Many of us—more than will admit it—really work harder during vacation time than we do during the balance of the year. But we enjoy it, because the labor is not compulsory.

He means that $1 now will, on the average, buy only as much as 65 cents bought in 1913. He has wholesale markets in mind. But the situation is almost identically the same when it comes to retail prices —cost of living. This is a sad blow to the man who saved dollars in 1913 and now finds them worth only 65 cents apiece. no use getting discouraged.

He awoke at last to the bitter know!- edge that the hour-glass of their ex- quisite pleasure was fast running out, that Monica would be wondering what had happéned to them. At the foot of the garden, Enid made him stop. “Jack,” she whispered. “you needn’t tell them—yet—unless you like.” He started. “I shall have to,” he said. “There'l! be no end of a scandal if I don’t.” “I see. I had a note from father this evening. I've got to join him immediately. He's lonely up there. You'll come to our house-warming, won't you? and bring everybody you can, I want it to be a big success.” And Captain Hewitt promised. Dawson had gone back to the rest- house and Monica was evidently in the act of undressing, fer she con- tented herself with calling to them over the partition that separated her room from the veranda. “How late you are—you two!” “We came down to meet you,” said Enid. “I don’t know how we missed you. Are there two ways?’ “There are—and Jack knows them both. He ought to have remembered that we never take the path through the trees. I suppose that's how you missed us,” she added with a touch of malice. There are decided drawbacks ta talking through a wall—even if only a wooden one.
