I watched Dicky narrowly through the first part of our luncheon. The fear that he might be ill which had come to me when I had noticed his languid attitude while climbing the stairs gradually vanished as I noted his hearty appetite and the easy Jocularity of his manner. The thaught of Dicky ill terrified me. I had heard him say once that he did not know what it was to be sick, and beside the natural terror I felt at any illness coming to him I had a very lively dread of what it would mean to take care of Dicky in even a slight fllness. His is not & nature to brook restraint of any'kind, and I have an intuition that he would detest being nursed. By the time luncheon was over I had forgotten my fears, so that I was genuinely shocked when I heard an agonizsing groan from Dicky and saw him, bent nearly double, hanging to his chadr. “Oh, Dicky!” I flew “What is the matter?” “Don’t touch me!” he replied sharp- ly, and then I saw him try to pulk himself erect, an attempt that ended in another groan, “Please tell me what the trouble is, sweetheart,” I pleaded, “and let me help you to bed. Then I can tele- phone far a physician.” “How do you suspect' T know what the trouble is?” he growled savagely. “Think I'm some blooming medical sharp? But I won’t have any saw- ‘bones monkeying over me. It's prob- ably only somiething temporary. I'll go up and lle down awhile and I'll feel better.” “I Can’t Let You Suffer.” He made another futile attempt to straighten himself, and then, bent double like an old man, shuffled slow- ly and painfully to the stairs. Hi progress up the stafrs must have been a succession of torturing twinges judging from the groans that accom- panied every step. I, following and listening, grew more terrified with each passing moment, and as he final- 1y fell up ‘his bed I sank to my bu;lo him. to his side. knees “Please, Dicky, let me do some- thing for you. Let me put a hot ‘water bag to the spot where the pain is worst. You know heat always re- leves pain. And won't you let me fake your temperature?' “Ne, no, not” Dicky almost shauted, “I won’t have any hot water bag, and I certainly shan’t put any dinky little. thermometer into my miouth.” SIDE TALKS The Usages “The real satisfaction which praise can afford, is when what is repeated aloud agrees with the whispers of con- science, by showing us that we have not endeavored to deserve well in vain.”—Johnson. What a big influence a sentence of judicious praise from an honor- able source can be in one's life! Bapecially when, as Johnson puts it it shows, us that ‘“we have not en- deavored to deserve well in vain.” A year or two ago someone told me that a woman whose opinion I place very high had said I was the most just person she knew. I cannot tell you how often I have thought of that bit of praise or how deep an effect it has had on me. Undeserved Praise Makes You Want to Deserve Tt. Of course I know that I am far from deserving it, but I want with all my heart to deserve it and thatis a powerful stimulus. For instance, I catch myself think- VlO\lEN! READ THIS!

Tell me something I l can do.” “You can stow that talk and let me alone,” Dicky growled, and with an- other groan, he pulled the bed clothes over his heaa stubbornly. The flery temper that I had thought disciplined by suffering flared up in me. No matter how ill Dicky was he had no right to treat me\ this way. An old remark of my mother’s came v back to me. “When people are really ill, they‘re | nat ugly,” she used to say: “It's only when they're getting better or haven't anything much the matter with them that they're cross.” “Bring on That Bag.” I waited until I could control my- self sufficiently to say quietly: ’ll be in next room within hear- ing if you want me."” Then I walked steadily out of his room into mine and sat down by the window looking out over the rolling woodland with a little cold disappoint- ed feeling at my heart. ‘Was it to be the same old story all over again? Was Dicky's rudeness, his utter disregard for,my feelings to be applied to my quivering spirit like a lash whenever he felt out of sorts?
