“Madam,” said the guide im-
pressively, as they halted opposite
one of the mighty erections, “it
took nearly 2,000 years to build
this.”
“I can quite believe it,” rejoined
the visitor vigorously. “Our work-
men at home are very nearly as
bad.” .

Old Mother Nature has just is-
sued a brand new shiney year to
to play with, and at the end of
twelve months she will demand an
accounting of how we have play-
ed the game, whether or not we
have done our best, fairly, square-
ly, honestly and conscientiously, to
the best of our knowledge and
ability, or have been careless, in-
different, soldiering on the job, a

You will know a pipe smoker
when you pass him on the street.
At first you might think he is a
shoplifter, poor man. There is a
bulge in one of his coat pockets
—that is his pipe; there is a
swelling in the other—that is his
pouch or can. There will be per-
haps another lump in his vest
pocket—that is a box of matches,
for he lights a good many. If he
suddenly stops and acts as if he
were taking an inventory of his
clothing,do not think he has been
robbed; he is only going through
the motions of preparing to smoke.
He must assemble his smoke with
minute and loving care, like a
cigarettes, but because he is one
of those who are by temperment
philosophic. Whether in science, or
the arts, or philosophy, or com-
merce he is the muser, the specu-
lator, often the mystic.
Fishing, as old Ike Walton sage-,
ly declared, is the contemplative
man’s recreation; and whoever
heard of a genuine fisherman who
did not love his pipe ? Go, if you
can, into any room where scien-
tists or engineers, men who ponder
deeply, are congregated in discus-
sion. You will find them in a fog
of speculation and pipe smoke.
The pipe both induces and aids
the contemplative mood. It has
that mysterious power of a sim-
mering kettle on a fire on a cold
winter night. Observe the calmly
beatific mood in the face of a man
who sits drawing on his pipe—is
it not akin to the reminiscent,
ruminative mood of the husband
man and his good wife as they
sit and listen to the kettle sim-
mer? The slow wisp of fragrant
smoke curling up from the coals
in a pipe has the phychological
effect of a camp fire, that altar

Pipe smoking may be a valu-
. able accomplishment. Washington
Irving, the historian, states that
when the hostile British fleet was
about to enter New York harbor,
the Dutch burghers hurriedly en-
tered into council to discuss a
means of defense. During the
council the smoke from their clay
pipes rose like a great fog over
the entire city and so obscured
the harbor that the English could
not find it at all.

It is with great pleasure that
we announce the engagement and
coming marriage of Mrs. Mable
Shaw R. N. to Mr. Beverly Wilson.
The young couple are very popu-
lar members of the younger set
in Baytown society. They plan to
settle down in Baytown, and Mrs.
Shaw will still be connected with
the Hospital as relief nurse. The
Hospital staff wishes them every
happiness.
