CARRIE'S BIG WEDDING FEAST Father Remembers Hla Days of De. spalr When He Invites Quests for the Sumptuous Repast ' Twenty yenr Hgo Mux Oootschnelder landed In New York with a slim young wife, a Imliy girl thnt could Just toddle, If) money uiid a hopeful disposition. The Drat few weeks In the strange America waa a period of such forlorn and homesick misery that Mux never forgot them. And so, when Max and Mrs. Max, no longer slim, snt In their One house discussing the detnlls of a celebration which might be suitable to 'signalise the engagement of the only daughter of a prospermia furrier to mnrry a rich young diamond merchnnt. Mux had an Idea, says the Cincinnati Times Star. "Mamma," he anld, "yon remember when we landed In New York you nnd Carrie, our baby, and met Tou remember how It waa for as then? Well, we shall give a fenst for our daughter, Carrie, nnd her young man, but we will give It to the people who are now like we were then. Our friend nre hnppy. They nre not hun gry. They are not aorrowful beennse there I no one to cheer them up. They do not need a fent like the poor peo ple that hnve come from the old coun try. Those are the people who ahall enjoy pur Cnrrle's wedding fenst." And an the fenst wna given, away down In Knst Hrondwny, In the build ing which la occupied by the Hebrew Immigrants' Sheltering Aid society, nnd which overflows nowadays with hundred of tnlnery-atrlcken people from tho countries at wnr In Europe. There wns a room where 150 per-, son could cut nt once. Aa soon as one crowd of ir0 hod finished, another enmn In. There were no Invitations nnd no red tape. Mnx and Mrs. Max nnd the pretty Cnrrle nnd her proud biiNbnnd-to-be stood at the door and smilingly welcomed nil who came. There wns chicken nnd duck nnd gnoHe nnd geflllte flxh. And everyone was welcome to nil of everything. , Even tho kids, who ntenlthlly pil fered goodies werp urged to pilfer more. And the fenst brought Joy nnd good cheer to n thousand peoplo who nre bomeles In 11 si range liinil. And the spirit of kindliness so permeated 1 It nil thnt Maninm Onntsehneldrr, now j nnd then, wns compelled to wipe nwny n sympathetic tenr. And nfter It wns nil over, Tapn Oootschnelder declared j that hi undying regret would be that j he had only one daughter to give a j. wedding fenst for. TAKE CHANCE ON HAPPINESS Oraip tha Moed at It PatMa and Join tha Oreat Throng Wtarlng Smiling Ceunttnaneta, . We were coining home from a dinner party together, my friend and I. It was Into at night and rather rainy and n we sat toKi-ther In the dump. , almost empty trolley car, my frlenil apoke very umlit- nly and seriously, writes Margnri-t K. Hnngster In tin- .

I "WhyT I questioned at last "why I are you afraid to take your chance to ' be happy f ' "Hccause," answered my friend, and ber eyea looked far away past the car and the rain, even "because I'm afraid thnt It won't last I" When It Is autumn, and the leaves are crimson and gold-colored and very beautiful, we know, even aa we admire them, that they will he brown and withered some day. But that doea not keep ua from loving their glorious col ors. It's like thnt. too, with flowers, and springtime, and the bine sky of sum mer. We know that the flowers will fade awny and that springtime will go and that there will be winter storm cloud where there were(once sparkles of sun. And ao thla la the answer to 1115' friend and to other friend of mine: Never be afruld to grasp at-hnppl ncss becuuse It may not last. For hap piness la as beautiful as the flower of spring and the sky of summer and the vivid leaves of autumn. And even thoiiL'h It might not lust, hnpplm-s Is loo beautiful to puss by with never a glance. And then, as the philosopher said, nnd as we know, don't be sure, as you lake your rlmnre at hiippliw-xs, that If will not slpy. Look around your cirri'1 of friends, look nt your business nsxo clnlea, look at the cnsnnl crowds that you pass every dny nnd you'll see thnt the average of bnppy fnee I rather high. You'll see more smile. I think, thnn frowns; more merry face than sad one I Pon't be afraid to take a chance at happiness beennse yotj fenr that It Is too beautiful to Inst, Take your chance.
