I say. Betterment is worsement
more'n half the time, and OF all bad
things in bad world the worst is

II suppose 1t is," sighed Celia.
II know ii is,' said Donovan.
"Tolerable fondness" and comfort.
After all her nurses creed was the
creed Of her own world. She herself
had been content with IL once. But
then no one had loved her. She

though you persisted in acting like
one. All the difference between "toler-
able fondness" and "tn love, too"
She was pretty sure to make rnis-
take either way. Would the mistake
be worse if she remained with "toler
able fondness" and comfort" and
gave up love. or if she lost them in
venturing all for love. and love failed
her?
A knock came at the door and Dono-
van went TO answer it, returning with
stony countenance and Padratc's
basket of orchids. She knew well
from whom they came.
"Oh. how beautiful, How simply ex-
quisite!" breathed Celia Did you
ever see anything so lovely. Nurse"
Donovan had set the basket on a
small table and backed away from 1t
as though IL held contagion.

For she was even more dissatisfied

of Celia in her gritty way.
Celia considered a moment, then
replied:
But. Nurse. if no men and women
got in love with one another the
world would stop"
And a good thing. too. in my opin-
ion retorted Donovan. showing her
self by this remark to be an uncon-
scious Tolstoian. II amt ever see
anything so mighty worth while in
the gift of life as It's called in books,
and any fool can see what amt worth
while in It. Bad health and bad people
every which ways you look. Bad most
everything. Bad luck, bad faith, bad
teeth. bad ears. Look at me. Just
turned 81, and my ears gone back on
me already"
Donovan got going so seldom that
when she did get going she was like a
runaway engine on down grade, but
today Celia was glad that she had
started and hoped that she would keep
on. Donovan as philosopher always
amused her. and as long as she kept
on brushing she hoped that she would
keep on talking. She couldn't think
her own dreary thoughts while Dono-
van was disclosing even drearier ones.
II thought your ears were better?"
she murmured now. while the other
paused for breath.

with doctors. I s'pose.' grunted Dono-
van. But saying they are better.

I'm afraid you haven't a good den

II don't believe there's no good
dentist" said Donovan. Some hurts
you less'n others. that's all. Some
times when l think of it it does seem
to me that the Power as made us
plumb is spiteful. There amt no part

They don't grow out of the dark

neither"

But it's delicious. 1t couldn't posi-
