"Of course I hold business

didn't? Now. listen to father. I

business is a grand game with all

day sunny warm for me all day.

and begged my pardon."
Cappy sipped thoughtfully at his
soup and silence settled around the
Round Table of ‘thc llilgewater
club. for all present knew that
Cappy was about to indulge in one
of his delightful reminiscences.
Presently the old gentleman cleared
his throat and began.

rising generation is something to
conjure with. “'12”. \Vhistler knew
all that was to be known about the
gentle art of making enemies. and
he made them and tgen wrote a
book about it. But w at that man
missed was a knowledge of thevgen-
tle art of unmaking Enemiel. Whist-
ler was s famous wit. and his wit
wounded and scarred the objects of
his attention. but nevertheless I
have always felt assured that he
really lacked s sense of humor.
