shine of Joyous love, with my
heart singing for Joy and all a
thrill with the extraordinary fact
that my man has chosen the from
all the world of girls. Not that
he would have all of them to
choose from. perhaps. but I
wouldn't let a little thing like
that worry me out of the satis-
faction of feeling like it.
Besides, I should need love to
gild the one or two bitter pills I'd
be bound to be obliged to swallow
later on. Such important trifles
as difficult moods. a nasty habit
the
sulks. a sharp temper. some sel-
fishness. a perhaps a few mean-
nesses.
No. no.
Men and women. whatever one
novelist may say. are not so has.
so sweet. so attractive. so easy to
get on with that one can embrace
them unadulterated as 'twere.
You‘ve got to love 'em badly to
get away with the matrimonial
game.
And so well that disappoint-
ments, hard luck, a hard life. dia-
harmonies, set—backs and all the
handicaps which crop up in our
paths unawares don’t hurt so
much. or matter so greafiy.
. . O O O
The fact is. married life for two
ordinary people is extremely dim-
cult.
And what with the stress of
modern life. especially to those
:who see no prospect of acquiring
overmuch of the wherewithal to
gild those little pills.
So. to be anything like a howl—
ing success. there's got to be love.
and lots of it. right from the be-
continuing to the
very end.
Without it. one might just as
wvll remain unwed.
Things are quite difficult enough
as it is.

A Point in
Etiquette
When You Beg
N every community there are
I certain men and women who
have the reputation of being
good beggars; and a person who
is known to be a “good beggar"
is usually sought eagerly by
boards of managers and committee
chairmen in all sorts of charitable
and philanthropic organizations.
But to be a good beggar does not
mean simply to be willing to start
out courageously trying to per~
snade other foil: to give for some
chosen cause. To be a good beg-
gar you must be able to raise
funds without giving oflense or
causing regret.
The other day a woman allghted
f r o m a» three-thousand—dollar
limousine driven by a liveried
chauffeur and rather gingerly
picked her way across the side-
walk to a little village fancy
store. ,
"We need new supplies for the
hospital." she said. "I'm sure
you are interested in the hospital.
One never knows when one will
be carried there and need kind
treatment. As I was saying. we
need new supplies. We need a
hundred yards of unbleached
muslin. 1 know you'd be willing
to sell it at cost and i thought
maybe you'd do even bflter than
that."
It happened that expenses that
month for the proprietor of the
little fancy store had been’greater
than receipts. Most of the people
in the small town sent or went to
the nearest city for their supplies.
The woman begging for the un-
bleached muslin has never bought
a cent's worth of anything in the
shop in her life—and she thought
she was a goat! beggar.
The little shopkeeper was about
to offer the material at less than
cost. when he noticed the car out-
side and the pompous chauffeur.
He quickly figured out that just
to cdme to his shop in such style
was a matter of more expense than
the price of the unbleached mus«
lin. and the little shopkeeper had
the courage to refuse.
It is a wise rule if you are man-
agingsan organization. never to
send a rich woman to beg from a
poor person. And it wise also to
remember in your begging that
you should never take the atti-
tude that people are only doing
their duty in contributing.

She was always happy to get back

Doris Martin was an author. and
quite a famous one. “The writing

settlement. She had spent. the sum-

that she had been guilty of a sort

done. 9
Still. it was for the sake of art.
That fact consoled her. It was legi-
timate to use all material that came
one's way. -
And then it was not as if Mrs.

"I congratulate you very da-

she simply must get this scene into
her next novel.

“‘Vs were reading that there book

Doris eat. like a stone, overeat-so

that these people would discover
her novel.
“It's good and true, Elfin.” II.”
Deacon Grigg. "and I guess you

book that makes folks feel and think

sort of trash that so many author'-

Mrs. Pringie nodded. and whis-
pered. and the deacon changed the
subject. A little later Doria rose to
go to bed.
But she sat in hes- reom a long
time. half—stunned still to think that
they had read her book. and had
taken it. all so kindly.
"My next novel of Pleasant Val-

For she felt that at last she had
come to understand the valley as
she had not done before.

UCH as we may criticize the

manners are the product or a high
degree of civilization. Primitive

move about as we do in congested
city streets with the same uncon-

accustomedness for us to make
our way through crowds, over-

Many of those who have studied
