Have you forgotten how to play’ Play is as natural to life as living. Kittens, puppies, lambs, children, ail about young animals learn to play the first thing. When the child grows inte the man, however, worry and work sometimes take the place of play. A sour disposition and a phys- ically weak body are the result Play builds strong bodles ‘and healthy minds. 1t is conducive to a happy disposition, a perfect diges-| tion and uninterrupted sleep.

There are scores of games A grown-up may engage in. Golf is excellgnt for persons whose consti- tutions will not permit too vigorous exercs Tennis is a good game, but it calls for strenuous work, and is not ad- vised for persons with weak hearts. If one can not play tennis or golf there are scores of other gamies. The principal idea to keep in mind in choosing play is exercise to suit the condition of the body, and a game that will glve the mind a rest from the everyday routine work. that night, as she sat in her room looking out into the dark street.| Behind her on the dresser, the alarm clock tigked loudly.
