
in the country-to become an idler.
Why, he hadn't begun to live yet and
would have him bury, himself, bury
himself alive with all his youthful
ambitions unsatisfiedi
He was not twenty-five years old
yet he lived through a bitter time
and his soul was sick. He had done
his best even when Inundated and
angered. Was this new attitude of
Muriers a good augury for the
future, or was it simply a respite?
Not yet had she consented to ac-
cede to his wish to open their home
to his friends; to play her part in
the little social world about them
the world he enjoyed. He saw, or
thought he did, how her repulsion
became stronger, how it grew each
day spd year that passex-
Taking advantage of a quiet &C.
eeptance of something he had done
which presumably would have brought
a protest and which she passed with
out comment, he proposed giving a
small dinner party.
"If it is too much work for you,
Muriel," he said, "I'll have the din
ner sent in from the club. But l
should like to entertain those to
whom we are indebted in my own
home, not in a restaurant"
Her lips opened to refuse, but
closed as thought flashed through her
mind. He would perhaps give the
dinner anyway in a public place
where she could not easily watch him
even should she consent to go.
Obsessed by the idea that something
must soon show her if her suspic-
