She could not resist giving the trousers Mr. Jarr had worn the day before a Jogele as she went past them. It ‘was a scientific joggle, and from the trousers pockets poured bills and silver, looking of larger amount than the money en masse really was.

Anger is not a normal condition, and the temporarily or permanently in- sane person lets anger run away with him, It is indeed @ lgason for the everyday, Many a great business deal ts made impossible by a burst of anger. Many a home is broken up by this demon that brings despair, Many a hope is blighted by an angry retort at the wrong time.

Variety may be the spice of love; but drinking too often at the senth mental font is apt to leave you with a burnt sienna taste in the mouth. Nowadays whether “love in a cottage” appeals to a girl or not depends entirely on whether it means romance in a California bungalow or light housekeeping in a Hariem fat. There is no such thing as “wasted vitality;” it is better to glow and radiate for one year of life than to stagnate for a hundred. Funny how the poetry begins to go out of marriage as soon as the coal bills begin to come in. ities Somehow, a man never seems to think it odd that a soft, frilly little violet#cented thing, like a woman, should enjoy being kissed by a dig, rough creature with tobacco-scented clothes and a bristly chin.
