NE privilege to man is left—
The privilege of earning
The doss that pays the weekly bills.
H. Cholmondeley Pennell, Pegasus Resaddled.
APPY THOUGHT.—"Fridoline!" I have her permission to call her Fridoline.
Happy thoughts! Happy thoughts!! Happy thoughts!!!
I think I am speaking: she speaks: we speak together. A pause. Oh, for one happy thought, now.
"May I?" Her head is turned away from me: slightly. She does not move. "I may?"
Happy Thought.—I do.
F. C. Burnand, Happy Thoughts.
