“A lot of modern w riters—Samuel
Butler, Bernard Shaw. Wells and ao
on—preach that family life la a farce,
hat relatives arc more apt to hate
linn love each other, and therefore
.'own with marriage.
The speaker was Lester Scott, ex
ecutive secretary of the Camp Fire
Girls, lie continued:
“These w riters are all wrong, of
course. I told one of them so the
I other day, aDd the best he could do
was to come buck at me with an
anecdote. But anecdotes, us 1 told

sisters. They sat on a moonlit pier,
and a wealthy bachelor sat between

| the bachelor's eyes and said In a far
' away voice:
" 'I have alw ays had a presentl
merit that I would die young.'
“She drew a deep breath and nestled
closer to the bachelor, and then the
other sister said dryly In the silence:
"'B u t you didn't, did you?’ "
