NonStoy Lives, There are twenty-four hours in a day, and the ideal division recommend- ed is--eight hours' work, eight hours '|'sleep, and eight hours' play. = +That sounds all right, but, even if it: were-the established rule, would it not hold the flaw of being a "non-stop" day? If we weren't sleeping we would be working or "playing," and the lat- ter, while it covers and includes all forms of recreation from the very mild Lito the extremely strenuous, does not provide for a "stop." | It might be argued that lying in a { hammock and reclining on a garden {sea are "stops." In one sense yes, in | another--the real sense--no. There | is a great difference between "resting" 'and "stopping!" What you want to do occasionally i Is to stop and think of yourself. That's | called introspection--Ilooking into your- self to see how you are getting on men- tally, morally, and spiritually. All of us can recall the names of financiers who have crashed and ulti- ! mately found themselves behind prison | walls. Perhaps, if they had "stopped" and taken stock of their inner selves, | they might have seen their own moral depreciation. -and - saved themselves from the dock, "To see ourselves as others see us!" is doubtless -a great help; but to see ourselves as wo really are is of still greater importance. That's why we ought to "st"op." The "non-stop" life of work, sleep, pleasure, recreation-- the filling of every hour with this, that, or the other interest, is the wrong sort. of life. In the biographies of many of our great men, it is extraordinary how of- ten it is revealed that they *stopped!" Lord Kitchener "stopped" daily to take stock of himself. So did Glad- stone, 'What about yourself? You cannot know how you--the real you--are get- ting on, if you don't no wand again stop to look at yourself.

Though he did not know it, through the aeons of man's existence, it was to a 'receiving set"--more compli- cated and 'miraculous than that other kind of receiving set---that man owed his precious gift of vision. The eye is a receiving set that works on wave lengths of incredible minuteness, and can instantaneously and automatically "time in" to stations, however near or far.

"What has come over that 'seefer' Dick that he didna meet ye, Mary?" The pretty girl steod in the middle of the floor and explained. She drew one glove after the other slowly and daintily off.
