Of course we are nev( r contran in wanting them to do what they don't want to. Wise philosophers tell us that contentment is far better than riches, but some of us haven't either to worry about. That feeling that it was foolish for you to o on a vacation will wear off about the time the Christmas Christ-mas remembrances must be bought.

Americans borrow the hat pattern of the Mexican Mexi-can cowboy, and call it a iMerry Widow. Hopelessness and contentment are a little confused con-fused by some people who ought to know the difference. dif-ference. There were no unpleasant incidents at the visit of the American fleet to Australia. The incident which promised to be unpleasant was only threatened. threat-ened. ' x ! A fellow who harbors resentment is generally anchored in conceit. t t j Still, it's worth $36.50 to a man not to smoke j one 10-cent cigar each day in the year.
