We expect to be happy at some indefinite future ‘date, and, we look for happiness to come to us in some strange, my'sterious way. e ing ourselves. We deny ourselves the little the miraculous day to come when all fortune-tellers say. We wait 1, our spirits gay, curi We keep putting off enjov pleasures we might have waiting for the circumstances shall be auspicious, as the until we shall be well and strong in body, our purses ful family affairs adjusted, before we take our pleasure. - And,so we let the drab years slip by, and old age overtakes us while we are still waiting to be happy, and death comes, and we have lived our lives out without ever really knowing any happiness at all. 1 We are like'a man 1 know who, every Fall, buys a barrel of apples that he puts into his cellar. But he never eats the sound ones. He always eats the specked and wormy ones, and saves the good ones; and as new specks continually develop, he never eats anything but rotten apples. “Man never is, but always to be blessed.” says the poet, and the reason his is that we have not Intelligence to realize that the whole secret of f Pafs and extracting all the habpiness lies in making the most of now and here, pleasure possible out of every moment. ! are rich, yet, to | We see people who say they. will be happy when they toil like galley acquire the money that they expect*to enjoy 8o much, they slaves and scrimp and pinch and economize. They deny themselves the comfortable home they crave. They eat cheap food. They do without the books they would enjoy, the plays they would like to see, the muslc they would like to hear, the little trips they long to take. They live hard, unbeautiful, barren lives. i 1 And when the time comes that they have made their fortune. and they | start out to enjoy the pleasures of which they have dreamed so long. they | find to their amazement that you cannot buy happiness over the counter. | They have done without things so long that they have lost the 'sense of | desire. Their hands have clutched every penny so tightly that they cannot open up. They can buy feasts, but they.have neither the appetite nor the digestion to eat them. They could go to the ends of the earth, but they have gotten 20 deeply into a rut that they have no interest in anything but Main street and are miserable out of their own chair by their own fireside. They could buy pretty clothes and jewels up and down Fifth avenue, but what's the good of hanging finery on a withered old woman bent with ( rheumatism! v s e EN MILLION DOLLARS when you are 80 will not buy you the pleasures that $1,000 will when you are sweet and 20. Afid so those who get any happiness out of money must do it by indulging themselves in all the luxuries they can afford as they go along. It is every man's and woman's bounden duty to set apart enough money to secure them against being dependent in their old age, but after they have done that they are wise if they enjoy what they have in the present instead of waiting to buy nuts with it when they have no teeth to crack them. Many men expect to be happy when they retire from business. They | never take a vacation. They never play. They are geared up to high speed | all the time, They work Soghard that they never have time cven to get They never take a day off to go fishing or camping with their boys. They live on such a strain that they are nervous and exhausted and cross and irritable. It is a dog’s life, they will tell you, but before long they are going to retire and be perfectly happy loafing amlr inviting thelr souls, and getting on confidential terms with their children. Very often death gives such a man his first real rest. Often shattered health calls a halt in his activities, #o that, sick and miserable, he drags through the few remaining years of his life, a burden to himself and to those about him. But even when he does carry out his plan and retire, he generally finds that his leisure is dust and ashes in his teeth, and that he is bored to death with having nothing to do. He doesn’t know how to play, and he is too old to learn new tricks. Ile his wife she learned to do without him, and that you cannot get acquainted with yvour grown children. You have to do that when they are in the cradle. o the man misses the happiness and the health he might have had | if he had mixed his work and his play through the years; if he had given | more time to his home and less to his business; if he had taken time to enjoy his babies, to have pilldw fights with his boys, to talk to them about the | things they were interested in and win their confidence: to be a companion | to his wife, instead of merely a bill payer for her. o e e o | ANY women expect to enjoy their children when they are grown up. They' look upon themselves as little less than martyrs, because they have to stay at home with their babies, instead of running around to places of amuse- They complain that their little children are under their feet all the , and that their noise gets on their nerves. They are cross and irritable because there is always the cry for “M-0.0-O-ther” in their ears, because they are always cutting bread and butter and sweeping up after dirty little feet, and because Bobby is always fighting and Susie is alwavs in mischief. | But thev look forward to a time when they will enjoy having a debutante | daughter and a son in college, and the house will be orderly and quiet, with | only grown-up children in it. Vain hope. It is only the mother with a flapper daughter and a young son away from home who knows what real, anxiety is, and if little children get under your feet, older children only too | often walk on your hearts. i . Even when they are good sons and daughters, after they are grown it is | such a little time that the mother has them. So soon they have left her to Lgo.about the business of life for themselves. So the mother who doesn't get | any pleasure out of her babies, and who waits until they are grown to enjoy | them, mever gets any happiness out of them at all. The moral of all of which is that we can’t put off being happy. It is| now or never. X, i T8 DOROTHY DIX.

The Great Hwang River is known as China's sorrow, on account of its fidgety way of changing its course. Over its lower courses it flows through a delta that it has made, fill- ing fn an ancient bay of the ocean. ' This delta is fertile with the' soils washed down from other parts of “hina, correspondingly laid bare by the river, and hence is densely popu- lated. Several centuries ago it! changed 'its course to the southward, destroying millions of lives: then in 1851 it shifted back again to its old bed a hundred miles to the north, again rushing in on a countryside as densely populated as the suburbs of New York.
