# great saving to the tax payer.

1$ THIS WHA T WE MISS
nf**
What la it that We have lost out of
our lives ? What is it that has taken
go much of the joy out of living ? A
few evenings ago we were one of a
gathering of friends who had dropped
jnto a home to surprise the father and
mother on the twenty-fifth anniver
sary of their wedding. It was one
of those old-fashioned parties where
every fellow brought his own “eats,”
and we just piled the table with good
things and went at them. Tire,affair
as refreshing as those old time
Sunday school picnics where we drove
the ants off the table cloth and sat
CrosB-legged on the ground-
Yes, we have lost something out
of life; the old simple life, as many
Of us once knew it. Mere man has
become a sorrowful sort of animal in
these days of jazz and it is good
Sometimes to get a taste of the past.
At this surprise party, someone
’ bad the temerity to dig up one of
thoBe old song folios. Over in one
corner a girl sat down at the piano
and a man leaning over her began to-
»ing ‘‘Juanita.” |lt wasent long
Until the entire crowd had joined in
the singing and the old home echoed
to the strains of "My Old Kentucky
Home,” "Sweet Adeline” and “Annie
Laurie.” And then, a rich, tenor
voice reminded us how dear to his
heart were the sceiles of his childhood,
and we all joined lustily in singing
' "The Old Oaken Bucket. ” But there
wasn't a jarring jazz note to be heard-
The old songs, the sound of hap
py voices, the old love sentiments,
- wholesome food well cooked, th finer,
nobler thoughts and the sound of real
inuaic made us all home folks once
more. When the party broke up we
drifted Wown (the street singing
"Good Night Ladies,” while the sweet
spring air laden with the fragrance
*f lilacs fell like a benediction over us.
Isn’t this what we miss? Those
Simple, innocent pleasures that, after
all, are the only real source of true
happiness.
