un t what you do when life is just a melody and happy days go singing by like notes upon a scale its how yon carry on when paths are dark and you can see no light ahead when every plan and effort seem to fall it lnt what you give when you have all your hearts desire and from your store bestow largess to fill another s need its what you share when you possess no more than you require and sacrifice to give that is true charity indeed it lsnt what the world may c you are and what youve done buch tales may be distorted and too often quite untrue its how you ve triumphed oer dereat and victories youve won in your own secret soul that are of priceless worth to you maurlne hathway dim road october 9th likely date for thanksgiving day announcement by president rooje velt of a plan to celebrate

that t birds r of that section had so true a friend in th old miner who was never too busy a s robert entered the front door myrl came in from the kitchen her fingers were sticky with dough nnd her usually smooth brow was marred by o crease of trnpatience rob will you just run down to the store and get me a small sack of flour i m making biscuits and i haven t enough to roll them out robert s own brow creased now gosh myrl i ve had a hard day and i m tired can t vou use some thing else toflnlsh the biscuits bnk ing powder or cornstarch or some thing or let em go and have bread myrl s frown smoothed as she laughed no rob 1 can l use anything but flour not even talcum powder and you would have to go to the store for bread anyway i was mak ing biscuits because the bread was all gone i didn t know the flour was so nearly gone too robert turned wearily and went out he stopped at the corner of i the house to see if the car was out but the garage doors were closed and he decided that it would not take rnuch longer to walk than to get the car and then put it away again as he trudged the five long blocks to the store he was thinking hard every evening that week he had gne to the store to get something before he could have his dinner efes on time bread another steak a third and two mornings he had one after things before breakfast or both these mornings he had a m st missed his tram lo the city thinking back he could see that myrl had been getting more and m rt careless ab ui keeping sup- pl tb in the house there seemed to him to be little excuse for it she had the telephone and the car t shop with she drove down to the little sub urban shopping center nearly every day for other things but she could not seem to find time to stock the irder she was always meeting friends with whom to visit over s tndaes at the soda shop or she 1 dd an engagement for luncheon i idge or tea everything else about the smart little bungalow she managed beau tifully but the groceries were al w iys running out robert reflected wryly that it had become easier to nd him to the store than to order ver the telephone or drive to the grocers he had become a glon t d errand boy whose meals were clayed until he delivered the gro- ries hemadehis purc from mr smithson himself and after asking f r the bread that he knew must be i d for breakfast he leaned over the unter and talked earnestly to mr snnthson for several minutes that gentleman looked astonished at first tut as robert talked on he chuckled dnd nodded sympathetically it s a go mr kem there s a lot of em do that way six thirty then robert said as he turned towards the door he whistled cheerfully as he car ned the flour home and waited patiently while the biscuits baked dinner over they went to the neigh borhood movie as she turned out the living room lights for the night myrl remarked you bought bread for breakfast didn t you i d like a melon though will you run down to the store and get one in the m rmng yes prom sed rohert with a grim note tn his voice that myrl missed when the alirm t nkled at seven myrl awoke and saw that robert was up and gone she decided that he had awakentd early and gone out to the store without disturbing her the coffee w is just starting to perk when a flivver truck rat tied up the drive and stopped before the kitchen door almost before myrl had time to wonder the door opened and robert came briskly m with a melon but such a robert he wore a big white apron and a pencil was stuck jauntily over one ear myrl stared dumbfounded there s your melon mrs kern and a nice one it is now if there is anything else you wish brought later i can take the order right r uw or you mav telephone if you prefer and he po sed an expect ant pencil over a notebook myrl had recovered her voice if not her wits robert kern what does this mean what are you doing with that apron and that truck well answered robert meek ly iye got a part time job with mr smrtison delivering groceries mornings and evenings i ve got sd used to being a delivery boy i thought i might aa well make it pay myrl leaned against the table and laughed till the tears came i get the point rob take the truck and the apron
