THE SADDEST WORD AND THE GLADDEST WORD' GOODBYE" AND "HELLO"

Nell Brink-ley

NELL BRINKLEY SAYS:

1KN0W lots of folks who won't say it that saddest word "good-bye." "Adieu," they say, and "addio," "farewell" and "so-long," "auf Wiedersehen" and "aloha," "until the next time" and "be good" but not "good-bye." Under the word "good-bye" the sun seems dim. Birds droop and do not sing. The heart beats slow and heavy and thj8 temples ache and tighten. The blue sky

films with gray. Every face that turns our way and passes on seems to hide tragedy. Everybody else in the world, seems like, is saying good-bye, too. And we watch them w7ith tenderer eyes since we are bidding some one farewell. After good-bye there is nothing to do, no place to go, no one to see. The world seems bigger and suddenly wiped bare of beauty. We are afraid!

But EVERYBODY wfll say "HELLO!" They don't go hunting round for another word, any other word, so they can sort of slide by the plain, potent English. Under the short, keen, gladdest word, the sun and the sky are gold and blue. If it rains, why then we suddenly like rain. Under our tight jackets the heart beats high and fast and bursting big. Every face that turns our way seems like it had good news and blinds us.

If, maybe, a sad one lifts out of the glad ones, we forget it soon. Because we are saying "Hello." And if there's a bird singing anywhere we hear it. There is so much to do, so much to see, so many folks to like. The world seems suddenly like a rose and "full," as sweet-tempered R. L. S.. says, "of a number of things." And we are not afraid.

MARRIED LIFE SECOND YEAR

By MABEL HERBERT URNER. WARREN came home radiant. He kissed Helen and the baby and fairly beamed upon them. "Well. I cleaned up $250 today." 'Two hundred and fifty!' Helen could only stare her amazement. He nodded. Not a bad day's work was it?"

"But how, dear how?"

then, so I'll get it now. A lovely one!" "No, you're to spend this money on yourself we'll get the carriage later. Now what do you want?" She thought a long while as she pulled at the buckle of his suspenders. She never was in his lap for a moment that she did not ferret her way into his suspenders where it went over his shoulder. She loved the feel of the strong web it seemed so essentially masculine.

"I couldn't go before Monday" "Then Monday," eagerly. "What time?" Anxious to settle it before he changed his mind "Well, you may come down to the office about two. But I'll not go for long I'll not be dragged through a lot of those shops." "Oh, no no," hastily, "just two or three places. I'll go around first and get an idea of where they have the best stock" "All right. Now let me make out the check" And again he put her off his lap, as one might a persistent kitten. It was not until later when she put the check carefully away that she thought of how the money had been made came back. Speculating the thing she had always so feared. What if Warren should become enticed as so many men had, by what seemed so easy and quick a way to make money. What if he should go on and on, making in the beginning and then losing and desperately trying to regain his losses, only to lose more and more? He had said he was too cautious and conservative. But other men's caution had been swept away. Could she be sure that his would not?

DECEIVING YOUR WIFE

I

By WINIFRED BLACK.

LOVE my wife," said the man who is in love with another woman, "and I don't w ant her to know anything that will

hurt her. I protect her from her own foolish fancies, I believe it is my duty to do that." And then he went and sent his wife a box of roses and went to dine with the other woman. I wonder if that man believes himself? I wonder if he thinks he's lying to his wife to shield her to keep her

i from suffering?

I wonder if he thinks that any one else on earth believes him, when he says that. Why. you poor, blind, foolish fellow, you are lying to your wife not to protect her, but to protect yourself. You find her convenient a comfortable appendage, a good thing tq have in the family that wife of yours and you don't want to let loose of her, that's all that makes you lie to her.
