THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 1
The Butterfly’s
Trail
By Albert Mary Thweatt
THOUGHT FOR THE WEEK
' A settled, unchangeable, clearly forseeable order of
tilings does not suit our constitution. It tends to melancholy
and a fatty heart. Creatures of habit we are undoubtedly,
but it is one of our most fixed habits to be fond of var.ety. Tne
man who is never surprised does not know the taste of happi¬
ness, and unless the unexpected sometimes happen to us, we
are most grievously disappointed.” Dyke.
Henry Van
