injustice of mama’s will." Her hus-
band tells you gravely that she
"never will get over it.” Her daugh-
ter repeats resentfully that once
"Aunt Dolores did something hor-
rible to mama.” If you ask Yvonne
straight out what was unjust, what
was horrible about it, she purses up
her lips, sighs and says that no

Yvonne grieves on. That Dolores

STRANGE NERVE AILMENT
A mysterious nerve disease which
concentrates particularly in the
fingers, legs and toes, has been re-
ported by Dr. Robert Wartenberg
of the U. of California. Ha said the
unnamed disease was no handicap
but was very stubborn.
The neurologist said he had stud-
ied the disease for 10 years but still
could not trace its cause. He said
it apparently was the result of a
virus of low virulence which at-
tacks the skin or superficial nerves
of the human body exclusively.

During their long, bitter rivalry
I in the house of commons, British
I Statesman Benjamin Disraeli and
I William Gladstone rarely had a
j kind word for each other. On
I one occasion, Gladstone was deliv-
! ering a speech on one of his pet
reforms.
One elderly member, carried
away with admiration, leaned over
and whispered to Disraeli:
“What an inspiring orator! He
can convince others of so many
things!”
Disraeli, in violent disagreement
with what Gladstone was expound-
ing, nodded absently.
“Yes,” he said. Then he added:
“And he can convince himself of
smvthinp at all!”

The younger daughter, Do-
lores, whose, husband was a
prosperous man, got her fair
share of rugs, laces, china.
She got a store and the flat
above it, valued at about
$10,000. Everything else went
to Yvonne.
But Yvonne had married well,
too. She complacently took her
large share of the inheritance, even
though a good many persons felt
that under the circumstances Do-
lores should have had half. Things

ALLEGED INJUSTICES
Most everyone has some bad
luck, has suffered some losses
or disappointments. Often it
is nobodys fault. On the other
hand, the misfortune may be
directly attributable to some-
one's greed, or ambition, or
malice. In any case, after it is
over there is seldom much
that can be done. Worst of all
is regretting, complaining,
making oneself miserable ivith
self-pity. i
In the story Miss Norris re-
lates today, the woman in-
volved has no just cause for
complaint. She has received i
from life all that she is en- •
titled to, and probably a good |
deal more. But because she [
couldn't keep the major part |
of her mother's property, j
awarded to her by
will, she is nursing a perpet- I
ual grudge against her sister. [
This woman has everything \
she needs, being ivell-to-do. i
She is still pretty, although I
her children are grown. There I
is no sickness, no scandal, no
difficulty that matters. Her
daughter is happily married,
her son has returned safely I
from the war. She should be I

does have life-giving power as the
Holy Spirit applies it to the hearts
