But with three litile children to rear and educate it meant that poor old g-andmother had to work her £tiff old fingers to the bone cooking and washinz and cleaning for these youngsters whose support her deughter had foisted on her. She had to do without all the little comforts that soften the rigors of age, bacause children have so many necessities.

But it is the parents who hove to suffer with them in their unhappiness. It is to poor old father and mother that they come home with their children after the divorce. And it is father and moiher who in their old age have to start rearing :nother family and spending their pittance supporting pcor Mary's chii- iren. Then there i5 the case of the Xs. Mr. X. was a fine business man, always made & lol of money, tui he was a spender and a waster. No mattr how much he earnad he threw it ail away. Friends used to remon- strate with him and urge him to stve up something for a rainy day. “Not me,” cried Mr. X. t's my meney. I make it, and I've got a right to blow it in if I want to. FVIL times came. He fell sick and lost his job. Everything went, and for years and years now Mr. and Mrs. X. have been living on the charity of their friends—charity which is given grudgingly, because every one feels that it is dishonest for a man to spend his own money in riotous living and when that is gone to expect to be supported by people who have acquired their competence by self-denial. - So the proud boast of youth that it has the right to live its own life falls through in the face of experience. The mcst that we can hope to do is to live our lives so that they will bring as much pleasure and as little pain to others as possible. DOROTHY DIX. (Copyright, 1933.) EVERYDAY PSYCHOLOGY BY DR.

Caus tiously she peeked around the pile of brush. A man was going to the barn. Sounds from the barn told her that he was doing his mol"l’ll.l‘ls1 chores uhere. Patiently, watchfully e waited. At last the barn door opcned and the man stepped out and started toward the hen house. She tingled all over with excitement. In a few minutes now she would know if she was to have a good breakfast or remain hungry and dis- appointed. Then she remembered the Dog that she and Reddy were sure lived in that house. He hadn't come out. Reddy had said that he was des pending on that Dog. Her heart sank. Then man had reached the henyard and opened the gate. He entered and shut the gate behind him before cross- ing the hen house and letting the hens out. Again her heart sank. He began putting out the food for them. It was then that the door of the farm' house once more opened and out cameé the Dog. He was big and handsome, a Collie. He stretched, yawned and started tcward his master in the hen- y&d. He was half way there and Mrs: Reddy was getting more and more uneasy when there was a sharp bark over near the barn. The Dog turned like a flash, stood for a second im- movable as if he doubted his own eyes, and then with a yelp of anger started straight for Reddy Fox, who was standing in plain sight. Of course it was Reddy who had barked. Reddy waited until that Dog was almost to him, then turned and shot away with the Dog at his heels yelping and barking excitedly. They disap- peared around th: barn. The man in the henyard hastily put his pail down getting to close . He ran toward ‘e barn hoping to get a view of the chase. Swiftly Mrs. Reddy darted out from behind that pile of brush into the henyard, seized a hen by the neck and was cut and behind that brush almost before the frightened hens knew what had happened. Mrs. Reddy peeked around the brush. ‘The man had stopped and was looking back toward the hens to see what had frightened them. Seeing no one and kncwing how silly and easily frightened hens sometimes are, he resumed run- ning toward the barn from behind which came the excited barking of the Dog.
