One writer insists that faulty work in the first grade is responsible for a large part of the retardation which is bothering us so much to-day. The wrong kind of a start is made, and whenever a faulty habit is formed, it much more than doubles the difficulty of getting the right one well under way. We are slowly coming to appreciate how much time is wasted in drill processes by inadequate methods.
"No; when I was there last I was too little to appreciate it, so we'll explore it together, you and I. I wish Roger were going with us; it's nice to have a boy along to escort us about." "Yes, it is," said Patty frankly; "and Roger is so kind and good- natured. When do we sail, Elise?" "Two weeks from Saturday, I think. Father is going to see about the tickets to-day.
It'll be no easier, starting in three months hence, and with a debt on my hands, than now will it? I've been so pampered all my life, that I declare it's going to be absolutely a pleasure to appreciate the value of a kopeck I have earned. Don't you know, Vladimir Vassilyitch, that most of us would be infinitely stronger men if we had to act men's parts? Bah!
"I haven't been well enough to go out, and she hasn't been here. I have heard from her only now and then on the 'phone. Poor child! I must try to get over there tomorrow." Next day Ann met Mrs. Vandecar with open arms. "Oh, Fledra," said she, "I've longed for you so many days! I do appreciate your coming!" "I knew you would, Ann. You are the first acquaintance I have called on in weeks.

She saw one other photograph in the Fern house that interested her.
The best quality of the mangistan is its perfect harmlessness. The patient suffering from fever, liver complaint, consumption, or any of the numerous ills that flesh is heir to, may, with perfect impunity, cool his parched tongue with a dozen of this delightful fruit; and no one who has not been laid on a sick bed within the tropics, can appreciate this blessing.
"You didn't answer me, Monsignor, when I said that I would have to consult you regarding my return to the stage." "Well, my dear child, the question whether you should go back to the stage couldn't be discussed in the presence of the nuns. Your motives I appreciate; I need hardly say that. But for your own personal safety I am concerned. I won't attempt to hide my anxiety from you."

But don't when the time comes quarrel with the present conditions of human association and think it is only with Harbury you quarrel.
